Music that makes you cry.
 
Ok, I know its a tad wimpy, But Im curious so bear with me.
Theres a couple of songs that I find so powerfull that I have actually shed tears on occasion. Im not an over emotional person by any means but something in these songs hits me hard.

The only ones I can think of right now are:

Bjork - Hyperballad (Brodsky Quartet version)
The muppets - Halfway down the stairs

Got any?

anything by Avril Lavigne.. her music makes me cry with fear.. fear that her music may actually stay around.

Spungfoo 05-23-2003 06:12 PM

Most songs by Ralph Covert. He's a local songwriter in Chicago who now makes pretty great music for kids. But his acoustic stuff is so sad. www.ralphcovert.com

Agreed; I tear up every time I hear it.

riptide4070 05-25-2003 09:11 AM

jewel- "abscence of fear" This is one of my favorite songs of all time. unwritten law-"seeing red" is my other favorite but it doesn't make me cry.

qpid 05-25-2003 03:55 PM

The Who - "Behind Blue Eyes"

soo beautiful and so sad

WhoaitsZ 05-25-2003 05:16 PM

i'm way too touchy feely for a dude. i like these kind of threads. off the top of my head:

Dancing in the Moonlight - Smashing Pumpkins cover Thin Lizzy. it is so gorgeous and it hurts cuz i think of the age of 14-15 again

Beck's last lp. jesus h. its good but my god, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LISTEN TO THIS CD IF YOU HAVE ANY HARMFUL ANYTHINGS. 'baby, i'm a lost cause', 'its nothing i haven't seen before but it still kills me like it did before' and so on

Mazzy Star makes me think of the same thing that DitM does

there's a lot of music but my mind is blank. enjoy

OHHHhhhhhh what teenager during the 70s (okay i wasn't alive yet but i still loved it) didn't get depressed by Nazereth's Love Hurts??? we all laugh about it, but the back oh my mind i think 'oh shit that song IS sad'

nefarious 05-26-2003 03:41 PM

i've not really cried .. but these are a few songs that could make me if i let myself:

Dont Speak - No Doubt
Promise - Horie Yui
Moonchild - Cibbo Matto
Eyes on me - Faye Wong
Parade - Garbage

Maxarian 05-26-2003 10:46 PM

Sarah McLachlan's "Possession" is just freakin haunting. I just love the part where she says "I'll take your breath away."

"My Immortal" by Evanescence is very moving and emotional.
Amy Lee's voice is beautiful.

"Hush Hush Hush" by Paula Cole is one that almost sounds as if she is crying the song, rather than singing it. Simply awesome.

itchy92 05-27-2003 08:46 PM

Oh, man; I live for this stuff.

Let's see, just going through my "depresso" playlist, I see:

A Day at the Fair - Most of their songs
Ben Harper - Another Lonely Day, Forever
Bush - Inflatable
Counting Crows - Colorblind
Dashboard Confessional - Most of his songs (I know, it's sold out pop-emo, but he still delivers it pretty sincerely)
Kansas - Dust in the Wind
Mae - Giving it Away
Name Taken - Feeling Sorry
Plain White T's - A Lonely September, Radios in Heaven
Slow Coming Day - Most of their Songs
Something Corporate - Ben Franklin's Kite (again, sold out pop-emo, but still sad)
Stereophonics - Is Yesterday Tomorrow, Today?
The Ataris - Between You and Me
The Cranberries - I Still Do (a very haunting song to me)
The Damnwells - For My Own Good, Sleepsinging
The Get Up Kids - Long Goodnight, New Found Mass (2000)
The Juliana Theory - Don't Push Love Away, Into the Dark, Is Patience Still Waiting?, This Is Your Life
The New Amsterdams - Idaho, Lonely Hearts (this is probably my favorite sad song)

I've also found a few good songs going through this thread, too, so thanks to all who replied.

There's already a "Most Depressing Song" thread... I don't know how different this is but I think the other one has it covered... I dunno though...

For me, it's

Thom Parrott - Pinkville Helicopter

Thom Parrott - Aberfan Coal Tip Tragedy

Thom Parrott - Hole in the Ground

Listen to any of those songs, I promise you you will be at least a little depressed afterwards

warrrreagl 05-28-2003 06:32 AM

"Shannon" - that goofy song about the dog who drifted out to sea. It kills me.

"Alone Again, Naturally" - Gilbert O'Sullivan

"Here Today" - Paul McCartney

OMFUG 05-28-2003 08:54 AM

Oh man, Jeff Buckley's "Grace" amd "Last Goodbye" destroy me. Everytime I hear either one I think about the ex-fiance even tho I'm now happioly married.

Colliebird 05-13-2011 11:25 AM

Music that turns on my tears
 
Thank you for posting songs that make you weep. These are some tunes that do it for me:

Scala and Kolacny Brothers - Yellow (coldplay cover), Creep (radiohead cover), The Blower's Daughter (someone's cover).
Dido - See you when you're forty

Ave Maria - any live performance

Its hard to imagine anyone being more depressing than Joy Division themselves.

I couldnt say that it makes me cry, but "How Soon is Now" by the Smiths always makes me feel pretty miserable... sort of connects with certain nights of my own youth

"There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home
And you cry and you want to die..."

lunxpress 05-16-2011 02:37 PM
