I agree with the songs you have listed that I have heard of. One song that actually did bring me to tears was "Thief" by Our Lady Peace. Though the song on its own is quite sad it was partially also because of the video and a recent event that happened to a favourite teacher of mine.

I looooove Eva. A lot of her songs make me tear up, actually. Her voice is just beautiful. When I used to dance we used "People Get Ready" in the show. So good.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

William Elliott Whitmore- "Porchlight"

its a song he wrote after his father passed from an illness, and its the lyrics are written as if his dad was singing the song, and its about how he worked so much, to provide for his wife...but let that get inbetween them...and how he wishes he could have spent more time with his wife before he died...sad stuff.. esp. the line:

"if i didnt have these IVs in my wrist, I hold you here in my arms"
