Reply #107: Usually songs on their own aren't enough

with the possible exception of Schostakovic's 8th string quartet.

Most songs that get me misty-eyed do so because of a connection to some other form of media that had a storyline to it. I.E., after the Simpsons episode where Bleeding Gums Murphy died, I'd get misty-eyed every time I heard the song Jazz Man. Or when I hear Pippin's song from Lord of the Rings.
