Songs most likely to make a guy cry

[Disaster Button]

Hallelujah is probably the only one out of your list. The others have either been too overused or ruined for my be misuse to have much emotional resonance.

There's this one song (from Battlestar Galactica) that made me cry happy and sad tears at the same time.

 

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

Ozzy Osbourne - Mama I'm Coming Home

 

[DustyDrB]

So, uh.. Where's this?

That one did have me close in the movie while they were recording it in the studio.

Also, I'm pretty sure Sarah McLaughlan made me cry in those sad animal commercials. It probably has more to do with neglected puppies than her music, though. I have to scramble to change the channel whenever those commercials come on.

 

[KazTheKing]

Well never cried but two sorta depressing songs are Dance with the Devil by Immortal Technique and Last Kiss the Pearl Jam version

 

[DanDeFool]

I usually don't like Christian music, but Christian rock group RED's Pieces might fit this category.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Mae's Awakening

[Alandoril]

Songs themselves do not effect me, but the context they are used in can.

 

[PhiMed]

Cat's in the Cradle, anyone? No one? Really?!?!?

Ugh, our English teacher made us study that in school, along with one of Dido's songs.

I wasn't moved so much as put to sleep.

Well, the only way I could see a guy not being at least a little moved by that song is him having have a completely uncomplicated relationship with their father and/or son. Either a perfect loving one, or an unmitigatedly awful/nonexistent one. Anything in-between, and I would think it would elicit something. I hope you fall into the first category.

On the other hand, some of the best books in history have been completely ruined by becoming assignments, so I could see the same phenomenon coming into play with a song.

Put me in a padded room (no way to knock myself unconscious) and play Mtv's Top 20 songs or something similar on a loop; in several hours you will find me in fetal position on the floor weeping like a little child.

 

[Boober the Pig]

What about the Wedding March? If you are hearing it either you or a friend is getting married, this sad fate is worthy of a tear or two.

 

[Danny Ocean]

This is what it's all about.​

 

[Sexbad]

The first song I have ever listened to after I turned 14 (before then I was a total vagina who cried at everything) that made me cry was about two months ago.

Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) by Arcade Fire

 

[TraderJimmy]

EDIT: Hmm, it didn't quote right. Was trying to quote the Cats in The Cradle post.

My bad, knew there was something I missed.

Now that's in my head, too. Along with Sisters of Mercy's Black Planet, which isn't really that sad, but shows the depressive mood this thread has put me in.

Thanks, guys.

 

[Ninonybox_v1legacy]

lilium....but only when it is played during the final ep of Elfen Lied when lucy and kota talk

 

[el_kabong]

Green Fields of France

There's plenty of good versions out there. Most notably among the younger generation is Dropkick Murphys. This song is so beautifully tragic. I could be having the best time of my life and this song would instantly put me in my sad pants once it's played.

 

[rescuer86]

If you're crying to a song you're probably not a guy. Haha LOLMIRITE?

HA HA Totally. Let's go do manly things like change the oil in our cars and lift heavy things and build a meth lab in my basement and wash each others backs in the shower. . .at the gym. GO TEAM. Whoo, saved it.

 

[KaosuHamoni]

This...
And This...
And Then This...

I know that two of them are extremely similar, but still...

 

[Mr Pantomime]

Hallelujah.
It would also be Candle In The Wind if I didnt have to sing it offkey at primary school

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

"Who Wants to Live Forever?" by Queen beats all!
