* '''"Tallulah"'''. Listen to it after a breakup! Yeah, a breakup song after a breakup is extra tearjerking as it is, but Tallulah tops them all. Now listen to it after a breakup when neither of you wanted to break up - but you did, because you wanted your ex-significant-other to be happy and you knew that she couldn't be happy with you anymore. And you know that you could practically undo it with a phone call. But you still don't do it because [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy you want her to be happy]].
* And when you're done angsting about your break up, than listen to "Caleb". Child abuse, StartofDarkness, and TearJerker fuel galore.

* "The Day" from ''Stones Grow Her Name.'' A man loses his family in a flood but handles it with a dignity that will have listeners scrambling for hankies.
** Not just any flood, mind you, but the tsunamis that struck Japan in spring 2011.
* You can add "Replica" to the list as well.
* A new album means new tearjerkers. From ''Pariah's Child,'' the song "What Did You Do in the War, Dad?" about a father who did terrible things he thought would make the world better for his children, but now is haunted by his dark past and unable to enjoy being a parent.
* Basically, what we're saying here is that every album has a couple. At least...

* "White Pearl, Black Oceans". [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUKxqU0yzIY I was born and raised by the sea, shy yet proud...]]
* Also "Shamandalie", "My Selene", and (if you pay attention to the lyrics), "Paid in Full". All awesome, all will bring you to your knees if you let them.
