Bright eyes,
Burning like fire.
Bright eyes,
How can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes.

This is Eugene McDaniels - The Parasite

Eugene was a bit of a Black Bob Dylan...the song is about the Genocide of the American Indians by Western Settlers

It's quite upsetting and one of the only records that reduces me to tears every time I listen to it.

The Vice President of America actually intervened when this was originally released and actually demanded that McDaniels got thrown off the label which he duly was.

It's off the Album 'Headless Horsemen of the Apocolypse' Which is a great Album in its own right

Seriously though, one song that does bring a tear to my eye is "Wish You Were Here". I'm not the biggest Pink Floyd fan but it was one of my dad's favourite songs so always makes me teary when I hear it.

I concur...thats sad as fook

New Order - In a lonely place.

It's like a funeral march, and was, i believe, the b-side to Ceremony, the first single by New Order. So, shades of Ian Curtis hung heavily over this. It's definitely not one to get em going at the school disco though.

Hunted by a Freak - Mogwai

Meat is hung, men are hanged.

That's one of those things from school that will never leave me, like LM's Salad Sandwiches thing.

I watched him in a tent at glasto in '99 or thereabouts a,d i was welling up when he played it. It may have been the drugs.

"Great Expectations" by Elbow is a beautiful song - I think that would be mine.
