Is there are a song, songs -
that have the effect of bringing tears to your eyes, or otherwise simply manages to touch you emotionally, deeply so - whether of it is the songs own beauty, or simply a memory that that song awakens in your mind? |

That would be a couple of Simon and Garfunkel songs. Some are so beautifull...
And there's one song, which isn't all that good in itself, but which reminds me of a girl I knew. That can be pretty powerfull.

Pearl Jam's Black.
Nightwish's Angels Fall First Oh, and almost forgot.. Even though it's not a real song, it's a spoken poem with a piano melody under it: AFI's [Untitled] |

Too many. "Rocket Man" by Elton John and "Might as well be on Mars" by Alice Cooper almost always get me. Just like oh-so-many stuff by Genesis, Rush, The Police, Queen...
But it generally depends on my overall-mood really. And if there's mermories involved... My special recomendation: Tom Waits. Try "Tom Taubert's blues", "Somewhere" (yes, from "Westside Story") or "In the Neighbourhood" (just a few of many)... if THOSE don't move you, you're dead... |

Actually "Memory" from the musical "Cats" by Andrew Lloyd Webber/Tim Rice(I guess) can be pretty touching. That, and "Epitaph" by King Crimson.
And pretty much every song by Fabrizio de Andr?. |

"Days of Pearley Spencer" by Marc Almond (although I think it's a cover), "Sometimes" by James and most of all, "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak (an instrumental version of which is on the Blue Velvet soundtrack).
