Songs that make you cry

Post Reply New Topic

Loads of songs can get me going, below are just a selection of the biggest culprits, in no order:

Linda Ronstadt/James Ingram - Somewhere Out There

X Factor Finalists - Hero (Due to the whole UK operations in Afghanistan, to our boys and girls getting blown up and shot dead and all those coffins they bring back, to all the people who live with battle wounds)

D Side - Real World

Luther Vandross - Dance With My Father

Phil Collins - Against All Odds

Starship Trooper by Yes
Concerto for Group and Orchestra by Deep Purple and The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

Runaway train by pearl Jam. It really spoke to me when I was suicidal...now it reminds me of that time
Also "Only Time" by Enya. Reminds me of a very sad time in my life

Unusual You- Britney Spears
Obsessed- Miley Cyrus
Soon- Thumbelina soundtrack
Let me be your wings- Thumbelina soundtrack

ya I meant Soul Asylum....that really brings back tragic memories of that time in my life

ohh and Unbreak my heart is gut wrenching as my mother cried everytime it came on the radio during the time my father was abusing her

How about "The World I Know" by Collective Soul?

I remember first hearing this song when I was 16 and thinking it was the most beautiful thing.

Lyrics...

Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all the kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on.
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why.

Are we listening
To hymns of offering?
Have we eyes to see
That love is gathering?
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one.

So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below.
And I laugh at myself
As the tears roll down.
'Cause it's the world I know.
It's the world I know.

"21 Guns" by Green Day made me almost cry the first time I heard it because of what it's about, but "Godspeed" by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus almost ALWAYS does. "Can't Let You Go" by Adam Lambert is a close second because of his voice; he genuinely sounds upset when he sings it and I just want to be like, "It's okay!"

From most to least emotionally touching:

Jeff Buckely's version of Hallelujah.

Song is so damn depressing.

Again, I won't say it makes me cry, but I love Mio Bambino Caro

I don't cry very easily, but sometimes "Backstreets" by Bruce Springsteen really gets me.

Back when I listened to nothing but avenged sevenfold, I Won't See You Tonight and Thrashed and Scattered made me cry. (Thrased and Scattered made me cry in a pissed off way.)
