songs to cry to

[comeondover]

I need a good cry. What songs make you cry? I might make a playlist. The Disturbed version of The Sound of Silence gets the tears flowing for me, especially if I sing along loudly, although it's a marmite song here on mn.

Always Nick Cave -The ship song & Into my arms

Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits. And Bright Eyes by Art Garfunkel, every time!

I’m a Disturbed fan but not keen on their cover of Sound of Silence, but the rest of my family love it.

Sorry you need a cry and hope it helps.

For Crying Out Loud by Meatloaf.

Little bear by the Guillemots

'If you're looking for a way out' by Odyssey.

'Always on my mind' by Elvis.

'Everything I Own' by Bread.

'I'd Rather Go Blind' by Fleetwood Mac.

These are my go-to favourites if I need a blubber.

Afire Love - Ed Sheeran

Leaving Me Now - Level 42

My Immortal - Evanescence

Wind Beneath My Wings - Bette Midler

End of the Innocence - Don Henley

Faded - Alan Walker

Classical:
Road to Perdition theme - Thomas Newman

Romeo & Juliet Balcony theme - Craig Armstrong

Waterfalls - Alexis Ffrench

• A ton etoile (live version) - Noir desir
• Push the sky away (live at Sydney Opera House) - Nick Cave
• Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me - The Smiths

Wonderful Life - Black

Do You Remember - Phil Collins

Everybody Hurts - REM

For me Joan Baez “Diamonds & Rust” and Julie London “Cry me a river”.

I listened to nelly furtado- try.

Had a whole new meaning as an adult and i blubbed on the way into work listening to it because of how hard it hit home and how much i was struggling to manage everything and be everything for everyone and never feeling good enough

Ooh, lots of suggestions already, thank you all. Some I know and some I've never heard, so I will do some investigating.

Acoustic version of Wings by Birdy makes me sob, it was playing on the radio when we were driving home from the hospital after finding out I'd had my 13th miscarriage. It reminds me of all the babies I've lost ♥️ but it's a beautiful song x

Only Love Can Hurt Like This - Paloma Faith

Oh Skinny Love by Birdy is beautiful and a total tear jerker.

Wave Across The Bay - Frank Turner
Into My Arms -Nick Cave
Poke -Frightened Rabbit In fact, just about anything by Frightened Rabbit. I adore Frightened Rabbit but almost all their songs are very sad
Someone You Loved - Lewis Capaldi

The Billie ailish one from the Barbie film. No matter what I'm doing, it always makes me very, even just hearing one line of it!

@SisterImpera thank you for your kind words
@elm26 I'm so sorry for all your losses 💐

I had never heard of Birdy, but was about to add Bon Iver’s version of the same song.
