Well.. I have a few for different reasons. I haven’t heard these in a while, except for the ‘umbrella one.’ 🌂 ☔️ ☂

(4 songs)

[1]

^^ this one is sad because I could feel the struggle in it, in trying to do the right thing, and it was in a film which Chadwick Boseman used to be in, so having his passing was in the back of my mind throughout the film, and these songs were powerful to me. Sad as well.

^^this one is somewhat sad because you can feel the desire to accomplish and live well. It’s a sweet sadness. To me, at least.

[3]

^^ This one is sad because the desire is more agonizing in theme, and quite desperate. I heard this at a time in my life that was quite numb and powerless/ impact-less. I had blasted this song and I can’t remember if I shouted along, or what, but yeah… I don't know if it actually helped. 😂 You need other songs after this one, to actually give good perspective, otherwise this song- though some could relate- gives no perspective and will just promote a downward emotional spiral 🌀 or stagnation, really. Be careful with it. lol definitely have a positive song like ‘dancing?’ by Megan trainor? Or ‘good to be alive’ by Andy grammar lol <— something loose.

^^ This one was sad. It reminded me of my mom and I had been missing her. This song is still hopeful though, and funny enough, it actually rained the day I played this for the first time and had cried to it. It was almost a “spiritual experience- like.” Although I’m not much of a spiritual person anymore lol.

Anyways, hopefully these resonate in line with the question. ☺️👍

Not full cry but def lump in my throat. Pretty difficult for me to actually cry, I trained it out of my system early on, can’t just get back the ability willy nilly😛 — too bad bc it’s good for your eyes!

Gunners dream, Pink Floyd

Danny Boy, Paul Robeson

im sure there’s more lol but for now they’ll do

There are four that come to mind. All intertwined within one another for they all relate to a painful memory that exists within my brain. One that surfaces every now and again. 1st >  My December - Linkin Park A month of celebration for many. Not so much for me. A letter is my Christmas present. A constant reminder of a renewal detailing the battle one has to endure for another year. 2nd >  Majesty Featuring Veela - Ben Moon It's the last sentence of the pre-chorus that hits the hardest and reminds me of that day in December: "How cruel have we become 
 To know what we have done 
 Tomorrow, another one, "Dear you're not here" 
 We watched them leave 
 Leave our homes" 3rd >  The Little Things Give You Away - Linkin Park On that day in December, one day I'll never forget for the rest of my life, I played this at full blast in my car. The guitar solo deserves that at the very least. 4th >  Shadow of the Day - Linkin Park A few December's have now past since the one deep rooted in my memory. Life could've turned out so different back then, such that I wouldn't be responding to this post today. The fact I can still listen to this song is factual proof I'm still here, enduring the pain years later. A lifelong battle of endurance, as each day passes, I'm  1stp Klosr  to what I need to work towards. Once I've finished, only then and not a moment before, I shall then  close both locks on the window below. Referencing the 2nd song, I'll then await the Sister of Blades  [to]  take my soul 
 (Feel the drums and they hum so loud 
 Shooting guns from a one-man crowd) 
 Release my pain, one-handed blow.

"Diary" by Bread. The Kilkelly Ireland Song

Avicenna · Answer

None, TBH. Why would a song make me cry?

Keyboardkat · Answer

There are a number of them, but I think the Irish song, "Londonderry Air," also called "Oh, Danny Boy," has to be one of the saddest songs ever written! And I'm not even Irish!

Also, over 50 years ago, a girl I loved very much had broken up with me during a visit to her parents' home. As she (with her sister along as chaperone!) was driving me to the airport afterward, a song that was popular at the time came on the car radio. It was the song "Softly (I will leave you softly, 'cause my heart would break if you should wake and see me go...)" Boy, was THAT hard to take under those tough circumstances! I should have asked them to turn it off but I just couldn't. In the long run it was for the best, but, you know...

Massageman · Answer

Almost any song my mom would play on the piano, but especially "Claire de Lune" by Debussy. I found out at her wake that she almost went to Hollywood to do piano playing and singing. She decided to stay in the midwest for several reasons I won't go into, but never lost her love for music. After she could no longer play the piano due to physical limitations, she switch ed to the organ, which looks harder but is easier on the hands. At over 70, I'm finding this out as well on my one piano and two organs.

Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt is the one that gets me closest to crying because the emotion he sings it with, and knowing that it was at the end of his life makes those emotions more poignant in my opinion.

LiamJHayden · Answer

None. The closest for me is probably Jars of Clay's "Fly." It is based on the story of a couple fighting a losing battle against the wife's cancer. Specifically, it is about the moment at which her husband "lets her go".

Mkamara · Answer

Silence - Khalid nd Marshmallow just does something to me. The lyrics are so in tune with my situations and it’s like he had been watching me and wrote that song about me specifically. It makes me so sad that even when I’m happy I always skip it so I won’t be triggered.
