Songs that made you cry

[Luke-Abbott]

Ever heard a song which made you cry? I'm sure we all have, even if its a slow song or even a hard rocking powerful song it has always reminded us of something and we cry along with the words while singing to the song speakers full blast.

Well, you all might think I'm being daft but Foo Fighters: Everlong made me cry while singing to it with the speakers full blast, its chrous made me cry. To me the chrous was poweful and it hit me really hard in the spot.....

so whats your crying song moment?

[countchocula]

I don't mean to sound "macho," but I've never been moved to shed tears while listening to a song. They might have an emotional impact on me, but the impact is never potent enough to make me cry.

[Morgana]

It's funny you should mention Everlong, Luke-Abbot, that song made me cry too a few years back because of the memories it had attached to it.

A few others:

My Hero - Foo Fighters
Drowning Man - U2
Where the Streets Have No Name - U2
One - U2 (I have to lay off listening to U2, they make me cry too much ;))
You're My Best Friend - Queen
Name - Goo Goo Dolls

[JCLC11]

"In Your Eyes" - Peter Gabriel (Also my favorite song of all time.)
"Everything" - Lifehouse
"Iris" - Goo-Goo Dolls

[Harry Hood]

Wading in the Velvet Sea ~ Phish
What a Wonderful World ~ Louis Armstrong
Amazing Grace
and
Danny Boy

Cos those last three were played at my grandparents funerals...

[Grebdron]

Because it is always associated with dead firefighters.

But the one song that gets me every time is...

Cats In The Cradle.

It hits home with me because of my father, who died in 1992.:(

[CheekyShepherd]

Everytime I hear John Lennon's Imagine or The Beatles Yesterday. Two songs I associate with death of loved ones.

The Living Years - Mike & The Mechanics
Right Here Waiting - Richard Marx (my fave song)
Separate Lives - Phil Collins & Marilyn Martin
A Different Corner - George Michael
I Can't Make You Love Me - George Michael
Piano In The Dark - Brenda Russell
Said I Loved You, But I Lied - Michael Bolton

[pedro]

It's not usually the lyrics that push me to the edge, but when your goin through emotional times, then it can only take a sound to push you over the edge, not that it ever has......:rolleyes:

Anyhow

The song from the philedelphia movie (?????)

more recently, Ravenous - Arch Enemy (happened in the solo section)

The soundtrack to Requiem for a Dream.

Good call Shepherd, Cat's in the Cradle, really makes you realise how precious time is.

[Reigh Kaufman]

I teared up at a Travis gig when the bassist did Elton John's Rocket Man...It was his first time as a lead vocalist and he was nervous...did the song proud!

I teared up when The Charlatans came on-stage at Livingstone after Rob Collins died...they were magnificent!

I teared up when Radiohead sang Fake Plastic Trees at T in the Park...I had waited a long time to see this band and I was...er...uhm...tired and emotional (fucking Richard Ashcroft is a liar, man. The drugs do work).

[blankpage]

I teared myself while hearing Let it Be. Something about that song that hits home.

[bowieee]

Everyonce in a blue moon 5 years by bowie will get me.

[Tom Samborski]

No matter how downbeat or sad a song gets, I have never cried to a song.

[Rated R]

Everlong made me cry the last time I listened to it, which was today...being a guy I am kind of ashamed to say that, but it did...maybe because it's so powerful and the mood I was in was a really down one. But it also made me feel a little better at the same time...

In The Fade By Queens Of The Stone Age...mostly the lyrics "You live til you die" and so on kinda got to me yesterday, it's been a rough week. But usually songs just comfort me, or make me want to sing. I usually am stronger than all this, but just a bad week.

[I_am_the_way(HR]

there has bine a couple songs that made me cry and i am not ashamed to abmite it.

1. SMASHING PUMPKINS: mellion cole and the infinite sadness.

2. STAIND: outside live (fred dust ruend it with his lighter talk)

3. Justin Sane: we found a place

:(

[Luke-Abbott]

Outside by Staind is an amazing on, sadly Fred Durst was there to kill the mood: "This is the mutha f*cking deal, yall" brrrrrr :(

Aerosmith's Don't wanna miss a thing had me going, just a little not fully there. I don't know what the song is called or who sung it but I was at a dance recently with the girl of my dreams and the song was moving, we danced to it: The chrous was: How can I live without you the moment was there but being the man I was (:)) I didn't cry in front of her, I held them back and lived the moment. Even when the song stopped we were still in the moment that we didn't let go of each other til we snapped back into reality :) I love her, bless her soul.

Sorry, had to get it out :)

:) awww..

Blues and Gospel music frequently gets the juices flowing.. its actually pretty freaking ridiculous.

[Eleanor Rigby]

Tears In Heaven =-= Eric Clapton gets me all warm and fuzzy :)

[Jezebel]

It's only happened once to me and it was during Hurt by Nine Inch Nails.

[jackson13]

When my g/f and I broke up, everytime I heard our song Amazed by Lonestar I cried my eyes out. Now that we are back together, I can listen to it again. Although I cried to it on saturday because we listened to it together for the first time since we got back together. Now I need to go watch something with Tits and Ass and Explosions so I can stop feeling like a pussy.

[notchreturns]

Yeah, Tears In Heaven will get the waterworks flowing....

"Philadelphia" by Neil Young definitely works on ya especially when you're listening to it at the end of Philadelphia with that 16mm footage.

"My Weakness" by Moby gets me a little misty, since I remember it being played during a very moving episode of the X-Files.

Liz Phair covering the Velvet Underground's "Beginning to See The Light"

Rufus Wainwright "One Man Guy"

Dave Matthews Band "The Christmas Song"


Hey Cheeky, you've got some balls on you to admit to weeping to a Michael Bolton song man.Has anyone been picking on you yet? Just remember if they do, they're probably dancing and singing along to an entire Britney Spears album at home.

[Slayer16]

"Full of Grace" by Sarah McLachlan

"Goodbye to You" by Michelle Branch

"The Power of Goodbye" by Madonna

"Butterfly" by Mariah Carey

"Family Portrait" by Pink

[Gregorious8]

That Pearl Jam song about him with his girlfriend dying after a car accident.

[Annie Hall]

1. Leaving Town- Dexter Freebish
2. Brilliant Dance- The Dashboard Confessional
3. You Know You're Right- Nirvana
4. Sound of Silence- Simon and Garfunkel
5. Hey Jude- The Beatles
6. Romeo and Juliet- Dire Straits

[USESOAP]

the ballad....millencolin
and...kiss me deadly...generation x

[James Logan]

"Your Song", by Elton John. And the Ewan McGregor version from MOULIN ROUGE. There's a story behind it, of course, and it involves a lady...

OH...MY...GOD...

That was a remake dude...

[Tylersays]

Electric Light Orchestra - Telephone Line

Hey how you feelin'
Are you still the same
Don't you realize the things we did, we did
Were all for real not a dream
I just can't believe they've all faded out of view

[Invincible]

I don't remember crying while listening to a song, BUT this is an emotional melody/song right here WHICH is something I RECOMMEND you should listen to!

Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun
Paul Oakenfold - Motion

[flowrchild]

The song "Living Years" by Mike & The Mechanics has made me cry several times. Probably because it hits too close to home with my relationship (if you can call it that) with my father.

[Scarface98.9]

I've never cried during/after a song, but I felt a little weepy during Playground Love by Air. It's just so hypnotic, and struck me in a strange way. Since it was the Vibrophone version, it had no lyrics

[Jess]

Ugh, that damn song gets to me too but only because it was played at my uncle's funeral a couple years back and ever since then, I've never been able to listen to it. It's funny how you can listen to a song and think nothing of it but when it's played at a loved ones funeral, it becomes the most disturbing, disgusting song that you can't bear to listen to for one fucking nanosecond.

[James Logan]

There's this french song, too, called "C'était l'hiver" ("It was winter"), written by Francis Cabrel, and sung by Francis Cabrel and Isabelle Boulay....It's a very sad and poetic song about suicide, and as one of my oldest friends from the US passed away recently by killing himself (don't want to talk about it, and this ain't the place anyways), listening to that song's been emotionally tough lately...

[BakeTheMooCow]

They don't make me cry, but they come close :

1. Elliot Smith - Needle In The Hay (reminds me of that scene in The Royal Tenenbaums)
2. Goo Goo Dolls - Name (just a sad song with great lyrics)
3. Weezer - Only In Dreams (musical perfection, I love this song to death)
4. Aimee Mann - Wise Up (Magnolia-haters will think otherwise, but I think this song was used brilliantly in the movie)
5. Tori Amos - Me And A Gun (The subject matter is disturbing and the way she sings it without any music, that really gets me)
6. From Autumn To Ashes - Short Stories With Tragic Endings (halfway through the song, theres this acoustic guitar bit and then Melanie Willis' vocals set it and its really haunting and beautiful)

[jackson13]

My town always has a huge ass festival over the Labor Day Weekend, and they always have an awesome fireworks display the last night of the festival. Before the fireworks, they blow up hot air balloons and they do a "night-glow". This year the town had some special guests, New York City Firemen. The town built this huge float of an eagle that tilted from side to side like it was flying, and the float drove under the balloon that the firemen were in. While this was going on they played "Proud to be an American" over the loudspeakers. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, in attendence stood up and sang along with it. Little kids were saluting the firefighters, people were holding up lighters and waving flags, just about everyone there was crying. I think thats the most emotional thing I've ever been a part of. It was just great though, I've never been a part of such patriotism before.

[SubMethod]

Hallelujah-Jeff Buckley
Comfortable-John Mayer
Last Goodbye-Jeff Buckley

Jeff Buckley was such a musical genius, he is very much missed.

I hate the movie but I love the song, and was great in another Tom Cruise flick, Jerry Maguire

[jackson13]

I got a new one. The other day I was just driving down the road and I had a lot on my mind. The new song "Bother" by Stone Sour came on the radio. It was the first time I heard it and I just started bawling. What an emotional song that is. Im listening to it right now, although, I havent cried listening to it since the first time I heard it. Very powerful song if you ask me.

[Conor]

daniel, and danny boy both get to me. both were played at my friend dan's funeral.

[Jason Lives]

You are Everything by Marvin Gaye and Diana Ross, I know someone else sings it better but I don't know who it is. Just about every other song they play on the Wonder Years makes me weepy too

[Lady Summerisle]

Rufus Wainwright "One Man Guy", his remake of Dad's song is so touching.

Leonard Cohen- This is one of my heroes, but he makes me cry like Niagara Falls.
"So long Marianne"
"Winter Lady"
"hey That's No Way To Say Goodbye"
"land of plenty"
"alexandra leaving"
"the old revolution"

Cat Stevens- Trouble from HAROLD AND MAUDE
The entire playlist of his songs from H&M make me want to weep uncontrollably.

[NumberMSO52]

Don't we have any motorhead fans in the house? 1916 by Motorhead is the one song that ever has made me feel like crying. Suicide(a better way) by Choking Victim comes close if i'm in a bad mood.

"You Dont Love Me Anymore" by Weird Al Yankovick


I did cry when i heard this song because i was laughing so hard.

[NumberMSO52]

I have to add I'm So Tired by Fugazi to the list, that one officially takes the cake now.

Also Autobiography of a Nation by Thursday tends to get to me because i associate it with a particular breakup of mine.

[Linus*likes*noise]

Don't let my Skeletor Avatar fool you, I am a sensitive cry-ass inside.

these tunes do it for me

The Thin Ice - Pink Floyd, every time I hear it I get a tear

You Know Your Right - Nirvana, Only the first couple times I heard it for the ovbious reasons

Tragedy - Hayden, My old Dog died when I first got this album and this tune makes me think of ol' Prince, sniff.

To tell you the truth the whole First Hayden album gets me goin'

The Needle and the Damage Done - Neil Young, For some reason I seem to be highly(no pun in 10 did) attracted to the music created by Herion addicts that died by the needle. It makes me so sad and I cry even when my Grandpa is around.

I know there are more but you'll have to excuse me, I have to go cry....
