Songs you've cried to

[DreamThrall]

This thread is dedicated to those songs you've had on repeat for hours on end while you sobbed hysterically over that girl/boy/whatever, etc. List yours!

Smashing Pumpkins - Mayonnaise
Counting Crows - Long December
A New Found Glory - First Kiss (yeah, in retrospect, I'm fairly ashamed of this, don't ask - but I ended up marrying her :cheers:)

[Pi Mu Rho]

Guns 'n' Roses - November Rain - makes me cry every time.

[Angry Lawyer]

Bon Jovi - Nobody's Hero

-Angry Lawyer

[ComradeBadger]

The Libertines - Albion/Arctic Monkeys - Bigger Boys And Stolen Sweethearts

[Absinthe]

"How To Disappear Completely" by Radiohead
"Alberto Balsalm" by Aphex Twin
"A Beautiful Place Out In The Country" by Boards of Canada
"Everything You Do Is Balloon" by Boards of Canada

And when I saw "Hurt" performed live by Nine Inch Nails, I cried like a baby.

Most of the time, however, I've been under the heavy influence of alcohol. Otherwise, I just get pretty teary.

[h00dlum]

[evil^milk]

the end has no end, by the strokes

[*~Alex~*]

[Qonfused]

A Warm Place by Nine Inch Nails. I don't know why, but it hits me hard.

[CptStern]

CopaCabana ..but for other reasons (http://www.musiq.pl/images/38/Barry_Manilow_Greatest_Hits.jpg)

[Insano]

Amsterdam - Coldplay

[Kangy]

The Luckiest and Late by Ben Folds, and How To Disappear Completely & Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead. I Wanna Be Adored by The Stone Roses made me cry for silly fun reasons, too.

[riomhaire]

Fields of Gold-Don't know who
Reminds me of my dead grandfather

[CptStern]

cant say I've ever heard that song

[CrazyHarij]

Im swedish i dont cry...:smoking:

Hah, that's so true. Really is. But I wish I had, because I've been so damn moved by some tracks.

Here's some that got me pretty close there though:

Boards of Canada - Amo Bishop Roden
Store N Forward - Bering Straight (Zilent Zpotti mix)
Chicane - Early
Bad Loop - Her Wings of Wax
Hanz Zimmer & Liza Gerrard - Now we are Free

[RandomX]

Paint it Black - The Rolling Stones
Creep - Stone Temple Pilots
Midlife Crisis -The Ministry
Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers
My December - Linkin Park
Dust in the Wind - Kansas

After a while, all those songs make me break down. They'll keep me in a bad or sad mood if I'm in one, except Dust in the Wind... that song cheers me up from a bad mood and puts me into one if I'm not.

[TheAntipop]

I don't put a 'sad' or slow song on when I'm sad anyway. But I can't say I'm ever really that sad or teary alot anyway. The times I have been sad over some silly girl or whatever I've usually just continued playing music I play every other day.

Paint it Black - The Rolling Stones
Creep - Stone Temple Pilots
Midlife Crisis -The Ministry
Under the Bridge - Red Hot Chili Peppers

paint it black by the stones?

"I see a red door and I want to paint it black" .....man you're sensitive ;)

[Llama]

I Still Haven't Found What Im Looking For - U2 Rattle + Hum album.:(
Id just received a bollocking from my first girlfriend :dork:

[RandomX]

paint it black by the stones?

"I see a red door and I want to paint it black" .....man you're sensitive ;)

Yes, I am. That song makes me think of the day my grandmom died. "No colors anymore I want them to turn black". When I found out about it, I felt like my whole world around me just collapsed. She was my favorite person in the world ;(

[MorneHeru]

Nine Inch Nails - Hurt

Don't know why though. :-/

[Qonfused]

Some soft songs/instumentals by Nine Inch Nails tear me up when I listen to them at the right time (La Mer, A Warm Place, Adrift and at Peace) and others (Non Entity, Terrible Lie (live), The Day The World Went Away, and somtimes All The Love In The World -- for some reason).

[Absinthe]

"La Mer" is a beautiful song.

[DeusExMachina]

I found Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt very emotional and...well...hurt. The way he sings it...its like he's about to die soon (you know, before he actually died). Makes me sad.

Two Headed Boy Part 2-Neutral Milk Hotel
Take Me Somewhere Nice-Mogwai
Staralfur-Sigur Ros
Mechanical Birds-Modest Mouse

[Septih]

I found Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt very emotional and...well...hurt. The way he sings it...its like he's about to die soon (you know, before he actually died). Makes me sad.

I just listened to it and found the opposite... :/

I'm aware of his situation at the time, but i still think Trent does it with more feeling... just my opinion anyway.


On topic, i havn't properly cried at songs, but i've come near with NiN - Hurt and Athlete - Wires as well as Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely

[Dalamari]

After finishing the Beatles Anthology, I listened to Because by The Beatles and it made me get a lil tied up

And yes, it is sad that I cried over the break-up of a band from the 60's

[PoeticRocker]

Roy Orbison - Cryin
Barry Manilow - The Old Songs
Andre Brocelli dude - Time To Say Goodbye = damn oprah...
Quarterflash - Harden My Heart
Jimi Hendrix - Bold As Love

[nofx]

didnt cry but came close
dido eminem song about the suicide or w.e

[bam23]

Linkin Park songs.


JJJJJJJKKKKKKKKKK

[Qonfused]

Untitled - Simple Plan.

Rofllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.

[jerkasaur]

whisky lulluby... if i've written that correctly... makes me think of someone i never told how much i cared about... now she's gone and i'm loosing hope in finding her...

[D€vIL²]

I don't think ive ever cried to a song...

[The Mullinator]

June Mermaid. It's actually a piece from the game Xenogears.

[Adabiviak]

Two do it almost every time:

Mothers of the Disappeared - U2
Don't Give Up - Peter Gabriel

[Murray_H]

Shatner's rendition of Rocket Man

[Lucid]

Nirvana - Kurt's Suicide Note...read by Courtney Love.
If you can even call that a "song".

If not then... Johnny Cash - Hurt and NIN - Hurt and Athlete
Never cried to any song, they just made me feel like it.

[TheAntipop]

I guess High Hopes by Pink Floyd makes me a little... meh-sad. But I'm more happy when listening to that than sad 'cause its an awesome song.

EDIT:


Don't Give Up - Peter Gabriel

Thinking about it, yes, this does make me a little sad, too.

[Reaktor4]

:laugh:

[Angry Lawyer]

Don't Give Up - Peter Gabriel

You've reached the level of "absolute legend".

Seriously, people, listen to "Nobody's Hero". It'll make your eyes sting.

-Angry Lawyer

[kaf11]

let it be - the beatles

[TheGrimSweeper]

MANOWAR - BATTLE HYMN.

*SNIFF* SO BEAUTIFUL!

By moonlight we ride
Ten thousands side by side
With swords drawn held high
Our whips and armours shine
Hail to thee our infantry
Still brave beyond the grave
All have sworn the eternal vow
The time to strike is now

Gone are the days when freedom shone
Now blood and steel meet bone
In the light of the battle's way
The sands of time will shade
How proud our soldiers stand
With mace and chain in hand
Sound the charge into glory ride
Over the top of the vanguished pride

To the battle we ride
We crossed a starlit sky
No space no time
We'll catch the wind
Strange losses, men died
We crossed a starlit sky
And still no space or time
We'll catch the wind

Sound of charge into glory ride
Over the top of the anguished pride
By moonlight we ride
Ten thousand side by side

[MorneHeru]

Seriously, people, listen to "Nobody's Hero". It'll make your eyes sting.

-Angry Lawyer

Which album's it on?

[Space Farm]

Voodoo Chile/d & All Along The Watchtower

[Dalamari]

Some of Peter Gabriel's best songs are his Genesis days, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is an amazing album

[-Psy-]

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters and Mama Said

Sometimes they make me cry...otherwise they make me stop doing what I was doing and just listen to it. But at the same time it makes me happy. Damn good songs imo.

Oh yeah, and the Scientist by Coldplay, moving song :'(

[Venmoch]

Strictly speaking not a song.

"Last Post"

and in the right circumstances

"Scotland The Brave"

I know, I'm odd.

[TheAntipop]

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is an amazing album

+ Foxtrot = ultimate win.

[Blackghost905]

I have never cryed to a song, Yet

[Stigmata]

Last Post - Who wrote this song? I have no idea.
Feel Good Inc., by Gorillaz - Man, that was a weird song to cry to. But relationship problems make every song sad or bitingly ironic.
The Scientist, by Coldplay - Can't remember why.
Good Riddance, by Green Day - Once it made me really really nostalgic for the "good ol' days" when I wasn't yet ten years old, and nothing really mattered.

That is all...

So far.

[AntiAnto]

I don't remember crying for a song, but some really put me into an emotive trance:

Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead
Karma Police - Radiohead
Julie & Candy - Boards of Canada
The Scientist - Coldplay

[Septih]

The Scientist, by Coldplay

"Questions of science, science and progress, do not speak as loud as my heart."


sends a shiver down my spine...

[AntiAnto]

"Questions of science, science and progress, do not speak as loud as my heart."


sends a shiver down my spine...

Of course, you all haven't had the chance to hear that song live... I have :)

[Septih]

Of course, you all haven't had the chance to hear that song live... I have :)

i had the chance to buy tickets for a show this summer, but i'm only a fan of a couple of songs so didn't bother.

I've listened to parachutes since then and have been kicking myself ever since, theres a bruise :/

[Murray]

Im swedish i dont cry...:smoking:
Dito, I'm as soulless as a lawyer working for RIAA.

[Beerdude26]

CRAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIINNNN
Ok, not really. :hmph:

What does make me sad is the soundtrack for Max Payne 2 and the credits song for it.

And I cried a few times while hearing the Mafia theme ;(

[The Mullinator]

Last post is amazing, emotional for the listener. I used to play the trumpet and I can safely say it is a very fun piece to play technically as well.

Another song I have cried to is 'Now we are free' from the Gladiator sound track. By Enya.

[Qonfused]

Is that the song at the end where he kills Caesar and he has the dream where he's running back home?

[Septih]

Another song I have cried to is 'Now we are free' from the Gladiator sound track. By Enya.

ok i actually did cry to that one, right at the end of the film :/

and yeah thats the one Qon

[Qonfused]

Yep, me too. I cried hard... I was surprised I did at the end. I usually don't but I just took it all in. His wife and son were slaughtered, and he's going to see them again.

;(

[Zeus]

None. No songs have done it for me. Movies on the other hand....

[-Psy-]

"Questions of science, science and progress, do not speak as loud as my heart."

Best Lyric Ever

[Jangle]

Mambo No. 5 ;(

[Venmoch]

Last Post - Who wrote this song? I have no idea.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Post

The British did apparently. In the 17th Century from a dutch tradition.

Also worth noting however, its vastly superior to Taps :P

[Angry Lawyer]

Which album's it on?
Disk 4 of "100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong"

-Angry Lawyer

[Kangy]

On topic, i havn't properly cried at songs, but i've come near with NiN - Hurt and Athlete - Wires as well as Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely

Ooh, yeah, that reminds me - the first time I ever saw the video for the Hurt cover by Johnny Cash made me cry as well, and sent shivers down my spine. NiN are quite good, but imo, Johnny Cash really makes the song his own.

[Ennui]

A Warm Place on the Downward Spiral could probably make me cry if I was depressed enough.

[Sulkdodds]

No song has ever made me cry on its own. But Scientist made eyes water a bit in conjunction with certain events, and Mother (Pink Floyd) almost made me cry as it came on my MP3 player at a certain point the other day...

[SimonomiS]

The solo in Comfortably Numb gets me pretty close sometimes. No idea why, it's just so...

Yeah.

[Ennui]

The solo in Comfortably Numb gets me pretty close sometimes. No idea why, it's just so...

Yeah.
Awesome, awesome song. :thumbs:

[TheAntipop]

The entire Wall album is pretty sad, actually. The film even more so.

[Top Secret]

CRAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIINNNN
Ok, not really. :hmph:

What does make me sad is the soundtrack for Max Payne 2 and the credits song for it.

Poets of the Fall - Late Goodbye is the song.

The solo in Closed Eye Visuals gets me all teary eyed.

[ZoFreX]

Eminem - Stan
Hallelujiah - when it was on Scrubs. Damn, Scrubs makes me cry a lot if I'm down, it's like LSD - If you're happy you get high, if you're sad you get low.
Franz Ferdinand - Tell Her Tonight - kinda tied in with something going on in my life at the time
Bright Eyes - and if you watched watership down, you'd cry, too
Rammstein - Mutter - when he's screaming Mutter over and over... it's not a happy song

I also cry when people play The Jitterbug, but that's for entirely different reasons :P

[AntiAnto]

Comptine d'un autre été - Yann Tiersen
Sail to the moon - Radiohead

Although I've never cried while listening to them, they have a powerful effect on me.

[Septih]

Bright Eyes - and if you watched watership down, you'd cry, too

ah yes, that film was bloody, and my parents had no problem with me watching it when i was 8.

I cry to it because we used it for the funerals of my families pets :(

[bumblebee]

bed of roses - bon jovi

[Garfield_]

Im swedish i dont cry...:smoking:

Me neither, since im swedish :>

[dream431ca]

I've never really cried to any song..but one song almost did...it was ghost love score by Nightwish...IMO, the best song ever written by any metal band ever. It still has the same powerful effect..but the first time was musical bliss...10 minutes of perfection.

[Doppelgofer]

that spirit of christmas by ray charles...

dunno why but it makes me want to choke

don't really cry at songs though

[-Psy-]

If your happy and you know it clap your hands.

The teachers forced me to sing along. I was in tears.

[Duz]

The only song I've come close to making me sad is Sebadoh - Truly Great Thing.

Sebadoh- Jaundice (http://www.loobiecore.com/jaundice.mp3) not sad, but just very pretty.
