History TearJerker / AmandaPalmer

* [[ https://www.patreon.com/posts/2735960 Anthony Martignetti's death]]. Amanda loses her best friend and mentor and blogs about it.

** The music video just makes it more so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sW4dwXXX7Q

AmandaPalmer, be it with or without The Dresden Dolls, [[TearJerker can make some pretty sad songs]].

* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hE92yD9zNhg The Point of it All]]" from AmandaPalmer's solo album, ''Who Killed Amanda Palmer?'' "But no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my baby doll/and you're aces for coming along/you're almost human, after all..."

** Pretty much the entire album of ''Who Killed Amanda Palmer?'' counts. It was produced by Ben Folds, [[TearJerker/BenFoldsFive for whom this trope may be an actual superpower]].

** This troper almost never cries at music, but this brought her damn close.

* "Runs In The Family" can be a major tear-trigger to people who have loved ones going through hard times. Gorgeous song, but... oh, wow.

* Off of the new collaboration, ''8in8'', we have "Because the Origami," a duet between Ben Folds and her about a runaway son. Grab a box of tissues, and [[take a listen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAqudu4l-uo]]

* [[http://blog.amandapalmer.net/post/3448247232/christchurch-canceled-due-to-massive-earthquake This blog post]], written in the aftermath of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. If Mrs. Palmer's tour was on time, she would have been right at ground zero. The tone, the content, the links to the NZ Red Cross, the poem at the end . . . well, it had at least two tropers sobbing.

** The cover of "What's the Use of Wond'rin'?" puts the song in a whole new (and disturbing) prospective.

** Pretty much the entire album of ''Who Killed Amanda Palmer?'' counts.

** This Troper still has no idea what that song is even ''about'' (drug use? terminal illness? dolls?), and she still cannot finish the song without crying. Also, the album in question was produced by Ben Folds, for whom this trope may be an actual superpower.
** Obnoxious title aside, "Strength Through Music" makes this troper bawl every damn time. How many songs are there about school shooters? How many artistic works in any medium that make you pity them?

* "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP00qel_0qs Trout Heart Replica]]" a song Amanda wrote while on tour after seeing a dead trout's still beating heart, at both shows this troper saw that when she played this, the entire audience was in tears.
* This troper had a brief breakdown after staying up helping to coax a friend out of depression, and the day before "it" happened, I'd loaded a lot of fanmixes onto my iPod, sight unseen. I turn on my iPod and the first song that pops up is "Runs In The Family". Congratulations; I have not only a tearjerker, but a serious trigger. Gorgeous song, but... oh, wow.

** ''Blake Says'' and ''Another Year'' could also qualify.
