songs which move you to tears.

[na§tee]

jeff buckley's version of 'hallelujah' is on the radio right now and god, it's a great song. it also reminds me of happier, nostalgic times when my flatmate (http://www.thecinematics.net) used to sing it at open mic nights at uni. yes, his voice is that good.

[Mary*Kate]

I always cry everytime I hear the song: Starts with Goodbye by Carrie Underwood.

[Leonie]

If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys, doesnt really make me cry, but it does move me big time

[ampm]

Fuck Shop - 2 Live Crew

[Mr Films]

1,000 Seconds- Secret Machines

[Drederick Tatum]

Neil Young's Star of Bethlehem never fails to depress me. those first few lines are killers. and then the harmonica?! have mercy, Neil.

[ms.peachy]

Bridge Over Troubled Water makes my eyes well up every time, but in a good way. The purity of Art Garfunkel's voiceis just amazing. Fantastic song.

Also, there are a number of Beethoven compositions that I found so moving when I put on headphones and just listen to them intently that I almost cry. Such incredible passion and precision.

[beastiegirl18]

I always cry with the U2 song Sometimes you can't make it on your own.

[alexandra]

Bridge Over Troubled Water makes my eyes well up every time, but in a good way. The purity of Art Garfunkel's voiceis just amazing. Fantastic song.
i can hold my tears back on that one, but when El Condor Pasa (If I Could) comes right after, just like on the album, it gets too much. damn Peru. they got the feeling over there. such a beautiful song.

i'd rather be a hammer than a nail
yes i would, if i only could, i surely would ... :'=)

[Gareth]

jeff buckley's version of 'hallelujah' is on the radio right now and god, it's a great song.

ah...that version will always be associated with the oc, last episode of season one

[Rockable]

"The mercy seat" in the Johnny Cash version, when you hear it on headphones, it's just too much...

[FloorK]

I always cry with the U2 song Sometimes you can't make it on your own.


:eek: me 2!!!

[mikizee]

no songs really make me cry but jeff buckley's 'lover u shoulda come over' almost tips the scales if im in a sad mood.

[zorra_chiflada]

"only 19" by this band called redgum. australian song about going to the vietnam war as a kid and how fucked up it is and how messed up he was for the rest of his life.

[Tompz]

I was kind of moved almost to tears by grateful deads warf rat. I was havin a hard time at that time.

[fucktopgirl]

Some Arcade on Fire

SAm Roberts"bridge to nowhere"

The Cure"lovesong"

[alexandra]

how could i forget....: Bruce Springsteen's "I'm On Fire". that song can make me weep on the sunniest day. it has that power. even if i go to bed feeling happy, and then listen to it, i'll most definitely cry. everything gets black-and-white and i feel empty.

Bruce is pretty awesome.

[DroppinScience]

You should also hear Johnny Cash's cover of that song. It's pretty damn powerful, too! (y)

[alexandra]

i'm sure i'd love it. i have a weakness for his voice.

from age 6 and several years over i always cried when i heard "Without You" with Mariah Carey, and i was very ashamed of it. my sister played it quite often, and i always pretended to have "something in the eyes" whenever i heard it.

i can't liiiiive if living is without yoooouuu... i can't liiiiive, i can't give anymooooore...

i even cried when i heard RHCP's "Wet Sand".

ohhh you don't form in the wet sand
you don't form at all
wooahh you don't form in the wet sand
I DO, yeeeeaaaahhhh

i'm such a wissy, hahaha.

[Planetary]

songs dont make me cry, or films really, but if they did, i think where is my mind and everybody hurts, and mayby fix you by coldplay.

[na§tee]

oooh some good choices there guys, good choices. got me weeping into my cuppa already.

the eva cassidy version of "somewhere over the rainbow" is a tearjerker, too. i was at a family outdoors ice skating festive christmas thing at, er, christmas, and that came on. i was like "WTF god there's KIDDIES here!" as i slumped to the floor in a crumpled, soggy heap.

also the mary j. blige & u2 version of "one" [maybe i just have a thing for cover versions!]. the way her voice sounds is just so heartwrenching. "did i ask too much, more than a lot? / you gave me nothing, now it's all i got / we're one but we're not the same.." yikes, mary, give me a break!

gee: not having watched the oc before apart from to catch brief glimpses of seth cohen, i haven't seen said episode but i'm sure it was a real gut-wrencher! :cool:

[QueenAdrock]

Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
Mad World - Gary Jules (or Tears for Fears)
Hurt - Johnny Cash

The first two have actually made me cry, the last one just moves me. A lot of Coldplay moves me too. Yeah, I know. Shut up.

[ericlee]

good thread miss. I made one similar quite a while ago.

Alot of Smashing Pumpkins songs do it for me, just Billy Corgan's guitar work alone can do it. Why did he go in the direction that he did? My god, what a waste.

-Chili Peppers, I could have lied
-Chili Peppers, Breaking a Girl
-The Cure, Pictures of you

[yeahwho]

Green Onions by Booker T & the MG's..........................................




No wait, that's a sliced food that brought me to tears. :o








OK folks, Thanks and drive home safely, be sure to try the cannelloni..

[trailerprincess]

no songs really make me cry but jeff buckley's 'lover u shoulda come over' almost tips the scales if im in a sad mood.

I agree. Also Nick Cave - Into My Arms

'I don't believe in an interventionist god
But I know, darling, that you do.
And if I did, I would kneel down and ask him
Not to intervene when it came to you.
Oh, not to touch a hair on your head,
Leave you as you are,
If he felt he had to direct you,
To direct you into my arms...'

[steve-onpoint]

Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles

preferably heard during a gorgeous sunset through the clouds by a bay.

[steve-onpoint]

Fuck Shop - 2 Live Crew

Da place to splak!

[DIGI]

Simple Man--Skynyrd

If I hear this song while drunk, forget about it.

[ms.peachy]

Here Comes The Sun - The Beatles

preferably heard during a gorgeous sunset through the clouds by a bay.

I can't say as it moves me to tears per se but it is a glorious song to play on one of those first really great spring days, when it really does seem 'like years since it's been here'.(y)

[Leonie]

Blackbird On The Wire by Beautiful South

[Cooky Puss]

I always get a really sad feeling when I hear Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay by Otis Redding. I don't know why, but I heard it for the first time when I was a toddler and even then it made me go quiet and feel sad.

Only song that really made me cry instantly was 'ready for love' by India Arie. Near the end she does this thing with her voice that gives me goosebumps and brings me to tears.

And the past 2/3 months pretty much every song about breakups made me sad. I couldnt even listen to 'Who love's the sun' anymore, and it was my fave VU song.

"Who loves the sun,
Who cares that it makes plants grow
Who cares what it does
Since you broke my heart" :mad: :(

[Rockable]

I always get a really sad feeling when I hear Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay by Otis Redding. I don't know why, but I heard it for the first time when I was a toddler and even then it made me go quiet and feel sad.


Oooh, that's a good one! There's just something in his voice that makes you listen to every word he says no matter how busy you are...

[steve-onpoint]

I can't say as it moves me to tears per se but it is a glorious song to play on one of those first really great spring days, when it really does seem 'like years since it's been here'.(y)

Combined with my scenario, I find it so beautiful that I can't help but release the emotion. The crying to which I refer is very much like extreme laughing.

[yeahwho]

Otis Redding is Fantastic! You are a first class cryer.

[na§tee]

ah otis - yes, that's a good one. i find these arms of mine more upsetting, however. :(

[Randetica]

take that - never forget :(

[steve-onpoint]

this one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVUISRBQX_o&search=mike%20the%20mechanics) the third verse gets me.

[HEIRESS]

true that, double true to the otis and "simple man"


"nothing takes the place of you" - Toussaint Mccall

seriously man, fuck.


"carried away/middle of july" - Hayden

the first one has got a happy melody but the lyrics kill me
second one is just damn depressing


"you're gonna make me lonesome" - bobby D

impending relationship doom weeeee


"burn" - ray lamontagne

gah gah gah :(


"philadelphia/helpless" - neil young

yah goddamn neil young songs, yah do it to me everytime


"another lonely day" - ben harper

derkaderka

[cosmo105]

french kicks - trial of the century
wilco - red-eyed and blue
can't listen to dcfc - styrofoam plates
without feeling the sting of hot tears on my cheeks and the pain of my teeth gritting and the steering wheel cover chafing my white-knuckles fingers

and then ben lee - family tree makes me cry happy tears. :)

a broken branch i'd be
if you weren't grown to me

[Gareth]

wilco - red-eyed and blue

whenever i hear the start outta mind [outta sight], which isn't really that often...but anyway, whenever i hear it i always expect a gang of kids to start singing 'sunny days sweeping the clouds away'

gee: not having watched the oc before apart from to catch brief glimpses of seth cohen, i haven't seen said episode but i'm sure it was a real gut-wrencher! :cool:

heh this thread spawned a real live conversation about musical moments in the oc, like when ryan is running up the stairs on nye at the stroke of midnight to kiss marissa and that 'dices' song is playing; and when seth and summer are slow dancing to a ryan adams version of 'wonderwall'; and when anna is at the airport and some nada surf song comes on...shame. i'm a 14 yr old girl.

[Kid Presentable]

IAWGM. For all the wrong reasons.

[Calimero jr.]

"The Rain Song" - Led Zeppelin

[Mister Softy]

No tears but goosebumps almost all the times :

Portishead - Humming, Over
Chokebore - Speed of Sound, The Sweetness
Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence (harmonium only version)
Grandaddy - many songs, can't remember the names
Björk - Bachelorette and many others
[...]

[zorra_chiflada]

nothing compares 2 U is also pretty tearjerking

[enree erzweglle]

Vincent (by Don Maclean)

When I was very young, I remember my parents listening to "Honey" repeatedly in the car and I was upset by the lyrics. It was about a man (husband?) reminiscing about his love (wife?), who had died. I remember being absolutely stricken by that concept as a little kid.

Same with another song called "Patches." I don't remember much about it other than the fact that I cried each time I heard it. My brother and sister would sing part of the refrain just to make me well up. "Patches, I'm depending on you son, to pull the family through. My son, it's all left up to you." I was such a sucker for shit like that and I suppose I still am.

[na§tee]

hah, wowzers!
i heart o.c only for the seth cohen action. actually i have just bought an o.c. related top off ebay not so long ago - i shall post in sureshots gift, purchase or other. yah.
i strongly dislike marissa and her vacant faced non-acting. ugh! but the music sounds great, at least :cool:

[alexandra]

word to Wonderwall. it's better than the original, imo.

and the crying continues....

Boots Of Spanish Leather /Bob Dylan

mighty beautiful. the guitar and his voice. damn you Bobby.

OHhhhhhhhh I remember having that on some random tape as a kid and it being the most depressing song ever

[Lex Diamonds]

Ice Cube, Dr Dre, and MC Ren - Hello

*sniff*
:(

[enree erzweglle]

I always get a really sad feeling when I hear Sitting On The Dock Of The Bay by Otis Redding. I don't know why, but I heard it for the first time when I was a toddler and even then it made me go quiet and feel sad.I don't know, I kind of find that to be a relaxing summertime, breezy kind of a song. It doesn't make me sad.

So much of it is how you met a song, you know?

There's a group of songs that I used to play for my kid (on tape) when we'd drive to the beach. He calls them Summer Songs and associates them with good times even though not all of them have a cheery motif.

[enree erzweglle]

sad song: Strange Fruit

[Mary*Kate]

Do I Make You Proud by Taylor Hicks makes me bawl. Not everytime but for the first few times I heard it.

when the night has come

oh i won't be afraid
just as long as you stand
stand by me

so darling darling stand by me
oh stand by me
oh stand, stand by me, stand by me

if the sky that we look upon
should tumble and fall
or the mountain
should crumble to the sea
i won't cry, i won't cry
no i won't shed a tear
just as long as you stand
stand by me

:"=)

[hitmonlee]

yes. at a crossroads in life, making the right decision for myself is too painful a notion to deal with right now.

listening to sad music probably isn't helping much, but listening to happy music wouldn't make it better.

i think i'll do a summary of artits who can bring me to tears:

jeff buckley, the cure, prince, soundgarden, the doors, the beatles and david bowie.

oh i forgot, since i haven't listened to her in ages

christina aguilera - walk away

[Tzar]

silverchair:
suicidal dream

it may not be complicated or highly original music, but its damn good.
<3 silverchair

[Lex Diamonds]

Don't front. That's a classic.
Tears of happiness/wonderment. (y)

REM's "Everybody Hurts" makes me LMAO
same here. "Purple Rain" too. i think i'd get more moved just reading the lyrics.

[camo]

Has anybody heard 'hope theres someone' by antony and the johnsons?

It cuts me up every single time.

Heres the lyrics but you really need to listen to it....

Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, will I go

Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired

There's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
How can I fall asleep at night
How will I rest my head

Oh I'm scared of the middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there

There's a man on the horizon
Wish that I'd go to bed
If I fall to his feet tonight
Will allow rest my head

So here's hoping I will not drown
Or paralyze in light
And godsend I don't want to go
To the seal's watershed

Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, Will I go

Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired.

[ms.peachy]

I was just listening to another one:

Heroes, David Bowie

I like Roland Gift's That's How Strong my Love Is.

There's a Sheryl Crow song that can make me cry called Crash and Burn

I wrote a letter that I never mailed
I rehearsed a dialogue in my head
In case you ever want to track me down
I'll take my cell phone to bed

And it's laughter that I hear when I close my eyes
And it's one more punchline I forgot to learn
I call you up when my bottle's dry
I'm on my way to crash and burn

There are a couple that have come up recently. I can't think of them right now.

Mad World is one that someone already said, also maybe Damien Rice's The Blowers Daughter. Mother Love Bone - Chloe Dancer.

I know, mine are obvious.

God, I wish I could think of those others.

[EN[i]GMA]

Not exactly to tears, but sad:

Another Day Full of Dread by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy

Really anything off of "I See a Darkness".

[na§tee]

when you wish upon a star :(

[BangkokB]

Johnny Cash ~ Hurt ....the whole him loving June so much and she died on him shreads me

That and the Come on Down theme song for the Price is Right

[Jitters]

John Lennon- "Imagine"
The Beatles- "Yesterday"
Ringo Starr- "Photograph"
Johnny Cash- "Hurt"

None of these songs has made me cry that I remember but they sure are tearjerkers. Nobody mentioned "Imagine" yet or "Yesterday"....... come on people those are the classic sad songs!

[ggirlballa]

no tears fell but almost or at least i felt sad

Gratitude -beastie boys

Kim- Eminem (this song isn't suppose to be sad its supose to be angry but one line made me almost cry)


theres a lot more but i can't think of em:confused:

[Mr. Boomin'Granny]

god damn sigur ros, their first track off of ().

Not so much the cd version, but the live version. Especially this one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_LXTx8ZiGo)


sniff.

[yeahwho]

Ha ha, you tube is so great. In Dreams (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaVoARJ_PUo)

[BBboy20]

Hurt...I think listening to the lyrics about all his friends gone sounded more then just leaving but more as if he's the last living person...I think it has something to do with the fact that it was Johnny's last great song he made...and I am not even a big Cash fan...I mean, song sounds more like a personal "End of the World" kind of song.

Gratitude -beastie boysHow the heck is that song "sad"? =/ For petes' sake, that bass sound would more make you bang your head and jump up and down.

[ggirlballa]

How the heck is that song "sad"? =/ For petes' sake, that bass sound would more make you bang your head and jump up and down.

the bassline is amazing yea, but ever heard the lyrics?

and it didn't make me cry it just mad me feel a little sad:(

[BBboy20]

Um yeah...and it sounds more like rebelioun then symptathy. =/

[ggirlballa]

Um yeah...and it sounds more like rebelioun then symptathy. =/

in my life :o

[Waus]

Eels - Dead of Winter
Cat Power - Colors and the Kids



...I think I need to get some new bands to champion.

[WhoMoi?]

Ribbons Undone - Tori Amos
She wrote it about her daughter and it reminds me of my relationship with my mom, and really makes the listener feel the bond of a mother-daughter relationship. Very moving. I pretty much lost it when I heard her perform it live.

[beastiegirrl101]

Pantera-Cemetary Gates

[ET]

I'm pretty emo so I'll just pick the one off the top of my head...

Lowlights - Dim stars

When i was far away from my family, i remember crying a bucket of water on the Gypsy Kings!:o

un amor

tu quieres volver

[b-grrrlie]

Bridge Over Troubled Water makes my eyes well up every time, but in a good way. The purity of Art Garfunkel's voiceis just amazing. Fantastic song.I really can't listen to that song anymore since my best friend's oldest son's death... He played it a lot before his death and it was played at the funeral so the former favourite just brings depression to me now.

Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
Is it because you know why this song was written?





I know these are quite old, but for some reason I've missed this thread completely so I'm making comments while I'm reading them.

Sinead O'Connor's version of Nothing compares to you still breaks me down, but it's mainly because it had a big part in the break up with the biggest love I've had in this life (so far....)

Also Foo Fighters' Walking after you...

james morrison - the pieces don't fit here anymore :(

well i can't explain why it's not enough, cause i gave it all to youuuu
And if you leave me now, oh just leave me noooowwwww
it's the better thing to do
it's time to surrender
it's been too long pretending
there's no use in trying
when the pieces dont fit anymore, pieces dont fit here anymore...

I was thinking just about this today when I was at work and feeling blue!! (and listening to Nick Cave)

Nick Cave - Into my arms

I don't believe in an interventionist God
But I know, darling, that you do
But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him
Not to intervene when it came to you
Not to touch a hair on your head
To leave you as you are
And if He felt He had to direct you
Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you
To each burn a candle for you
To make bright and clear your path
And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love
And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms

And I believe in Love
And I know that you do too
And I believe in some kind of path
That we can walk down, me and you
So keep your candlew burning
And make her journey bright and pure
That she will keep returning
Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms, O Lord
Into my arms


and more Nick Cave


I've felt you coming girl, as you drew near
I knew you'd find me, cause I longed you here
Are you my desitiny? Is this how you'll appear?
Wrapped in a coat with tears in your eyes?
Well take that coat babe, and throw it on the floor
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

As you've been moving surely toward me
My soul has comforted and assured me
That in time my heart it will reward me
And that all will be revealed
So I've sat and I've watched an ice-age thaw
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built
Out of longing great wonders have been willed
They're only little tears, darling, let them spill
And lay your head upon my shoulder
Outside my window the world has gone to war
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

O we will know, won't we?
The stars will explode in the sky
O but they don't, do they?
Stars have their moment and then they die

There's a man who spoke wonders though I've never met him
He said, "He who seeks finds and who knocks will be let in"
I think of you in motion and just how close you are getting
And how every little thing anticipates you
All down my veins my heart-strings call
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?



weepy wonders :(

I heard this album by Silver Mt Zion and it made me cry since I thought about mymom during many of the songs.

[Lex Diamonds]

I get really sad and emotional whenever this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66irnMk1Dvc) comes on. I usually end up leaving the room because the flow of tears is too strong to hold back, and I don't want people to see me in such a raw, vulnerable state. :(

I haven't been moved to tears but Patrick Watson's Great Escape and About Today by The National come close.

I really like this song.:o Perhaps this should be in the guilty pleasures thread. haha.

[ET]

I still can't find one that is as gutting as Dusty Springfield's version of Anyone Who Had A Heart. (http://www.zshare.net/audio/533725335756972b/) Many artists have done their own version of this song but you can really feel the soul in Dusty's voice more than anyone else's. (Shelby Lynne's version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuaHN1p8F9E) coming in a close second.) Even the break after the 1:30 mark hits pretty hard. The arrangement reminds me of Portishead in the best possible way.

This song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--WQ7Ga33gY) also. It's embarassing to type who sings it. And now it's getting out of hand. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nopBvlKfYgY) I think that if you can overlook the presentation and focus on the lyrical content instead of the accents you'll agree. Did I mention I'm from the south? Yeah, that's my excuse...

if that was highlighted to say "pssht this thread instead, suckahs!" this one was made in 2006 so nurrr. and is in the right forum.

if it was highlighted to show your pick of sad songs: well done.

rory: james morrison is my guilty pleasure too. but not to fret. it's okay. he's not, like, james blunt or anything. and he has an amazing voice. i'm with yer.

Some Enya song can make me cry like this one:

Not really to tears so much as they're just very personal.
