To ask what songs make you cry?

[CaptainCabinets]

I’m slightly hungover and a bit delicate so more sensitive than usual...

I’m just chilling out listening to a playlist, Travelin’ Soldier by Dixie Chicks came on and I am BAWLING.

What songs make you cry?

Oh and anything on David Bowie's last album Blackstar.

Because of You by Kelly Clarkson

Not my usual taste in music - but the lyrics really get to me. I'm planning on singing it at my crazy dad's funeral.

‘ You took my life with you’ from the musical Ghost.

It’s one of Simon Cowel’s favourite songs so I’m with the experts on this one

Dance with my farther again...on so many levels!!

Dancing in the sky by danni and lizzy

Pretty much every song ever recorded gets me tearful, but just lately it's been Come On by Will Young.
It's a combination of the video, lyrics, and his voice, but it just reminds me of my best friend who has really pushed me to do something I was too scared to do, and couldn't have done without their endless help & support.
When I finally did it, I just had this image in my head of them saying 'come on, come on, come on' and encouraging me every step of the way, for years, as I completely, repeatedly fucked up. But they didn't give up.

Another one for 'into my arms' by Nick Cave
Couldn't love you more - John Martyn

Landslide. Fleetwood Mac
The Weight. The Band

These are the days of our lives by Queen

Phil Collins You can't hurry love. Song I had my first kiss to. Still have never loved anyone as much as I loved my first love. Together 9 years and split up close to 30!! Still love him 😢

This song.

Also There You'll Be by Faith Hill which was played at my Grandads funeral
One Sweet Day by Boys II Men and Mariah Carey, played at my brothers funeral, he was 31 when he died of Sudden Adult Death, he spent some time as a DJ so sometimes I hear a song such as Nothings Gonna Stop Us Now which he would play a lot and that makes me feel sad

The Beatles - Hey Jude
Neil Diamond - Shilo

Ronan by Taylor Swift - Written about a 3 year old boy who died of cancer, and it is genuinely the saddest thing I have ever heard in my life

Say Something by A Great Big World

And I agree so much with a pp about Puff the Magic Dragon, why we were taught that in primary school I'll never know, it's so sad!

Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton (especially the story behind it )
Desperado - The Eagles
One More Try - George Michael
Days of our Lives - Queen
Kissing You - Dess'ree

Also to add to that
Ozzy Osbourne - I'm here for you

Me and my ex wanted it as our wedding song as the words resinated with is alot, but now I can't even listen to it, as it just makes me too upset.

Rainy Days and Mondays - The Carpenters
This Womans Work - Kate Bush
The Blowers Daughter - Damien Rice

Sure there are loads, but specifically 5 make me bawl .

3 have all been played at funeral (one my beloved DGM who I adored) 2 songs were going to be. I love the songs but almost never listen to them.

Hello again - Neil Diamond
Who wants to live forever - Queen
Written in the stars - Westlife
Winter light - Linda Rondstadt

Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye - Gracie Fields

When she loved me - Sarah McLachan
(The song from toy story 2)

So many of these also make me cry!
I challenge you to google " to where you are" edpecially the g4 version or josh groban

‘Father and son’ by Peter Gabriel. Reminds me of how I felt about my Dad as a small boy and then when I was growing up. “With my Dad by my side, I could turn back the tide”. Oh crikey - I’m welling up just typing that. Miss you , Dad, you old bugger.

SO MANY SONGS.

The one I actually can't listen to now is called "Good Intentions" by Huw and Tony Williams, but no-one's ever heard of it or them so I'm usually safe. Played it at my mum's funeral and bawled. The chorus goes

"And I know you tried, you did it all somehow, but you can let go now."

Oh dear :'(

Also:

Wasted Time by the Eagles (and the instrumental reprise)
Older Chests by Damien Rice
Because of You by Kelly Clarkson
I Shall Be Released by The Band
Helpless by Neil Young
How To Save A Life by Snow Patrol
Goodbye England by Laura Marling...

I could go on and on!

George Michael - Different Corner. Chris Martin's version made me laugh like a loon though.

Lana Del Rey - Summertime Sadness. Top tip - if you want to ruin a song, use it for your DH's funeral. I daren't listen to it now, even 3 and a half years later.

Athlete - Wires, I don't even have DCs!
