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.

Say Something by A Great Big World with Christina Aguilera always gets me

Landslide, Stevie Nicks
Run, Snow Patrol
and strangely, Mr Bojangles
can't get through any of them without sobbing.

The Rose, Wind Beneath My Wings, Jessie's song from Toy Story 2, One Fine Day from Madam Butterfly, Fields of Gold. Loads - I cry at the drop of a hat!

MrsFring snap re Toy Story 2,

The Lark Ascending- Ralph Vaughn-Williams

It's so beautiful, I'm not a huge music person and I really only listen to a bit of Indie but this song hits me hard.

Run- Snow Patrol every.single.time
Even my dad does sometimes- Ed Sheeran
Wasn't expecting that- James Lawson
Amazing grace- sung all of my family's funerals
My immortal- evanescence
O holy night- sends shivers down my spine
By the grace of god- Katy Perry. It's the story behind it

@whocansay O Come All Ye Faithful gets me every time too 😢 Also Amazing Grace.
Any type of sporting crowd/ crowd anthem singing has me in bits.
Fix You by Coldplay
Bridge over Troubled Water is another
I was hard as nails before I had kids now I'm soft as 😂

Sand & Water by Beth Nielsen Chapman. Bucketfuls.

The Only Exception by Paramore
Summertime by My Chemical Romance
Stay by Blue October.

I realise these are a bit weird.

Ed Sheeran Castle on the Hill. I don't know why, just start sobbing when he sings about his friends and their lives.

This Woman's Work by Kate Bush:

Sweet Lullaby by Deep Forest:

The Gospel According to Darkness by Jane Siberry, particularly at the end where she imagines her mother as a newborn with no idea of the sufferings of life:

The video for Run Boy Run by Woodkid makes me cry with exhilaration every time I watch it:

Port Black have skipped to the end to say the song you are thinking of of ‘Starry Night’

Pointythings I think it’s the emotional range of her voice in the only exception and the lyrics “I’ve always lived like this, keeping a comfortable distance” get me every time 🤣

Sun keeps risin' by Lissie

Makes me think of my parents.

The Big Parade by 10000 Maniacs:

Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls

Also, Colder Weather by Zac Beown Band, one of my mum's favourites and we played it at her funeral. The lines at the end get me every time I listen to it:

When I close my eyes I see you
No matter where I am
I can smell your perfume through these whispering pines
I'm with your ghost again
It's a shame about the weather
I know soon we'll be together
And I can't wait 'til then

In The Ghetto.

Tear in heaven

Brothers in arms. Why are we killing and fighting?

Hurt by Johnny cash 😭

Nick Cave Into my Arms, just absolutely devastating. And in a more uplifting (and embarrassingly cheesy) way the "I am Moana" song from Moana where she's just been visited by the ghost of her grandma and decides to return the stone by herself

Love is meany a Spleandered thing. My late dad who died when I was a child, used to play that in his car when we used to go on drives

Also “River Flows in You” by Yiruma
