Not as in emo or scene songs, but songs that personally make you want to cry/laugh/ or invoke some strong emotional and personal response. you can tell the story behind them if you want.

mine are
Leaving on a jet plane
terence jay - one blood. just reminds me of my good friends and all the good times

let's hear em

not lame at all in my opinion. these seem like all good songs, but are there any for any of you that are really personal. EX. almost everyone gets sad listening to Tears in Heaven, but maybe there is someone who gets sad listening to jingle bells or something i dunno. i'm just curious.

and the song you're^ thinking of is last kiss by pearl jam

"One Tin Soldier" fo sho. I think Joan Baez sang it. And "Shura no Hana" (the flower of carnage) by Meiko Kaji is saddening especially if you understand the lyrics. Joni Mitchell also wrote many sad or bittersweet songs. 60s folk/pop/rock singers and bands are definitely not guilty music, at least not for me!

A lot of the heavier hardcore and death metal can evoke anger and pity, more so if you understand the lyrics.
many songs by Folsom, Go It Alone, Hatebreed, and Fight like hell are good angry songs
Amon Amarth's The Avenger and Children of Bodom's stuff
Hypocrisy's "A Thousand Lies" has a lot of meaning for me... but most people wouldn't find it particularly emotional

I'm weird with music. Theres certain songs that remind me of certain moments in my life. Like the shins remind me of the first serious girlfriend I had. Other songs usually remind me of bad breakups or good sex with a chick.

if anyone's ever seen the series finale of six feet under, the song that plays while claire is driving and it shows everyone's deaths, its called 'breathe me' by sia. such a good song, perfect way to end the show

samson by regina spektor gets me, probably because i happened to be listening to it when i heard that someone died.
david gray songs
heartbeats, the jose gonsalez version

there are so many

A heart in New York - simon and garfunkel

i was listening to this song on my ipod walking around NYC and central park on a beautiful day. this trip was especially memorable since i sang one of the most emotional pieces of choral music at carnegie hall with two other choirs, and we were the top three choirs in the nation at that point. plus i met my first serious girlfriend on a boat in NYC on that trip looking at the statue of liberty. this was also spring of my senior year in hs. so ya basically this song brings me back to what i would consider the highpoint of my life thus far. now i live 2000 miles away from all those people and memories i have with them in the name of skiing!
