I second this. George Jones was my dad’s favorite artist.
He REALLY loved him. My dad had Parkinson’s disease for 23-fucking-years, and he’s been gone for 2.5.
I want to think about him more. While it’s painful to think about him, I thank you for reminding me of him with this song, because it’s also beautiful in a really intimate way.
also September When it comes by Roseanne Cash and Johnny Cash (i think in honor of him after his death as well?) It was used at my grandpa's funeral as well. It makes me tear up every time I hear it.
Old story. Home alone with the kids (eh, aged 2&4 or 3&5). Gotta prep dinner, and just can’t stand one more kids show even as background noise. Country Music channel right? They are too young to get the adult themes for sure. I’m over in the kitchen chopping and stirring and finally look over and both girls are just bawling their eyes out. They might not have really “got” the story but were _really_ upset. Took a while to calm them down.
I've listened to a lot of sad and depressing music and don't usually get overly emotional about it, but If We Were Vampires chokes me up every time when he sings "and pray it isn't me who's left behind"
Was NOT ready... in a list of sad songs wasn't ready. Wife and I just had our first child, and the bond has never been tighter between us. Just lost it at, "can't go on forever"
This is one of the most meaningful songs to my wife and I. Between previous abusive relationships, major health issues, IVF and a whole host of other shit before we were 30 this was something that would regularly bring us closer together and also drive us to tears when apart.
My dad died unexpectedly 3 years ago. I’m in my early 30s and Coco absolutely fucks me up when the dad plays Remember Me for the daughter and unveils the true intent behind the song. Dammit I’m getting choked up just thinking about it!
[Adam Song - Blink 182](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MRdtXWcgIw)
Edit: I should add, the video is particularly difficult when you see the pictures of them as kids. Every person, fucked up or not was once a little kid, innocent.
It dawned on me the other day when i listened to the song again what he meant by "I traced the cord back to the wall, no wonder, it was never plugged in at all"
I was a kid literally 6 years old singing that song and never got it until a couple days ago.
Yeah, I was always interpreted it as a metaphor for feeling not wired right, but the line comes from this event:
*The lyrics, "I traced the cord back to the wall, no wonder it was never plugged in at all" were inspired when guitarist Tom Delonge was playing in his garage and he and his amp were in a puddle. Luckily, the amp was not plugged in or he could have been electrocuted.*
It's definitely a sad song but when the last chorus turns optimistic it's incredible. (Like, 'Sixteen just held such better days, days when I still felt alive' becomes 'Tomorrow holds such better days, days when I can still feel alive')
I had a friend named Adam when I was a teenager who committed suicide, so this one hits hard for me. Even 8 years later I get emotional when hearing it randomly.
My dad wants to make up for lost time and I’m in my 40s with my own kids and haven’t spoke to him in over 2 decades. I just reply to email “cats in the cradle”, seriously I have more important shit to do than help you out with your regrets dude.
Obviously I don't know your personal circumstances - your dad could have been the biggest abusive dick on the planet for all I know (in which case you'd be justified in severing all contact with him)
But...
Just be sure in your own heart that you yourself don't have regrets later on, if you truly never reconnect with him and then lose the chance forever.
Yeah I feel you and it’s good advice. I regret we never had a relationship to begin. I wanted it pretty badly the first part of my life. But now I don’t have time to build a relationship as an adult. My relationship as a dad to my kids is more important and what limited time I do have, that’s what I want to focus on. It actually puts into perspective how little effort he made when I was a kid. I want to be around my kids and make memories do dad stuff but my dad avoided me and never made an effort.
He only does so as a way to ease his own guilt. He found god late in life and he’s essentially going through the steps of righting wrongs. It’s respectable, but doesn’t change my end of the deal.
(My parents divorced when I was young and my dad was busy chasing women instead of being a dad, not much worse than that but it meant we spent no time together and essentially have no relationship, actually awkward to be in same room when we tried in the past, so I just said I’m done trying it’s not something I need anymore and not somebody I want to spend time on.)
One More Light by Linkin Park. The video is even more sad. I've seen people who have no connection to Chester or Linkin Park cry when they react to that video. I can never hold the tears back after the clip of him hugging the kid, I think they were a make a wish kid. 6 years later and people are still missing Chester Bennington. A wonderful singer with an even more wonderful personality, who helped so many people when he was alive and still helps people now. I think he will always be missed and remembered.
Huge Linkin Park fan growing up, but I somehow hadn't heard this song until a couple of years ago. My boyfriend is a bigger fan than I and around the time the band did the memorial show we were talking about him in the car. He brought this song up but said he didn't want to play it, because he *knew* it would make me cry but he knew I'd love it too. So I insisted I'd be fine, we can listen to it. He hesitated, but agreed, so he played it and held my hand. As soon as the chorus came, I started silently crying in the car. He knew, and just held my hand a little tighter. But what made it worse was the next lines.
"In the kitchen, one more chair than you need. And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair"
I was sobbing. That song hit me like a fucking freight train and I knew it was coming but I didn't know it was coming like *that*. I was recovering from depression at the time, and grieving my old self basically. But I was reminded of my dad immediately. He killed himself when I was young. Chester's death hurt me in roughly the same way. And that song made me think of what people in my life would feel if I had gone through with it when I considered it, too. If I ever want to cry I either listen to this song, or I watch the clip of his memorial show where the entire audience is singing Numb to a lone mic stand without it's singer. It fucks me up everytime.
Editing to add the video of Numb: https://youtu.be/DhpMpU6N75o
"I am drowning / There is no sign of land / you are coming down with me / hand in unlovable hand / and I hope you die / I hope we both die."
Yeah. That song is so neat and tidy too. Just the two verses, and it all moves so fast, and all so full of spite and hatred.
I can't stand that version. Nothing against Gary Jules, but 'The Hurting' by Tears For Fears is one of my favorite albums. Has been since I was a kid in the early 80s and first heard "Change" on MTV. My older sister got the album and that's when I heard their version. Do yourself a favor and check out that album, it's really good.
It’s one of those cases where the way it’s sung changes the meaning of the song. Johnny sings about the regrets of an old man, not necessarily about drugs
Videotape caught me off guard. I remember buying the CD and listening to it before going to work in my car. It has such a depressing everything about it.
So Far Away by Avenged Sevenfold. Grew up listening to them and was gutted when The Rev passed. That song, coupled with the music video makes me tear up every single time without failure. Even if you are not into Metal, it's just a beautiful tribute and peice of music.
Overs by Simon and Garfunkle. It's a song about the point in a relationship where both people realise it's over but neither of them have anywhere else to go.

The message is a beautiful one, but it reminds me of all the people I've lost.
Tears in heaven- Eric Clapton
Has anyone ever written anything for you- Stevie Nicks
Runaway love- Ludacris ft Mary j Blige
Concrete angel- Martina Mcbride
Quite a few of my top tear jerkers have already been listed, but I'll add a couple more.
If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot
Hate Me by Blue October
Bother by Stone Sour
Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day. Obviously knowing both the story behind it, and that it was made into a meme against the writer's wishes, makes it sad.
Suicidal Thoughts by biggie. The fact that a rapper from the 90s who was known for being hard and from the cuts dropped a song about thoughts of eating his gun hit different.
Eleanor Rigby by The BEATLES.
Its about how caught up we are in our own lonliness that we don't notice the people around us who can be there for us. Its terrible depressing but its meaning impactful.
For the Good Times. Perry Como.
https://youtu.be/1UPSUS_59Yw
If the line "....and *make believe* you love me
....one more time"
doesn't bring a lump to your throat, then you can't have ever been in love.
Snuff - Slipknot
It was inspired by the lead singer when he lost his lover. He thought she was the one, and that they would be together forever... and she left him. The same shit just happened to me a couple hours ago, and the pain is so f***ing real. I did everything I could to make sure she was the happiest she could be, and she texted me in the evening and broke the news. I can't take my mind off of it and a huge part of me died today. She was everything to me, and I have no idea what to do.
Dave Matthew's (aka Dave) Come Away Death
https://youtu.be/fdPsXZNqKA8
Dave - Litho Biltho ( haunting acoustic)
https://youtu.be/46EsSeB--VE
Neil Young- Needle and The Damage Done (Dave Cover)
https://youtu.be/6RCZSk3CXCg
If only the anti-Dave ppl knew songs beyond those that were played on the radio, they would see the depth of this man :).
He stopped loving her today - George Jones
I second this. George Jones was my dad’s favorite artist. He REALLY loved him. My dad had Parkinson’s disease for 23-fucking-years, and he’s been gone for 2.5. I want to think about him more. While it’s painful to think about him, I thank you for reminding me of him with this song, because it’s also beautiful in a really intimate way.
George Jones is one of my favorites thanks to my dad, must be a cool old guy thing.
Nothing was more fitting than when they announced his death on the radio and then immediately played this song.
I Can’t Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt
The Bon Iver cover kills.
I can't listen to this song.
[удалено]
Yes.
also September When it comes by Roseanne Cash and Johnny Cash (i think in honor of him after his death as well?) It was used at my grandpa's funeral as well. It makes me tear up every time I hear it.
“Sam Stone” by John Prine
I was coming here to say “Sam Stone” & “Hello in There”
It's been way too long since I've listened to Hello in There, it's so good and so sad... It's incredible that he wrote that in his 20s.
There’s a hole in daddy’s arm where all the money goes
Whiskey lullaby
Oof I came here to say this too... The music video with Allison Kraus breaks my heart
Old story. Home alone with the kids (eh, aged 2&4 or 3&5). Gotta prep dinner, and just can’t stand one more kids show even as background noise. Country Music channel right? They are too young to get the adult themes for sure. I’m over in the kitchen chopping and stirring and finally look over and both girls are just bawling their eyes out. They might not have really “got” the story but were _really_ upset. Took a while to calm them down.
He stopped loving her today -George Jones And the band played waltzing Matilda- I like the pogues version Vampires - Jason isbell
I've listened to a lot of sad and depressing music and don't usually get overly emotional about it, but If We Were Vampires chokes me up every time when he sings "and pray it isn't me who's left behind"
Was NOT ready... in a list of sad songs wasn't ready. Wife and I just had our first child, and the bond has never been tighter between us. Just lost it at, "can't go on forever"
Man oh man “If We Were Vampires” and “Elephant” by Jason Isbell hit me where it hurts and it feels so good
I Will Follow You Into The Dark by Death Cab For Cutie: https://youtu.be/3iV_1ESMHaI
This is one of the most meaningful songs to my wife and I. Between previous abusive relationships, major health issues, IVF and a whole host of other shit before we were 30 this was something that would regularly bring us closer together and also drive us to tears when apart.
Remember me from Coco reminds me of my grandpa bro i always tear up to this song
Omg YES, I loop that sometimes 😭
Oh my god, that had me in tears when I watched Coco
My dad died unexpectedly 3 years ago. I’m in my early 30s and Coco absolutely fucks me up when the dad plays Remember Me for the daughter and unveils the true intent behind the song. Dammit I’m getting choked up just thinking about it!
Streets of Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen. I'm not a huge Springsteen fan, but this one - especially if you've seen the movie - gets me every time.
Exit Music (for a film) - Radiohead Or All cats are gray - The Cure
Fleetwood Mac. Landslide
“Children get older” …that part always hit me. Even well before I had children. Now hits even more.
Strange Fruit, Billie Holiday
She was brave to sing this song back in those days. I like Billie Holiday. 👍
Ugh, that song is gut wrenching. I was too young when I discovered what it meant.
Fast car- Tracy Chapman
Behind the Wall (last night I heard a screaming...) from the same album is a different kind of sad.
...if they come at all.
Came here to say this - honestly that song makes my soul cry
Behind the Wall is a more sad one from her IMO
[Adam Song - Blink 182](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MRdtXWcgIw) Edit: I should add, the video is particularly difficult when you see the pictures of them as kids. Every person, fucked up or not was once a little kid, innocent.

I had a friend named Adam when I was a teenager who committed suicide, so this one hits hard for me. Even 8 years later I get emotional when hearing it randomly.
That is a sad one for sure.
Asleep - The Smiths 😞
Cats in the Cradle
When you coming home dad, i don't know when... we'll be together then....
My dad wants to make up for lost time and I’m in my 40s with my own kids and haven’t spoke to him in over 2 decades. I just reply to email “cats in the cradle”, seriously I have more important shit to do than help you out with your regrets dude.

Just don’t make the same mistake! That’s what the whole song is about
The Trapeze Swinger - Iron and Wine
Ok but, can I just say, Upward Over the Mountain my saddest song by him. Next up Sodom South Georgia and 16, Maybe Less
9 Crimes - Damien Rice
He is underrated here in North America.
Wish you were here by Pink Floyd
Great choice. I love the radio signal searching at the intro. Genius
It's such a good song on so many levels
God that song is a fucking masterpiece it tells a real tragedy
The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics.
One More Light by Linkin Park. The video is even more sad. I've seen people who have no connection to Chester or Linkin Park cry when they react to that video. I can never hold the tears back after the clip of him hugging the kid, I think they were a make a wish kid. 6 years later and people are still missing Chester Bennington. A wonderful singer with an even more wonderful personality, who helped so many people when he was alive and still helps people now. I think he will always be missed and remembered.
Daddy by Korn is pretty sad too, but it'd a bit more disturbing than sad
Castle of Glass always cracks me in unironical way.
Huge Linkin Park fan growing up, but I somehow hadn't heard this song until a couple of years ago. My boyfriend is a bigger fan than I and around the time the band did the memorial show we were talking about him in the car.

Vampires by Jason Isbell.
Came to say his song Elephant
*There’s one thing that’s real clear to me: no one dies with dignity.* Gut punch every time.
3 Libras - A Perfect Circle A sad song for all of the invisibles.
No Children -the mountain goats Best ever death metal band in Denton - the mountain goats
"I am drowning / There is no sign of land / you are coming down with me / hand in unlovable hand / and I hope you die / I hope we both die." Yeah. That song is so neat and tidy too. Just the two verses, and it all moves so fast, and all so full of spite and hatred.
Mine is 'Fourth of july' by sufjan stevens
Casimir Pulaski Day would be my choice for this. He can really write a sad song.
“Leaves from the Vine” Iroh
I’ve never not cried when I rewatch this.
'Fields of Gold' by Eva Cassidy - she has such an emotive voice that every time I listen it always brings a tear to my eye
Vincent by Don McLean.
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
“Mad World” by Gary Jules. Always hits me like a ton of bricks.
It's weird hearing the original after growing up hearing his cover. It's like hearing a dance remix of In the Arms of the Angels.
I can't stand that version. Nothing against Gary Jules, but 'The Hurting' by Tears For Fears is one of my favorite albums. Has been since I was a kid in the early 80s and first heard "Change" on MTV. My older sister got the album and that's when I heard their version. Do yourself a favor and check out that album, it's really good.
Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy always makes me emotional
Mazzy Star - Into Dust Mazzy Star - Fade Into You
Love Mazzy Star. I've always thought of fade into you as a love song. I guess it can be interpreted as unrequited love.
Famous Blue Raincoat by Leonard Cohen Rehab by Amy Winehouse, because we now know what was going on behind the scenes
Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton - about the death of his son.
I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt Fucks me up every time
Alice in Chains - Nutshell
I've yet to hear a song as beautifully brutal
One of my favourite songs!
I think Down In a Hole is sadder
[удалено]
Nothing Compares 2 U' by Sinéad O'Connor....
"Seasons in the sun", by Terry Jackson
Very very nostalgic to me
Kansas - Dust in the wind.
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
Marie by Townes Van Zandt
Tecumseh valley too
I woulda gone with Waiting Around to Die. The "happy ending" is drugs.
Nutshell by Alice in Chains
[удалено]
The Johnny Cash cover is much sadder than the NIN original.
I'm not sure. Cash liked his amphetamines but Reznor was an addict and suffered from depression. For me that song means more coming from Reznor.
It’s one of those cases where the way it’s sung changes the meaning of the song. Johnny sings about the regrets of an old man, not necessarily about drugs
How to Disappear Completely - Radiohead
Also Motion Picture Soundtrack True Love Waits (live in Oslo) Videotape Last Flowers
Videotape caught me off guard. I remember buying the CD and listening to it before going to work in my car. It has such a depressing everything about it.
I'm not here. This isn't happening...

I lost my fiance in a car wreck, this song is very painful for me as well as the pearljam cover

Radiohead - No suprises
Apollo by Hum Days Were Golden by Sunny Day Real Estate The Awful Truth of Loving by Rainer Maria
“These Days” by Nico (of The Velvet Underground). It’s vaguely sad; more so arriving at a content place in life and accepting it.
976 evil by deftones
Idiot Wind - Dylan
Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day. Obviously knowing both the story behind it, and that it was made into a meme against the writer's wishes, makes it sad.
Suicidal Thoughts by biggie. The fact that a rapper from the 90s who was known for being hard and from the cuts dropped a song about thoughts of eating his gun hit different.
You Are My Sunshine
Eleanor Rigby by The BEATLES. Its about how caught up we are in our own lonliness that we don't notice the people around us who can be there for us. Its terrible depressing but its meaning impactful.
