To ask what song makes you cry

[LloydColeandtheCoconuts]

For no reason.

Mine is Wings by Little Mix and I don’t really know why. I’m not even a fan of them, although they’re very cute. I’ve just listened to to the song and the tears are flowing. My DP is .
The other is God Only Knows but I understand why that would make me cry.

Anyway. what songs are guaranteed to make you have good cry.

Fields of Gold - Sting version or Eva Cassidy, it doesn’t matter. 😭😭😭

The Leningrad symphony by Shostakovich, specifically 16-19 minutes. Read the story of its premiere.

Heaven is a place nearby by Lena Marlena is a beautiful song about loss that both comforts & makes me sob

Little Mix are a shit manufactured pop band but wings is very stirring, the chord progression makes it sound all triumphant and hopeful and the lyrics about 'flying' and self esteem and whatever are the sort anyone can relate to. I'm not a fan but I can completely understand it being emotional.

Also road salt by pain of salvation.

And Steven Wilson "insurgentes"

Seven Years. I don't know why but the lyrics just get to me! And Mr Bojangles.

Queen - who wants to live forever
That is quite a sad song.

and

Bob Marley - sun is shining
I have no idea why.

To Where You Are by Josh Groban and I Find Your Love by Beth Nielsen Chapman remind me of my little Jack who lived for 2 hours also Stay Another Day by E17 which was no 1 when he was born.

Billons, but She Used To Be Mine from Waitress makes me cry even just thinking about it!

In terms of pop songs, So Close by Jon McClaughlin always makes me cry as it reminds me of a time when circumstances meant that now-DH and I couldn't be together.

Time to Say Goodbye - Andre Bocelli and Sarah Brightman

Gets me every time.

The Green Fields of France (The Fureys version). I can't listen to this without full on sobbing!

@ScaryMonstersAndSuperCreeps I'm so sorry for your loss. Those are beautiful songs.

Dance with my father, gets me every time. Tears in heaven is another one.

Adeles million years ago

Wings - Birdy
Stars - Simply Red
Travis - Flowers in your window

Days by The Kinks. Can’t get through it without sobbing.

Many Rivers to Cross - Jimmy Cliff.

His voice just gets me. Every time.

Oh scary I’m so sorry for your loss of lovely Jack

Fix You by Coldplay
Bridge Over Troubled Water

See you again by Charlie puth
Concrete angel by Martina mcbride

I'm sorry for your loss Scarymonsters

Wind Beneath My WIngs by Bette Midler. Used to play it in a band I was in, and I was head down sobbing each and every time.

Wherever you Are by the Military Wives choir.

Actually, I'm a sap and can cry at lots of songs.

I know it's corny, but Abba's 'Slipping Through My Fingers". I'm a wreck by the chorus!

Letter To A John.
By Ani DiFranco.

"I was 11 years old, he was as old as my dad, and he took something from me, I didn't even know that I had"

Someone like you and Feel my love both by Adele. I can't get to the end of them without sobbing. I had to pull over in the hard shoulder of the A1 once to compose myself.

Both songs remind me of my closest friend who passed away from Cancer
