Songs that make you sob

[ChrisChambersNeverMisses]

Sorry, I know this topic has been done before but...
Recently watched The Falling, and Florence Pugh sings Voyage To The Moon- it's only a brief moment, but I had never heard the song before and I cannot stop thinking about it. I've listened to Donovan and the Mary Hopkin version and I'm sobbing! Absolutely bawling my eyes out! It is such a sad sweet melancholy song. It's making me think of the DCs as babies and how little DD (4) is growing so big now...

Are there any songs that have given you the same reaction? I can't stop listening and crying!

Disclaimer- this may be a result of lockdown hysteria

In The Ghetto by Elvis Presley.

“And as her young man dies...”

Oh definitely Luna, An American Trilogy always makes me cry too

Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell. Especially the line, "so many things I would have done, but clouds for in my way".

Dimming of the Day by Linda Thompson. Sang beautifully.

*got in my way.

At Seventeen by Janis Ian. Sums up that yearning for love that seems so out of reach.

Small bump by Ed Sheeran

'Wonderful Tonight', Eric Clapton

Many years ago, when I'd just split up with a boyfriend and was doing my regular Saturday job in Woolies, this came on the sound system. I was serving a customer and tears just started rolling down my cheeks. It's been the same ever since [embarrassed]

Not because of the boyfriend. I married him

Linkin Park, One More Light. Makes me ugly cry every single time

Another Elvis one - 'Don't Cry Daddy ' i just cant listen to it without crying

Ah, luna, definitely In the ghetto. So moving.

As a child, Streets of London used to make me inconsolable. I still can't listen to it now.

Everglow by Coldplay, makes me think of late DM

Memories by Maroon 5-- just kills me every time

Puff daddy I’ll be missing you, every time like a baby

Hey thats no way to say goodbye by leonard cohen

Fix you by Coldplay

"how come things move on, how come cars don't slow, when it feels like the end of my world" perfectly sums up how I felt the morning she died...she died at 4am (as many people do - something to do with blood pressure) and we came out the hospice about 7am and the world was just carrying on. So surreal.

Heaven is a place nearby by Lene Marlin - worth checking out on youtube- it has got me through some dark times when struggling with grief & loss

Love that Joni Mitchell song, both sides now, Lucy
For me, although I restrict myself cos I start bawling, is James Taylor singing Carolina in my Mind. He wrote it when he was in Europe and homesick. My family live in the exact place he's singing about, my chances of ever getting there again are zilch, so,yes, every so often I have a Pity Fest and play this. LOUD!

Slipping through my fingers.

Just welled up writing that.

Lipstick and Cocaine by Kaz Hawkins on YouTube, the live version. her voice..and the emotion
I came across it by accident and it just hurts my soul

Someone like you, Adele.

I agree about Slipping Through My Fingers - cried buckets at the theatre each time I've been to that!

Also Blood Brothers -

And Adele - When We Were Young

Bright Eyes - Simon & Garfunkel

Afire Love - Ed Sheeran

Faded - Alan Walker

Thousand Years - Christina Perri

Million Years Ago - Adele

I Miss You - Haddaway

Just Another Day Without You - Jon Secada

Linkin Park, One More Light. Makes me ugly cry every single time

Still can’t listen to Linkin Park without getting upset x
