I gotta admit that my eyes well up a little when I hear "Arlington" by Trace Atkins. That's where my Dad was buried as a war hero with full military honors.
I miss my Dad.

Yep, Taps, Amazing Grace, our National Anthem and most anything done on bagpipes brings out the goose bumps and alligator tears.

Samuel Barber. it's taken from one of his symphonies, the entire thing is amazing.
When the Adagio it's sung it's an "Alleluia" and will REALLY get you then.
And those who said "Mansions of the Lord" I had the choir do that on Memorial Day and it had the house in tears.
While I am not a man..."When David Heard" by Eric Whitacre will move me to tears as well as much of Arvo Part's music, in particular "De Profundis"
Parts of Paul Maurice's Tableux de Provence for alto saxophone. There is other saxophone music that makes me cry, but from pain inflicted trying to play it.

Amazing Grace on bagpipes.
Richard Wagner's Parsifal-Good Friday Music
Richard Wagner's Liebestod from Tristan & Isolde
Mary Fahl's Going Home. Try to listen to that without tearing up, I dare you.

Any "Disco" song. And if it features the likes of George Michel I might actually get physically ill...sorry.

Although I have a high tolerance for pain, the searing pain in my ears from rap makes me cry. I can't help it. Strictly speaking, rap is not music. It is just extremely annoying noise marketed to people with too few functioning brain cells.

My sons playing Iron Maiden on my stereo while they were visiting a friend 1/4 mile down the road. Speakers blasting. I still well up just thinking about it.

I can't remember actually breaking down and crying over a song however I admit to a tightening of the throat during a couple.
The one that sticks in my mine was the hymn "Coming Home" when the Navy band performed it at Reagan's funeral.
Another one was the main theme from Ken Burn's "The Civil War" series.
Andre Bocelli and Sarah Brightman do a duet called "Con Te Partiro" (Time to say goodbye) that is beautiful.
The opening and closing music from "The Band of Brothers" always moved me after watching the episode.
The sound track from "The Last of the Mohigans", the opening theme.
Rod Stewart's "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?" because it reminds me of my wife.
I'm sure there are others.

There is a hymn that most have never heard of, "He the Pearly Gates Will Open". It is an old Swedish song; when I hear it in English, I tear up, when I hear it in Swedish I am apt to bawl like a baby. It has been sung at many funerals of friends and relatives. My daughter often sings it at funerals and rest homes.

Randy,
May I say first, Thank You for your Service to Our Country.
I too believe,
It is our duty to honor the brave and unsung that has
passed before...To shed a tear in their honor, in respect of
their deeds and sacrifice, it is in our hearts and soul to do this
and not in the words of a song, but our oath and debt to all of our brothers in arms.
Always at Your Service,
Dave

Taps at a funeral may do it. Nothing else.

When my uncle passed away back in March I went to his funeral which was in a small cemetery up north, and the way the layout was you had to drive down a long hill which led out to a big field. My uncle, who was in the Army during WWII was buried in this field by himself at the edge. When taps was played, you never saw where it was coming from because he was back up on that hill. The sound of taps echoing across that whole field surrounded by the woods and that empty field covered by snow was something that I will never forget. The sound carried on forever it seemed. Well across the other edge of the field was the honor guard and their rifles. It was serene. No one could have asked for a better service and a better tribute.
