songs that make you cry.

[Prideful Heretic]

Mountain Goats-Deuteronomy 2:10 fuckin' animals man...

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

I can't listen to this song without tearing up.

 

[Ryuu Akamatsu]

Yes I cried during this song when it was on tv. Shut up.

 

[Gilligan7767]

For some reason Born to Run by Springsteen gets me, I'm sort of stuck in this small town and need to get out. Another one is that Death Cab for Cutie song I'll Follow You Into the Dark (shut up). Lastly John McCutcheon's Christmas in the Trenches. The last few lines really cut deep. "The ones who call the shots won't be among the dead and lame, and on each end of the rifle we're the same."

whiskey lullaby by brad paisley, the first time i saw the music viedo it brought a tear to my eye

 

[bassdrum]

The song Carnivores Unite by Blockhead often gets me. The strings part is just so awesome, righteous, and melancholy.


Of, course, then it gets into a groove and isn't quite so moving anymore.

Alternates are included below...

Spoiler

(Starting at about the 5 minute mark is where it gets really good, building up to 5:45 which just feels do good in a melancholy way)

That's probably good enough for now, I may come up with more later. Feel free to dislike my music, I know that many of you are metalheads and I just listen to bizarre shit.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Comfortable by John Mayer. Reminds me of 'the one who got away', sort of thing.

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Requiem for a Soldier, sung by Katherine Jenkins.

It is the opening music to Band of Brothers

 

[Oilerfan92]

This i love by Guns N Roses.

For whatever reason the song never sounds great when its live. But its still an emotional song. And its just appropriate to how im feeling right now in situations that are occuring.

 

[PunkyMcGee]

every new day - five iron fenzy,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPru3nUMfL4

i always cry at the end

 

[Strid]

Snuff by Slipknot, Creep by Radiohead and Liberate by Disturbed.

Liberate isn't a sad song itself, but it reminds me of when some of my friends died because at the time we were into these kinda songs...

 

[Aerodynamic]

*Sniff*.....

 

[Gardenclaw]

The song Falter by Hundred reasons. It's just a simple song, yet the harmonies really hit a nerve with me for some reason.

[Gardenclaw]

*Sniff*.....

Big Kyuss fan. This song is so beautiful. Can see why it would bring a tear to someones eye. I was going to pick Phototropic. That song is just massively Epic.

 

[foodmaniac]

Book of Love by Peter Gabriel. Every time I hear it, I get sad because it reminds me of how Scrubs ended. By the way, I think Season 9 is an abomination and should not exist. Therefore, the Season 8 Finale is the true last episode.

 

[AMX58]

how to save a life

and the song from Friday Night Lights

leave no man behind Black Hawk Down

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

Under Your Tree by Sonata Arctica is probably the saddest song I've heard that isn't a choir song. Its about a father burying his son underneath a tree he planted the day his son was born. Its a beautiful song.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFDLkIRYRYQ

Tell My Father (From the musical Civil War) is another. I sang it in a choir. Its about two brothers, one fighting on the North, the other for the South, and one kills the other. The song is from the point of view of the dying brother who is telling his brother to tell their father that he died with glory and honor.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnYOfMrpKpA (Not a huge fan of the vocalist in this rendition, but it works)

Ludo's Morning In May from their Broken Bride rock opera EP. I'm not gonna bother explaining the whole story, so I recommend Wikipedia-ing the album for the plot.

However, the saddest song I know is Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley. Say what you want about the genre, but country, true country music, has the saddest songs.

Those are the first four that come to mind. If I really tried, I could probably think of more.

 

[Marine Mike]

Hero of War by Rise Against.
"A hero of war, is that what they see? Just medals and scars, so damn proud of me?"

[RUINER ACTUAL]

Five Finger Death Punch - The Bleeding

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BAiDKOqfvc

Norther - Nothing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ad5mzbNhAx4

Heaven Shall Burn - A Dying Ember

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrfI0LNlxBc

 

[WinterOrbit]

I've probably had the strongest emotional reaction to "The Past Presents the Future" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQOIFEYfPAQ] by Her Space Holiday, but that's largely because of its appearance at the end of Mur Lafferty's "Earth." I had to leave the room at the end of the last chorus the first time I heard it.

"Way Out of Here" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIF4_Sm-rgQ] by Porcupine Tree are all consistent tearjerkers for me.
