When is the last time a song made you cry? Or which song has prompted the greatest emotional response from you?
I just listened to "Fake Empire" by the National, and for whatever reason, with where I am right now, it had a huge emotional impact on me... I'm still kind of teary. It just seemed beautiful, to run away from your problems into some pretend, magical reality. Just beautiful. And the music is perfect. I can't remember the last time a song made me feel so much... _________________ My top songs of the 2010s

I cried when Pharoahe Monch played 'Push' at Outlook festival last year. Having said that, I was on acid and this pinata thing someone was holding up in the crowd (that was almost certainly God) was telling me to cry in order to cleanse myself.
EDIT: This is an exagerrated version of a true story. I don't think a song has ever made me cry.

I don't know what he's singing about but it's so damn beautiful. It was the first time I was listening to the album and it came on and I started weeping manly tears. Something just so powerful about the melody and his singing.

doesn't happen frequently for me.
last time i remember, i was spending hard times and i was listening to fever ray and it came to the song "concrete walls". it just felt so true for me when he said "I live between concrete walls...".
back around 2001 in the days of mp3-cd-r players, i created a 333 song "beauty in darkness" compilation mostly comprised of songs that i could easily connect with when depressed, the majority of which produced a teary response.
recent songs i'd add to that mix:
Code:
the national "afraid of everyone"
middle brother "thanks for nothing"
mountain goats "never quite free"
I once heard The National, as opposed to emo music for angsty-teens, is more "man-angst". They're brilliant at capturing a kind of loneliness and deeper-thought without sounding nearly wussy or pretentious.
