Songs that make you cry or just get emotional

[Christinetobe]

Happened to me yesterday for the first time.  I was really down and was listening to basically songs to keep me there.  I must have listened to Bullet by Hollywood Undead about 20 times.  I noticed on the recommended for you list Hero by Skillett and was bawling my eyes out by the end of it.  good tears I think because iy brought me to a better place then where I had been stuck.

[Kimberley Beauregard]

The only song that gets me close to that state is Heroes by David Bowie.

[Ms Grace]

I'm a real softy and even before I started HRT it wouldn't take much to get the waterworks going. Biggest tear jerker for me is the super manipulative, saccharin sodden Honey (I Miss You) by Bobby Goldsbro. Sad, I know. Certainly not my usual musical taste, but it chokes me up every time.

[FalseHybridPrincess]

I have 2 really sad piano songs... if you feel sad they ll make you cry...

[Northern Jane]

"Deep Purple" by Nino Temple & April Stevens. I was 13 and deeply in love. He was the same age and that song was playing when he gave me my first ever passionate kiss. OMG the feelings!!!

Every time I hear that song, the world goes on pause for a few minutes while I remember young love

[kelly_aus]

kd langs version of Hallelujah. It was my GF's favourite and we played it at her funeral..

[Eva Marie]

Luke Bryan - Drink a Beer - does it to me every time. The song makes me sad about my wife leaving; the lyrics in the song are about someone dying but they are appropriate to the situation with my wife too. We used to sit together often on a certain pier and watch the sun set over the ocean.

Another one is Trace Adkins - You're gonna miss this. They played it at my youngest daughters high school graduation and I just barely kept from bawling. My life was beginning to fall apart at that point and that song hit me hard.

Crap, now my water works are going.....

Oh Kelly... Hallelujah in any if its many guises makes me cry too. 

At the moment just about any song can make me cry...

Today it was He Ain't Heavy Neil Diamond version, yesterday The Sisters of Mercy Laonard Cohen, the day before that Game of Love Daft Punk, and who knows what it will be tomorrow.

[Jill F]

Disc 2 of Dream Theater's Six Degrees.  It's sort of like one song with many parts.  Last time I heard it I was a complete disaster.
Pink Floyd - The Wall has moments that really get to me if I think about it too much, as does The Who - Quadrophenia

Crap, not again...

Can you see the real me?  Can ya? Can ya?

[Ltl89]

Too many to name as music always impacts me emotionally, but here are two that effect me now.



I feel the lyrics really describe how I feel and what I'm going through.  Far from heaven really puts it clearly.



Shostakovich really poured his soul into this piece.  You can just feel everything that he was going through and the world that surrounded him.  In a weird way, I really feel this piece unlike anything else and it always makes me emotional.  He seemed to find a way to relate his pain with everyone else, and it's something we all share in some way.  what always hits me is the 4th movement and the "knocks" as I have my own anxieties and fears that play in my head.  In a weird way it sort of takes me back.  I can't imagine what Shostakovich went through, but I can understand and feel the pain. 

[Ltl89]

I'll add one more to the list.  I've already discussed it in the "what are you listening to" section, but this one has been hitting me as well recently. 


Anyone that has struggled with drugs in some way or has lost someone to it can really understand the emotions behind this.  Whenever I crave to just abuse and numb myself from pain in some way, I remind myself that they don't work in the end and only cause harm to everyone around me as well as myself.  Even though this song was originally written for his family member dying of cancer and wasn't intended to be about drug abuse, many relate it with that as I have.

Dru hill - 5 steps
H-town - Day I die

[CalmRage]

Sara - Bob Dylan

makes me angry and a bit sad, but for different reasons than a year ago. Now it no longer is what i don't even want to mention anymore, but everything bad that happened last year. The bad part: i still love that song.

[Julie1957]

I Hope You Dance - Lee Ann Womack

[ReubenIsTheName]

The three that come to mind are Skin by Sixx A.M., Nebel by Rammstein, and Lucy by Skillet. The last two are mostly because I had an ex girlfriend die while we were dating, so I can definitely relate to those songs.

[MbutF]

Amy Holland - She's on fire



This song for some reason...

[Alyssa Rae]

Usually only instrumental music can get to me
Lately though, demons by imagine dragons is really hitting home for me.
