You should have shot them with a cannon, it'd have been ironic.

Two songs I've wanted to cry because of are Moonlight Sonata and Videotape by Thom Yorke/Radiohead/Whoever.

I often cry because of songs, but I've also noticed some songs can actually give me a rare glimpse of feelings of love or empathy that I somehow don't get from interacting with people. Also some songs can be very comforting to me, like when a mother sings her child a lullaby.

Lots of songs make me cry, or 'help' me to cry. I often use music to kind of... understand my own emotions? If I'm feeling a certain way I'll have a song in my head. So if I feel like I could do with venting some emotion I listen to music that I know will provoke the emotion I think I need to vent.

'Hurt' (the Johnny Cash cover) is one of the ones that springs to mine, 'We Fly So Close' by Phil Collins.. anything that I can relate to lyricswise or that has beautiful music - 'The Modest Blue Shawl' (ironically by Dr. Asperger's Klezmer Tonic) evokes strong emotions in me, but I don't even know where to begin to describe them.

Which song? 'I Will Remember' made me cry when I was listening to it in relation to an event.

The song by Toto, I think, is "You Know I won't hold you back now," if I've got the title correct. I heard it in the store the other day and I thought I would have to leave, or else cry in front of everyone there!

I don't think that is weird. More like a gift.

It's the same for me. I get stories, or pictures, feelings, scenes, memories... It's brilliant.

There are tons of songs that make me cry. Jail by Down, Detroit by Mondo Generator, Lotus Feet by Steve Vai, Sworn and Broken by Screaming Trees, Darkness by Disturbed, Bridge to Cross and In This River by Black Label Society, Phototropic by Kyuss, Rylynn by Andy McKee, and Out There by Dinosaur Jr. are notable examples.
