I got this link from the 'gently caress yes moments in music' thread.

Sigur Ros - Ara Batur

I am a huge music freak and dedicate pretty much all my spare time to discovering, writing and listening to music. While several songs move me immensely, never has a song made me openly weep, until I heard this. Several hours after listening to it I still feel frail. I can't even think of it without tearing up. I have never had an experience like this before. I feel like it was worth living just to hear this.

Edit: I meant to link the one where you can see them record it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VvB_UmmIzk

Holy poo poo. Thanks for this. I went in all full of bravado like "yeah I'm sure it's nice and all", around the six minute mark I just had to stop doing anything and close my eyes and try not to cry. I failed about a minute later. Genuinely amazing.

Recently I've discovered that I can't listen to The Luckiest by Ben Folds without having a little breakdown.

You'd think I'd stop listening to it, but... nope. Just gotta make sure I only do so in private.

All three LOTR films make me bawl like a baby. I've seen all of them 10+ times and every. single. time. I'm a wreck. It's getting ridiculous at this point...

Also, Watership Down. I cannot handle that ending. Just everything about it triggers my cry switch.

The one non-documentary film that gets me without fail even if I think or talk about it is The Iron Giant. I swear to god it's the saddest film in the world. I had to specify non-documentary because of loving Dear Zachary, that was two hours of unrelenting misery and to this day I can't explain it to anyone without losing it. That's the reason why everyone says "I won't tell you, just watch it, avoid spoilers". Because no one can talk about it without crying. :smith:

e: I cry at almost every film though. Especially animated ones. Monsters Inc. Despicable Me. Land Before Time. All the Toy Story films. Everything. It's why I've never dared to watch Up.

Just watched Bridge to Terabithia for the second time. Yeah, that was twenty minutes of straight-up bawling. I think I'm going to die. Why do I do this to myself? :smith:

Probably don't watch this if you love your grandfather.

Granpa is a 25-minute long cartoon I used to watch all the time as a little kid. Somehow I don't remember it making me all that sad, but these days I'm a weeping mess if I dare to watch it. It's worse because Granpa looks like my grandpa and my name is Emily too :qq:

Boxer Hockey is a good and funny webcomic, but the series of flashback comics starting here from a few years ago always makes me tear up.

It's worth reading the whole little story, you don't need to know the characters or anything. It's about fifteen short pages.
