There are pretty much a hit when it comes to make me well up no matter my mood, which is odd because I'm not normally like that:
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah Biffy Clyro - Machines, Folding Stars Snow Patrol - Open your eyes Jimmy Eat World - Work Funeral for a Friend - History THS - Killer Parties (live), First Night, Lord, I'm Discouraged.
I'm bored so I came up with this.

coldplay - warning sign/fix you jeff buckley - lover, you should've come over johnny cash - hurt the cars - drive (if you don't know why then i'll post a video and you WILL CRY) the cure - to wish impossible things guillemots - redwings
and some more i can't think of. it does depend on a) where i am (e.g. uni or home) and b) my general mood/health.

the video is sad, right, but the song will always remind you of how sad and you'll never be able to listen to it again. or at least, that is what happened to me. i can't even face finding it...

is it the 'hurt' video? i can't listen to music at work anyway so it wouldn't affect me too much!
there are songs that have made me cry before, but i think i'd be pretty annoyed if i found one that was guaranteed to make me weep, because then i couldn't listen to it unless i actively wanted to cry. these songs are dead sad, though:
pinback - grey machine (seriously, if you've never heard this song before, do something about it Right Now) bonnie 'prince' billy - i see a darkness imogen heap - hide and seek malcolm middleton - cold winter motorpsycho - stalemate gregor samsa - that song from 27:36 that goes "you loved me more than i will ever know".
i'd go on, but i'm bringing myself down just thinking about it. really, though, you should listen to all of those songs, especially the pinback one.

The Flaming Lips - Waitin' For A Superman
Listened to it alot when my Dad was battling cancer, and the night before he died (far earlier than was expected), I went to see The Flaming Lips in Hammersmith, although they didnt actually play it this song that night.
Well up every time I hear it and the cover of The Kinks "Days" by Kirsty MacColl that was played at his funeral.

"Here you me" by Jimmy Eat World "Two Step" by the Dave Matthews Band, it was played at my mom's memorial service. "ambulance" by TV on the Radio, but those are happy tears

There are hundreds. I'm a notorious weeper. 'cause they're sad: + Diane Cluck, " Easy to Be Around" + The National, " Slow Show" ( you know I dreamed about you / for twenty-nine years / before I saw you / you know I dreamed about you / I missed you for / twenty-nine years) + The Mountain Goats, " Lion's Teeth" (can't listen to this song at all, actually), " Collapsing Stars," " Dilaudid," " Distant Stations" + I can't even think about Rilo Kiley/Jenny Lewis without crying, but " A Better Son/Daughter" makes me completely lose it every time + Arab Strap, " New Birds" + eels, " I'm Going To Stop Pretending That I Didn't Break Your Heart" + Kelly Clarkson, " Because of You" (no comment) + Cage, Hell's Winter (yes, the entire record) + everything Will Sheff has ever touched + almost every song on both mixes you made me, but " Silver and Gold" by Joe Strummer is probably the most affecting as it stands 'cause they're so damn uplifting: + Troubled Hubble, " 14,000 Things to Be Happy About" -- the lyrics, the lyrics, the lyrics, oh my god, the fucking lyrics + The Dismemberment Plan, " Back and Forth" -- it was never just another Saturday night, not with you in attendance+ David Bowie, " Oh! You Pretty Things" -- might have my favorite chorus of all time, just so epic and bursting and huge + Jump, Little Children, " The House Our Father Knew" -- ditto + Kelly Clarkson, " Miss Independent" -- ditto, and I absolutely fucking love this woman + Pop Will Eat Itself, " Karmadrome" + Nada Surf, " Blankest Year" + Wilco, " What Light" -- cannot find the words for how this song makes me feel

good choice, but the eels song that always hits me the hardest is 'fucker'..."trying to vent some of the terrible passion that's coursing through me. something about you, something about spending the afternoon asleep in your arms. i hate you, fucker." + The Dismemberment Plan, " Back and Forth" -- it was never just another Saturday night, not with you in attendancemy favourite dismemberment plan song! i can reel off the lyrics by heart.

. + The National, " Slow Show" ( you know I dreamed about you / for twenty-nine years / before I saw you / you know I dreamed about you / I missed you for / twenty-nine years) ironically this song may be one me and my girlfriend have our first dance to at our wedding as we met when we were both 29... hopefully nobody listens to the lyrics other than the last two verses and half of the chorus.

The Dubliners / De Dannan proper duet of Bob Dylan's "Spanish Boots of Leather" is an absolute crusher... worth an mp3 search if you know the song but not this version.

sway by bic runga would probably make a chick cry. This is a thread for sharing, nation87. It's ok to admit this song makes you cry I have an actual crying disease (well, not an actual one). For some reason I will well up (only well up, I mostly push the tears back down inside) at pretty much anything. No, literally anything. Obviously actual sad stuff, but I'll give you some examples to demonstrate why I think this problem is actually out of control: - I well up during tv ads - I once welled up when I flicked channels and came across an episode of one tree hill (which I don't watch), and a girl was singing. Tears. - I cried when Green Day won an mtv award - I cried during the sports personality of year award speech (again I had flicked onto it mid way and didn't even know what sport the dude played) Those are some memorably embarrassing ones, but pretty much anything someone says on tv, films, radio etc. that has any kind of mild emotion behind it will get me. So to conclude, I won't be listening to any of these songs

Nowadays I find myself crying in any film when there is a sad scene in it.
The Host made me cry once or twice. Little Miss Sunshine got me 3 times. I Am Sam got me 6 times.

The way Frank Black screams "then GOD IS SEVEN!" in "Monkey Gone to Heaven" makes my eyes well up with tears because it's so emotionally charged -- ditto the end of every live performance of "Mr. November" by The National.
Also, "Young Liars" by TV on the Radio. Seeing it performed by TVOTR as a trio on what I think was their first U.S. tour (opening for Firewater, 2003) made me feel like the top of my skull had been sawed off. In a good way.
PS: I love WALL-E!

And I LOVE KELLY CLARKSON!!!!
Thank you Stephanie. It feels so good to break my silence on that one.
As for weeping, oh, there are so many. A petite sampling:
+This Woman's Work by Kate Bush + Book of Love (Peter Gabriel's version) +Thank You Mario, But Our Princess is in Another Castle by John Darnielle and Kaki King +Chelsea Hotel #2 by Leonard Cohen +Pissin' in the River by Patti Smith + Hole in the Ground by Helium +Artificial Light by Rainer Maria
