Not sure how to word this, but, I'm looking for a song, when the singer sings it, you feel a great deal of emotion (mainly, sadness and/or a release)

Listen to “Great Gig in the Sky” by Floyd. Tons of emotion in this song, but, at 2:45, to me, it’s like a huge release (letting out the pain).
Yes, I know that I sound crazy.

Sick Cycle Carousel, Lifehouse. And it’s not crazy. I know the feeling.
Hurt by Johnny Cash. You can feel the age and wisdom in his voice. And no, that’s not only you, I it happens often to me and a lot of people around me. Not crazy at all.
Also, Hengilás by Jónsi.
Jeff Buckley’s Grace, maybe?
Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah
and Bruce Springsteen’s Streets of Philadelphia
Oh – and Coldplay’s Fix You
Sinead O’Connor – Nothing Compares 2 U
it gets me every time I hear it
@jonsblond A surefire tearjerker.The fact that she’s crying in the video adds to the emotion.Apparently it really got to her,the lyrics that is.Good song brilliantly portrayed.Not that I personally cry at songs you understand…ahem..macho voice, silly nonsense ;¬}
Antony and the Johnsons – Atrocities
A pretty depressing song, but the singer’s voice is absolutely amazing.
This one of Sinead’s does it for me, as well.
Oh, and Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel (at 3:21).
Here’s another by Kate Bush- This Woman’s Work
YouTube isn’t working for me for some reason….I think I might cry :’(
I’ve always enjoyed the song Linger by The Cranberries.
Wild is the wind by David Bowie does that for me. And just about every U2 song is just the opposite. Bono never lets me come.
Viva Ultra by Bonnie Prince Billy
Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World by Israel K. (the Hawaiian guy).
Most of Edith Piaf’s repertoire.
Stars Go Blue ~Ryan Adams.
Anything by Breaking Benjamin, Fleetwood Mac, Deadboy & The Elephantmen, Bullet For My Valentine, Dream Theater, Coldplay, UVERworld, Utada Hikaru, Eyes Of Fire, Floater, Within Temptation, After Forever, & Amaran.
I like a lot of different music!
I can’t remember the title but the song about a little boy asking for pretty shoes for his mama who is suppose to meet Jesus tonight. Sorry, its late and I’m drawing a blank on the title. Maybe tomorrow I’ll remember.
@Pandora It’s “Christmas Shoes”, and it always makes me bawl.
