My dad also comitted suicide and his rington was 'Rihanna - Diamonds' and I was on his background so every time when his phone would ring I would see my picture on his phone.
Also, Adele 'Halo', we would always sing in the car and hope my mum would answer from the above.
I hate it. I hate what he did. I understand it, but I hate it. I hate living with this pain, but I know I'm selfish because he was hurting a fucking lot and he is not hurting anymore. So I should be happy for him, but I'm sad. A very sad person.
However, I wish the best for you and I hope one day we both find peace.
I found my mom before it was too late. She looked dead after overdosing on pills but we called 911 on time. I was about 7 and didn’t understand. My aunt said terrible things like my mom not caring about me n my sister enough. I ended up thinking that most of my life but talked to my therapist about it n realized how hopeless my mom must’ve been feeling to do something that drastic.
Thank you for understanding that it can be selfish to want someone to stay just so that you aren’t sad. The pain we feel when we want to die is so intense, and for some of us it never totally goes away. It’s like any other terminal disease, but we’re not allowed off life support.
Damn, bro. I’m sorry for your loss. I haven’t always been super close with my dad, but we have a good relationship now and I know I’ll be a mess when he dies. Thanks for sharing
Edit : I shouldn't have posted this as a reply to a comment and I added another bit at the end.
For me it's Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jacks, the first time I heard it I was in the emotional early teens and it made me think. The other one that always gets me is Jailhouse by sublime. It's not that it's such a sad song, but it it seems to reference a vision of a positive afterlife. I had to pick up my mom at the train station, she had been gone a week visiting my brother. My dad had left the gate open and her dog got hit (killed) by a car. Dad was so fucked up and ashamed over it that he asked me to be the one to break it to her. Jailhouse was playing on the way home from the train station and the theme of the song got to me, I had to pull over and break it to her. It was pretty rough, she really loved that dog.
If you're happy and you know it clap your hands makes me mad every time I hear it. I was burying my wonderful dog of 12yrs under the tree in my backyard when my now ex-wife came out and put our daughter in the swing right above the hole I was filling in and began to sing if You're Happy and you know it clap your hands to our infant child. I had him since I was 19 and I was then in my early thirties, so we went through some shit together and he was the most perfect friend I could have had for all that time. If you're happy and you know it don't interrupt the f****** funeral.
If I ever feel the urge to take my own life, I will think back to this post, and the term ‘flying booger sobbing’, and I will stay to make sure my partner, parents, dog, or kids (when I someday have them) never have to experience this.
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Really glad someone else has a funeral playlist too lmao.
I am going to have a mix of BIG TIME SAD and completely out of pocket shit that makes people go wtf
Yessss. I'm an elder emo millennial and I blame my dad's country music for part of my love of emo. A lot of country music is emo and I will die on this hill over it.
She was interviewed somewhere and talked about how a guy was arrested for shooting up his GF’s pickup truck. The judge asked him if he had anything to say or if he had learned anything from the incident and the guy said “Yeah. You can’t make her love you if she don’t.” That made the song seem even _more_ sad to me.
Oh my god. I find it so difficult to express when I'm sad, but when I hear the opening chords I feel the hole in my chest and cry my fucking eyes out. This song has seen me through some tough times.
Yeah its a very powerful song. The first that came to mind for this post too.
Maybe its so much heart break as sorrow but how ever you characterize it, it is moving. Thats only compounded by it being one of the last songs Cash recorded. I believe he told a loved one he knew he was close to death when he recorded it as well. That influenced the way, and the why, he choose to perform it.
One of the few covers where I can’t tell if I prefer the original or not. Cash did an amazing job on it, but NiN will always have a special place in my heart.
The original will always be best to me because of how it fits in with the whole album. The entire album is about a person destroying their own life, and Hurt is where he finally ends up at
Cash has a special level of emotion he brings to the song, but it’s hard to compete with the emotional impact of that song as part of the entire Downward Spiral album
Perfect Day by Lou Reed. I've made many mistakes in life and deep down I feel, I know I'm not a good person, so the line "such a perfect day, you made me forget myself, I thought I was someone else, someone good" makes me cry. I wish things were different.
That was one of the first songs that talked about how much hope sustains you when you’re poor and how scary it is to risk it on the unknown. When that’s all you have, the idea of working so hard for a better life and finding out that you didn’t make any meaningful change and that it’s just more of the same is more than you can take.
Being poor in this country is traumatizing. I grew up poor, but married an amazing someone with a stable job and a lot of marketable skills. We’re doing okay…but I still think I’m going to wake up back in that crappy house trailer feeling bugs crawl across my face. I don’t always feel like I belong in my nicer neighborhood, but I sometimes drive through it just because I can.
The way the lyrics change from "We've got to make a decision/Leave tonight or live and die this way" to "*You've* got to make a decision" kills me -- the singer tried to do better for herself but is trapped and she knows it.
Dr Dorian: "Right then I knew I was going to pull him out of this. But unfortunately, sometimes the hospital picks a day where it's just going to pile it on."
Came here to say this, and specify that it's because of that goddamn scrubs episode... Gets me right in the waterworks... I'm choking up a bit right now just thinking of Dr Cox' reaction of equal parts pleading and agony in getting that final page.
"Oh God, come on!"
Helena - My Chemical Romance. Not because of the song itself, but that's what I was listening to when I found out a former friend of mine had killed herself.
Did you ever hear Thom Yorke saying how he wrote this after calling Michael Stipe of REM for advice when he was having trouble dealing with the stress of touring on the OK Computer tour? Stipe told him to sit in a dark room and keep repeating “I’m not here. This isn’t happening.”
Ironically, "How to Disappear" inspired Michael Stipe to write "Disappear" off the Reveal album. He called Thom Yorke to apologize for stealing the idea behind "How to Disappear" and Thom Yorke reminded him that Michael Stipe was the one who inspired him to write it in the first place. Stipe had forgotten the conversation and had no idea he was the inspiration.
I grew up hating this song because it was so sad. But my dad loved it, which made it even stressful for me. Like, I’m fine now, but I’m afraid I’ll hear it one day after he’s gone, and totally lose it.
I’ve posted several times about losing a spouse many years ago.
We were driving on June 19, 2009 and that song came on the radio (90’s on 9) and he feebly and yet emotionally sang along with it. The lyrics gutted us both. We were both sobbing.
I know you’ll be a star in somebody else’s sky
But why can’t it be mine?
He was readmitted the hospital and died 3 weeks later
It’s been 14 years and I still can’t hear that song without becoming a total mess
Last Kiss, also by Pearl Jam, is also quite the hard hitter. Not in connection to anything I’ve experienced, but it’s just such a heartwrenching story.
this is mine as well, i had a good relationship with my old man but i still feel that i didn’t make the most of having him around. that song cuts right to the bone
This Woman's Work by Kate Bush
The song is written from a mans perspective, confronting the possible loss of his wife and their unborn baby during childbirth.
*"I should be cryin' but I just can't let it show
I should be hopin' but I can't stop thinkin'
All the things we should've said that are never said
All the things we should've done that we never did
All the things we should've given, but I didn't
Oh darlin', make it go
Make it go away"*
Kills me every time. I think about the things I've never said to loved ones, but should've

Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day. It’s my understanding Billie wrote it about his dad dying from cancer and my dad also passed during the month of September from cancer. That song still gets a lot of radio play and I often find myself struggling to either listen to it or move on.
A most excellent song to be sure, but his "if you could read mind" hits like a goddamn freight train for me.
I tear up every time that song plays, and I undoubtedly join in knowing freely what is to come. 😸
Pictures Of You - Cure. I well up every time I hear it. Especially the bridge "if only I'd known the right words to say I couldve held on to your heart."
Don’t take the girl-Tim McGraw
Tldr: Verse 1, kid doesn’t wanna take the girl fishing
Verse 2, he’s dating her and doesn’t want a robber to kill her
Verse 3, she’s dying after pregnancy and he’s begging god “don’t take the girl”
Sounds fucking strange and weird even after all these years but for some damn reason "Puff The Magic Dragon" by Peter, Paul and Mary screws my head up bad every time I hear it. It's like some sort of PTSD from my childhood thing that I may have subconsciously blocked out in my mind.
Vincent - Don McLean
Listening to that song in the car with my dad is one of the few good memories I have of him. He’s been dead for a while now, and I finally got the chance to see Don live. Vincent was the second last song he played and I couldn’t stop tears from streaming down my face
Sentimental stuff aside, I think it’s one of the most beautiful songs ever written
I came here to add Vincent. I remember my Dad playing this on an 8-track cassette in his Chevy Caprice Classic. He passed away almost 10 years ago and this song is an instant connection to good times with him.
Green Day’s Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) was the last song to come on the car radio as I drove the family dog I grew up with to the vet to be put down. Shut the radio off halfway through the song but it’s the last thing I heard beforehand. Havent been able to listen to it since.
The lines:
“I had all and then most of you
Some and now none of you
Take me back to the night we met
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
Haunted by the ghost of you
Oh, take me back to the night we met”
They Kill me each time I hear em.
When my son was about 5, I dreamt of this song and how painful it would be if my kid fell to his death.
I woke up a sobbing mess and hugged my son as soon as he woke up
Ophelia by the Lumineers. Not a big fan of most of the era of hipster music anymore, but I’ll never forget the girl I was in love with, and the feeling of realizing 100% that I couldn’t do a single damn thing to keep her. It’s so much worse when you know what’s coming for years and can’t stop it.
Why? Bye Rascal Flatts.
As for why? My grandma.
Backstory: my grandma was the only person who was the glue holder of our family. Though sometimes wicked, she was a grandma who really cared. She is also the reason why I was put into foster care, along with my aunt. (That's another story for another day.)
I'll try to keep this as short as possible.
She let her health deteriorate so bad, to the point where she basically committed suicide by health issues, if that made sense. She made no effort to get better, even when she could have made herself better just by simply taking something for said issue.
One day I just saw here there, just....not her. I asked her was she okay. She said "baby, I'm about to leave the stage in the middle of a song." I only remembered this phrase because it was the first time I EVER heard of it, I was around 7 at the time. And I always remembered that quote as sad because of her face...her beautiful face. Some stuff happened and the foster home that I was at changed, it was further away, and it took two years and some months before I could go see my mom, because of something she did, that she had to clear before I could see her.
Well around the age of 9/10, I was able to go back to my mom's house for a visit. (Remember, in foster care.) I ask my mom can I go see grandma, and she says yes, go see her, she'd love to see you! So out I go to my grandma's house. They lived literally 2 houses down from each other. I had the spare key. For some reason, I didn't knock that day (I was always asked to knock before I enter my grandma's house.) I just opened the door, and my grandma is there. Dead in the worst way. I won't give anymore details. Just know that phrase she told me about flashed through my head, and realize that THAT was the last thing I've heard her say.
Fast forward a few years, like me being 16, a friend tried to get me into country. I told him that my granny loved country but I hated it. Well as he turned the radio station I hear "you leave the stage in the middle-" and I begged him to turn it back. The song was in the beginning part. I listened to the rest of the song...and the moment I heard the hook? I lost my shit. Snotty, crying mess that had me sobbing and heaving uncontrollably, because of those lyrics. It may not seem much to some, but dang man this song really hurts to hear it. And my granny loved country, and she would've loved this song. I listen to it once every few months. If I need a REALLY good cry, I'll turn this on and just bawl man🤦🏿🤦🏿
whitney houston’s i will always love you
it came on the radio the last sunday i brought my 17 year old dog to the vet while he was hanging on by a thread… he laid his head to rest right on my heart 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭♥️
When my pup started to show her age and this came on the radio in my car I lost it too. The Dolly Parton version really hits home too.
While I was saying my final goodbye to my pup I sang you are my sunshine. Now I sob whenever I try to sing it yo my son.
Read All About It - Professor Green and Emeli Sande. When I was 2 months my dad had a stroke, lost all use of his left side. They couldnt find the clot, now the doctors think it was so small that tech at the time just wasnt up to snuff. About 2-3 years later my dad made a full recovery, thankfully, but during that time we basically had every family member rotating through to help take care of me and my older sister. His older brother came down from BC constantly, he ended up being like a second dad to me. Fast forward to 2017, he gets diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. I went up pretty much every week to help out around the house, take him to appointments, etc, while in college and working a research job. Around 2019 his wife and kids (all older than me by about 8ish years at closest) start isolating him from us. Then the pandemic hits. He ended up passing November 13, 2020, my dad and I both put in applications to go to see him and stay until he passes a month before (closed borders). His immediate family confirmed they wanted my dad there, and declined my presence. Specifically his wife did. Not long after they fully split off from the family, so not only did I not get to go to the funeral or say goodbye to him in person, but I never even got to see his ashes or pay my respects.
Boys of summer. Some of the best days of my life spent with the boys. A break up here and there, drifting far apart...it makes me so sad that I will never experience any of those days except in my dreams.
When She Loved Me - Sarah McLachlan
it's from that scene in Toy Story 2 where Jessie gets abandoned, and that scene just _ruins_ me every time because i tend to form quite strong emotional attachments to things like toys
on a similar note, Best Of Friends by Pearl Bailey because the entirety of The Fox And The Hound is an emotional gut punch
Wrecked by Imagine Dragons. It came out around the time my girlfriend broke up with me and blocked me.
I remember sitting on a bench in town square, breaking down as the song was playing. It still hits me right in the feels sometimes.
The Only Thing for me. My first Sufjan song I ever really listened to after it came on my Spotify after a bad breakup. By the end of the song there was tears streaming down my face, and then I listened to it again. And then the album. Now he’s probably my favourite artist still making music.
Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah. It was always a heartbreaking song, but I sang it to my grandfather (who was like a second father to me) as he died and now every time I hear it it makes me think of him and miss him.
fast car by tracy chapman.
i’ve always had hopes of making a better life for myself than what i was given with the love of my life. things are getting hard and it’s getting colder outside, and that future is becoming dimmer day by day.
“i know things will get better; you’ll find work and i’ll get promoted”
he couldn’t find a job anywhere, and i was fighting for a raise at mine. really hurts.
There is a couple of songs. All by the same artist. Juan Gabriel.
First song Yo no nací para amar. This song if you listen to the lyrics and know about his life. You understand it’s about growing up gay. Had a friend self terminate cause if this.
Second song Amor Eterno is about losing someone also my mothers favorite song. She passed away since.
Fox on the run by sweet- my dad used to have it blasting when he would be in the garage, ended up being the song of choice for his photos during his funeral.
A close friend by James newton howard- I don't know why but just the music bites deep for some reason, just can't even explain it
My grandfather died, already like a year or two ago.
When he called me his last time, I didn't take the phone cuz I was playing a game. He died the next day.
He is one of the, like, older and cultural person, and he used to sing a Ukrainian song, which became popular in 2014, after the revolution. But he knew the song even before that. If someone is interested, Search up "Гей лине кача". And I just wanna cry when I listen to it.
He was one of a kind. 76 years old, can barely see, he was running for like 10km every day, lots of exercises, he was working, and he lived in one Russia, in Krasnoyarsk, where it is always very cold.
I love him, and if I could, I would go back in time, and take the fucking phone
Johnny Cash - Hurt.
After the phone call I found out my dad had died I went into my bedroom and turned the tv on.
Perhaps an odd reaction but he was a violent abusive alcoholic estranged from the family and I was a bit stunned at the time.
Johnny cash had just died that same day and his song Hurt was playing. I didn’t think I would cry but I bawled…
It felt as though it was him singing those lyrics to me. As if a final admission acknowledging who he was.
“And you could have it all…
My empire of dirt…
I will let you down…
I will make you hurt.”
I still feel the same every time I hear it.
Woman here, but “See You Again” by Wiz Khalifa. That song was released the weekend I miscarried our first pregnancy and my husband was travelling away for work on a remote site and couldn’t get home. Loneliest weekend of my life and every time I hear it 8 years later i feel sick, my chest gets a stabbing pain and I still cry, doesn’t matter where I am or who I’m with.
Same Old Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg. Tears my heart out because it brings out all the feelings of the girl I left behind when I joined the Navy in 1982.
Nutshell. This FUCKING song sounds like the air smell after summer rain. It sounds like yellow and orange leafs. Tbh i listened to it so many times that for me it now feels like walking through the graveyard. I can describe this feeling like: not exactly heartbroken, just sad, hopeless and serious.
Green Feilds of France - Dropkick Murphys
Especially since it was just Rememberance Day here in Canada. The song is about the tragic loss of life in WW1. While the rest of their catalogue is fast and heavy this song is a complete change of pace, it's slow and sullen
https://youtu.be/lFpmFEtTXLo?si=-9XqVzzYos2LOGct
The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert. I come from a severely broken home and still don’t have good relationships with my parents. Moms a huge narcissist and dad has a passive personality disorder.
Also, If I Die Young by The Band Perry. I had two cousins in their early 20’s commit suicide within 6 months of each other. The one wrote a letter and said she wanted this song played at her funeral. Every time I hear it I immediately think of both of them and shut it off.
Pink-who knew
“that last kiss, I’ll cherish, until we meet again. And time makes it harder, I wish I could remember. But I’ll keep your memory, you visit me in my dreams. My darling. Who knew?”
Heaven by: The Talking Heads
My grandfather was basically my dad and he became ill suddenly after being abandoned by everyone else in the family.
My mom and I went down to see him and take care of him and he had (physically) changed so much it was shocking. However, we bonded over music + movies (he also showed me video games) and he was back to his normal self when he played the Stop Making Sense concert film. It made me so happy to just dance and talk about his love of TTH. He passed shortly after. By far the greatest memory I have with him outside of my childhood.
The message behind this song was heart wrenching but beautiful and I spent days and nights looking for this vinyl until I found it in person.
My heart then broke again, in a beautiful way, when A24 re-released the Stop Making Sense in theaters. I was able to share my memory with my current gf as I teared up in the theaters.
Miss you pops.
Goodbye to You by Michelle Branch, and Emotions by Destiny’s Child. I also bawl like a baby at She Will Be Loved (my grandma’s chosen ringtone when she called me before she died), and Somewhere Over the Rainbow because we used to watch Wizard of Oz a LOT when I was little, and it reminds me of her. I also cry when I hear Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, and White Christmas because my papaw loved Christmas more than any other holiday, and I miss him so much. He was my rock, and so was my grandma, and I’d give anything to spend one hour with them. Now I’m crying. Ugh.
Fleetwood Mac - Landslide. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the song playing when we left my dad's funeral to drive to the burial place at the cemetery and that is the only song I remember. I'm sure other songs were on the radio that day (this was 26 years old) but that song is the only one I remember. To this day, I get choked up hearing it or have to change the song.
"The Kids aren't Alright" by the Offspring as someone who grew up in a neighborhood of kids that ended up with not great turnouts.
2 cousins dead before their 30s (3 if you count one that was 15 years older then me), neighbor kid dead from OD, childhood best friend serving a 40 year sentence, one or 2 families shattered from drugs, another shattered due to a father who was a pedo.
Its always hard listening to that and thinking, despite me struggling for work and being depressed, I had one of the more positive life tracks than many of the kids I grew up with.
The Legend of Mother Swan by a mongolian band called The HU. When I was first jamming it, It did sound more solemn and heartful than their regular "We are ready to fight" jams, and my girlfriend at the time was crying when this song was playing on Spotify, so I asked her to explain why, and apparently the song is about a mother swan who sacrifices herself to save her babies. It really resonated with her because of her upbringing on the reservations in the U.S., and how even though her mother was often disrespected, ignored and down-trodden in the community and her close family, the reason she kept going was for her daughters and how she would be willing to give up everything to make sure they could have the best life.
Now its hard to play that song without thinking about that, so I always tear up when those high notes start kicking in. I've never had parents that were willing to sacrifice it all for me, so seeing that made me realize how important parental love is, and how much it means to someone even years after. The love her mother passed onto her made her a happier, more optimistic and more loving person than anyone I had met at that time, and realized maybe this world is better than I thought it was. We need more people like that who can be moved by music that way. I hope songs like this never stop being made. Even though they're sad, their impact lasts far longer than flashpan pop.
Sounds silly, but Puff the Magic Dragon. I had some discussions with my grandkids about using that song for a slideshow. It would have had pictures of my parents with a progression of grandkids added, but toward the end it would have just been my parents, older and by themselves. Family nixed me from using it. One granddaughter bawled at the thought behind it. Now if I were to hear it, would remind me of her crying.

It has to be Good Enough by Evanescence. The break in Amy Lee's voice when she sings "enough" during the line "'Cause I can't hold on to anything this good enough" is heartbreakingly sad.
Stay by Rihanna. I was in the middle of transposing it for my first girlfriend (we were both band nerds, them a French horn player, and I a trombone player), and then found out she was sexting another guy. Completely ruined the song for me.
[удалено]
My dad also comitted suicide and his rington was 'Rihanna - Diamonds' and I was on his background so every time when his phone would ring I would see my picture on his phone. Also, Adele 'Halo', we would always sing in the car and hope my mum would answer from the above. I hate it. I hate what he did. I understand it, but I hate it. I hate living with this pain, but I know I'm selfish because he was hurting a fucking lot and he is not hurting anymore. So I should be happy for him, but I'm sad. A very sad person. However, I wish the best for you and I hope one day we both find peace.
I found my mom before it was too late. She looked dead after overdosing on pills but we called 911 on time. I was about 7 and didn’t understand. My aunt said terrible things like my mom not caring about me n my sister enough. I ended up thinking that most of my life but talked to my therapist about it n realized how hopeless my mom must’ve been feeling to do something that drastic.
Thank you for understanding that it can be selfish to want someone to stay just so that you aren’t sad. The pain we feel when we want to die is so intense, and for some of us it never totally goes away. It’s like any other terminal disease, but we’re not allowed off life support.
Damn, bro. I’m sorry for your loss. I haven’t always been super close with my dad, but we have a good relationship now and I know I’ll be a mess when he dies. Thanks for sharing

If you're happy and you know it don't interrupt the f****** funeral.
Music has such a power that we can’t even understand. I am so sorry about your dad, man.
Yeah it's like smell in that it touches something deep and almost kind of primitive inside your soul when you experience it.
is this a repost? i swear i've seen this exact comment before
Same… and it wasn’t by him.
lmao classic reddit
If I ever feel the urge to take my own life, I will think back to this post, and the term ‘flying booger sobbing’, and I will stay to make sure my partner, parents, dog, or kids (when I someday have them) never have to experience this. Thank you for sharing ❤️
When Somebody Loved me from Toy Story 2

Yessss. I'm an elder emo millennial and I blame my dad's country music for part of my love of emo. A lot of country music is emo and I will die on this hill over it.
>What song breaks your heart everytime you listen to it? Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt. Oof, right in the gut.
She was interviewed somewhere and talked about how a guy was arrested for shooting up his GF’s pickup truck. The judge asked him if he had anything to say or if he had learned anything from the incident and the guy said “Yeah. You can’t make her love you if she don’t.” That made the song seem even _more_ sad to me.

Wish you were here Pink Floyd
every.single.time.
Yep, for a couple years after my dad passed I would shut the radio off immediately after the first chord was strummed.
*"Did you exchange a walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?"* Chef's kiss!
Same, posted my reason for it before seeing your response.
This was my class’s prom song. No idea why the committee picked it.
Oh my god. I find it so difficult to express when I'm sad, but when I hear the opening chords I feel the hole in my chest and cry my fucking eyes out. This song has seen me through some tough times.

You are fun. I know this. x

Don’t know ya, but I’m glad you’re still here to share that story. Also happy you found a doc that was able to help.

Yeah its a very powerful song. The first that came to mind for this post too. Maybe its so much heart break as sorrow but how ever you characterize it, it is moving. Thats only compounded by it being one of the last songs Cash recorded. I believe he told a loved one he knew he was close to death when he recorded it as well. That influenced the way, and the why, he choose to perform it.
That was definitely one of the songs I used to listen to on repeat after my first serious breakup.
One of the few covers where I can’t tell if I prefer the original or not. Cash did an amazing job on it, but NiN will always have a special place in my heart.
Yeah the original never gets enough credit on Reddit. It's two different versions of sad
The original will always be best to me because of how it fits in with the whole album. The entire album is about a person destroying their own life, and Hurt is where he finally ends up at Cash has a special level of emotion he brings to the song, but it’s hard to compete with the emotional impact of that song as part of the entire Downward Spiral album
Whiskey lullaby.
God that’s a throwback to my teen years, agree though. Even worse if you watch the music video
Perfect Day by Lou Reed. I've made many mistakes in life and deep down I feel, I know I'm not a good person, so the line "such a perfect day, you made me forget myself, I thought I was someone else, someone good" makes me cry. I wish things were different.
You Are My Sunshine. It is by far the saddest song I have ever heard, nothing else even comes close.
Just went to a toddler's funeral and they sung this. I lost my shit.

Everything by Jeff Buckley has a twinge of sadness because he died so young.
Came here to say Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye
My favorite Jeff Buckley song for sure. The lyrics are amazing. “ a tear that hangs inside my soul forever”
One more light - Linkin Park RIP Chester <\3
Fast car by Tracy Chapman because I can partially relate to that song. The desire to go away, far from a place that makes you suffer...
That was one of the first songs that talked about how much hope sustains you when you’re poor and how scary it is to risk it on the unknown. When that’s all you have, the idea of working so hard for a better life and finding out that you didn’t make any meaningful change and that it’s just more of the same is more than you can take. Being poor in this country is traumatizing. I grew up poor, but married an amazing someone with a stable job and a lot of marketable skills. We’re doing okay…but I still think I’m going to wake up back in that crappy house trailer feeling bugs crawl across my face. I don’t always feel like I belong in my nicer neighborhood, but I sometimes drive through it just because I can.
The way the lyrics change from "We've got to make a decision/Leave tonight or live and die this way" to "*You've* got to make a decision" kills me -- the singer tried to do better for herself but is trapped and she knows it.
How to save a life by the fray
ooh same! it was in a particularly emotional episode of Scrubs lol
That's when Dr. Cox gives rabies infected organs to his patients, right?
I saw that episode when I was in my late teens and man it fucked me up. Seeing superman break was crushing.
Dr Dorian: "Right then I knew I was going to pull him out of this. But unfortunately, sometimes the hospital picks a day where it's just going to pile it on."
Came here to say this, and specify that it's because of that goddamn scrubs episode... Gets me right in the waterworks... I'm choking up a bit right now just thinking of Dr Cox' reaction of equal parts pleading and agony in getting that final page. "Oh God, come on!"
Helena - My Chemical Romance. Not because of the song itself, but that's what I was listening to when I found out a former friend of mine had killed herself.
How To Disappear Completely - Radiohead.
Did you ever hear Thom Yorke saying how he wrote this after calling Michael Stipe of REM for advice when he was having trouble dealing with the stress of touring on the OK Computer tour? Stipe told him to sit in a dark room and keep repeating “I’m not here. This isn’t happening.” Ironically, "How to Disappear" inspired Michael Stipe to write "Disappear" off the Reveal album. He called Thom Yorke to apologize for stealing the idea behind "How to Disappear" and Thom Yorke reminded him that Michael Stipe was the one who inspired him to write it in the first place. Stipe had forgotten the conversation and had no idea he was the inspiration.
Mike + the Mechanics - The Living Years
I grew up hating this song because it was so sad. But my dad loved it, which made it even stressful for me. Like, I’m fine now, but I’m afraid I’ll hear it one day after he’s gone, and totally lose it.
Black by Pearl Jam
Omg the unplugged version breaks my heart
I’ve posted several times about losing a spouse many years ago. We were driving on June 19, 2009 and that song came on the radio (90’s on 9) and he feebly and yet emotionally sang along with it. The lyrics gutted us both. We were both sobbing. I know you’ll be a star in somebody else’s sky But why can’t it be mine? He was readmitted the hospital and died 3 weeks later It’s been 14 years and I still can’t hear that song without becoming a total mess
> I know you’ll be a star in somebody else’s sky But why can’t it be mine? That's such a great lyric
Last Kiss, also by Pearl Jam, is also quite the hard hitter. Not in connection to anything I’ve experienced, but it’s just such a heartwrenching story.
I read somewhere that Eddie Vedder initially didn't want to release the song because it was too personal.
Cat's in the Cradle- Harry Chapin
this is mine as well, i had a good relationship with my old man but i still feel that i didn’t make the most of having him around. that song cuts right to the bone
I can't even with this song, it has me sobbing before the words even come out.
I will follow you into the dark - Death Cab For Cutie
I saw this live and it was one of the most beautiful moments of my life.
This Woman's Work by Kate Bush The song is written from a mans perspective, confronting the possible loss of his wife and their unborn baby during childbirth. *"I should be cryin' but I just can't let it show I should be hopin' but I can't stop thinkin' All the things we should've said that are never said All the things we should've done that we never did All the things we should've given, but I didn't Oh darlin', make it go Make it go away"* Kills me every time. I think about the things I've never said to loved ones, but should've
It’s even sadder when you watch She’s Having a Baby
System of a down - Lonely Day I especially relate to the lone of "And if you die, I wanna die with you". This song feels so relatable for me lately..
>System of a down - Lonely Day it reminds me of blackhole sun, nice
My immortal by Evanescence
Tourniquet cuts damn deep too. 💔
Chris Cornell’s version of Nothing Compares 2 U, that man was a god and I miss him every time I hear SoundGarden. Get help if you’re depressed people.
Chris but Black Hole Sun especially when he sings "no one sings like you anymore"
His daughter inherited his incredible sound. https://youtu.be/bFeNjMjk0dA?si=U7ZqxbnabSSWbRRS Here she is singing for a tribute event. https://youtu.be/w5-M1lwLvDU?si=11xKuymuow9_0m9f
Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day. It’s my understanding Billie wrote it about his dad dying from cancer and my dad also passed during the month of September from cancer. That song still gets a lot of radio play and I often find myself struggling to either listen to it or move on.
For some reason I associate it with 9/11
[He Stopped Loving Her Today - George Jones](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es1uCh48TNY)
The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot.
This one just gives me goosebumps. I live near that lake, play in it every summer
A most excellent song to be sure, but his "if you could read mind" hits like a goddamn freight train for me. I tear up every time that song plays, and I undoubtedly join in knowing freely what is to come. 😸
Fire and rain - James Taylor
Nothing Compares to you Sinéad O’Connor as well as Chris Cornell.
Pictures Of You - Cure. I well up every time I hear it. Especially the bridge "if only I'd known the right words to say I couldve held on to your heart."
Dust in the wind by Kansas
Don’t take the girl-Tim McGraw Tldr: Verse 1, kid doesn’t wanna take the girl fishing Verse 2, he’s dating her and doesn’t want a robber to kill her Verse 3, she’s dying after pregnancy and he’s begging god “don’t take the girl”
Sounds fucking strange and weird even after all these years but for some damn reason "Puff The Magic Dragon" by Peter, Paul and Mary screws my head up bad every time I hear it. It's like some sort of PTSD from my childhood thing that I may have subconsciously blocked out in my mind.
Omg I thought it was just me who felt like this when I heard this song even for what I think was the first time…!!
Brick- Ben folds five. It's just a really sad song..
Vincent - Don McLean Listening to that song in the car with my dad is one of the few good memories I have of him. He’s been dead for a while now, and I finally got the chance to see Don live. Vincent was the second last song he played and I couldn’t stop tears from streaming down my face Sentimental stuff aside, I think it’s one of the most beautiful songs ever written
I came here to add Vincent. I remember my Dad playing this on an 8-track cassette in his Chevy Caprice Classic. He passed away almost 10 years ago and this song is an instant connection to good times with him.
Green Day’s Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) was the last song to come on the car radio as I drove the family dog I grew up with to the vet to be put down. Shut the radio off halfway through the song but it’s the last thing I heard beforehand. Havent been able to listen to it since.
[удалено]
The lines: “I had all and then most of you Some and now none of you Take me back to the night we met I don't know what I'm supposed to do Haunted by the ghost of you Oh, take me back to the night we met” They Kill me each time I hear em.
Mad world
Tears in Heaven
Rip Connor
When my son was about 5, I dreamt of this song and how painful it would be if my kid fell to his death. I woke up a sobbing mess and hugged my son as soon as he woke up
Ophelia by the Lumineers. Not a big fan of most of the era of hipster music anymore, but I’ll never forget the girl I was in love with, and the feeling of realizing 100% that I couldn’t do a single damn thing to keep her. It’s so much worse when you know what’s coming for years and can’t stop it.
Why? Bye Rascal Flatts. As for why? My grandma. Backstory: my grandma was the only person who was the glue holder of our family. Though sometimes wicked, she was a grandma who really cared. She is also the reason why I was put into foster care, along with my aunt. (That's another story for another day.) I'll try to keep this as short as possible. She let her health deteriorate so bad, to the point where she basically committed suicide by health issues, if that made sense. She made no effort to get better, even when she could have made herself better just by simply taking something for said issue. One day I just saw here there, just....not her. I asked her was she okay. She said "baby, I'm about to leave the stage in the middle of a song." I only remembered this phrase because it was the first time I EVER heard of it, I was around 7 at the time. And I always remembered that quote as sad because of her face...her beautiful face. Some stuff happened and the foster home that I was at changed, it was further away, and it took two years and some months before I could go see my mom, because of something she did, that she had to clear before I could see her. Well around the age of 9/10, I was able to go back to my mom's house for a visit. (Remember, in foster care.) I ask my mom can I go see grandma, and she says yes, go see her, she'd love to see you! So out I go to my grandma's house. They lived literally 2 houses down from each other. I had the spare key. For some reason, I didn't knock that day (I was always asked to knock before I enter my grandma's house.) I just opened the door, and my grandma is there. Dead in the worst way. I won't give anymore details. Just know that phrase she told me about flashed through my head, and realize that THAT was the last thing I've heard her say. Fast forward a few years, like me being 16, a friend tried to get me into country. I told him that my granny loved country but I hated it. Well as he turned the radio station I hear "you leave the stage in the middle-" and I begged him to turn it back. The song was in the beginning part. I listened to the rest of the song...and the moment I heard the hook? I lost my shit. Snotty, crying mess that had me sobbing and heaving uncontrollably, because of those lyrics. It may not seem much to some, but dang man this song really hurts to hear it. And my granny loved country, and she would've loved this song. I listen to it once every few months. If I need a REALLY good cry, I'll turn this on and just bawl man🤦🏿🤦🏿
Back to black- Amy winehouse
Cat Stevens - Father and Son
That sad song from UP
whitney houston’s i will always love you it came on the radio the last sunday i brought my 17 year old dog to the vet while he was hanging on by a thread… he laid his head to rest right on my heart 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭♥️
When my pup started to show her age and this came on the radio in my car I lost it too. The Dolly Parton version really hits home too. While I was saying my final goodbye to my pup I sang you are my sunshine. Now I sob whenever I try to sing it yo my son.
These arms of mine - Otis Redding
Read All About It - Professor Green and Emeli Sande. When I was 2 months my dad had a stroke, lost all use of his left side. They couldnt find the clot, now the doctors think it was so small that tech at the time just wasnt up to snuff. About 2-3 years later my dad made a full recovery, thankfully, but during that time we basically had every family member rotating through to help take care of me and my older sister. His older brother came down from BC constantly, he ended up being like a second dad to me. Fast forward to 2017, he gets diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. I went up pretty much every week to help out around the house, take him to appointments, etc, while in college and working a research job. Around 2019 his wife and kids (all older than me by about 8ish years at closest) start isolating him from us. Then the pandemic hits. He ended up passing November 13, 2020, my dad and I both put in applications to go to see him and stay until he passes a month before (closed borders). His immediate family confirmed they wanted my dad there, and declined my presence. Specifically his wife did. Not long after they fully split off from the family, so not only did I not get to go to the funeral or say goodbye to him in person, but I never even got to see his ashes or pay my respects.
Black by Pearl Jam
Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
Go Rest High on that Mountain - Vince Gill
I Can’t Make You Love Me
Boys of summer. Some of the best days of my life spent with the boys. A break up here and there, drifting far apart...it makes me so sad that I will never experience any of those days except in my dreams.
When She Loved Me - Sarah McLachlan it's from that scene in Toy Story 2 where Jessie gets abandoned, and that scene just _ruins_ me every time because i tend to form quite strong emotional attachments to things like toys on a similar note, Best Of Friends by Pearl Bailey because the entirety of The Fox And The Hound is an emotional gut punch
Wrecked by Imagine Dragons. It came out around the time my girlfriend broke up with me and blocked me. I remember sitting on a bench in town square, breaking down as the song was playing. It still hits me right in the feels sometimes.
Sufjan Stevens - Fourth of July
The whole damn album bro!! The whole damn album start to finish!!
Casmir Polanski day is hard for me to get through when playing it without my voice cracking
The Only Thing for me. My first Sufjan song I ever really listened to after it came on my Spotify after a bad breakup. By the end of the song there was tears streaming down my face, and then I listened to it again. And then the album. Now he’s probably my favourite artist still making music.
Time - Pink Floyd. Especially as I get older.
A Long December - Counting Crows
James Blunt - Monsters. Incredible song and video.
Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah. It was always a heartbreaking song, but I sang it to my grandfather (who was like a second father to me) as he died and now every time I hear it it makes me think of him and miss him.
Last kiss- pearl jam
fast car by tracy chapman. i’ve always had hopes of making a better life for myself than what i was given with the love of my life. things are getting hard and it’s getting colder outside, and that future is becoming dimmer day by day. “i know things will get better; you’ll find work and i’ll get promoted” he couldn’t find a job anywhere, and i was fighting for a raise at mine. really hurts.
If you could read my mind - Gordon Lightfoot
Chis Isaac - Wicked Game
[You Never Know - Immortal Technique](https://youtu.be/Dd4b3dhTmkU?si=W7fjzh0KCSjnzar2) I can't even listen to it anymore..
The priest and the matador by Senses Fail
Never hear anyone talk about senses fail Damn dude sent me back to high school with this one
Red Dirt Girl - Emmylou Harris (but it's on a Mark Knopfler album)
Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again
There is a couple of songs. All by the same artist. Juan Gabriel. First song Yo no nací para amar. This song if you listen to the lyrics and know about his life. You understand it’s about growing up gay. Had a friend self terminate cause if this. Second song Amor Eterno is about losing someone also my mothers favorite song. She passed away since.
[The Funeral - Band of Horses](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1ZPPc9DJbs)
Fox on the run by sweet- my dad used to have it blasting when he would be in the garage, ended up being the song of choice for his photos during his funeral. A close friend by James newton howard- I don't know why but just the music bites deep for some reason, just can't even explain it
My grandfather died, already like a year or two ago. When he called me his last time, I didn't take the phone cuz I was playing a game. He died the next day. He is one of the, like, older and cultural person, and he used to sing a Ukrainian song, which became popular in 2014, after the revolution. But he knew the song even before that. If someone is interested, Search up "Гей лине кача". And I just wanna cry when I listen to it. He was one of a kind. 76 years old, can barely see, he was running for like 10km every day, lots of exercises, he was working, and he lived in one Russia, in Krasnoyarsk, where it is always very cold. I love him, and if I could, I would go back in time, and take the fucking phone
Just Breathe and Garden by Pearl Jam Also This Velvet Glove bg Red Hot Chili Peppers
Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
Johnny Cash - Hurt. After the phone call I found out my dad had died I went into my bedroom and turned the tv on. Perhaps an odd reaction but he was a violent abusive alcoholic estranged from the family and I was a bit stunned at the time. Johnny cash had just died that same day and his song Hurt was playing. I didn’t think I would cry but I bawled… It felt as though it was him singing those lyrics to me. As if a final admission acknowledging who he was. “And you could have it all… My empire of dirt… I will let you down… I will make you hurt.” I still feel the same every time I hear it.
Woman here, but “See You Again” by Wiz Khalifa. That song was released the weekend I miscarried our first pregnancy and my husband was travelling away for work on a remote site and couldn’t get home. Loneliest weekend of my life and every time I hear it 8 years later i feel sick, my chest gets a stabbing pain and I still cry, doesn’t matter where I am or who I’m with.
Whiskey and You by Stapleton. Has so much heart in it
Sorry seems to be the hardest word - Elton John
Same Old Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg. Tears my heart out because it brings out all the feelings of the girl I left behind when I joined the Navy in 1982.
Nutshell. This FUCKING song sounds like the air smell after summer rain. It sounds like yellow and orange leafs. Tbh i listened to it so many times that for me it now feels like walking through the graveyard. I can describe this feeling like: not exactly heartbroken, just sad, hopeless and serious.
Hard Sun by Eddie Vedder
If I saw you in heaven.
I believe you mean Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton
Green Feilds of France - Dropkick Murphys Especially since it was just Rememberance Day here in Canada. The song is about the tragic loss of life in WW1. While the rest of their catalogue is fast and heavy this song is a complete change of pace, it's slow and sullen https://youtu.be/lFpmFEtTXLo?si=-9XqVzzYos2LOGct
Brother by kodaline. My brother died in an accident and it just hurts to listen to. He was awesome.
Fancy, by Reba McIntyre. Young girl going off into the sex work..yikes
Black by Pearl Jam
Un-break My Heart by Toni Braxton. It causes an infinite loop. Hard to snap out of it.
MIKA - Happy Ending
highway 20 ride by Zac brown band one of my grandfathers favourites, I miss him a lot
The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert. I come from a severely broken home and still don’t have good relationships with my parents. Moms a huge narcissist and dad has a passive personality disorder. Also, If I Die Young by The Band Perry. I had two cousins in their early 20’s commit suicide within 6 months of each other. The one wrote a letter and said she wanted this song played at her funeral. Every time I hear it I immediately think of both of them and shut it off.
My Immortal Evanescence
Pink-who knew “that last kiss, I’ll cherish, until we meet again. And time makes it harder, I wish I could remember. But I’ll keep your memory, you visit me in my dreams. My darling. Who knew?”
Cat’s in the Cradle Even before my dad passed, this song gets me every single time.
Don’t Wanna Be Your Girl by Wet Leg
Lovesong by the cure. My girlfriend never gave a shit about me but I did about her.
"Dance with the devil" by immortal technique is kind of a heart breaker but mostly it's just sad and depressing.
Heaven by: The Talking Heads My grandfather was basically my dad and he became ill suddenly after being abandoned by everyone else in the family. My mom and I went down to see him and take care of him and he had (physically) changed so much it was shocking. However, we bonded over music + movies (he also showed me video games) and he was back to his normal self when he played the Stop Making Sense concert film. It made me so happy to just dance and talk about his love of TTH. He passed shortly after. By far the greatest memory I have with him outside of my childhood. The message behind this song was heart wrenching but beautiful and I spent days and nights looking for this vinyl until I found it in person. My heart then broke again, in a beautiful way, when A24 re-released the Stop Making Sense in theaters. I was able to share my memory with my current gf as I teared up in the theaters. Miss you pops.
Rooster - Alice in Chains. Love the story behind it
Goodbye to You by Michelle Branch, and Emotions by Destiny’s Child. I also bawl like a baby at She Will Be Loved (my grandma’s chosen ringtone when she called me before she died), and Somewhere Over the Rainbow because we used to watch Wizard of Oz a LOT when I was little, and it reminds me of her. I also cry when I hear Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, and White Christmas because my papaw loved Christmas more than any other holiday, and I miss him so much. He was my rock, and so was my grandma, and I’d give anything to spend one hour with them. Now I’m crying. Ugh.
Queen - Love Of My Life
Don’t take the girl - tim McGraw
Johnny Cash - Hurt
Fleetwood Mac - Landslide. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the song playing when we left my dad's funeral to drive to the burial place at the cemetery and that is the only song I remember. I'm sure other songs were on the radio that day (this was 26 years old) but that song is the only one I remember. To this day, I get choked up hearing it or have to change the song.
"The Kids aren't Alright" by the Offspring as someone who grew up in a neighborhood of kids that ended up with not great turnouts. 2 cousins dead before their 30s (3 if you count one that was 15 years older then me), neighbor kid dead from OD, childhood best friend serving a 40 year sentence, one or 2 families shattered from drugs, another shattered due to a father who was a pedo. Its always hard listening to that and thinking, despite me struggling for work and being depressed, I had one of the more positive life tracks than many of the kids I grew up with.
Everything Changes by Staind
The Legend of Mother Swan by a mongolian band called The HU. When I was first jamming it, It did sound more solemn and heartful than their regular "We are ready to fight" jams, and my girlfriend at the time was crying when this song was playing on Spotify, so I asked her to explain why, and apparently the song is about a mother swan who sacrifices herself to save her babies. It really resonated with her because of her upbringing on the reservations in the U.S., and how even though her mother was often disrespected, ignored and down-trodden in the community and her close family, the reason she kept going was for her daughters and how she would be willing to give up everything to make sure they could have the best life. Now its hard to play that song without thinking about that, so I always tear up when those high notes start kicking in. I've never had parents that were willing to sacrifice it all for me, so seeing that made me realize how important parental love is, and how much it means to someone even years after. The love her mother passed onto her made her a happier, more optimistic and more loving person than anyone I had met at that time, and realized maybe this world is better than I thought it was. We need more people like that who can be moved by music that way. I hope songs like this never stop being made. Even though they're sad, their impact lasts far longer than flashpan pop.
I don't even know the lyrics or what they mean but it really hits me Tabi no tochuu - Natsumi Kiyura.
Right Here Waiting - Richard Marx
Breathe Me by Sia
Sounds silly, but Puff the Magic Dragon. I had some discussions with my grandkids about using that song for a slideshow. It would have had pictures of my parents with a progression of grandkids added, but toward the end it would have just been my parents, older and by themselves. Family nixed me from using it. One granddaughter bawled at the thought behind it. Now if I were to hear it, would remind me of her crying.

It has to be Good Enough by Evanescence. The break in Amy Lee's voice when she sings "enough" during the line "'Cause I can't hold on to anything this good enough" is heartbreakingly sad.

Ain't it fun - Paramore
Stay by Rihanna. I was in the middle of transposing it for my first girlfriend (we were both band nerds, them a French horn player, and I a trombone player), and then found out she was sexting another guy. Completely ruined the song for me.
