Also, Springsteen's Secret Garden - it just pricks at my tear glands. It's the only song of his I can't find on iTunes, though.
And as cliché as it may be, I'll have to say U2's With or Without You, especially the live version from Rattle and Hum where you get that extra interlude "We'll shine like stars in the summer night / we'll shine like stars in the winter / one heart / one hope / one love"
Let's see... what else?
Savage Garden - Crash and Burn Annie Lennox - Into the West U2 - Love is Blindness Khaled - Aïcha Cheb Mami - Ana Oualache Shakira - Pienso en Ti (totally acapella - very haunting) ...and just because it's one of those songs that tugs at some very old heartstrings - the steel guitar introduction to On the Verge by Collin Raye can bring me to tears.

The song that always makes me cry is the slow version of DJ Slammy's Heaven. The techno version was the first song Bernard and I danced to (at PC).
3 Doors Down's Here Without You and the ending credits song(s) for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon make me swoon, too.
The one that gets me every time, though, is Enya's Miss Claire Remembers. That piano part is just so haunting.

I heard a nice Rollling-Stones tune today that I don't think I've ever heard (don't own any). It was pretty good. That faux-american country twang as only the stones can (or coulda) pulled off.

sorry.
Um...
The Beatles - Real Love Atlantic Starr - Always Breathe - Hands To Heaven Phil Collins - Groovy Kind Of Love Bryan Adams - Everything I Do Celine Dion - Because You Loved Me Selena - Dreaming Of You Sophie B. Hawkins - As I Lay Me Down Wet, Wet, Wet - Love Is All Around
My mom is a DJ at a Top-40 station.
Beatles music is all that makes me swoon, but I'm probably not your intended audience. The above should serve you well.

I think December is probably whart he's talking about. "The Holly and the Ivy" and "Variations on the Kanon" are a couple of the best bits of piano playing I've ever heard.

quote: Pankhaj Udhas: "chand jaisa rang hai tera" - it's a Hindi song, the title means "you look like the moon" and it's beautiful. I'm listening to it now. Another great Hindi song, from a film but I can't remember the film is "So Saal Pehele"
Was it "bend it like becham"? I know its just a movie but after seeing it, i became a fan of Hindi music. Posts: 264 | Registered: Apr 2004

Evangelion is a pretty neat anime. At the end of each episode, there is a female vocal version of "Fly Me to the Moon." That version has a distant, ethereal quality to it.
My post was also poking a little fun at the fact that the creators of Evangelion has released at least twenty versions of the song on their soundtrack CDs.

Ooh, speaking of Sinatra, I just love his version of "I've Got You Under My Skin." In my History of Jazz class we listened to a live recording of it, and it was wonderful. The song is on the soundtrack for What Women Want, but it's not *quite* as good as the live recording we listened to in class. Still swoon-material, though! Posts: 1635 | Registered: Aug 2002

Jewel - Foolish Games (This is less of a melting song and more of a "I can't get over this person I've been broken up with for over a year now" song. )
U2 - All I want is You (I second this one)
a-ha - Stay on these Roads (I LOVE that song!!); Rain

It's Chris de Burgh - Lady in red. His song "Patricia" is cool, though not in the same way... And since I'm writing about naughty songs, let me add Simply Red - So beautiful. Don't be fooled by the title OR the "dreamy" begining... Just pay close attention to the refrain.
And I'll see your A-ha - "Stay on these roads" and "Crying in the Rain", and raise you another A-ha: "Velvet".

Once...when I was searching...somewhere out of reach, faraway. I was innocent and wise, and full of pain.
*sings again*
I've had time to right a book about, the way you act and look, but I haven't got a paragraph. Words are always getting in my way... anyway I love you. That's all I have to tell you. That's all I've got to say.
*sings again*
Bright eyes! How can you close and fail... How can the light that burned so brightly suddenly burn so pale... Bright eyes...
*sings yet again*
Hail Poetry! Thou heav'n born maid! Thou guildless is the pirates trade! Hail flowing fount of sentiment! All hail. All hail! All hail divine emoliant!!

Ok, there's a few songs that make me weak in the knees. One of them goes "...In the morning I can see the sights, and wonder I can ever keep you satisfied. In the morning I can see inside myself and all the things that you were trying to hide..." Unfortunately I never heard the name of the song or the band. (has anyone heard it?)
Last Kiss- by Pearl Jam Desert Rose- by Sting Only Time- by Enya

Farmgirl, how about "The Dance", by Garth Brooks? The Dance Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone For a moment all the world was right How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything For a moment wasn't I a king But if I'd only known how the king would fall Hey who's to say you know I might have chanced it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know The way it all would end the way it all would go Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance
What a great message . . .

I can just say "everything that raia said" plus I must agree to Unchained Melody. Oh and Add "Memory" from cats on but minus the lyrics, when we play it at orchestra concerts.
"The Dance" is very good, but because we always have a dance the last night at 4-H camp, and the last two years as a councilor the guys I danced with during that song have both died, it makes me cry.

come on any song with THESE lyrics you cannot deny:
If I put my hands to your stomach, or put my lips to your hand...Take me home, keep your eyes on the road. So don't forget to kiss me if you're really going to leave. Couldn't you take the second bus home? Couldn't you just take me with you?
