    [​IMG] Well, to go all classical, the last part of Nessun Dorma when sung by the Three Tenors turns on the water works for me every time.

    I've found Dido's "White Flag" quite touching of late.

    There's also the background music when the Schindler Jews pay their respects at Schindler's grave in the movie.

    Badly Drawn Boy with "Silent Sigh".

    The first time I saw the video and heard that song I was shaken, to say the least.

    :cry:

    And just like Jaguar I am touched by Nessun Dorma.

    Barathrum's "Melancholy, Infinity, Agony".

    "My Soul Is Freezing...
    I Fear To See Another Day...
    Another Day That Is Filled With This Emptiness...

    Just In Darkness I Can Take My Breath...
    Oh, And I Think That Even Darkness Is Gone...
    Hell In My Soul With Hundreds Of Torturing Demons...
    All My Hope Seems To Be Like Sand...
    Never Well Kept In My Shivering Hands...
    Never Stop Running Running Down From My Fingers...
    Alone In The Dark I Just Howl For The Moon...

    Bleeding Heart Inside Me...
    Light Of Sanity Is Gone...
    I Think That I Am Lost...
    No-One Close That Could Be With Me...
    No-One Close That Could Be Just Mine...
    I Used To Have One Of Nocturnul Beauty...
    Killer Of Pain, The One That Kissed...
    Kissed In The Way That I Could Kill For...
    Anything, Anyone, Except The One...

    Misery, Agony, Dark Pain Is Ripping My Soul
    Desperation, Depression, All Light Is Gone
    Torment, Death, Reaper's Blade Is Close
    Sadness, Darkness, You Fill My Soul With Those

    Cliff Is Close, Sinister Feeling
    The Overdose Of Darkness Creeping
    For All Those Demons Who Tear
    My Own Soul Which Is Filled With Fear

    I Welter In Pain, Come, Hold Me Tight
    I Wish The Gain From Touch Of The Night
    The One That I Care I'd Like To Return
    Once More To Share The Warmth Of
    The Flames That Burn

    The Darkness Is Tearing And Ripping Inside
    The Light Of Sanity Is Leaving My Mind
    I Think That I Will Go Insane
    I Run In Night Can't Stay In Light Of Day

    Is This My Final Destiny
    To Cross The River Of Death
    Through The Bridge That Mortal Walks Just Over
    Just Once, Just Once... No More... "

    Just the lyrics won't do it justice though. It must be listened to.

    I get very touched when I hear Nothing Else Matters with Metallica and Mad World with Gary Jules. Every time I hear the songs Sailing and Tears in heaven I want to cry, because they played those songs on my cousins funeral.

    Some other touching songs.
    o Nickelback - How You Remind Me
    o Nightwish - Away, Sleeping Sun, Angels fall First, Dead Boy's Poem
    o Megadeth - A Tout Le Monde
    o Lynyrd Skynryd - Tomorrow's goodbye
    o Imperiet - Märk Hur Vår Skugga
    o HIM - Gone With The Sin
    o Ebba Grön - Die Mauer, Mental Istid
    o Baba Blues - Därunder finns ett rum
    o Evert Taube - balladen om briggen Blue Bird

    Die Mauer
    Halt! Här får ingen passera,
    här kommer ingen förbi.
    Du kommer aldrig över nåt mera
    så gå är du snäll om ditt liv är kärt.
    Över taggtråden såg jag min livskamrat.
    Susanne stå och gestikulera.
    Jag har gått här i tjugo år snart
    men med en K-pist är det svårt att diskutera.
    Jag gick långsamt hemåt, hemåt den kvällen.
    Skulle jag få se henne igen?
    Hjärnan värkte, hjärtat värkte.
    Skulle jag bli hel igen?
    En dag så stod, så stod den bara där,
    en mur mellan mej och den jag hade kär.
    Vi bor två kvarter ifrån varann
    men en grå prick är det enda jag ser av Susanne.
    Vi skulle få leva här, vi skulle få leva här,
    vi skulle få leva här, vi skulle få leva här.
    Alla vackra rosor är våta
    av blodet från ert heliga korståg.
    Jag ska aldrig förlåta
    det som hände vid muren.
    Jag har tänkt jävligt mycket, mycket på att fly.
    Jag vill se hennes kropp,
    jag vill smeka hennes hy,
    höra hennes stämma,
    vara henne nära.
    Jag ska viska i hennes öra.
    Vi skulle få leva här...
    Ja jag vet, jag vet precis hur,
    jag flyger över eran mur.
    Å jag vet, å jag vet,
    jag vet precis hur.
    "I´ll be the acid spy".
    Jag gör vad jag vill.
    Jag vet precis hur...
    Vi skulle få leva här...

    Someone already mentioned this song but I had to add the lyrics. One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

    My Immortal, Evanescence

    I'm so tired of being here
    Suppressed by all my childish fears
    And if you have to leave
    I wish that you would just leave
    'Cause your presence still lingers here
    And it won't leave me alone

    These wounds won't seem to heal
    This pain is just too real
    There's just too much that time cannot erase

    [CHORUS:]
    When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
    When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
    I held your hand through all of these years
    But you still have

    All of me

    You used to captivate me
    By your resonating light
    Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
    Your face it haunts
    My once pleasant dreams
    Your voice it chased away
    All the sanity in me

    These wounds won't seem to heal
    This pain is just too real
    There's just too much that time cannot erase

    [Chorus]

    I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
    And though your still with me
    I've been alone all along

    There are just so many... but this is my favorite one from the most "touching" CD I think I own, Black Eyed Man by the Cowboy Junkies. I can never hear the whole thing without bawling.

    Southern Rain

    The flies have quit their buzzing
    Even Bear has stopped his barking
    They all sense something brewing
    up the James and headed this way

    Bobby sips his morning coffee
    Says, have you finished with the funnies.
    Looks like a storm is coming honey
    Guess we'll have to stay in bed today

    I've heard that into every life
    a little of it must fall
    If there's any truth to the saying
    Lord, let it be a southern rain.

    Marie was born in Macon, Georgia
    She met a west coast lawyer
    He plucked that sweet magnolia
    and carried her to the hills of West L.A.

    She says, I never thought I'd tire of the valley
    But this life has grown so hollow
    Every night there's lipstick on his collar
    And every morning I wash it away.

    She heard that into every life
    A little of it must fall
    So she spends her evenings praying
    For a little of that southern rain.

    Cars alive on city streets
    of sparkling black water
    like waves beneath my window -
    never break just roll away.
    Tonight, this rain will be my lullabye:
    these cars, my dreams
    to carry me home to stay.

    The wipers beat a rhythm.
    Truck spray obscures my vision.
    But I'm closing in on my destination.
    Two more hours and I'll be at your door.

    And it will never cease to amaze me
    how a little rain can drive folks crazy.
    When I'd trade all my clear skies gladly
    for your blue eyes, crooked smile
    and a steady downpour.

    I've heard that into every life
    a little of it must fall,
    but you'll never catch me complaining
    about too much of that southern rain.

    Anything by Pink Floyd touches me, especially "Shine On You Crazy Diamond".

    Ok, I may be teased for this one, bur songs that usually touches me come from Diney movies.
    When Phil Collins sings Two Worlds in the beginning of Tarzan for example...

    Otherwise, like I read somewhere in here, the end of Braveheart(when he screams Freedom while being gutted at best) sends me weeping... :sosad:

    Oh, and Gangstas paradise by Coolio is nice to...

    Maybe it's my Swedish blood, Vyndin Source, but I too get a weird thrill out of listening to Gangsta's Paradise and Two Worlds.

    Another touching song is David Wilcox's "Language of the Heart":

    We made our warm bed out of blankets
    in the meadow way up high.
    You took off your dress in the moonlight
    to sleep beneath the sky.
    Your touch was a warm summer's ocean -
    your kiss made the whole mountain fly.
    And you looked deep within me, and smiled
    at the tears in my eyes...

    Now you can say that you always were honest,
    and your words were clear from the start -
    but it's more than just words that were spoken.
    There was language of the heart.

    I won't keep on calling your number
    if you never have the time.
    I don't want to claim you, or blame you,
    but you're always on my mind.
    You had no idea I would love you -
    it comes as a total surprise.
    And you look deep within me, and smile
    at the tears in my eyes...

    Now you can say that you always were honest,
    and your words were clear from the start -
    but it's more than just words that were spoken.
    There was language of the heart.

    Your eyes like the ocean, clear sunlit green...
    my eyes wet with saltwater, washing me clean
    again.

    Just imagine you whispered a secret
    that could take away my loneliness.
    And you let me believe it, to please me,
    though it just wasn't true.
    You just meant to share with me pleasure,
    and you're gifted at what you do.
    But you're speaking an unspoken language -
    I thought that you knew...
    It's one that we all learn by heart,
    and our hearts think it's true.

    Now you can say that you always were honest,
    and your words were clear from the start -
    but it's more than just words that were spoken.
    There was language of the heart.
