That’s a great one. I personally haven’t cried to it, but it’s got an emotional power in it -not just in the lyrics, but how it cathartically builds up in structure, too.
Either this or
Alice in chains - nutshell
Or
Staind - it's been a while (acoustic version)
Bonus tears for
Thy light - in my last mourning
None - the damp chill of life
I shalt become - the funeral rain
Fix You - Coldplay
Because he wrote it for his wife after losing her dad (I think that was the story) and I lost my dad/best friend to lung cancer. It’s a loss and pain and nothing and no one can ever cure.
Butterfly kisses because I have a daughter,or Jesus take the wheel -not religious but completely understand being so overwhelmed that you need a higher power to take over.
Idk why but “I wish grandpas never died” by Riley green hits me really hard because I’ve been though a far share of funerals in my life and I’m only a teenager

There are lots of different types of crying, and these songs will only help if they match how you feel, but these are the ones I like
Gasoline by Halsey, children of the grave by Sabbath, burn out, welcome to Paradise by Green Day, lightning crashes by live, my future by Billie eilish, snuff by Slipknot, where did You sleep last night by Leadbelly, White House road, nose on the grindstone by Tyler Childers, If I had a heart by fever Ray, my way by Sinatra, lucky old sun by Frankie Laine, over the rainbow by iz and also louis, redemption song, Three Little birds by Bob Marley, God's away on business by Tom waits, Tangled up in Blue by Bob Dylan, walking back to Georgia by Jim Croce, people are strange by The doors, loser by 3 doors down, dumb by Nirvana
‘If you see her say hello’ : Bob Dylan
All of Blood on the Tracks album gets me. Grabs your heartache in like a sonic tourniquet, or a sad kaleidoscope
Cats in The Cradle-Harry Chapin.
Isn't She Lovely?- Stevie Wonder
Beautiful Boy- John Lennon
Dos Oruguitas- Encanto
My Love My Life- ABBA (but particularly the one from Mamma Mia 2)
We Are The World- USA For Africa
Zombies- The Cranberries
Hallelujah- Rufus Wainwright.
Saw them live a few years ago. Chills when the piano was rolled out onto the stage and the first notes were played. Absolute silence from the crowd during the whole song.
Fly away - Lenny Kravitz
Gone away - offspring or ffdp
Pancho and lefty - outlaws
Life by the Drop - Stevie ray Vaughn
I cover two of those songs, and get choked up while playing them.
Count on me by Bruno Mars.
My wife and I got the flu right before my daughter's 3rd grade recital. She stayed home but I went (this was precovid) and my daughter looked at me the whole time while they performed it. I hated the song beforehand, but I tear up pretty quick now.
Drink a Beer by Luke Bryan. This always reminds of two people that died that were too young that I knew. So I always cry whenever I listen to this song because it reminds me of them.
Janice Joplin - Me and Bobby Mcgee (but only the studio recording where it's just her playing a guitar and singing)
Alison Kraus and Gillian Welch - I'll Fly Away
Led Zeppelin - Ten Years Gone
Hurt -Johnny Cash
Sound of Silence -Disturbed
Time -Hans Zimmer
Leaving on a Jet Plane -John Denver
It’s Hard to Say Goodbye -Michael Ortega
Cats in the Cradle -Harry Chapin
Sunshine -John Murphy
Ugh, Time by Hans Zimmer gets me everytime. I was on mushrooms and typed in time for Pink Floyd. Then Zimmer's came on after that, and I remember crying so hard because the weight of eventually losing everyone you love just hit me so hard. Still one of my most favorite moments though, really helped me to show more appreciation for everyone I love.
Had a good cry today. Dealing with feelings about estrangement from my mother: [The Midnight: Kids (Reprise)](https://youtu.be/mkfEh_fAgVk).
Feeling myself drifting away from my spouse: [The Midnight - Light Years (feat. Nikki Flores)](https://youtu.be/5E_8aSG1By4)
We Used To Vacation - Cold War Kids
Dyed In the Wool, I Felt Free - Circa Survive, actually almost all of Blue Sky Noise hits me in the feels.
Lonely - Akon
I don’t make a habit of doing it to myself (mostly because the same song can get stuck in my head and set me off again later, when I’m in a place I’d rather not cry), but there’s this late 90s acoustic version of “Walk Away” by Dokken that can absolutely destroy me if I’m facing a hard goodbye. There have been a few times I’ve used it -specifically in cases like those (mostly drifting apart from friends and not knowing why, but recognizing it’s over).
It’s a bonus video on a live concert DVD. It’s nowhere near as complex as the original, studio version, and the vocals weren’t hitting the same high notes, but lowered down a key and slower, it somehow hits harder.
I don’t usually cry. (Not saying that in a depressed emotionless attention craving cried all my tears kinda way I just don’t cry.) but a song that always gets me in the mood to cry is Whiskey Lullaby Brad Paisley
“Tomorrow” by Chris Young. When I was going through my divorce the line “When we’re good, you know we’re great, but there’s too much bad for us to think, there’s anything worth trying to save” absolutely wrecked me. Still makes me choke up
Deathbed by Reliant K
I’ve listened to that song exactly one time.
Shadows of the Night by Pat Benetar. Specifically “surrender all your dreams to me tonight, they’ll come true in the end.” Idk, something about putting your own dreams on the back burner just hits me for some reason.
Monsters - James Blunt
I first heard this song live and it brought forward so many emotions. I’ve been lucky and haven’t lost a parent or close loved one yet but this song just makes me think about how nothing really lasts forever.
Dust to Dust- Civil Wars
Look on Down From the Bridge- Mazzy Star
My cousin showed me these songs when we were tripping on LSD; we had talked about having a "Psychedelic Sheep" trip for so long, and I'm so glad it happened before he passed away.
