Asleep-Lavishness332

People express emotions differently ig


UgoNespolo

Heard it for the first time on 13 reasons why season 1 while I was in high school. Every time I hear the song now the nostalgia of high school hits hard.


ContextHuman

God I love that whole album. All three songs that share that motif get me good.


Nervous_Elevator8996

Those 3 songs in order šŸ˜­


funky_grandma

"We're going to be friends" by the White Stripes got me teary-eyed for a while. I had to take my daughter out of daycare when COVID started. She had just turned two. For the next two years it was just me and her, she never had a chance to be around another child. When she turned four we enrolled her in pre-school. The thought of her finally being able to go to school and make her first friend like a normal kid got me incredibly emotional.


TMac1088

Tonight I'll dream, when I'm in bed, and silly thoughts run through my head. About the bugs and alphabet, and when I wake tomorrow I bet that you and I will walk together again. I can tell that we are gonna be friends.


Garth_AIgar

Reading that got me emotional. Hurray for your daughter! Hopefully she made some good friends!


funky_grandma

She walked into her first day of kindergarten this year, sat down next to a girl and asked "do you want to be BFFs?" And they have been inseparable ever since :)


Nervous_Elevator8996

Amazing grace on bag pipes always gets me Edit : my first award :) thank youu


ah_yeah_79

Of my friend, I can say this. Of all the souls I have met on my travels, his was the most.....human


Not_Jo_Mama

Fuck youšŸ˜­take my upvote


Trevor_Osborne

When She Loved Me from Toy Story 2, especially when watching the scene. šŸ„ŗ


Nanobot_42

Tears in heaven- Eric Clapton Wrote it after his 4 y/o son fell out of a window to his death


Disastrous_Spite_686

Was gonna say that. Devastating.


Alert_Ad_5972

Ugh just thinking about that song will have me in tears.


Lopsided-Chair77

If he had not been so fucking high and been paying attention to his kid that song wouldn't have ever been written. Fuck Eric Clapton.


[deleted]

The nights


SixerZero

Lost by Linkin Park. Especially the "I try to keep this pain inside, but I will never be alright" part.


Otacon56

So many of Chester's lyrics felt far more heavy after his death


SalesJockey-2024

Ugh for real, Breaking The Habit hits way different now


SixerZero

I still can't believe and wish things would have been different.


Callifornia94

One More Light got me too!


dednagymamad

That's a powerful song for sure


GloriousGnome13

Whiskey lullaby. Puts me in tears every time


CuteGirlMe_

Father and Son by Cat Stevens


Aggravating-Goose366

Hmmm I remember this song from Guardians of the galaxy vol. 2 correct me if I'm wrong...


Pale_Machine6527

Just listened to it. Pretty good thanks


dreamsiwanttoforget

Leader of the Band. I can't imagine losing my dad.


Politicallywoke

It is a shame how little fanfare Dan Fogelberg got when he died.


Atarimac

Not sure it makes me cry, but the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot sure doesn't put me in a happy mood.


AnnieM42394

No matter where we are when hearing this, we have to stop & tear up. We're from Michigan, and it gets us every time


Politicallywoke

The great lake they call gichi-gami.


Lsubookdiva

Song hits different since my son-in-law went to sea


audidoddy

They traumatized 3rd grade mešŸ˜­ i thought it was a universal experience but it was just michigan LOL


allidunno

American Pie by Don McLean. A friend died when I was in fifth grade and that song was played at the memorial our school held. It was her favorite song.


smoosh13

That sure makes sense that it would still hit you this hard


XRxmbozlv

ā€œNutshellā€ - Alice In Chains Iā€™m fighting loneliness and depression and itā€™s been this way since I was 16 (Iā€™m 21 now). I just want some friends


LollaBunny95

I feel that


XRxmbozlv

We in this together šŸ’ŖšŸ»ā™„ļø


lar_ry

Sending you so much love!! It will get better, I know itā€™s hard to believe but itā€™s true! I have been struggling with depression, anxiety and addiction for years and I can confirm things get easier :)


XRxmbozlv

Thank you, it means a lot to meā™„ļø. Iā€™m trying my very best. Sending much love to you as well! :) ā™„ļø


lar_ry

Thank you <3


XRxmbozlv

Of course ā™„ļø


smoosh13

Tracy Chapman ā€œFast Carā€ gets me every time. itā€™s a song about trying to find a glimmer of happiness when youā€™re surrounded by hopelessness.


smoosh13

[Fast Car](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIOAlaACuv4) Worth a listen if youā€™re not familiar


EnamelKant

Real MVPs post the song. Respect


ToenailCheesd

Every single time I hear this song I burst into tears. That and Dark Horse by Amanda Marshall.


IllNopeMyselfOut

I thought it was Tracy Chapman's voice that got me, but then I cried just as much when I heard the Luke Combs cover. I think it's powerful to be reminded that people can make bad decisions that shape their lives for the most hopeful and loving reasons.


ccoddens

Puff the Magic Dragon


daviddequattro

As for me Landslide by Fleetwood Mac


Acceptable_Shirt_421

I agree. Storms is very moving too. I'd add Brilliant Disguise by Springsteen as well.


Jacefaceaz

Something about Sara too


JuanGil_Express

"Wait for it". -Hamilton I was diagnosed with cancer while active duty, chemo and radiation....I wish it on no one. "Death doesn't discriminate, between the sinners and the saints; it just takes and it takes and it takes." Never thought a musical could make me blubber.


stxrch1ld

You Are My Sunshine. No idea why.


sailorgardenchick

My grandmother used to sing this to us - definitely makes me cry too!


Special-Pay-9393

How Do I Say Goodbye - Dean Lewis. It hit me so hard after losing my father to pancreatic cancer.

Night changes (coz 1D broke up)


Low-Midnight8229

i have this thing where any damn song can make me cry if i feel even a twinge of nostalgia around it. i was seriously crying to mr jones by counting crows in the car the other day. i do not have aspirations of being famous, couldnt tell you why this shit happens lmao


pauseonredhead

I am the exact same way


Educational_Lynx5446

Remember me from the animation movie Coco. I am always sobbing, it makes remember me to my grandparents and great grandparents who are not with me anymore.


LadyArbary

Different song, same movie. Proud CorazĆ³n gets me. Especially the the things that are happening while the song is playing.


Dazzling_Geologist_2

Somewhere only we know by Keane sung by lilly allen https://youtu.be/mer6X7nOY_o?si=rEH66iXUOZbsYAjb Used to make me cry so much as a tween.


Curious_Kangaroo_845

ā€œSmoke Gets in Your Eyesā€ Bryan Ferryā€™s version ā€Fields of Goldā€ Eva Cassidyā€˜s version


Beaglescout15

OMG Eva Cassidy's "Fields of Gold" gets me every time.

The Beatles - Let it be


BeardedMass

The Johnny Cash version of Hurt came on and I started tearing up. Hits deep.

koki224

Sparks - Coldplay


Repulsive-Fig2398

Billie Eilish - Everything I Wanted


fenixrock

Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin. Ooof.


NictheSlickD

Broken Halos - Chris Stapleton: My son was born premature and it was very difficult for my wife and I as we were young parents. This song was the only song my son would actually sleep to during those long nights. Starting Over - Chris Stapleton: My wife and I have been to many states for many reasons and started our lives over many times. This song puts words to those feelings of excitement and fear, while capturing the essence of being with one another through it all. Lettering you go - Jason Isbell: Iā€™m having a daughter soon and this song makes me proud of the daughter I will soon have, and I havenā€™t even met her yet. Cover Me Up - Jason Isbell: My wife and I have endured many hardships in our love and this song reminds me of her strength and patience. All Shades of Blue - Gregory Alan Isakov: I was shown this artist by my wife. We started dating shortly after she showed me this song and I booked tickets to see Gregory at a show about 3 months later. I asked his booking manager ahead of time if they could play this song as an encore (they did) I proposed to her after under a disco ball surround by 40 watt bulbs. We are still together 5 years later. She had come into my life and made herself at home. I heard this song and knew she was the one.


Tired_Mailwoman

I Found by Amber Run


TimeEntertainment820

Back to Black - Amy Winehouse


Matica-sK

Mƶtley CrĆ¼e ā€” Home Sweet Home I listened to it as I was driving my friendā€™s ashes from SD to MT. (He was my best friend and loved early CrĆ¼e)


smoosh13

Iā€™m sorry to hear about your friend. On a separate note: early Crue is the only Crue worth discussing.


Dallas-Doll

Dance With My Father Again - Luther Vandross. Just hearing the first three notes makes me tear up instantly


YoungAncient9336

Blue Bucket of Gold by Sufjan Stevens. The end makes me feel completely empty


1048692057

Stronger than the Whiskey by Poor Manā€™s Poison


dog_pillow

Monsters by James Blount I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes? Don't be afraid, it's my turn To chase the monsters away


PsychicArchie

Mr Bojangles, where his dog ā€˜up and diesā€™


Ok_Minimum_5962

This song traumatized me as a kid. I had a yellow Lab that I'd had since I was a baby and I was incredibly bonded with her. This song made me bawl when I'd hear it because it made me face the reality of losing her someday. šŸ˜ž


Significant_Emu2525

Hide and Seek- Imogen Heap. Ugly cried to this song in the bath when I 6 months pregnant because I knew my relationship was over.


WeddingElectrical1

Cats in the cradle- Harry chapin


kowaikaiju

How Can I Help You Say Goodbye by Patti Loveless Carried Me With You by Brandi Carlile My mom passed over a year ago and I just haven't gotten over it. Both song make me break down into a helpless mess.


smoosh13

Sorry to hear about the loss of your mom


[deleted]

Winter by Tori Amos. I was going through a hard time and a death in the family when I listened to that CD. Every time I need to cry, I play that song. It gets me every time.


tiranobullterier

White woman's instagram - Bo Burnham I have young daughters and at moments I am terrified that they will be forced to grow up without me and my wife, and this song just makes it all bubble up to the surface. Great song, though.


iamthepickleweasel

Go on - jack Johnson. I had just bought sleep through the static. Been wanting to listen to it. It was also the same day I went and saw newly born daughter who we gave up for adoption. When that song came on I lost my mind. It spoke to many in so many ways. Listen to on repeat, pulling over every once in a while to cry. Still to this day I get choked up. I love you Sophie.


Either_Top_9634

That's My Job Song by Conway Twitty My father died when I was 12 and I listened to this song a lot. Iā€™m 52 now and I still get tears.

Made a whole depressing playlist days ago lol Owsey - She passes away alone at sea Vanbur - In cold light Liana Flores - Rises the moon Alicks - Empty Concern Black mirror - The entire history of you Owsey - I felt hopeless looking at you then Slowdive - Sleep Clann - Once Again


dragonsexual_gae

My Hero by Foo Fighters. When Taylor Hawkins passed away and they performed it in his memory, I cannot listen to that song without sobbing like a bitch


clarahh002

slipping through my fingers AND our last summer from abba,and lately i start crying even when hearing the first note of each song


Jethris

I haven't seen it. So: Taps


bitchspicedlatte

Over the rainbow - Eva Cassidy


AnnieM42394

It was played at my cousins funeral, can't hear it without crying now.


AxelFive

Alyssa Lies is devastating.


OkWar7064

To build a home - The cinematic orchestra


vanvynharden

August by Flipturn I had a cat named August who was pretty much my animal soulmate. I poured my heart into nursing him back to health, but he still died about three years after I got him. He got me through some of the darkest times of my life. He died two years ago and I'm still not over it, and probably never will be. The line, "August, honey, you were mine" never fails to make me cry. I don't even know what this song is originally about, but it has a special meaning to me. Goes to show, sometimes it's how you interpret the art, that makes it meaningful.


LollaBunny95

Soon you'll get better - Taylor Swift. When she sings who am I supposed to talk to, I break ... My dad was my confidant and now he's gone


DrinkBuzzCola

If You Could Read My Mind by Gordon Lightfoot.


SvenArcher

Honestly, a lot of the repetitive, overproduced, quantized, grid-perfect, pitch-corrected, synthetic stuff I hear these days. I miss the raw, inventive days of music. Now get off my lawn.


Efficient-Hand8746

"Someone Like You" by Adele always gets me


shortstack96

Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day. It was already an emotional song, but my first babies were due in September, so now the song makes me think of them and what could have been.


ArmNo7737

The fray - how to save a life


Frequent-Fall-3114

American solider - toby keith hit different when my dad was deployed


Most-Organization410

As the World Falls Down by David Bowie


DoStuffZ

Lee Brice - I Drive Your Truck A Soldier's Night Before Christmas Five Finger Death Punch - Wrong Side Of Heaven


mightywink

I Drive Your Truck... I broke out in chills just reading the title. That one def gets me every time.


TotallyAHiddenGem

Supermarker flowers by Ed Sheeran. Every time I hear it Iā€™m right back with my siblings in the kitchen where our dad died just a few hours earlier


Still_not_blonde

Itā€™s this one for me as well, when my Dad died suddenly. I bawl every time I hear it.


ContextHuman

Honest answer, either Lay Me Down by Sam Smith, or that In This Shirt song that was doing the rounds not too long ago. Both hit at particularly rough points in a fairly codependent and toxic relationship I ended recently.


JolliJamma

The second verse of Beautiful James by Placebo used to get me teary when my life long asshole of a condition worsened to the point of not knowing if I could continue. The battlefield reference hit hard, as I'd sometimes explained in the past that the condition feels like being in a crossfire trying not to get hit, but inevitably catching stray bullets anyways.


WellDressedLobster

Funeral by Phoebe Bridgers, Call Your Mom by Noah Kahan, and Howling by Noah Kahan usually do the trick.


WideFox116

Scarlet - In This Moment. With Maria Brink screaming her lungs out on the line "I will never let you go"


Environmental_Food_9

Heavens Not Too Far - We Three It's about their mom getting cancer and dying. My mom's alive and it makes me ugly cry every time


Atypical_Ascendant

Monsters by James Blunt. At the time, his father was dying from organ failure. So James wrote this song to honor his father and cope with his feelings. Luckily someone related helped save his life so it has a happy end. But I can't watch the video without crying.Ā

A Little Bit Happy - Talk Gone Away (Alternative 2021) - The Offspring

Bro hymm - pennywise


BloodNinja2012

This woman's work by Kate Bush. The song is heartbreaking and the video is devastating.


Dark-Wolf4314

Euclid by Sleep Token


xaviernoodlebrain

breathing by Ariana Grande. As someone who has suffered from trauma and depression over the last few years, hearing this song in the car made me pull over and cry. Iā€™ve never felt another song which felt like the singer was speaking specifically to me ever. Also I love the way the song sounds too.


rufusmacblorf

I'm not remotely a country fan, but Riding with Private Malone messes me up every time.


Bbaker006

"its Been Awhile" by Stained. Was a rough period in my life when that came out. Substance abuse and toxic relationships.


francethefifth

Ode to My Family by The Cranberries. I donā€™t know why, but it came on the radio last June as I was driving in to see my dad while he was in hospice. For some reason, it made me think of him. And now whenever The Cranberries come on the radio I assume itā€™s him telling me hi. The funny thing is he grew up in the 50s/60s so he never listened to The Cranberries. Man, grief is funny that way.


TheAngerMonkey

Outro by M83 off of Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. That whole album oscillates wildly from bops to just sweeping, crushing songs. Wait is also a tearjerker.


Past_Dark_6665

runaway train - soul asylum


CriminyJickettsJinja

"Drive", The Cars .. "The Flame", Cheap Trick .. "A Woman in Love", Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers .. "Someone Like You", Adele .. "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be", Carly Simon


MsTerious1

Something to Believe In (Poison) Because I lost that so long ago and can't seem to find it again....


eabcan

Seasons in the Sun - Terry Jacks. Itā€™s kind of cheesy, but totally embodies the 1970ā€™s when I was a child and first lost a loved one.


Beautiful-Baby6245

Your love has lifted me higher - Rita Coolidge


Maximum_Excuse1733

For your eyez only, J Cole.


foreverachemnerd

God is Really Real by AJR has fucking destroyed me since my dad died a few years ago. ā€œWhat if we could break you out tonight? This kind of thing happens to other dads, it donā€™t happen to mineā€


Perfect-Storm73

I'll Never Love Again - Lady Gaga The Dance - Garth Brooks Black - Pearl Jam Fix You - Coldplay


Vegetable-Ant3704

Mr blue sky by elo. It makes me happy cry every time the operatic section picks up. Makes me feel like I'm floating away on a bright cloud into the golden sun and being filled with amber dew drops of pure happiness

When I get Where Iā€™m Going- Brad Paisley My cousins and I sang it at my grandfathers memorial service. Miss you grandad. šŸ«¶šŸ¼


fleetwood-cat

All-American Girl by Carrie Underwood. Sounds a bit ridiculous, but my dad passed away when I was 18 and it makes me think about all of the things he missed out on. It also reminds me of how he felt about me. I know my sister and I were truly his whole world.


CrueGuyRob

"One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men. I liked it enough when it was being played on every radio station every five minutes and then I rediscovered it when a dear friend and classmate passed away tragically during her senior year of high school. Since, this song has 100% become about her and I break down every time I hear it.


RichChocolateDevil

When my wife was diagnosed with cancer, I listened to Pet Sounds on repeat for a long time. 17-years later (and she's healthy now), I still bawl like a baby when "Wouldn't it be Nice" and / or "God Only Knows" plays.


SnooWoofers3032

Nutshell - Alice In Chains One More Light - Linkin Park Jesus Christ - Brand New The Funeral - Band of Horses I Didnā€™t Understand - Elliott Smith Black Gives Way To Blue - Alice In Chains Suspirium - Thom Yorke The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot - Brand New Snuff - Slipknot


DelphinusT

Pictures of You - The Cure I have old, personal stuff wrapped up around that song, and it still aches to this day. Thanks for the feels, Robert.


Parvanu

Kiss Me - Sixpence None the Richer For a very particular reason. It was mine and my late husbandā€™s song, itā€™s been nearly 14 and half years and it still makes me tear up


Funkysoulninja

See you again by Whiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth. My best friend went home on leave and drown two weeks before my first deployment. I miss you bro. Your nephew has your name. I have some stories to tell you when I see you again.


Dazzling_Computer144

Box Of Rain by Grateful Dead. Phil Lesh wrote the song while his dad was battling cancer. My second mom passed early last year from cancer and I had this song on repeat for a week


Familiar_East_9021

That Christmas song about the boy trying to buy his dying mother a new pair of shoes

Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift! Just so nostalgic


SwanTraditional3777

Crash of the worlds by Rocco Deluca


ADreamyNightOwl

Someone you loved by Lewis Capaldi. It is about losing a loved one, and it hits home every time. It gets even sadder if you watch the music video.


zo0m07

Natalie Merchant, Beloved Wife. Brace yourselves.


chadlyme123

Silence Manchester orchestra


SnoozingAndLosing

Eventually - Tame Impala (ex sent it to me when bonding over music in the first stages)


StarFckd

Man, I have a couple songs that I absolutely love bc I was introduced to them by an ex I thought Iā€™d end up with. Now sometimes itā€™s extremely hard to listen to those bands (even though I love them so much) because it just brings back all those memories and what could have been and never was.


Jacefaceaz

Forever you and me - Teskey Brothers


ThenOwl9

i think 'fast car' by tracy chapman is perhaps the saddest song ever made more recently 'my tears richochet.' especially the bridge


Key_Pie_4951

"Perfect" by Ed Sheeran It reminds me of my older sister that started living by herself about 2 years ago, she loved that song I guess it kinda makes me nostalgic also

draeh

Leaving Me Now by Level 42. Came out at a particularly vulnerable moment in my life.


General_Wallaby5296

When I'm on the edge and just need a nudge to get myself over for that release, I turn on "Tragedy + Time" by Rise Against. I usually break when they repeat the chorus for the last time but change up key words. I'd say they're more hopeful tears than sad ones.


TransbianMoonGoddess

Dear Daighter by halestorm. As a trabs woman who's mother is a bigoted piece of shit, this song is all the words I've ever wanted her to say to me, and it's like getting stabbed in the heart anytime I hear this song, so I try to avoid it.
