Songs that make you cry
OP - March 29, 2011, 03:31 PM

Wow, what a depressing thread title. Still, some of the greatest music ever written moves me to tears. I would not always describe it as tears of happiness either. Sometimes melancholy, loss, grief, helplessness, even anger. Such is the power of music. Yeah, I’m a closet Emo, so what. We all wear a mask.

Are there any songs that move you so much it's almost unbearable, or fill you up so much that you think you could burst?

This one breaks my heart, but at the same time makes me more appreciative of the good life I have:

Dead Can Dance - The Host Of Seraphim
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJhVM930YXY

Couple of big ballads:

This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mUmdR69nbM

Bjork - Play Dead
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHiHZ35TPfM

And the obvious choice:

Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUiTQvT0W_0

Make me cry. I like a good cry.

Too fucking busy, and vice versa.

I gotta confess, that one makes me laugh. It's because of the movie-that-shall-not-be-named.

"Never let go, Rose!"
"I'll never let go, Jack! I promise!"
*Rose lets go*
*Jack drowns*

LOL

hahaha i guess in a way yes. but I watched that movie when i was a kid and man did it get to me. I would say that Titanic along with the notebook are my fav chick flicks. The way that song starts just starts watering my eyes.

I also noticed funny feelings when I saw kate winslets golden globes. Only to figure out later on what that feeling was

Also, to make you regret your laziness (and be very jealous), I went to see their reunion shows in London a few years back. Killed it.

I won't post songs in other languages here as lyrics are obviously important to make you cry.

That's THE one for me (and in my top five tracks of the decade).

Like you say, especially that performance. I always fantasised about being the bloke behind the Wurly keys. :/
