What Was The Last Song That Made You Cry?

Question

Mine: I was on the freeway the other day headed to work, felt fine then this song came on and next thing I know I'm sobbing really hard (doing 75-80 on the freeway isn't the best time/place to have a meltdown) but the lyrics of this song well it's exactly how I feel since my husband passed and it just hit me...

I am so sorry, my beautiful friend. My heart broke when I read your words. I understand why that song would effect you so deeply.

Music can definitely have an emotional effect on me. The most recent song, though, was the following.

I shared a question a couple weeks ago asking people to share a song that they found meaningful/socially inspiring. At the time, I was feeling a bit depressed about how divided this country is.

abc3643 shared a couple songs. One was:

It hit me kind of hard. I had forgotten all about it. It was the perfect answer to my question. I have to admit that my heart swelled and I misted up.

I was still a kid in Catholic grammar school when this stuff was happening, but I remember good hearted, progressive nuns and a priest who were young and inspired by the changes that were taking place.
When I started 10 grade in high school in 1969, one of the groups I fell in with was the "hippie clique". We were too young to be real hippies. That era had passed. But we were all about the civil rights movement, women's rights, peace and love. We were full of hope for the future. What happened?

When I saw the video I thought, these were my people. And this song expressed my wishes for humanity.

AVE MARIA - WHICH IS A 'PIECE' AS WELL AS HAVING LYRICS. A MOST BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF MUSIC, and to hear it played by - Anastasiya Petryshak is a time not easily forgotton

Despite being one of the world’s favourite settings of ‘Ave Maria’, Schubert never actually wrote a piece called ‘Ave Maria’.

Schubert’s music was actually called ‘Ellens dritter Gesang’, which translates as ‘Ellen’s Third Song’. He wrote it in 1825, aged 28, to the words of Sir Walter Scott’s epic poem The Lady of the Lake. The song does contain the words ‘Ave Maria’, but only in reference to the prayer itself.

Now one of Schubert’s most popular works, ‘Ave Maria’ has been recorded by numerous artists, with lyrics that largely differ from the original poem.

Andrea Bocelli, Maria Callas and Celine Dion have all recorded beautiful versions, as has the inimitable Luciano Pavarotti:

My goal for my violin is to be able to play this piece to a piano accompaniment.

"BRAINS' perhaps you could accompany me on the piano, and sing as well? Thank you for asking. Watch Anastasiya on YouTube. You may tear up too !

This is a song that if I don't skip past it within those first few keystrokes on the piano, I will be bawling my eyes out. And that's what happening this morning when I was cleaning up. Couldn't get to my phone fast enough and so I just sat on the floor and cried my eyes out. My little cousin was killed 2 years ago the week before Thanksgiving and this song just shatters me every time I hear it. I thought I had all the time in the world with him.

Against All Odds by Phill Collins (okay first, my parents raised me on 80s music and movies) but when I was driving my jeep up to college, it came on the radio, and I immediately thought about Lee and breaking up with him after more than a year together! I did want to break up, he didn’t do anything wrong, but I just felt that the long distance thing would never work out! It definitely made me cry!

Well, crying for me these days is just getting choked up...

But listening to "Slave Knight Gael" from the Dark Souls 3 soundtrack had that effect on me. Dark Souls is a series of games dear to me... my profile pic and background has been from the game and I've never changed it. And I suppose it's because for me it's the last vestige of art and beauty in a world obsessed with sex, drugs, and money. Dark Souls was always good for the sake of being good, subtle for the sake only being noticed by those who cared enough to look... Slave Knight Gael is the last challenge you face in the series, and he's worthy of the position. An enslaved immortal undead forced to fight for centuries... he follows you to the end of the world to obtain The Dark Soul in order help his lady paint a new world. Consuming the Dark Soul drives him mad, and in killing him you use his blood as pigment for the painting. He fights with fervor, empowered by the Dark Soul. You fight in a barren, sandy wasteland, lightning is striking everywhere, he's shooting red stuff from his cloak, and the music makes it all the more dramatic. It just is an epic culmination of beauty... and I know it may sound petty to someone who doesn't really understand... but it's one of the few things that makes me feel good, and that's what the song represents when I hear it.

I was out for a long walk outside, and two women, evidently heading in the same direction, were walking ahead of me, while they listened to some tunes from an MP3 player (or phone; I couldn't see). One of them (the one whose player it was, I gather) said "Oh, this is a good song- my brother used it at his wedding, for the mother-son dance. It's from Dumbo." And my ears perked up, because I hear "song from Dumbo", I think "Pink elephants on parade" which is really NOT a wedding song. Needless to say, it wasn't; it was "Baby mine", which got me thinking of my mother, and I had to walk away and go sit down for a while.

Stupid death.

They had played this song at my little sister's funeral and all I can think when listening to this song is my little sister Lilly. She was five years old, my only sibling she was born with some kind of cancer I don't remember what it was called. She was my best friend and it has really been hard without her, but everyone else has tried to forget about her besides me. She meant the world to me the most if I could do anything in the world it would be with my little sister. FLY HIGH LITTLE SISTER<3 RIP Lilly Ann Garcia💔😭

This song, makes me cry like a waterfall
Its such a sad song about child abuse. It tells a story about a little child writting a letter to Jesus. She tells her story about other children being beaten and tells about her story about being beaten.

I'm getting teary eyed just telling you about the song

The song hits too close to my real childhood life and to painfull to hear it in full

IAMNathanael · Answer

Last song I cried to was Red Hot Chili Peppers song 'Under the Bridge'

I know the song is about drug use but I relate it to the times I lived close to my dad but had to move far from him. It was our jam for car cruising and road trips. You're right, the car is a great place for a break down.

"Take me to the place I loooove"
"Take me all the way"
"I don't ever want to feeeeel"
"Like I did that day"

It may be an oldie from the early '70s by Ringo Starr, off his 1973 'RINGO' album called 'Photograph' I can't help but every time I hear that song, I weep like a baby.
It makes me think of the people I knew and lost, my parents, my brother, a next-door neighbor girl,
and celebrities I grew up listening to and watching, knowing that they won't be back again.
Makes me lose it. This has got to be the saddest song ever recorded. give it a listen, crying will do your heart some good.

The only one and only when I was younger because my dad lied to me and said it really happened lol... what a troll. But it was Pearl Jam Last Kiss. Dont get me wrong it's a heart breaking song and it does happen. But my dad told me this guy sang it about his wife which hit me harder feeling so sorry for him. Dad laughed after and I punched him in the arm.
