Something I heard on the radio last week, about a little boy wanting to buy Christmas shoes for his dying mother.

Taps, is what I think it's called--the one they play at military funerals. :e2cry:

How about a tribute appropriately titled Crying?

This is KD Lang's dedication to Roy Orbison. She gets three huge ovations during this song

Luka - Suzanne Vega.

The album version was a bit over-produced for my taste, but this live version is so serious and sad. "They only hit until you cry, and after that you don't ask why..." Pass the damn tissues, please.

Fast Car -- Tracy Chapman

There's something about the raw, rather hopeless optimism of it that just grabs my guts.

ETA: And this one, too. I Can't Make You Love Me -- Bonnie Raitt

One More Day for the song that was being played when my first cat died.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xiSuw-lA3E (the sound quality is okay on this video, but I don't think of CSI)

I had it carved into her little grave marker. She'll never be forgotten by me.

And for a particularly hard breakup, Always on My Mind by Willie Nelson (even though I'm not a big fan of his):
