for me it is Nightwish:

• While Your Lips Are Still Red
• Islander
• Amaranth

Caligula's Horse. I saw them live for the first time recently. I am left speechless, probably the closest thing to a religious experience I'll ever have.

Sigur Ros.

Tool

Citizen Soldier is a rock band that has a lot of songs about mental health issues. A lot of the songs have hit me hard and made me bawl because someone finally put how I've been feeling into words.

My favorite of theirs so far is Scarecrow and I highly recommend it.

"The chicken" by Bo Burnham. Don't be fooled by that title.

Patience, sung by Chris Cornell. Makes me want to cry that I'll never hear anything new from this incredible singer even again.

Also, Johnny Cash's cover of NIN's Hurt.

Streetlight Manifesto gives me goosebumps, especially With Any Sort of Certainty and The Littlest Things.

If You Wanna Start Again by The Trews makes me cry, especially watching the video, because it brings back bad feelings from a horrible breakup I had back in December.

Motion City Soundtrack - Everything is Alright

For current songs in the past month.

Mareux - Roses

Twin Tribes - Cauldron of Thorns

Portishead - SOS

This is a tough thread for me, am old dude who loves music but I don't recognize 3/4 of what others have posted. I'll have to check out some of it but it has been hard for me to find new bands I like. Songs Ohia is an example, but lots of them are too twangy, too folksy, or overuse auto tune.

Anyways, to the question:

• Cranberries - Zombie

• Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Poor song

• Simon and Garfunkel - The sound of silence

• NIN - Hurt

• Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats

• Dolly Parton - Jolene

• Annie Lennox - Don't let it bring you down

The tear-jerker songs? Brandi Carlile has a few, The Joke, and the opening track on the Highwomen album (that album has a few). And every single time, the Julie Miller track Rachel makes me cry, also Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris.

Feeling music deeply in general though? No you are not alone. It varies among people, most of us do some of the time, some of us do most of the time.

I always get goosebumps toward the end of Hurry, Hurry by Air Traffic Controller (Spotify link). I love the song and even though it's upbeat the message is poignant.

Aurora.

• The River
• Everything Matters
• The Seed

There is something in the music and the soft voice that always makes me cry. Beautiful song.

I don’t cry just when listening to music but when it appears in certain movie scenes it can happen. Like a few times in CODA (don’t click if you haven’t seen the movie) or when „What was I made for“ began in the Barbie movie.

Goosebumps:

• This Mortal Coil - Song to the Sirens
• Anne Clark & Murat Parlak - Be Drunk
• Samuel Barber - Adagio for strings
• Jean Sibelius - Violin Concerto in D minor - I. Allegro moderato
• Antonio Vivaldi - Four Seasons - Summer III. Presto
• and a few other classic songs

Also just in general

• Hania Rani
• Eva Cassidy
• Scala & Kolacny Brothers
• Dead Can Dance
• Rokia Traoré

As cheesy as it may seem, travelin soldier, by the chicks (when they were still the Dixie chicks) gets me every time.

Quite a few.. First that comes to mind is Skinshape - I didn't know. Also Tame Impala has a few, like Feels like we only go backwards

Not sure how far back we can go..

Steampowered Giraffe reminds me of a friend who died a couple years back because she really loved them.

Simon Phillips and Protocol V - The Long Road Home

Kae Tempest The Book of Traps and Lessons A fantastic album all the way through

There is so much music they moves us, so it's hard to pick one, especially for me. Because of that, I'll choose one that I haven't seen yet but deeply hits me hard: John Coltrrane's "A Love Supreme". It came at the peak of his career. The first three parts were supple, mysterious, joyful sparkles of light, like dragonflies and butterflies dashing and fluttering on a beautiful summer day. Pure smiles, floating heart stuff. Then the final act hits. It's a prayer of gratitude and reverence, a reflection of the magesty of existence. It gripped my head and heart, leaving me vulnerable and open, crying in awe.

I love this album with all my heart. And yes, it makes me weep in rapture every time I hear it.

Off the to of my head

Vance Gilbert - Unfamiliar Moon / Goodbye Pluto

Todd Snider - Long Year / Sunshine

A song called “Paper Wings and Halo” by Lori McKenna always makes me teary-eyed. I hadn’t heard it for years - just played it. Still works.

Also, “The Circle Game” by Joni Mitchell. Apparently, songs about years and life passing by are what really choke me up.

I don't think I've ever cried because of a song but I love pg.lost's album "oscillate"
