"And So It Goes" by Jennifer Warnes - http://www.last.fm/music/Jennifer+Warne ... So+It+Goes
(written by Billy Joel.)

Sad & a bit hopeful at the same time - about completely opening yourself to a potential love - even though you know they are free to reject you.

"Away" by Hannah Fury, and the version of "Mad World" that was in Donnie Darko.
"Away" always used to make me cry...

Nothing like Funeral Doom Metal for melancholy music.
Look up Abyssmal Sorrow, Forest of Shadows, Intaglio, or Skepticism.

Crying ~ Roy Orbison
Walking After Midnight ~ Patsy Cline (anything by her..really)
Cold, Cold Heart ~ Hank Williams Sr.
Between The Bars ~ Elliot Smith
Bird On The Wire ~ Leonard Cohen
Hurt ~ Nine Inch Nails
Georgia Lee ~ Tom Waits

patsy singing "always" always puts a tear in my beer. speaking of tears in beers, hank williams sr. singing "i'm so lonesome i could cry" puts several tears in the beer.

I"m not a big industrial music fan, but I do like some NIN - not all of it. I find that Reznor can be hit or miss a lot. But, "Hurt" is a brilliant song. Johnny Cash's version is excellent too. NIN doing "Hurt" is nihilistic; viscerally and angrily painful, while Cash's is more sorrowful and lamenting.

For some reason, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" makes me want to cry.
