there are a few country songs that hit close to home as well. but this is a good start.

Pearl jam-come back. It is one of the most emotional songs there is. If you've ever lost someone one close to you and that song doesn't touch you, your Prozac dose is waaaay too high.

This song made me cry listening to it for the first time. Such a powerful simple song.

Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike
Alan Jackson - Monday Morning Church
Vince Gill - Go Rest High On That Mountain
Blink 182 - Adam's Song
Pirates of the Mississippi - Feed Jake
Randy Travis - He Walked On Water
Chris Tomlin - Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

Several others but those are the ones that have the most impact when I hear them.

Aww, Feed Jake. For sad songs, how about One More Day by Diamond Rio. I heard (hadn't heard for awhile, its a bit older) that after I had to put my cat down, and bawled my eyes out.

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Your Guardian Angel
Mayday Parade - Oh Well, Oh Well
Blink-182 - I'm Lost without You
Story Of The Year - Anthem Of Our Dying Day
Vince Gill - Go Rest High On That Mountain ( I won't forget you pawpaw. )

There are so many more, most of the music I listen to is self reflection of self harm, and low self esteem, things that I know there are other people that know what I've been through, and struggled, especially people my age.

Dang you, DooLittle! Now I'm going to start tearing up...! I'm blaming the dust and my allergies but still. Hahahaha! That's a great song too and the music video to that one (Diamond Rio)...wow! Getcha where it hurts, that one.

I wouldn't say there is anything that is super emotional for me. However, one that just triggers memories of my childhood, and guys don't laugh, is "Close to You" by the Carpenters. I don't know why but it instantly conjurs memories of hanging at the lake with my family.

Someone mentioned Pearl Jam. I really like "Man of the Hour" which they used in the closing sequence of the movie Big Fish. When Vedder takes it down a notch, his voice is just haunting.

Some of the voices that came out of the Grunge era like Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Scott Weilland, Kurt Cobain were incredible. Sadly two are gone and Weilland almost didn't come through. But Vedder and Cornell still have great pipes.

Stoned Sour - Bother: Not sure why, but when I heard it for the first time I just started to cry my eyes out. It still gets me. Just emotionally powerful, if not directly related to anything.

Within Temptation - Destroyed: I listened to all the Within Temptation albums when my common law husband of 6 years left me for a younger woman, after getting her pregnant and living a secret life for a year while still coming home to me.... I broke when he left. He always told me he would never marry me, but as soon as he was free of me, he proposed to her. It shattered my world. So many of the Within Temptation songs played to that, and helped me connect with something that was so hard to get over. Destroyed allowed me to feel angry, when all I wanted to do was feel small and hurt. Anger helped me get through the pain, and now I'm so much better off without it. And now when I listen to these songs, I remember how strong I am. I even get angry sometimes listening to them, because I remember how hard it was.

Thankfully, I didn't need to seek vengence, as Karma had my back with that. But, that band pretty much saved my santiy, and I truly believe it helped me recover faster by having something to connect with.

"I did my best to please you,
But my best was never good enough....

I have failed you,
But, you failed me too"

She Wants Revenge - Out of Control: My power song. Anytime I'm not feeling pretty, or feeling down, or feeling troubled by something, this gives me a good 'girl power' kind of boost.

Annnnd.... Any Eiffel 65 song, haha.

ya, vedder is the man. pearl jam is my favorite band and should go down as one of the best in history. they have loads of songs that have meaning to me......

OMD! Just one of many but this song still makes me cry. "Better Days,.. you can't get to no better days unless you make it through the night. You gotta be Patient".
