I'm not really sure if something like this has been posted before.

I love listening to music..and I love sad music. It's very rare that I hear a song so sad that I cry or get close to crying. Tonight I heard a song by Tim McGraw called "If You're Reading This" for the first time and it's...wow...I haven't heard a song this sad since "Whiskey Lullaby" by Brad Paisley and Allison Krausse (probably misspelled that name). I'm trying hard not to cry to the song. I also heard Amazing Grace done with b->-bleeped-<-ipes tonight and it's really beautiful. Anyway, I guess different music affects different people. I hope this isn't too weird of a question but what kind of music or what songs makes you teary eyed whether it being because the song is so beautiful or just sad? I'm just curious.

Alison Krauss

And yeah, Carlos playing Samba pa Ti, or Jerry doing Stella Blue, or Warren Hanes doing Beautifully Broken.

Mysterious, blown in with the night
All this beauty captured in a frame
Visibly shaken, but never stirred
Drives them insane
I see the way she plays her men
And I know I've got to know her name
She's so beautifully broken
Shaped by the wind
Dangerously twisted
Here I go again

I see the way she cast her spell
It's like drowning in moonlight
Discards them she's done
They're lost in her twilight
I watch her move from star to star
And I wonder why, why it feels so right

She's so beautifully broken
You can barely see the flaw
Especially from a distance
Which is always how I fall

Why do I fall for the dangerous ones
The ones that never learned to let go
And why do I lie to myself
And pretend that I can break her
When she's already been so
Beautifully broken

Why do I fall for the dangerous ones
The ones that don't know how to let go
And why do I lie to myself
And pretend that I could break her
When she's already been so

Beautifully broken
Shaped by the wind
Dangerously twisted
Here I go again, here I go again


STELLA BLUE
All the years combine, they melt into a dream,
A broken angel sings from a guitar.
In the end theres just a song comes cryin up the night
Thru all the broken dreams and vanished years.
Stella blue. stella blue.

When all the cards are down, theres nothing left to see,
Theres just the pavement left and broken dreams.

In the end theres still that song comes cryin like the wind.
Down every lonely street thats ever been
Stella blue. stella blue.

Ive stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel, cant win for trying.
Dust off those rusty strings just one more time,
Gonna make them shine, shine

It all rolls into one and nothing comes for free,
Theres nothing you can hold, for very long.
And when you hear that song come crying like the wind,
It seems like all this life was just a dream.

Fade into you - Mazzy Star

http://www.youtube/watch?v=W4L74LpWseM (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4L74LpWseM#noexternalembed)

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look at you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there

Fade into you
Strange you never Knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

A strangers light comes on slowly
A strangers heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart

Everyone has experienced sadness in one way or another even if their life is happy at the moment.  In my case, I have found out that sad music and/or sad poetry can be refreshing and therapeutic whether I am happy or sad at the time of listening/reading.  On the other hand listening to happy music when I feel sad can be extremely frustrating.

I just hate it when I am immersed in my own world reading sad poetry or listening to sad music, and someone appears out of nowhere and asks "Are you sad? What's wrong?" ::)  I feel like saying "No, I am not sad, I am having some quality time here.  If I am sad, you will be the first one to know, so go away"  I guess I am just weird in that respect!  ;D  Anyway...

Anything by the Spice Girls makes me cry, but not because it's sad... it's because of the overwhelming pain that comes from ripping my ears off and flushing them down the toilet.

However, in all seriousness... this always brings a tear to my eye:

Oh, man, many at the moment. I think sometimes you have to go through something to understand a song. That happened to me yesterday and the song that originally made me go, "that's pretty good" made me want to sob... but let's see here.

Most Of Me - Mandy Moore

I'll just go with that. I'd be listing too many, haha.

Forgiven by Within Temptation - omgosh that is the saddest song I've ever heard
When I Was a Boy by Dar Williams - a song that made me cry the first time I heard it with a sentiment many of us here can relate to.

When I first heard this song a few months ago, I used to cry almost every time. It reminds me of my ex  :'(

There are three that really makes my cry.

Yes, Pica, the Adagio is a bit cliched -- well, frequently played, anyway -- but so deserving. It's an amazing piece.

Britten's War Requiem gets me every time -- every bit of the story around it is gutwrenching, as is the piece itself. But the old man would not so, but slew his son, and half the seed of Europe, one by one. Those words alone bring me to tears. I can't read Strange Meeting aloud without choking up:

QuoteI am the enemy you killed, my friend.
I knew you in this dark; for so you frowned
Yesterday through me as you jabbed and killed.
I parried; but my hands were loath and cold.

Bob Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone" can hit a certain nerve in me, and I have no idea why. It's the same with Blind Melon's "No Rain".

I used to hate "Like a Rolling Stone" when I was young. There's something unmusical and almost dirty about it. Then one day when I was maybe 23 and I had no clue what I was doing in life, I heard it on the radio as I was driving home one day and I suddenly understood it, the glorious despair of the music.

Me too.  The songs are really emotional though.  I should say they make me want to cry.  I don't usually cry, but when I do, it's as likely that I'm crying from happiness as it is sadness.  :D  I also get emotional when things are too beautiful.

Gloomy Sunday.  I really like Emily Autumn's version.

Usually, songs that make me cry - or bawl outright - depends on how I apply it to my life in that moment.

Most recently, I believe it was "Right Here" by Staind that caused me to tear up.

Then again, I LOVE depressing/"angry teenager" music. So much passion and vitality. Rock On!!  :icon_headfones:

Paul Anka? That's got to be scary  :laugh:

It's not just scary, it's blasphemy.  It's on "Rock Swings"...someone should have stopped that abomination before it ever started...

Tchaikovsky's Pathéthique. I've read criticisms that it's self-indulgent, but I strongly disagree.

When I went back into the closet years ago, I stopped listening to this piece because it made me too emotional. Soon after I came out of the closet, I listened to it and broke down. Before that, I can't remember the last time I had cried; I was holding myself in so tightly that for the longest time, crying was not an option.

And the last minute or so of La Traviata used to get me every time...I wonder if that will happen now that I'm on T. I don't seem to cry as easily.

I can and do cry now, but mostly "light" crying. I never, never, never thought I would miss being able to cry all out. I hated it and rarely found it a relief and usually didn't feel better afterward. I envied guys who went on T and gained enormous control over their emotions.

I don't feel that way now. Perhaps it's time for another visit to Pyotr Ilyich.

slipknot's vermillion part 2, its just an acoustic guitar and corey singing, its about unrequited love and i think its the most beautiful song ever :)

I heard this one the radio yesterday and began crying.  Even now I want to cry just typing this.  :'(

I thought AFI was doing Warpped Tour this summer.

But, since I'm working his show tonight, I'll toss in John Prine, who no less a songwriter than Bob Dylan was praising last week.  Though I'm partial to Angel from Montgomery he admits that Bonnie Raitt pretty much made the song her's, and that its a good thing.  But everytime I hear it, the soft guitar line and the rather raspy voice and the lyrics to just shatter, well, Hello in There does it for me.

And I still don't know what for, don't matter anymore.

If they are, I love you for telling me!!!!!!!!  Gotta look it up now...

Speaking of John Prine...I grew up about 40 miles from "Paradise"...

He played a really extraordinary concert.  Really loving playing and very heartfelt.  Though all the songs were good, I have to say that his job on Angel from Montgomery was just off the hook.  But he played 2 hours and 20 minutes, not bad for a throat cancer survivor.

the last verse of Frank Zappa's Uncle Remus - for some unknown reason

"I'll be knockin the jockeys of the rich people's lawns and before they wake up I'll be gone"

;_;

If I'm in a really depressed mood already and I listen to the pretty part in the middle of "Master of Puppets" by Metallica I sometimes get teary eyed. That songs brings up so many memories especially that part of the song.

Another sad song I found recently is this

Enya - (1991) Shepherd Moons - 03 How Can I Keep From Singing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whIYv3_CvqU#lq-hq)


It starts getting sad for me when it reaches 2:28 when the tune goes higher

I don't really do the whole crying thing, but this song gets down in me.

The one thing country does better than anything else is make you cry.

All those you mentioned spring to mind.

Also, Ronnie Milsap's "Almost Like a Song" maybe the saddest ever to me - especially if you think of the one he's missing as passed away.

"Go Rest High" by Vince Gil...

Questions like this always frustrate me because I know there's lots of good answers I'm forgetting.

That song is evil and my mother loves it.  Christmas songs shouldn't be sad!  :)

That song is so sad it shouldn't even exist

Just heard this one for the first time, it automatically goes in this category... Pearl Jam - The End

Pearl Jam - The End (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyEXR2TnwT0#)

Don't know if this has been posted yet but it's real sad, especially because he sounds so serene and happy as he can be at that point. It also makes me relate to people I love

Al Stewart : - Road To Moscow

They crossed over the border the hour before dawn
Moving in lines through the day, most of our planes
Were destroyed on the ground where they lay waiting
For orders we held in the wood, word from the front never came

By evening the sound of the gunfire was miles away
Ah, softly we move through the shadows, slip away
Through the trees crossing their lines in the mists in
The fields on our hands and our knees and all that I ever was able to see

The fire in the air glowing red silhouetting the smoke on the breeze
All summer they drove us back through the Ukraine
Smolensk and Viyasma soon fell, by autumn we stood
With our backs to the town of Orel

Closer and closer to Moscow they come, riding the wind like a bell
General Guderian stands at the crest of the hill, winter brought
With her the rains, oceans of mud filled the roads gluing
The tracks of their tanks to the ground while the sky filled with snow

And all that I ever was able to see the fire in the air
Glowing red silhouetting the snow on the breeze
In the footsteps of Napoleon the shadow figures
Stagger through the winter falling back before the gates of Moscow
Standing in the wings like an avenger

And far away behind their lines the partisans are stirring in the forest
Coming unexpectedly upon their outposts, growing like a promise
You'll never know, you'll never know
Which way to turn, which way to look, you'll never see us

As we're stealing through the blackness of the night
You'll never know, you'll never hear us
And the evening sings in a voice of amber, the dawn is surely coming
The morning road leads to Stalingrad, and the sky is softly humming

Two broken Tigers on fire in the night flicker
Their souls to the wind, we wait in the lines for the final
Approach to begin, it's been almost four years that
I've carried a gun at home it'll almost be spring

The flames of the Tigers are lighting the road to Berlin
Ah, quickly we move through the ruins that bow to the ground
The old men and children they send out to face us
They can't slow us down and all that I ever was able to see

The eyes of the city are opening now it's the end of the dream
I'm coming home, I'm coming home now you can taste
It in the wind, the war is over and I listen to the clicking
Of the train wheels as we roll across the border

And now they ask me of the time that I was caught
Behind their lines and taken prisoner
"They only held me for a day, a lucky break", I say
They turn and listen closer, I'll never know, I'll never know

Why I was taken from the line and all the others?
To board a special train and journey deep into the
Heart of holy Russia and it's cold and damp in the transit camp
And the air is still and sullen and the pale sun of October

Whispers the snow will soon be coming
And I wonder when I'll be home again
And the morning answers never and the evening sighs
And the steely Russian skies go on forever.

Really sad because that actually happened.

Yeah that's why it makes me cry so much... that an the fact that it's a lovely piece of music. That and "Old Admirals" from the same album - heck the whole thing is good.

The two songs I always listen to when I'm crying are Everybody Hurts by REM, and Fix You - Coldplay. Some other sad songs that I love are The Funeral, by Band of Horses, and If There's a Rocket Tie Me To It, by Snow Patrol. I'm sure there's others that I can't think of off the top of my head.

And Laura Hope, I realize this is almost a year after you posted that, but I can't resist saying BROWNCOATS FOREVER!  ;D

Fix You - Coldplay is indeed a sad song

The Verve // On Your Own and One Day

I don't know the name of the song, but when I was 3 or 4 I remember hearing a song on sesame street and the key that it was in made me cry.

The songs weight of the world and Black Orchid by Blue October almost always make me cry. So does the song there is no if by the Cure.

I cried to boys of summer this morning.....

don't ask

Mother how are u today....

Very few songs make me actually cry, but I have thought of two to share.
The first is Leona Lewis's version of 'Run' (a Snow Patrol song). I quite honestly have no idea what it is about it, just something in the quality of the high notes near the end just hits my tear glands or something. I don't even usually like modern pop music!  ???
The second affects me for an actual reason. It describes in a very beautiful and affecting way how my beloved Gran was towards the end of her life. And it's probably how I'll be at the end of my life, too. This song makes me cry like a baby without fail. It's called 'Last Flowers To The Hospital', by Radiohead. Here it is:

Appliances have gone berserk
I cannot keep up
Treading on people's toes
Snot-nosed little punk

And I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief, relief,
Relief, relief

And if I'm gonna talk
I just want to talk
Please don't interrupt
Just sit back and listen

Cos I can't face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me there you'll get relief, relief,
Relief, relief, relief, relief

It's too much, too bright, too powerful
Too much, too bright, too powerful
Too much, too bright, too powerful
Too much, too bright, too powerful...

Christina Aqilera- Reflection
Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

There's a heart that must be
Free to fly
That burns with a need to know
The reason why

Why must we all conceal
What we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

I've been listening to this a lot lately :/ I've been having some major issues with my dysphoria and this song even if it is a disney song suits how I feel exactly. It both makes me even more depressed and comforts me somehow.
