Fast Car by Tracy Chapman is awesome.

One song that always gets me is The Background by Third Eye Blind. Me and my ex dated for over 2.5 years and it was a really passionate, but really messy relationship. This song would always make me cry like a pussy.

I think its about someone passing or something (not really sure to be honest)... but a few lines always got me crying for months after we were done.

"The plans I made still have you in them"
"and im hangin on your words like I always used to do
"I felt you long after we were through:

This song just really spoke to me at the time, it felt like a lot of what I was going through. **** now I'm probably gonna start crying again lol

For the longest time I thought "Yesterday" by the Beatles was the saddest song I'd ever heard. Now I'm not so sure. Maybe it just lost it's effect. It used to make me cry every time. Maybe it's just the situation I'm in. Anyways.

U2 - With or Without you

Saw a video years ago where a man hugs this girl for a long time in an elevator lobby. Looks like maybe a break up or a goodbye of sorts. Then the dude gets on the elevator and he shoots himself. This song was playing in that video and that always stuck with me.
