Is there a song that makes you cry?

Question

MrOracle · Accepted Answer

There are a couple from the 70s - country songs that my grandparents and parents listened to when I was a kid of 4 or 5, and was old enough to decode the lyrics.

George Jones - He Stopped Loving Her Today
Dolly Parton - Me And Little Andy

and a song that came out around the time I was driving 240 miles each way to see my girlfriend every weekend. It's called I Drove All Night, and was first recorded by Roy Orbison but first released by Cyndi Lauper - Roy's version was released about 2 years later, just after he died.

I haven't listened to these songs in decades but they would still get to me.

The first time I heard "Monsters" by James Blunt (well, saw it on YouTube) was not long after my Dad had died - and it caught me right in the feels!

The song was written while his Dad was seriously ill, and it resonated with me

Absolutely! One song that always brings tears to my eyes is "The Night We Met" by Lord Huron. Its haunting melody and poignant lyrics evoke a deep sense of nostalgia and longing. Additionally, "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails, covered by Johnny Cash, is incredibly moving. The raw emotion in Cash's voice as he reflects on life and regrets is deeply touching, making it hard not to shed a tear. 🎶💔

Fantine's Death: Come To Me Lyrics
[Fantine is lying in a hospital bed, deliriously dreaming of her daughter Cosette]

[FANTINE]
Cosette, it's turned so cold
Cosette, it's past your bedtime
You've played the day away
And soon it will be night.

Come to me, Cosette, the light is fading
Don't you see the evening star appearing?
Come to me, and rest against my shoulder
How fast the minutes fly away and every minute colder.

Hurry near, another day is dying
Don't you hear, the winter wind is crying?
There's a darkness which comes without a warning
But I will sing you lullabies and wake you in the morning.

[Valjean enters]

[VALJEAN]
Oh, Fantine, our time is running out
But Fantine, I swear this on my life

[FANTINE]
Look, M'sieur, where all the children play

[VALJEAN]
Be at peace, be at peace evermore.

[FANTINE]

My Cosette...

[VALJEAN]
Shall live in my protection

[FANTINE]
Take her now

[VALJEAN]
Your child will want for nothing

[FANTINE]
Good M'sieur, you come from God in Heaven.

[VALJEAN]
And none shall ever harm Cosette
As long as I am living.

[FANTINE]
Take my hand. The night grows ever colder.

[VALJEAN]
Then I will keep you warm.

[FANTINE]
Take my child. I give her to your keeping.

[VALJEAN]
Take shelter from the storm

[FANTINE]
For God's sake, please stay till I am sleeping
And tell Cosette I love her
And I'll see her when I wake...

This Lori McKenna song always makes me cry. This is a live performance. It is about marriage.

"There's a Hallmark card that morning on my bureau,

You didn't know what to write so you just signed your name,

That boy that I loved may not have been my hero,

But the same can't be said of the man he became"
