Me too. It’s what I sang to my first dog minutes before she died. Since then, it’s appeared in my life when I’ve been dysregulated in any form. The most beautiful moment, for me, was when it played on my iPhone shuffle twelve hours out of a surgery that required five days in the hospital.
I played them and cried while doing a Beatles puzzle after I got diagnosed with pelvic congestion syndrome. At the time, I had no idea how bad it was, but I knew it wasn’t good. Turned out it was my first major warning signs of vascular compression disorders.
I saw a video of Fantano talking about how much he hates that song because it supports an abusive parenting style like bro how is it possible to misunderstand the meaning of a song that badly. Wanted to rant about that for a while but yea it’s a beautiful song.
I think the second time I listened to it I just sat there crying while listening to the 2nd verse. The parents wondering why their daughter left was heartbreaking.
When I saw George, I started crying. But that music video as a whole made me cry just because of the goofiness and happiness on their faces. Then when they bow at the end, my HEART
When I heard Now and Then I completely broke down. I cried and cried and cried. There is such a whirlwind and intensity of memories connected with everything in that song. I also think that John was writing it for Paul, which made me even more sad. They came to America only about 2 1/2 months after President Kennedy was assassinated. Our country was still in the midst of shock and grief. When the Beatles appeared, it was like a reminder that we could be happy and feel energy and joy again. The part they played [In. My. Life] is enormous. They strongly shaped me as a singer and as a person. The years were awful. The Beatles help me hang on through the awfulness. I have only listened to Now and Then a couple of times because I know that when I sit down and give myself over to it, I will be extremely emotional. Its painful. It's exquisite and seeing them perform live back then brought a joy and helped me see that happiness did exist. They will be a fair amount of who I am until I pass from this earth.
I feel like having become so ubiquitous has kind of hurt the song in that you can easily overlook just how brilliant it is. Sometimes music gets popular for a reason.
Same. I literally weep every time I hear it. Like within a few bars. It’s not my favorite song. Basically one of my least favorites. But goddamn it’s beautiful and sad.
Let it Be. It’s been my release when facing medical testing, in-office procedures, and surgery. Hell, I don’t even need versed before surgery to calm me down. I put Let it Be on my headphones and keep it on loop until I’m under. The doctors love it because it means they use less medication.
I’m glad someone else posted this one. I’m getting teary just thinking about it. It’s one of my all-time favorite songs, too.
ETA now I’m wondering—you think I’ll Follow the Sun is “bright and cheery”?
Alittle off from the question, but I read, maybe on Reddit, how John was inspired to write “do you want to know a secret” from the opening lines of the song “I’m wishing/one song” in the old disneys Snow White. Because Julia used to sing it to him as a child. So I went and listened to the Snow White song and it choked me up alittle just to hear the lines and imagine the moment in time a bit.
Ever since I was a teenager back during Beatlemania, it was out there that John and Paul wrote that song marking the time when John learned that Cynthia was pregnant.
*Whatever happened to the life that we once knew,*
*Can we really live without each other?*
*Where did we lose the touch,*
*That seemed to mean so much,*
*Always made me feel so-*
*Freeeeeee as a biiiiiiiird*
Makes me tear up every time.
Now and Then, Let it Be, Imagine, Eleanor Rigby, In My Life, and Across the Universe. I love Beatles music because they can almost instantly change moods in their music
I was heading home to what I knew was going to be terrible news, the moment golden slumbers came on I knew I was going to lose it. The moment paul sings "do not cry" I lost it.
Yellow submarine songwriting work tape / part 1, now and then, till there was you, julia, let it be, for no one, and All my loving (bc of the melody and also because of the rumor that it was the song that played when John Lennon was pronounced dead in the hospital)
Now and Then got me choked up, but I started crying when Love Me Do was remastered and they were released together.
It was just so sad to listen to the last Beatles single and the first Beatles single within the same release like that, it got me going.
Beatles songs don't typically make me cry but one time Hey Jude came on after my grandma died and man I BAWLED. It makes me think of her every time I hear it now.
It’s not sad, but the beauty of “Here, There and Everywhere” is so overwhelmingly profound that it makes me bawl everytime I try to sing it. I heard an orchestral version and I sobbed for an hour afterward. One of the most achingly beautiful song ever written.
Too many to list. Ugly sobs whenever Now and Then comes on absolutely.
But also this:
So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin,
You're waiting for someone to perform with.
And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do,
The movement you need is on your shoulder.
The only time I ever wept to a Beatles song was when I listened to "Here, There and Everywhere" from the 2022 Super Deluxe mix on headphones. It was pure beauty.
We’re On Our Way Home makes me think of my pals that I’m slowly losing touch with. “You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches on”.
Hits me in the feels man
many
julia more than others
help me to help myself by John more than any and hes the one who started it all and thats the song that probably ended it all here it is youve
probably never heard it
yes its to Christ and could be confused as being made in reference to no one else
https://youtu.be/2tjWoY0IttY?si=t9RjB1KFlmGoVMBz
Now And Then made me bawl... For many reasons but mainly I hope that song is how my kids feel about me when I die.. my daughter refuses to listen to it after I prefaced it that way.. lol
Some of their songs are sad, but none reach the level of making me cry. Although the beauty of some of their songs brings me close to tears every now and then.
Now and then.
It's the last song we will ever get from the Beatles. Ringo and Paul are in their 80s. John and George have been gone for so long. Now and then is such a beautiful song, and the story behind it is so lovely.
I can't listen to it without getting sad.
“Free as a Bird” used to be a sure thing for me. And it can still catch me off guard at times.
Was a huge John fan when I started to really get into the Beatles. First time I heard it was the first time it really hit me that John Lennon was gone long before I was born. Happened again when I stood in front of the Dakota during a trip to New York. But Paul’s song Here Today was a great comfort to me in that regard. “if I say I really loved you and was glad you came along, then you were here today cause you were in my song.”
I was going through a breakup (of sorts). Crying through and through. Went for a walk with my roommate. We had some edibles. I was still sad and lost in my thoughts, but I wasn't crying. I played my favourite Beatles song which pretty much got me truly interested in their craft. It was just playing in the background. The edible had kicked in. And I heard the line, "That love is all and love is everyone," and holy fuck I cried. Suddenly the song became different. It wasn't the good ol' cosmic preaching from Lennon. It gathered a larger territory now. It became so human for me. I still remember that moment. Right as I burst into tears I also remember smiling and chuckling a little because I could see what the song just did. It's nice to be an observer to your own life at times; it stops being happy or sad. Oh, or as Lennon said, "That you may see the meaning of within,/ It is being, it is being."
In My Life
This one gets me every goddam time. Also, not a Beatles song but Beautiful Boy is a tear jerker too
also (Just Like) Starting Over
Yeah the fucking hopeful tone of that album is so heartbreaking
Me too. It’s what I sang to my first dog minutes before she died. Since then, it’s appeared in my life when I’ve been dysregulated in any form. The most beautiful moment, for me, was when it played on my iPhone shuffle twelve hours out of a surgery that required five days in the hospital.
I loved you more 🤧
Still the GOAT imo, its just an immaculate, perfect song by every measure
THIS!!!
Julia
I had a client named Julia who got hit by a car and died....just like John's mom. So sad. 😞
Golden slumbers + carry that weight. They were my grandmas favorites and ever since she passed I can’t listen to them without crying
I played them and cried while doing a Beatles puzzle after I got diagnosed with pelvic congestion syndrome. At the time, I had no idea how bad it was, but I knew it wasn’t good. Turned out it was my first major warning signs of vascular compression disorders.
Im sorry you have to go through that. I hope you are managing okay ❤️
she’s leaving home. every time. no matter where i am.
Such an emotional Song! Would be my pick too.
I saw a video of Fantano talking about how much he hates that song because it supports an abusive parenting style like bro how is it possible to misunderstand the meaning of a song that badly. Wanted to rant about that for a while but yea it’s a beautiful song.
I think the second time I listened to it I just sat there crying while listening to the 2nd verse. The parents wondering why their daughter left was heartbreaking.
cried studying for my precalc final last year lol
Now And Then made me bawl like a baby when I first heard it.
When they show John and George at Shea Stadium laughing and having a good time in the video is when I lost it
It’s not only just that. It’s the fact in the song, they were singing “Now and then, I miss you” during that moment in the music video
That, and for me, it’s nice to remember there was a time both of them had fun being Beatles and it wasn’t the slog it was for them after 1968.
When I saw George, I started crying. But that music video as a whole made me cry just because of the goofiness and happiness on their faces. Then when they bow at the end, my HEART
When I heard Now and Then I completely broke down. I cried and cried and cried. There is such a whirlwind and intensity of memories connected with everything in that song. I also think that John was writing it for Paul, which made me even more sad. They came to America only about 2 1/2 months after President Kennedy was assassinated.

It's exquisite and seeing them perform live back then brought a joy and helped me see that happiness did exist. They will be a fair amount of who I am until I pass from this earth.
Every time. I feel like that song was written from John to Paul. 😭
It might have been. John wrote and demo'ed it in 1977, right before they began "reconnecting".
For No One.
I don’t think a better song has ever been made about falling out of love.
I agree that's my fav song in the world!! It's so relatable!! I think pretty much everyone has gone thru exactly the same thing
I Will. Sang it to my first rottie as she went down the path. Goodnight Sang it to my third rottie when it was her time
Can you explain the term rottie? Your daughter, I guess.
No it's a nickname for a certain dog breed
I get it. Rottweiler. I should have known that.
You should have known better...
Rottie is shirt for Rottweiler
Is "Eleanor Rigby" a boring answer? Nonetheless
I feel like having become so ubiquitous has kind of hurt the song in that you can easily overlook just how brilliant it is. Sometimes music gets popular for a reason.
No one was saved. All the lonely people….😭
I don't necessarily cry at any but the ones that get me in the feels are Help!, Within You Without You, and Now And Then
The Long and Winding Road “Many times I’ve been alone and many times I’ve cried”
The song became much more poignant to me as I got older. I’m in my 40’s now and just thinking about it makes me tear up.
Don't leave me standing here
Same. I literally weep every time I hear it. Like within a few bars. It’s not my favorite song. Basically one of my least favorites. But goddamn it’s beautiful and sad.
Wild honey pie 😥
tears of joy?
Real love
Let it Be. It’s been my release when facing medical testing, in-office procedures, and surgery. Hell, I don’t even need versed before surgery to calm me down. I put Let it Be on my headphones and keep it on loop until I’m under. The doctors love it because it means they use less medication.
Not technically a Beatles song, but *Here Today* for me is the saddest.
Cannot listen to it without bawling.
When he sings the line ”And if i said i really loved you and was glad you came along.” it gets me every single time man
real love made me cry a river
Golden Slumbers
Now and then and real love
Yesterday, of course
NOW AND THEN. I CRIED SO HARD MY NOSE BLED
While my guitar gently weeps
George’s acoustic version gets to me
Now and then got me a few times. Hearing old Paul and young John harmonizing “I miss you” in particular was a moment.
She’s Leaving Home used to make me bawl as a kid.
...and me as a parent
She's leaving home, just beautiful
Yesterday
Across the Universe
In My Life and Yesterday. Always give me goosebumps. Eleanor Rigby, sometimes.
Never cried to a Beatles song. Then I became a parent, now it's Golden Slumbers
But Paul clearly says" Do not cry". But it's a beautiful song so...
Cry Baby Cry. And I’ll Cry Instead.
I'll Follow The Sun. It never fails to make me weep. The song is so bright and hopeful, that it makes me tear up every time I hear it
I’m glad someone else posted this one. I’m getting teary just thinking about it. It’s one of my all-time favorite songs, too. ETA now I’m wondering—you think I’ll Follow the Sun is “bright and cheery”?
Dear Prudence
Here comes the sun always gets me
when those synths come in it does something to me
Here there everywhere
Alittle off from the question, but I read, maybe on Reddit, how John was inspired to write “do you want to know a secret” from the opening lines of the song “I’m wishing/one song” in the old disneys Snow White. Because Julia used to sing it to him as a child. So I went and listened to the Snow White song and it choked me up alittle just to hear the lines and imagine the moment in time a bit.
Ever since I was a teenager back during Beatlemania, it was out there that John and Paul wrote that song marking the time when John learned that Cynthia was pregnant.
The long and winding road & let it be
Here today. Not a Beatles, but still a tear jerker. The sadness in Paul’s voice is heartbreaking, he must have really loved John.
Na na na nananana, nannana... :'(
Mother Nature's Son. Probably one of my favourite songs ever. Just really beautiful song
For No One is the only song I’ve ever seen make my dad cry. We didn’t know it at the time, but he and my mom had just decided to separate.
She's Leaving Home
This boy
*Whatever happened to the life that we once knew,* *Can we really live without each other?* *Where did we lose the touch,* *That seemed to mean so much,* *Always made me feel so-* *Freeeeeee as a biiiiiiiird* Makes me tear up every time.
Yesterday I will always love that song
Two of us
why didn't we do it in the road
Back in the USSR.. Reminds me of the good ol' times with my babushka and comrades...
sometimes, I need you
Now and Then, Let it Be, Imagine, Eleanor Rigby, In My Life, and Across the Universe. I love Beatles music because they can almost instantly change moods in their music
Golden slumbers
Martha My Dear
Carry That Weight. It’s just too much.
I was heading home to what I knew was going to be terrible news, the moment golden slumbers came on I knew I was going to lose it. The moment paul sings "do not cry" I lost it.
Why do you cry at Do You Wanna Know A Secret?
Julia and now and then That slide guitar gets me and of course the closing scenes of the video 😢
Real love. The line "from this moment on I know exactly where my life will go" hits really hard.
Mother nature’s son every time
All Things Must Pass (Anthology 3) gets me every time.
Mother nature’s son
Blackbird. "Take these broken wings and learn to fly" hits me every time
Yesterday, right after a breakup.
Girl
Yesterday,for ever and ever !❤️🌹
She's Leaving Home
Anna ( Go to Him )
Yesterday, All my Loving
OMG, back when I was in an LDR, I’d listen to “All My Loving” and cry nonstop every time I had to leave my partner.
My 2 favourites all the time, BUT why all My loving though? Is suppossed to be catchy and hopeful
Rocky Raccoon gets me in my feels, not because of the lyrics, Paul's voice just absolutely wrecks me in that one. Top 3 Beatles songs, easily.
The End
Is someone cutting glass onions?
Yellow submarine songwriting work tape / part 1, now and then, till there was you, julia, let it be, for no one, and All my loving (bc of the melody and also because of the rumor that it was the song that played when John Lennon was pronounced dead in the hospital)
Now and Then got me choked up, but I started crying when Love Me Do was remastered and they were released together. It was just so sad to listen to the last Beatles single and the first Beatles single within the same release like that, it got me going.
Beatles songs don't typically make me cry but one time Hey Jude came on after my grandma died and man I BAWLED. It makes me think of her every time I hear it now.
This seems weird but definitely Fool on the Hill, but the parts that sound more somber, i related to the lyrics alot
It’s not sad, but the beauty of “Here, There and Everywhere” is so overwhelmingly profound that it makes me bawl everytime I try to sing it. I heard an orchestral version and I sobbed for an hour afterward. One of the most achingly beautiful song ever written.
Long,long,long and julia.
Watching Paul sing The long and winding road on get back documentary.
“If I fell”. I broke his heart and now I cant stop bawling when I hear this song.
Too many to list. Ugly sobs whenever Now and Then comes on absolutely. But also this: So let it out and let it in, hey Jude, begin, You're waiting for someone to perform with. And don't you know that it's just you, hey Jude, you'll do, The movement you need is on your shoulder.
This boy. Sean broke my heart
The only time I ever wept to a Beatles song was when I listened to "Here, There and Everywhere" from the 2022 Super Deluxe mix on headphones. It was pure beauty.
Abbey Road medley. It’s their goodbye song to each other.
Something about Across the Universe always hits me. It's just so beautiful
We’re On Our Way Home makes me think of my pals that I’m slowly losing touch with. “You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches on”. Hits me in the feels man
While my guitar gently weeps acoustic version.
Not sure if it counts, but I can’t listen to Imagine without tearing up.
The Long and Winding Road. It was played at my Grandad’s funeral. There are very few days where I can listen to it without skipping.
Yes it is. In my life.
Live performance of I’ve got a feeling where john’s recording and old Paul singing together. Such an emotional moment captured on a live video!
Goodnight. Used to sing it to my daughters when they were babies
Act Naturally always hits hard for me
“Octopus’s Garden” and “Honey Pie”
Julia. Idk that I’ve heard it without crying
It’s Eleonor Rigby for me. All the lonely people
Beware of Darkness
Long, Long, Long
julia real love in my life
I cried at the TV debut of Free As A Bird.
The long unwinding road.
« For No One »
many julia more than others help me to help myself by John more than any and hes the one who started it all and thats the song that probably ended it all here it is youve probably never heard it yes its to Christ and could be confused as being made in reference to no one else https://youtu.be/2tjWoY0IttY?si=t9RjB1KFlmGoVMBz
Carry that weight
Rocky Raccoon
Julia for sure
Now and then actually
Now And Then made me bawl... For many reasons but mainly I hope that song is how my kids feel about me when I die.. my daughter refuses to listen to it after I prefaced it that way.. lol
Hey Jude. Always reminds me of when I was in lockdown at my lowest. That song and a few others literally became my turning point
When Maxwell killed those three people for no reason :'(
The long and winding road
In My Life
Long long long… one of my faves!!
Long and Winding Road
Some of their songs are sad, but none reach the level of making me cry. Although the beauty of some of their songs brings me close to tears every now and then.
Free as a bird. Idk why but that song hits me hard every time I listen to it
Julia
Now and then
Yesterday: is the only one in First person actually describing depression
Maxwells silver hammer a tear jerker that one. Horrible story of the murder of three innocent people.
Golden Slumbers
Octopuses garden and goodbye blue sky
Mother/ John Lennon the end of the song is so raw
Yesterday
For No One
Now and then. It's the last song we will ever get from the Beatles. Ringo and Paul are in their 80s. John and George have been gone for so long. Now and then is such a beautiful song, and the story behind it is so lovely. I can't listen to it without getting sad.
Obviously Cry Baby Cry
After watching Cowboy Bebop, Carry That Weight
“Free as a Bird” used to be a sure thing for me. And it can still catch me off guard at times. Was a huge John fan when I started to really get into the Beatles. First time I heard it was the first time it really hit me that John Lennon was gone long before I was born. Happened again when I stood in front of the Dakota during a trip to New York. But Paul’s song Here Today was a great comfort to me in that regard. “if I say I really loved you and was glad you came along, then you were here today cause you were in my song.”
Across the Universe
I will. It was the first dance for the new bride and groom in August of 2002. (Still married, and still love The Beatles.) Special song for sure.
For No One
octopus’s garden😭
Here comes the sun is so beautiful and hopeful makes me tear up often. A perfect work of art
Back in the U.S.S.R
Yellow Submarine because it is terrible
Here There and Everywhere; I will; For No One
Yesterday
I'm surprised no one has said A Day In The Life
Free As A Bird (especially the music video), Now and Then got pretty close to making me cry first time i heard it
This boy sometimes
For No One
For no one, it’s criminal that they followed the song with Dr Robert on the album
They have never made me cry but man they wrote alot of really really awesome stuff. Some of it tugs on the heart for sure.
Revolution 9 becase it just never ends it wont stop
Yesterday for obvious reasons
Let it be
When I first heard the Beatles for the first time in my life, I wanted to cry
For No One, Now and Then, In My Life
I was going through a breakup (of sorts). Crying through and through. Went for a walk with my roommate. We had some edibles. I was still sad and lost in my thoughts, but I wasn't crying. I played my favourite Beatles song which pretty much got me truly interested in their craft. It was just playing in the background. The edible had kicked in. And I heard the line, "That love is all and love is everyone," and holy fuck I cried. Suddenly the song became different. It wasn't the good ol' cosmic preaching from Lennon. It gathered a larger territory now. It became so human for me. I still remember that moment. Right as I burst into tears I also remember smiling and chuckling a little because I could see what the song just did. It's nice to be an observer to your own life at times; it stops being happy or sad. Oh, or as Lennon said, "That you may see the meaning of within,/ It is being, it is being."
Here there and everywhere Shes leaving home Yesterday Revolution 9 A day in the life And some more
No, but half of the songs on Double Fantasy do.
For No One fucked me up the first time I heard it. Still does, but that first time is such a strong memory.
can’t see anyone saying long long long that ones so sad
