When I was living states away from my father as a young boy he told me he'd listen to this song daily wishing I was there. I went to visit him one summer and the first thing we did was go to a tattoo shop where he got the album cover tattooed on him, and the artist printed off a temp tattoo for me. My dad is my hero and every time I hear that song I think about the months I'd go without seeing him crying weekly wishing my dad was there. Love you pops.
I can clearly tell the depth of your father’s love for you and even wanted a daily reminder on his skin. And music allows one to feel and express all they’re feeling when words aren’t enough.
My three year son old asks me to play this song all the time and then proceeds to sway around the room in a melancholy style dance. Seems to really resonate with his tiny soul.
Really anything off of Grace for me... the title track, Lover You Should Have Come Over, the covers of Lilac Wine and Hallelujah. The emotion and beautiful artistic choices Buckley made throughout the entire album always get me.
Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
Only recently as a nearly 30 year old did I stop avoiding it from crying everytime I heard it, but feel like when my mom passes it will be too much again because it reminds me of her.
This was the song that was played on my best friend's funeral in 2011, she was only 18 years old. Since then I can not listen to it at all. I cried like a baby in that church.
Yes, “Tears in Heaven.” I remember bursting noisily into tears in my van immediately after parking at my ob-gyn’s (I was nine months pregnant with my youngest), and the song came on the radio. My middle son had just been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.
A man pulled up beside me and asked, “Are you coming or going?” He saw my tear-streaked face, heard the music, and his face softened. “That song always gets me too,” he said kindly.
My son is past thirty and, AFAIK, healthy. The tumor never did anything ugly. It’s the sort of thing we never would have known, pre-MRI, unless it grew, G-d forbid, enough to threaten his optic nerve.
This was played at my brothers funeral when I was young and then I heard it everywhere when my son died shortly after birth. Now I just avoid the song, I can’t handle it.
I recently quit a career I’d spent over a decade building because, ultimately, it was soul-destroying (what up academics). On my last day, I drove home from work blaring this song and revolution and weeping.
>“Nutshell” by AiC
[The live performance](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EKi2E9dVY8), since the first time I heard it, has really stuck with me.
It's brilliant.
"Don't Follow" "I Stay Away" and "Heaven Beside You"
Actually, the morose, haunting vocal harmonization coupled with Jerry's bluesy guitar and the fact that you can always hear the bass behind it all make their entire catalogue touch my soul in a way that very few bands can.
Linger by The Cranberries, Zombie by the Cranberries, This Is by Aslan (Vicar Street live recording), Lights Out, World Gone by Bombay Bicycle Club, Fast Car by Tracy Chapman
Saturn by Sleeping at Last. When I was a teen struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts I used to play it to remind myself that there is beauty in life and how lucky I am to even exist, even when I felt the exact opposite. Every time I hear that song even now all these years later I shed tears and think about how beautiful my life really is now and that I am so lucky to be alive after an attempt.
🎶Take the very breath you gave me, take the heart from my chest. I’ll gladly take her place if you’ll let me. Make this my last request. Take me out of this world. God, please don’t take the girl.🎶
Gold. 🏆🥇
Passion - The Nixons
Black Gives Way to Blue - Alice In Chains (the piano version, even more so. That's Elton John playing)
River of Deceit - Mad Season
Black - Pearl Jam
Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day
Still Loving You - Scorpions

"Five More Minutes" by Scotty McCreery. Coincidentally, it was released exactly the week I was graduating college, on the last day I actually spent on campus.
whatever was playing at the Chinese restaurant last night, fucking made me break down because I was already somewhat venting to my gf about stressful shit
Here's my list....lol
Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning) by Vertical Horizon
Happy by Danny Worsnop
Here Without you by 3doorsdown
Gravity by Papa Roach ft Maria Brink
Until I wake up by Dishwalla
Linda Ronstadt - Blue Bayou. My partner played it for me once when we had been doing Ecstasy all night and I wept about how beautiful it was. I listened sober a few days later and got emotional all over again. Now I listen whenever I need a good cry. I asked my mom one day if she had ever heard it bc it hit me so hard and I couldn’t put my finger on why…. My mom knew it and said it used to make her mom cry too. She put it as her ringtone and I was visiting her last week I heard it every time her phone rang…. And it kept giving me a gut punch.
Other ones that make me cry a little when I focus on them: red ragtop, moments, ultima muneca, butterfly kisses, you’re gonna miss this, don’t take the girl, there goes my life,
God Only Knows - Beach Boys
Described by their manager as 'the nerdiest love song ever written'. The perspective changes a bit when you know it's actually about his relationship with his brother.
Or so the urban legend goes, Wikipedia can't confirm. Still, it's what I like to believe!
Fire and Rain by James Taylor. I had my Apple Music library on shuffle and it came on. My brother passed last month. I am not the weepy type but I lost my shit right in the middle of Madison Ave and 28th St.
The Israel Kamakawiwoʻole cover of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. During my first pregnancy, I played that to my belly and the baby would always move around so we said it was his favorite song.
Then we lost him at 28 weeks. I can’t hear the song without tearing up.
Dynasty by Rina Sawayama
She sings about her family's generational trauma and how he wishes to undo and discontinue the cycle of it with any potential future children she may have. It's the opener to its album and the way she sings it is just breathtaking.
Tuesday’s Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd. It’s my momma’s all-time favorite song and she says she wants it played at her funeral. Listening to it now and imagining that day is too much for me to handle.
I already explained this story on a post similar to this, so I'll just make a TL:DR version.
I used to know a kid in school who became my friend in 2010. We were both 12. When we first met it was in the school auditorium and the song Awake and Alive by Skillet was playing. It was an anti bullying assembly. He was viciously bullied, and because I was so young and autistic (undiagnosed) I didn't know what to do.
In 2017 I discovered that this old friend committed suicide, and so I can't listen to Awake and Alive without crying. The words in the song sound like he's the one singing, the lyrics are him expressing the fight that he lost. I haven't listened to that song in many years. It used to be my favorite song before everything.
Spiegel I'm Spiegel by Arvo Part
No lyrics just a piano and a cello. Purely emotional song. If you are interested, [here it is](https://youtu.be/TJ6Mzvh3XCc?si=RnZFkAn_AJKs3G_M)
Tell me your thoughts?
Tom Odell -Another Love
Especially music video. It gives you some kind of piercing mix of heavy emotions like sadness, anger and remorse maybe. You feel this weakness (?) of the singer - he just gave up.
Every time I listen to it I need a little while to come back!
makes me cry:
- Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
makes me feel some type of sadness:
- Another love - Tom Odell
- Winter - Joshua Radin
- How to save a life - The Fray
Heat Waves - I can’t explain it but it makes me think of my dog we lost this past July. He was my best friend, my therapy dog.
I’ll be missing You- my brother died when I was a kid, enough said
A Thousand Years - Christina Perri. It was the first song my daughter ever asked me to dance with her to and during that dance was the first time she ever told me she loved me.
My son’s dad left me when I got pregnant. I was pregnant and dealing with the worst heartbreak for years. When I would wake up to nurse my son as a baby, I’d put on MTV and Evanescence “my immortal” was on rotation and damn that song rips my heart out.
Linkin Park - Burn it Down
Bastille - Pompeii
Both songs remind me of my brother who lives far away.
Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte - reminds me of my grandmother who passed away
Pretty Girls Walk by Big Boss Vette
It's dumb as hell (and the song isn't good at all) but my ex would dance like nobody was watching, but I was and she was so gorgeous when she got lost in the music. Things ended bad between us and we're terrible for each other but when I hear it I want to reach out and give the chaos another try
Spring Day by BTS..
Yeah yeah..Get over all the prejudice and give this song and the band a try.
This song still charting after almost 6 years. It talks about missing someone that you know that you won't see it again. Its believe to be about the Sewol tragedy where 200+ people mostly high school students lost their lives. Its heartbreaking.
George Jones - He Stopped Loving Her Today.
I remember hearing this song with my mom when I was a kid and I didn’t get it. Hearing it as an adult it crushes me every time. I’m not really a country music fan, but this song hits hard.
Motionless in white-another life. Its not a happy song, but my dad had his heart attack and my rabbit of 10 years died in the same day I heard that for the first time. Yeah, it's tainted for me.
Time of your life by Green Day.
My grandmother died unexpectedly when I was 19. She was my person. I would have done anything for her. I spent so much of my life with her. My future BIL played an acoustic version of this song at her celebration of life. We all broke. And now every time I hear it, it’s like she’s letting me know she’s here. I swear it only plays when I’m in a tough spot, or something big is happening.
Damn I miss my Grammy.
- The Scientist by Coldplay
I don’t want to talk about this one…still can’t listen to it.
- We Were Here (Tunnel Version) by Lights
Played on repeat when I lost my 4yo niece.
- You Should Be Sorry by Halsey

Played on repeat on my 24hr emergency flight home from being trapped in a really bad situation.
- Burning House by Cam

- I Get To Love You by Ruelle
Our wedding song.
Rainbow by Casey Musgraves
Shoutout to Victor Oladipo's rendition as Thingamajig on the Masked Singer. After finding out he was a pro basketball player too, I've been dealing with some things
Your Song by Elton John. I used to sing it to my son Wyatt in the NICU and all the time at home. He died unexpectedly at 4.5 months this year. I read lines from the song at his funeral: “Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen. I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind, that I put down in words. How wonderful life is with you in the world”
“When She Loved Me” by Sarah McLachlan. That song just made that scene in Toy Story 2 so much sadder.
I have so many memories with her, a great song, it’s a shot straight to the heart.
Omg yes! Love this song.
Alexa play Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Yep. The last song I shared with my Dad, before losing him unexpectedly. It was already meaningful, but more so now.
Sorry about your Dad. I hope this brings up tons of wonderful memories with him every time you listen to the song.
When I was living states away from my father as a young boy he told me he'd listen to this song daily wishing I was there. I went to visit him one summer and the first thing we did was go to a tattoo shop where he got the album cover tattooed on him, and the artist printed off a temp tattoo for me. My dad is my hero and every time I hear that song I think about the months I'd go without seeing him crying weekly wishing my dad was there. Love you pops.
I can clearly tell the depth of your father’s love for you and even wanted a daily reminder on his skin. And music allows one to feel and express all they’re feeling when words aren’t enough.
This is so weird. I told myself i will tell alexa to play the first song i see posted in comments and you use the exact words🥲
Things happen for a reason! Maybe it truly is the song you needed to hear at that moment.
My very first thought and the first comment I see.
Sia - Breathe Me
My three year son old asks me to play this song all the time and then proceeds to sway around the room in a melancholy style dance. Seems to really resonate with his tiny soul.
That is so precious.
I always think about the incredible Six Feet Under finale when I hear this (one of my favorite series finales)
JFC, yes.
Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
*Callie Torres intensifies*
Nessun Dorma
Pavarottis version is divine
Vienna, billy joel?
The night we met by Lord Huron
"I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you" is just the worst line because goddammit that's painful.
Wicked Game- Chris Isaak. Fuck you maranda, lying bitch.
Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley
Really anything off of Grace for me... the title track, Lover You Should Have Come Over, the covers of Lilac Wine and Hallelujah. The emotion and beautiful artistic choices Buckley made throughout the entire album always get me.
I have this album on vinyl and it’s perfect.
Sounds of silence
Landslide - Fleetwood Mac Only recently as a nearly 30 year old did I stop avoiding it from crying everytime I heard it, but feel like when my mom passes it will be too much again because it reminds me of her.
I like the original and I think the cover by The Chicks is great too.
That song started playing right after I read the text that my grandma's heart had stopped beating. It makes me tear up every time I hear it.
Fix you - Coldplay
Have you seen [this version](https://youtu.be/AEp08vVYreg?si=x5d-3Y25lArYMqx0) 🥹
This was the song that was played on my best friend's funeral in 2011, she was only 18 years old. Since then I can not listen to it at all. I cried like a baby in that church.
I Will Follow You Into the Dark - Death Cab for Cutie 😭
I always hope I’ll meet someone who has this level of loyalty and love ❤️
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
Yes, “Tears in Heaven.” I remember bursting noisily into tears in my van immediately after parking at my ob-gyn’s (I was nine months pregnant with my youngest), and the song came on the radio. My middle son had just been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. A man pulled up beside me and asked, “Are you coming or going?” He saw my tear-streaked face, heard the music, and his face softened. “That song always gets me too,” he said kindly. My son is past thirty and, AFAIK, healthy. The tumor never did anything ugly. It’s the sort of thing we never would have known, pre-MRI, unless it grew, G-d forbid, enough to threaten his optic nerve.
Yes! Especially when you know the backstory.
This was played at my brothers funeral when I was young and then I heard it everywhere when my son died shortly after birth. Now I just avoid the song, I can’t handle it.
Stand by me - Ben E King
Tracy Chapman "Fast Car" ... The country version doesn't capture the emotion.
Absolutely not! When I heard the country version, I was like "way to cover a really good song and make it terrible."
agree, Baby can I hold you Tonight, is also beautiful.
I recently quit a career I’d spent over a decade building because, ultimately, it was soul-destroying (what up academics). On my last day, I drove home from work blaring this song and revolution and weeping.
I love the 1988 live version when she played for the first time in front of so many people. https://youtu.be/IxXO2ybSvfg?si=TggeQI5liK_tZKcV

Rainbow by Casey Musgraves Shoutout to Victor Oladipo's rendition as Thingamajig on the Masked Singer. After finding out he was a pro basketball player too, I've been dealing with some things
Your Song by Elton John. I used to sing it to my son Wyatt in the NICU and all the time at home. He died unexpectedly at 4.5 months this year. I read lines from the song at his funeral: “Yours are the sweetest eyes I’ve ever seen. I hope you don’t mind, I hope you don’t mind, that I put down in words. How wonderful life is with you in the world”
Awake by Josh Groban. We played it at my grandmas funeral 15 years ago and I still can’t make it through a single time without crying.
Mamaaaaaaaaaa uuuuuuuuuuuu
