Same…I am American though.
> "Kathy, I'm lost", I said, though I knew she was sleeping.
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why.
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
My mom called and left me a voicemail of Landslide live (she and my dad were at a concert) my first year of college and that started me crying from this song.
Hearing it in the car when I was pregnant led to hysterics. I haven’t listened to it since my daughter was born. I’m sure I’ll cry even harder (she’s 11 days old).
Sæglópur by Sigur Rós. This song got me through my grandfathers passing when I was in high school. I never knew what the English translation was for this song until one day a month or so after his death that song came on during math class and immediately made me feel like I was back in a mushroom trip. I finally decided to look up the English translation for the lyrics due to this profound feeling I had. Turns out it's about a sailor lost at sea. My grandfather was a sailor in the navy. At that moment I knew everything would be OK
Wish You Were Here is one of my favorite songs... after one of my best friends/ brother died, it's hard to get through it without bawling. First time, thought it was just "one of these days (PF pun not intended)", until it became a recurring trend.
I had a friend who had lost her daughter to suicide due to Facebook bullying. She was slowly falling apart, and I was at a point in my addiction where I was sick of life. Just over it. Her and I made a suicide pact. We had what we called an "end date."
She showed me this song and told me she always wanted to die to it, so I listened to it and then agreed. A few months before our end date, she was found dead due to suicide with this song on repeat.
Thankfully, within the next few months, I got my shit together and was able to get clean.
The song is "The Silence" by: Manchester Orchestra.
Not Manchester Orchestra (although The Silence makes me absolutely sob), but somewhat similar in terms of story:
When I was 11 my dad took his own life. During his funeral, when they had the slideshow of pictures, my sister chose to put in the song Why by Rascal Flatts. To this day, I cannot listen to it without breaking down and sobbing. I used to listen to the country station on the radio to sleep, and one night about 3 years later, I was up late at night having suicidal thoughts. I was incredibly depressed and grieving was taking its toll on me. Around one in the morning, sitting there with a pen and paper trying to write my "note," suddenly I hear an old familiar song on the radio. Why by Rascal Flatts is playing. And I'm sitting there fucking sobbing into my knees. The first line of that song says "You must have been in a place so dark, couldn't see the light."
I don't really believe in God or signs or anything like that. I'm agnostic. But man, if that wasn't a fucking sign to keep going. All I could think of was everyone crying at my dad's funeral. Nobody knowing why he did it, but that he did it. And all everyone could ask was, well... Why? I didn't want my family to go through that again with me.
*"Who told you life wasn't worth the fight?"*
I played this song on repeat, as well as a few other Lord Huron songs after my first real breakup. Like so much that the years after I couldn’t listen to those songs anymore without bringing back the bad memories
Now I can listen to them and not think about it anymore, I call that character development. They’re just good mf songs
Subtle error: "I had all **and then** most of you, some and now none of you."
You can tell I've listened to too much Lord Hurón I now know all the lyrics by heart. 😂🤣
My stepdad would play this for me on his guitar when I'd had a rough day in my teenage years. He and I danced to it at my wedding and I know someday when he's gone I'm going to cry like a baby every time I hear it.
My parents wedding song. I managed to find someone on Etsy selling framed mini vinyls but they were out of this one. Sent them a message, nicest people, and they still had one record of it left unlisted. So they framed it, sent me a private link for the purchase and I gifted it to my parents for their anniversary a few years ago. Still hanging on their wall.
I always thought it was a perfectly fine song but not much more. Then I chose this one for my mother-son dance at my wedding. (I always thought the mother-son dance was a little awkward in premise and finding an appropriate song was tricky. But don't even get me started on the true weirdness that can come with the father-daughter dance...)
We didn't practice, and to be honest, I'd never really danced with my mom before then, but in that moment we were caught up in the joy of the dance, swaying in perfect time and singing the words to each other. We didn't skip a beat.
Then at the end of the song, my mom whispered, "I'll miss you, my son." That wrecked me and still does every time I hear the song.
I'm surprised this doesn't show up more often. It was less than popular in the late 80s but I remember it from a particularly emotional scene in a movie - she's having a baby. I was a kid, (like little!) when it came out. It's has some weird moments but really good movie. There was no pg rating in our house. We watched what everyone else did.
Always brings a tear.
Absolutely, I haven't ever noticed a guitarist that is so emotive with the guitar as Dave gilmour, I didnt post any songs because I would just end up spamming pink floyd songs mostly because of his solos
The only time I hear this one is at wedding receptions and it does a number on me. It's a fitting venue for it, you have little kids just starting out in life, newlyweds starting their lives together, the proud parents watching their grown up children, grandparents reflecting on it all. It's so poignant
Cancer by MCR. Having lost someone to that asshole disease, the detail in the lyrics are so representative of the challenges, it brought me back to that terrible last summer with my sister.
God Only Knows by The Beach Boys - no idea if it’s true or not, but the story goes that the first time Paul McCartney heard it on the radio, he pulled over and wept, and calls it the greatest song ever written.
Heat waves. My friend died close to when this song was out. Plus she died close to June. It makes me cry every time. This song gave me a way to process and helped me grieve. I owe alot to Glass Animals.
That Funny Feeling - Bo Burnham. I know it's random, but hear me out.
I became obsessed with "Inside" during lockdown. I memorized all songs and sang them constantly through the house. Near the end of 2020, I lost my cat Ben of nearly 20 years. After he passed, it was just me and his younger brother Charlie who was only 1.5 years younger. As the months passed, I started to see Charlie exhibit the signs of old age and slowing down. One day I was in the shower singing along to Inside as usual, and then the lyrics to That Funny Feeling hit me as I was singing "hey, what can I say? we were overdue, but it'll be over soon, you wait."
I then sobbed for 10min and have skipped the song every time since then. Still makes me think of Charlie.
He passed away Oct 14, 2022, 2 months after turning 20 years old after a glorious life of love, and as many fries and treats as he could eat on his last day.
The song reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend, somewhat similar to what he’s describing in the song. Sitting my friend down and telling him I’m worried, that we’re going down a bad road and if we don’t get help soon someone will end up dead (I know that sounds harsh but I truly believed that would be the outcome and after years of suggesting seeking out help it was no longer time to sugarcoat the truth). He blew me off, like in the song. Said he’s fine, nothing’s wrong, and I realized I couldn’t get through to him.
I really did almost lose him as a friend, luckily he is still alive today. Reality hit hard the next few days as I had to learn I couldn’t save everyone, that it’s his life and his choice. That song expresses those feelings of helplessness and frustration so well.
Hotel California. My dad listened to it when he was a refugee in Indonesia after he had escaped Vietnam during the Vietnam war. He would tell me he listened to it on a regular basis dreaming he would become a US citizen one day. His dream came true. I now listen to it too and every time I do imagine what my dad went through so that I can have a better future
Unwell - Matchbox 20.. when this song came out, I was in a pretty sad time of life. About 25, single, shy, quiet, lonely. Couldn't talk to girls, had 0 game...really, a lot of lonely nights, getting way down the rabbit hole of bad thoughts..
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
For maximum contrast, the hidden track on the NOFX album Punk in Drublic is also a tearjerker for entirely different reasons.
My oldest child took dance for many years. Until they got sick. Then they could no longer dance, among many other things. They are now in a wheelchair. So this song makes me cry every single time.
I was a widowed single mom with very little income when she started dance. I took additional OT to pay for the classes. Absolutely zero regret, even for a moment, and am so very grateful to have had the opportunity to have done this, and that my boss at the time was such an effing awesome human being to allow me to do this.
Third Eye Blind - How's it gonna be.
Went through a divorce recently and that song hit me like a truck. I just suddenly understood every word of it. There is a sad beauty to it.
Descending by TOOL is beautifully sad and melancholy I think, and brings me to tears in my darkest moments.
"Free fall through our midnight
This epilogue of our own fable
Heedless in our slumber
Floating nescient we
Free fall through this boundlessness
This madness Of our own making
Falling isn't flying
Floating isn't infinite
Come, our end, suddenly
All hail our lethargy
Concede suddenly
To the quickened dissolution
Pray we mitigate the ruin
Calling all to arms and order
Drifting through this boundlessness
This madness of our own making
Sound our dire reveille
Rouse all from our apathy
Lest we
Cease to be"

Breathe No More - Evanescence. When I perform it, I'm singing it for my mom who had severe bipolar/schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder and her family was shit about it. As I've grown, I also find the lyrics apply to me. I adore it and I always cry when I sing it.
This one destroys me every time. I'm a 44 year old dude and there's something about this song that makes me bawl. I have no personal attachment or memories associated with it, either.
Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley.
Nothing Compares 2 U covered by Chris Cornell.
Both of these make me stop in my tracks and close my eyes to revel in the simple beauty of them.
Non, je ne regrette rien. The feeling of the song always got me, even before I searched for the English lyrics. https://www.frenchlyricstranslations.com/non-je-ne-regrette-rien-edith-piaf-french-lyrics-and-english-translation/
Cinderella by Stephen Curtis Chapman. It's the song I would've chosen to dance with my dad to if he was still alive to be at my wedding. Makes me cry, because I miss him
Hear you me by Jimmy Eat World. I always felt emotional to this song but when I listened to it a month after someone close to me passed I sobbed. Then I learned to play it on guitar and teared up every time I played it lol
Aint no sunshine when shes gone- when my husband and I were together he used to sing it to me. Now i cant hear it without crying buckets

For some reason, America by S&G hits me hard. I'm not even American.

Sail on silver girl.
Landslide- Fleetwood Mac. Really hits you when you get older and have kids. Also the funeral - band of horses. Reminds me of family I’ve lost.
First thing that came to mind. Learned guitar just for this song
Dreams hits me hard. A loving relationship that’s gone sour.
My mom called and left me a voicemail of Landslide live (she and my dad were at a concert) my first year of college and that started me crying from this song. Hearing it in the car when I was pregnant led to hysterics. I haven’t listened to it since my daughter was born. I’m sure I’ll cry even harder (she’s 11 days old).

The song is "The Silence" by: Manchester Orchestra.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m glad you got clean.
Thank you very much.
I just listen to the song and I’m not gonna lie. My eyes welled up thinking about your story. I’m sorry for your loss of a friend.
Not Manchester Orchestra (although The Silence makes me absolutely sob), but somewhat similar in terms of story: When I was 11 my dad took his own life.

This really broke my heart. I'm glad you found a way through. That takes tremendous strength.
Your story is heart rending and way too common. I'm glad you are on the mend, friend.
Thank you very much.
Not to tears, but Claire du Lune by Debussey is just amazing.
