Songs that make you sob

[TheCrowening]

I know there’s a thread about breakup songs, but reading it got me thinking about those songs that you just can’t listen to without crying.

For me it’s Disappear by Dream Theater, particularly the live version. I actually can’t even read the lyrics without tearing up. Embarrassingly I once heard it played in a pub and ended up having to hide in the toilets until my face was presentable again.

I don't think any have made me sob...maybe tear up a little if I felt sad already.

Puff the Magic Dragon !

Mr Bo Jangles (not Robbie's swing version) It's the line "you see son I drinks a bit" that gets me.
Also, Keep your head up by Ben Howard - got me through a tough time but now reminds me of my brother who passed away.

Send in the Clowns
Geoff Buckleys Lilac Wine, theres a moment when his voice catches and you can hear heartbreak
Judy Boucher Cant be with you tonight

Oh wow @scrappydappydo I forgot about that song - my DC's both sang that in a school play and I was bawling - as discreetly as you can in a school hall! Will have to listen to something else now so I don't think about the lyrics!😁
You are right @sandgrown - I always found it sad. People really love it though!
This is clearly not the thread for me - damn you perimenapause, not only can I not sleep but I have PMT 4 weeks a month!

I don't actually cry but feel close to tears when I hear Dance With My Father Again. Also, Walking in Memphis, affects me although I love it. I have another song that makes me cry for deeply personal reasons but I am working on it to try to make it positive.

Puff the Magic Dragon !

Oh yes, Puff The Magic Dragon definitely.

I hope you dance by Lee Ann Womack makes me cry.

I love my life Robbie Williams.

Both songs make me think of my little girls and what I wish for them.

Hope There's Someone by Antony & The Johnsons. Totally destroys me.

Hardy- one beer.
Im a fan of modern country.

The Scientist - Coldplay. Every time.

Long live the queen by Frank Turner
Really makes me bawl

The Promise by Tracy Chapman

Fix you by Coldpplay.

Ewan McGregor singing 'Your song' in Moulin Rouge. Even thinking about that makes me emosh

Baby of Mine from Dumbo

Wind beneath my wings by bette midler.

Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton - Ever since I learned the story behind this I've been unable to listen to it without getting teary.

How can I tell you? Cat Stevens

Stranger in Paradise from Kismit. My grandparents danced to this on their honeymoon and it was played at my Grandad's funeral 😢

First time I saw your face by Roberta Flack. Played daily throughout pregnancy wondering who I was about to meet. He's 8 now and just thinking about it has the tears rolling down my face.

Into my Arms by Nick Cave, Fear is Like a Forest by Courtney Barnett and Kurt Vile

First time I saw your face by Roberta Flack

Can’t listen to that song without thinking of the Inbetweeners 2 film 😂😂😭

Not songs but:

@expectopelargonium

Just misread your thread title. I thought it said: "Soups that make you sob"

French onion?

Bright Eyes
Fields of Barley
Nothing Compares to You (because Sinead O'Connor cries in it remembering her mum which in turn reminds me of my mum losing her mum very prematurely and also crying at this song!)
