Just like the title says, what song makes you cry or pulls on the old heartstrings. Wedding songs? Something else? For me it is Believe by Savatage and if you have not heard it and have kids, bring some tissues. How about you guys?

I'm being serious, I guess the Norse god of pinball never cries. Do you have kids?

I did this post because I heard this song for the first time in many years today and I was weeping like a little girl. Check it out on YouTube please and tell me it isn't powerful as hell. Savatage-Believe. ( that's a challenge Odin) if you have a kid there is no way you will not shed a tear unless you're not paying attention to the song.

Time in a bottle is a good one. Check out my song. It's "metal" but a theatrical ballad is the best way to describe it. Savatage is the band that became Trans Siberian Orchestra.

I love you and you know that. This is a pure ballad no "cock rock" at all. It sounds like a Broadway tune done by a metal band.

Thank

No, cock rock tries to be macho. These guys do not. Did you listen to the whole song? What do you consider a powerful song? I know it's not Iron Maiden

Mike and the Mechanics are great. I loved Peter Gabriel era Genesis and the first two or three Collins albums as well. Carpet Crawlers is Genesis' best song.

I herniated a couple discs in my back and that was way worse than my two open heart surgeries. I was screaming bloody murder!

Agree to disagree then. This song just puts a dagger in my heart and twists. I love prog rock and metal from this era. I was a teenager when this album came out, it all just fits for me. Kinda how you must feel about the Del Vikings and Perry Como

I'll agree with that one, and Cotton Eyed Joe

O-D I'm really pissed they didn't include any Di'anno stuff. If it wasn't for him Number of The Beast would never have happened. He was a big talent back in the day that lacked professionalism. Too bad for him, he should have done a lot more with his talent. Shoulda, coulda, woulda, I guess.

Gotta check those out.

I will add Pictures of You by The Cure. That song was popular when my grandfather died and it sticks in my head for that reason. My grandmother died when Seal's Kiss From a Rose was all over the radio, so that song has those memories attached to it.

Morrissey's entire catalog makes people cry.

My favorite Stevie track is Stay Gold. Powerful and brilliant all the way through.

Great song! Even better than the original.

If you don't mind me asking, how did your brother pass away so young? If I offend you, just ignore the post. I am curious because I have a lot of medical problems and have had strokes and am about to have open heart surgery number three, and I am under 40. The reason I started this thread is because I have to go under the knife again and I'm scared for my daughter if something happens to me. I listened to the Album Streets by Savatage and started bawling my eyes out. I'm not normally sentimental, but major surgery has a way of bringing that out.

Great. Classic. Tune.

What's the song from Karate Kid 2. "Like a knight in shining armor, from a long time ago" that is straight nostalgia for me

Thanks. I appreciate that. As Tom Petty once said, " The waiting is hardest part".

Thank you.

Best version of Over the Rainbow ever! Hawaii shut down when he died. A national treasure.

I was gonna downvote you until you mentioned your wife's passing. My condolences. I'm a progressive rock/metal fan and have liked Savatage since I was a kid. It's an album thing for me.

Today, it was the national anthem of France. I'm bummed.

I think 80’s kids will agree that the theme song to The Wonderful World of David the Gnome tugs at the ol’ heartstrings.
