Which songs make you cry?

[Sashacolby]

I just listened to Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine, and I remember they played it in Coronation Street when Aidan Connor took his own life. I know it's just a soap but it was heartbreaking and a 23 year old girl from my local area took her own life earlier this year, it just made me think of her.
There are other songs which have the same effect, interested to hear about any other songs that have this effect on people!

This Woman's work - Kate Bush
Coat of Many Colours - Dolly Parton, 'that my mama made for me' 😭
Don't cry Daddy - Elvis
Everything I own - Bread
Brothers in Arms - Dire Straights
Take you away - Angus & Julia Stone
Everybody Hurts - REM
James Blunt - Monsters
Yesterday yes a day - Jane Birkin
Country Roads - John Denver

I was hoping all day at work that Haunted by Sinead O'Connor and Shane MacGowan wouldn't be played on the radio. Very sad any day but tragic today.

Babe - Take That
If I Could Turn Back Time - Aqua
If You Asked Me To - Patti LaBelle

A Coral Room - Kate Bush

(If you thought This Woman's Work was a tearjerker...)

My Mum used to sing The Rose to me as a child and even then I used to ask her not to and pick another song because it was too sad!

The ones that always get me are Black by Pearl Jam, Machines by Biffy Clyro and Jesus Christ by Brand New.

Forever Autumn - Jeff Lynn War of the worlds

"Like the sun through the trees you came to love me,
Like a leaf on a breeze you blew away"

Has me sobbing everytime 😪

Visiting hours - Ed Sheeran

Fields of Gold - Sting
Played at my friends funeral who was killed 2 days after turning 20. Everytime I hear this the tears are uncontrollable.

She by Laura Mvula. She’s a beautiful singer. Her songs are really powerful.
Also that song Sunscreen.

Move closer by Phyllis Nelson, my best friend's favourite song when she was killed in a car crash at 23 😞

Oh gosh this. I'd just embarked on what would be a five year relationship with a two year crush.

I was 21 and he was 29 and it was 1985. We had the absolute best five years together but, considering he was such a crush, we were destined to always be better friends than lovers.

I'm now married to someone else with two teen DCs. He never settled, but we're still great friends and I'm meeting him next week for our annual Christmas catch-up.

What I learned from it all though is be careful what you wish for.

Wandering by Frank Sinatra, from his late 60s album Circles.

Then I turn the LP over and listen to his version of Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now. His is played faster and upbeat so it shouldn't be moving but damn, it really is, it's as if it's seems better for the emotion being suppressed.

Athlete - Wires
Coldplay - Fix You

both amazing, meaningful songs guaranteed to make me sob

Tears in heaven. Eric Clapton.
Someone you loved.. Lewis Capaldi.
Everybody hurts... R.E.M.
If tomorrow never comes...Ronan Keating.
Because you loved me. Celine Dionne.
Somewhere over the rainbow.... This was my Mum's favorite song and ironically just after she had passed and we were allowed to go back in the room to see her this song was actually playing on the radio. The sense of peace and love in that room was completely indescribable. My DD said the same thing. It seems weird to say about the time when my died but If I could bottle up that feeling and sell it I'd be a billionaire in a week.

On my own... Patti Labelle and Michael McDonald. I don't know why though as I've never been through a bad break up or been in love but for some reason this one really gets to me

Runaway Train. Soul Asylum.

The theme from Forest Gump, I was given the soundtrack CD around the time I was mourning a beloved relative nearly 30 years ago. I reduces me to a sobbing mess if I ever hear or even think of the song.

Everybody Hurts touched a nerve when it came out, and still makes me feel sad instantly.

She’s Leaving Home(The Beatles), was released to raise money when Childline was launched. It was way too close to home for me as a victim of SA, and it was on the radio all the time triggering me. Ironic how it was released to raise money for Childline, but each time it was played I was traumatised further by bringing my thoughts to the SA I suffered (and was trying to blank out in order to survive from day to day).

I'm leaving on a jet plane.

Anything sung by Karen Carpenter.

Numb - Linkin Park
Popular Monster - Falling in Reverse
When I was going through a hard time, both of these would have me balling.

Watched on YouTube with the music videos, these get me going:
Wrong side of heaven
Remember Everything - All 3 by 5FDP
Gone Away

a little soul - pulp

gets me every time, especially the bit where he sings "you look like me... but please dont turn out like me"

Just Like a Pill - Pink. I was at work and they played it on the radio just after it was announced that they had found the bodies of Holly and Jessica from Soham. I always think of them when I hear it.
