Okay, i know that i'm blazzing up this site with Music threads, but please give me this last thread and i'll lay off for a while on the new music threads, okay? Okay here it goes, i listen to multiple styles of music. I believe that no one genre is the "End-all-be-all" to music, i just have my moments. But lately i've been listening to some songs that have been sad. Now i'm far outweighing them with holiday songs, but sometimes i just listen to certain songs and i start to well up. Well these are some songs that have made me a little sad lately,
"Te Amo", by Rihanna,
"Blue Christmas", by Elvis Presly,
"Numb", by Linkin Park,
The song in se02ep01, of TSCC, the episode is called "Samson and Delilah"
For CRISISALL, the song at the end of AJBAC.
There are more, but i'm welling up thinking about these songs, plus it's almost time to get off line for the night, damn school.
"Mom, he has her chip. He has her."
John Connor,"Born To Run", TSCC EP 2x22

That enough?

Well, there are songs that make me cry, but since this forum is for Firefly-related threads, I'll limit my list to Firefly-related music:
1) The recurring theme in "Out of Gas"
2) The funeral music for Tracey in "The Message"

Wow, there are a few of mine in there.
Definitely Northern Sky, Romeo and Juliet, and Only Living Boy in New York
but I would pick "I Want You" rather than "Indoor Fireworks" and add "My Curse" by the Afghan Whigs and "Cry Me A River" by
Julie London.
Oh and "I Still Miss Someone" by Johnny Cash

"If Only I Could Change Your Mind" and "Don't Let It Show", Alan Parsons Project.
[edit: Eric Norman Woolfson (18 March 1945 – 2 December 2009). Rest in peace.]
"Guide Vocal" and "Please Don't Ask / Duke's Travels / Dukes End", Genesis.
All must be heard in context of their repective albums for maximum heart-pulverizing effect.
There are so many more...

This a great song with a sad story to go along with it but I'd say that Brothers In Arms has more emotional wallop IMO.
I can't really think of any songs that have made me cry but the ones that make me emotional in that way would be these:
Jewel - Pieces Of You
Evanescence - My Immortal (Album version)
Tori Amos - Me And A Gun
Counting Crows - Colorblind
REM - Everybody Hurts
Julee Cruise - Falling
Julee Cruise - The Nightingale
Gary Jules - Mad World
In film/TV music I would have to pick:
Terminator - Love Theme (the one that's just played on a piano)
Romeo + Juliet (DiCaprio version) - Love Theme (the instrumental version of Kissing You)
Twin Peaks - Laura Palmer's Theme
Platoon - Barber's Adagio For Strings
There are others but that'll do for now.

Saw her in concert once. Was a bit concerned that she was gonna get all political, and get all fussy w the audience.
She was amazing. Gave a great performance. And the opening act was very good too. A group of teen age girls, who called themselves The Screaming Orphans. ha ha... very good concert.
The T.Rex they call JANE!
