Songs that makes you cry

John Doe1 · 05-09-2011 12:14am #1

or at least emotional. I remember listening to 'wish you were here' by pink floyd for the first time and thinking about a relative of mine who suffered from a serious mental illness similar to syd barrett and who eventually died and bawling my eyes out. Also 'homes of donegal' by paul brady always gets me when im away from home for long periods

When I was a kid, this one used to make me sad...

Makes me angry for my Dad for never being there even though he was always there and indeed I couldn't get rid of him

Green Onions by Booker T & The MGs. The cut and rehashed version

OK, so the guitarist acts like a Tourette's sufferer ........ probably trying to stifle a sneeze!

In retrospect you are right ........ if you wore tight trousers and had a skinfull of Bulmers first ......... the swivelling up from when your butt was touching the boards could be ball breaking. So you're right. I thought you were being facetious. Apology offered.

Aishae · 05-09-2011 12:38am

The only song that ever made me cry - dad used to sing to me as a kid and he had a terribly high pitched tune when he wanted
Pleeeease release me, let me go
For I don't love you anymore

It made me howl, lol

Two from the same album by Tom Waits:

I Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You...

and Martha

A few years ago I'd have said you were crazy if you told me I'd be posting music from a sci-fi tv programme in a thread like this, but the music from the new Battlestar Galactica is amazing and has some fantastic and often quite moving pieces like these:

Because it's beautiful and its sad to think she's not around to sing it any more

Links234 · 05-09-2011 12:44am

this is one that really tears my heart out... I've never seen a music video that hits home so hard and any time I've watched it I have absolutely bawled. I've only watched it a couple of times because of how powerful an effect it has on me, and I know if I look at it again, it'll tear right to the core of me.

Another one that can get me a tad weepy; especially when i've had a few.
Amazing song by a genius.

hairyfairy00 · 05-09-2011 12:47am

Wires by Athlete always brings me to tears, it was written after the lead singers daughter was born prematurely. My own daughter was premature and the song really encapsulates how i was feeling when she was NICU.

Theres 3 off the top of my head.

Theres also a video of Luke Kellys last performance, that gets to me too, he looks very weak.

Didn't want to be the one to post the obvious but this song does a little something to just about everyone I've heard talk about it

Insect Overlord · 05-09-2011 12:54am

Snow Patrol - "Run" and "Chasing Cars"
Bob Dylan - "Forever Young"
Nina - "99 Red Balloons"
The Cure - "The Lovecats"

All tied up with memories of someone who was taken way before her time.

Mainly because of Luke Kelly's incredible voice and because it's a great tune; suppose a bit of the old patriotism comes into it too.
Apparently, this was the last recording he ever made, as well.

All songs make me cry. I'm just a big softy. I cry when the sun rises, and when the sun sets.

I cry when the washing machine goes into a 3000rpm cycle.

I'm a sensitive guy.

Tchaikovsky's Piano concerto 1. Reminds me of my first real romantic relationship, the happiness of the times when just seeing each other made our spirits soar, her incredible beauty, and the pain when it all ended.
