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.

 

Badly Drawn Boy with "Silent Sigh".

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



And just like Jaguar I am touched by Nessun Dorma.

 

i have to agree with Human, "My Imortal" by Evanescence is touching
another good song is Crash Test Dummys "MMM MMM MMM" and a few other songs i cant rember the title to

 

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.

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...

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

 

Epiphany - by Staind

 

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.
