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

Slipping through my fingers, I meant.

Jealous of the angels Donna Taggart
Fields of gold Eva Cassidy
Tears in heaven Eric Clapton
These three having me ugly crying every time I hear them.

If I Could Be Where You Are
By Enya
You'll never walk alone
I have a video on my phone of my late dd singing this when Celtic won the Scottish cup.

I love so many of these but want to add Crow by Bears Den and Bridge over Troubled Water. Both of these are in the list of songs that make me think of my parents; who’ve both died recently.

@minigrimms I’m trying to find Lullaby is it on an album?

Nights in white satin by Moody Blues, so emotional

I think the only song that’s ever made me cry was I Dreamed a Dream from Les Mis. I’d not long broken up me my ex-f when I went to see it.

How do I live without you, liane rhymes ( fil funeral)
Don't want to miss a thing , Aerosmith, when I was in labour with dd!

And many already mentioned

Suzanne Leonard Cohen
Little Green Joni Mitchell
LastThing On My Mind Tom Paxton
I Think It’s Going To Rain Today Nina Simone
Who Knows Where The Time Goes Sandy Denny

So many...

Who will sing me lullabies - Kate Rusby
Throw me to the wind - Elbow Jane
Redemption Road - Tom Paxton
The Joy of Living - Ewan MacColl
Sometimes when we touch - Dan Hill

Little Green -Joni Mitchell so flipping sad if you know context.

Nick Cave- last 2 albums ditto re context

Nick Drake- most songs, his voice floors me

Neil Young birds mentioned previously above love this song so much.

Sunshine on Leith - just heartbreakingly sad

Side by Travis
My brother listened to it all the time before he died
So it reminds me of him.

“Forever Autumn” by Justin Hayward. Reminds me so much of a special person many years ago. I can hardly bear to listen to it.

“Desecration Smile” by the RHCP. I listened to it a lot when I was in a dark place and the words summed up how I felt at that time. It still makes me feel really melancholy.

Also Adele’s “Someone like you” and “Sunshine on Leith” by the Proclaimers both have me wailing.

ABBA-Slipping Through My Fingers. One for mums of teenage dds.

Always

😥

Sarah Mclachlan - Angel

Every.single.time. 😭

Your house by alana morissette
Concrete angel kills me absolutely cant listen to it

@DoorstoManual

Slipping through my fingers.

Just welled up writing that.

me too, every time!

May you never - John Martyn.

“May you never lay your head down without a hand to hold”

Makes me weep every time.

To the moon and back by Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson; Dance with my father again by Luther Vandross.

Can't make you love me - George Michael

Somewhere over the rainbow - Eva Cassidy

Ava Maria

Most of the carpenters songs!

The Only Thing by Sufjan Stevens

11:43 onwards of the 17-minute track 'Djohariah' which he wrote for his sister who was in an abusive relationship.

I shouldn’t have read this thread, I’m weeping without having listened to the songs.
