Songs That Make You Cry

I'm usually not one to cry, but Cancer got me very close.

"Who wants to hear about good stuff when the bottom of the abyss of human failure that you know doesn't exist is so much greater?"-Wraith

That's one of my friends' favourite song, actually.

I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.

Not exactly cry, but bring a tear - Kid Cudi's songs, except one or two (Alive and Poke Her Face, for obvious reasons).

I dunno, they just sound sad and alone to me...

Was Jack Mackerel. | i rite gud

It always reminds me of my grandfather who passed away five years ago.

John Williams' Hymn to the Fallen brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it. It was that good, and it didn't even have lyrics. Ditto, the first time I heard the main melody of On My Own performed by the brassline of our Marching Band. I was in the woodwinds and up front, so it was a good thing I wasn't playing at the time.

Charlie Stross's cheerful, optimistic predictions for 2017, part one of three.

I can't think of any songs that have made me cry, but R. Kelly's I Believe I Can Fly usually makes my eyes water.

I also shed a tear while listening Elton John's Candle in the Wind and reading about Marylin Monroe.

There's no justice in the world and there never was~

This song gets me every-time.

"Dance With My Father" by Luther Vandross. It's about Luther wanting to dance with his father again (who died when Luther was a young child).

is a good one. Other songs include "A three-legged workhorse" by This will destroy You, Searching for Some Beautiful by Sadistik.

Recently listened to Hey Monday's "Candles" for the first time because it's supposedly going to be on Glee. Crying ensued.

We're going to spread this shit like Nutella.

Megadeth's "A Tout le Monde." It would REALLY fit during the last minutes of episode 8 of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann ... the singer (Dave Mustaine) even sounds like what I'd imagine Kamina would sound like singing.

And Alice in Chain's "Nutshell" is probably the saddest song I've heard. [[youtube:N_GPxe91hWE]]

Breathe Me by Sia gets me every time, just because of the Six Feet Under finale. I hear the opening piano and I immediately start choking up.

The Inner Light song from TNG.

Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the Great

Man, I had kind of forgotten about how sad this one is:

HAM ALERT! The part at 6:00 forward. Nevermind that this is actually a song about Spawn. And yeah its hammy and the lyrics arent that well thought out and pretty cliche but HOLY CRAP what a voice! It really touched me.

In the process of creating Old Shame.

Songs don't make me cry, but this one does make me kinda weepy. The lyrics are a bit corny, but to me they are still touching, and the music helps a lot.

No regret shall pass over the threshold!

Man, where do I even start?

• The Antlers - Epilogue. The second chorus where Silberman goes into falsetto is just too much. He just sounds so weak.
• Radiohead - True Love Waits. Such a beautiful song and something about Thom's voice gets to me.
• Sigur Rós - Fljótavík. Very nearly the sparest, simplest notes possible, but it's so achingly gorgeous and the wonderful production just sucks you into it.
• Tom Waits - Anywhere I Lay My Head. This might top them all. Unmistakably a funeral song. And it's my favorite vocal performance of all time. He's just pouring his soul out into this performance.

Dancing Mad. It's the ending that does it (well, being a video game tune, it loops after that). Not only because of the solemn chords and sad lament of a melody, but mostly because it comes after three and a half movements of powerful, dramatic music. It's essentially a musical version of a Villainous BSoD.

pachelbel's canon in D: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFJGHE8LclQ&

schubert's death and the maiden, especially this part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azGjSn52KRo&

the last waltz by yeoung-wook jo (or however you spell his name), movie sountrack from Old Boy, I cried my eyes out during that scene in the movie, probably that's why afterwards the music alone was enough to make me cry : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mbKjV5OChA

and lilium, the opening theme of Elfen Lied: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaV6eDvgiG4 (again it may be because the anime was such a Tear Jerker)

If everything you try works, you aren't trying hard enough

Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" and Ralph Vaughn Williams' "Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis" always makes me tear up. Having played them both when I was in high school, I feel particularly linked to both. Interestingly, I played the former in my freshman and senior years.

For rock songs, "Candle in the Wind" almost always brings a tear to my eye.

I just had to dig this one up for another thread here, and decided against watching it:

Other than that, the closest anything's ever come is "The Cage" by Sonata Arctica, and maybe it's just me (although after the song, you realize it does have a nasty Downer Ending). And Epica's "Tides Of Time".

There are snakes in the grass, so we'd better go hunting!

I never thought friggin' Meatloaf would make the most depressing song I've ever hear. But it's already been posted here so meh

Mother by Pink floyd made me cry when I was little.

Seeing all these piss ant tropers trying to talk tough makes me laugh. If Matrix were here, he'd laugh too.

Yisra'el By Laibach

....I never thought an Industrial song could make me cry. ;_;

(*Also. in case you're unfamiliar with the Israeli and Palestinian anthems it's a mashup of the two.*)
