Now, I'm actually not a Miley Cyrus fan, but I cannot resist her one song 'Bottom of the Ocean'. When it gets to 'This is it - let go.' I always start crying. D:

"A little fall of rain" from the musical Les Miserables. Holy cow, it's sad. If you listen to it, even not knowing the plot, I would guess that you will cry like a baby. It's pitiful.

-Don't even know the title of this one song (er... "She's A Lady," maybe? odd title, if so...), but it always makes me cry because it reminds me of fifth grade... We played it at a sleepover and I was sobbing for a good hour or so.
-Random song I heard on the radio... I think it was something like 'Carry On'... very tear-wrenching. Very pretty, though.
-The finale of LM; I know it's s'posed to be happy, but how am I going to be happy when *clearly* Ursula did not get what she wanted?
-"Through the Years." Some country song. Kinda sad, in a happy way...
-Any song having to do with believing/pulling through/union.... don't ask me why...
-I'm not a big MC/HM fan either, but "The Climb" makes me rather teary. I like the lyrics, too.
-Certain songs from Nightmare Before Christmas, which has great music.
And the list goes on and on. As you see, music can make me very emotional.

Plus of course with the LM finale, you're still getting over seeing Ursula shrieking and sinking into the depths of the earth (I think that's what happened anyway, there's a lot of smoke and whatnot) after Ariel breaks the shell, so it's difficult not to feel sad...
But then she comes out for the bows and gets more/louder cheers than Ariel does, so it's all fair in the end I suppose. *wanders away humming Souls*

I don't think I've ever actually cried when I heard a certain song, but some songs do make me sad or bring back memories when I hear them. I could probably name alot of them like that, but I'll just put a few. The song "Island in the Sun" has a weird meaning to me, because I heard it a lot the summer after my doggy died.
*sniffsniff*
So when I hear that song, a sad, weird mix of emotions comes back to me. It's strange... Another one, "One of These Nights," makes me sad, too. It makes me sort of think of death and old memories. Also, the song "Already Gone" by Kelly Clarkson makes me sad. I don't know why. It probably just has to do with what's on your mind when you hear the song and then it kind of sticks. That's the way it is for me anyway... :\

"Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman (a Christian artist I don't normally like a ton) is the only one that comes to mind right now. I don't know why, but it's just one of those songs that you can really feel, you know? If you don't know it and have Google acces, I suggest looking up the lyrics to see what I mean. Or on YouTube where you can get the music too. One time it played (on the radio) when I and some of my friends were in the car. We all just kind of looked at each other weirdly and then were really quiet while it played. It was strange but cool.

I love that song! -sniff-
Yeah, I agree, it's more with like the memories you have assosiated witht that song. 'Already Gone' is a friend's and my song, and it makes me sad.

I really did not explain what I meant about that song well at all. :/
And Megan, I know what you mean. I just can't think of any songs like that for me off the top of my head right now.

Zero songs have ever made me cry, but celtic music does make my quite wistful. And of course, I do have a lot of Celtic music on my shuffle. No singing, but lots of wave sounds and bagpipes and rolling hills...if you know what I mean. One song that brings back tons of memories to me is "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt. It's a pretty blah song, but when my family took our vacation in Belgium, the only things that would come in our hostel TV was french MTV and the music video channel. That video played all the time, along with "Hips Don't Lie" by Shakira, and some gross Myriah Carrey song. But anyway, that made me like James Blunt and that song, and all of his other song. But I do really like the lyrics in "Tears in the Rain." I think it's about when he was a british soldier.

Sometimes, when I'm trying to write a sad story, I listen to a sad song and it makes me sad so I write sad... interesting, isn't it?

Ooh. "Just Stand Up" by a lot of famous artists. It's a song about surviving, making it through, staying strong through breast cancer. It makes me cry. I bought it a couple days before my grandma died of cancer, so it reminds me of her. *tears* Sorry, always makes me cry.

Well, let's see...
If Only (Quartet) from The Little Mermaid, when Sierra Boggess sings "...but time keeps racing forward and our moment's almost passed...". It sends shivers down my spine and has made me tear up a couple of times.
Not While I'm Around from Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd. Right after the key change-- "Demons'll charm you with a smile/For a while/But in time.../Nothing's gonna harm you.../Not while I'm around..."-- Just Edward Sanders' beautiful voice, HBC's face, the implications to the plot in general... [sob]
I Know the Truth from Aida. SRS gets this vibrato thing going at the end and the lyrics themselves are so hopeless and in context with the plot Amneris' life is basically crashing down around her ears and... yeah. Even more so last time I saw the play, the actress was actually crying as she sang...
Everything You Ever from Dr. Horrible. My goodness. The awful lyrical dissonance and irony-- "Here lies everything.../The world I wanted at my feet.../My victory's complete.../So hail to the king...//So your world's benign.../So you think justice has a voice.../And we all have a choice.../Well now your world is mine.../And I am fine..." Argh.
Without You, Halloween, and Goodbye Love from Rent. Especially in the movie, during Without You when there's the montage of Angel slowly dying and Mimi detoxing...
For Good from Wicked. The emotions the actors portray during that scene, I cried for a good hour afterwards the first time I saw the play. *shakes head* And of course the lyrics in general-- "It well may be/That we will never meet again in this lifetime/But let me say before we part/So much of me is made of what I learned from you/You'll be with me like a handprint on my heart/So now whatever way our stories end/I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend..."

I don't cry for songs. But one song did make me tear up, for some strange, personal, illogical reason: Carrie Underwood's Just A Dream. It wouldn't do the same thing for me now, probably, but at the time I first heard it, things were different.
It looks like I need to look into this Little Mermaid thing...

I don't generally cry at songs, but there are a few pretty sad ones. For instance, "Molly Bonne" by Allison Krause, and "The Highwayman" by Loreena Mckennett.

@ Falmiriel: Oh, you should. You really should. :)
And all the songs I now associate with Grammy's death--- Professional Jealousy by Van Morrison, and his remix of Just A Closer Walk With Thee. Elvis' Just A Dream. And the church hymn How Great Thou Art.

Wait--Cinderella hasn't actually made me cry, just feel that way. Sorry, that was unclear! And I haven't during movies, either, but I did come pretty close during one part of The Bridge to Terabithia.
