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.

Reckoning Song by Asaf Avidan
Moments of Pleasure by Kate Bush

Both guaranteed to work!

Streets of Philadelphia - Bruce Springsteen

That song is called As. It's by Stevie x

Walk Away - Cast

Quite Miss Home - James Arthur....reminds me of my hometown and mum who lives 3 hours away and how much I missed not being able to see her during the lockdowns, especially the first, seemingly endless one.

Oh, Unknown Male 01 by Biffy Clyro too, going back to Biffy (and linking to Frightened Rabbit from a PP earlier).

With You from Ghost

God I'm getting teary thinking about it

Ou and my fave is The FirsTime Ever I Saw Your Face - Roberta Flack gets me every time 💚

@Lovemydoggie and it's Mary J BLIGE

Passenger -'Let Her Go'.

Annie's Song - John Denver

Seasons in the Sun- Terry Jacks

Seven Silver Sands- Bob Dylan

Mama - Connie Francis

I wasn't expecting that - jamie lawson

I honestly love you by Olivia Newton John always does it for me.

"He was my brother" another Paul Simon.

Journey South's cover of this really gets me

Fallen - Volbeat
Life eternal - Ghost

Till - Shirley Bassey

I Think Its Going To Rain Again- Dusty Springfield

Where Are You Now, My Love? - Jackie Trent

Fields of Gold - Sting - reminds me of where I used to live, where friends and family with young children used to visit us and the children played in the fields of barley. I completely identify with this song.

The Scientist - Coldplay

Sufjan Stevens song 'Fourth of July' is the saddest song in the world. It's autobiographical, about the death of his mother.
