Before Black were big, they were actually good (and a two-piece, originally). During this pre-'Wonderful Life' period they wrote a few great songs, one of which was the little near-weepy epic, 'Stephen', which is one of the bonus tracks on the 'More Than The Sun' and 'Hey Presto' EPs.

(edit: The title track, 'More Than The Sun' is itself an excellent piece of overwrought epic pop too.)

No songs make me cry but pretty much the entirety of The Blue Nile's Hats album brings about strong feelings of melancholy. Especially if driving, alone and at night.

'Sleeping Satellite' by Tasmin Archer (not a brilliant song, but something just clicks... probably me trying to hit the high notes at the end)

'Tomorrow Belongs to Me' gets me every time, as does 'Auferstanden aus Ruinen' which is the old DDR national anthem.

None of these are songs that are particularly sad (as in, make you sad, not just 'sad!'), but they are the type that get me.

'See You' by Depeche Mode does it for other reasons, and strangely, 'Cant Get You...' by Kylie does it occasionally, as I think of someone in the past.

Oh, and 'The Day Before You Came', but only the Blancmange version.

I love 'Sleeping Satellite'. It has a certain quality that I think can best be described as 'moving ordinariness'.

Jane Siberry's matchless 'The Vigil (The Sea)', her incandescently moving song about the death of her father, is the most tear-inducing record I've ever heard.

I much prefer 'Sweetest Smile' to the other hit, and I also love the fact that his name is Colin.

I got something in my eye this morning while listening to The Four Tops' 'Do What You Gotta Do' on the Metro.

In a moving demonstration of selfless sacrifice, he (she in some versions) is willing to let her leave (the 'do' of the title) because he loves her so very much.

Every line is a killer. Jimmy Webb, you see.

Though it may mean I'll never kiss
Those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind
Chase that dappled dream of yours
Come on back and see me when you can

Jesus, there I go again.
