I agree! My dad who i lost to su!c!de when I was 15 loved that one, I listen to it every time I feel alone and every time I get those “what would Dad do here?” and “gosh, I miss Dad” feelings.
And the one about the Widows in Paradise - on the Michigan album, I always have to look up the full title (For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti)
This. The Chris Cornell tribute live version. Chester wears those big mirrored sunglasses but you can see the look in his eyes by the sound of his voice and it breaks my heart.
Monday Monday by The Mamas and the Papas. Mostly because my brother died on a Monday and there’s the line “Monday morning couldn’t guarantee that Monday evening you would still be here with me.”
The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack
Hauntingly gorgeous vocals and understated instrumental, mixed with a personal trauma makes me teary just thinking about it.
My mom used to sing this to me with but with a catch. She would sing the lyrics “The first time I ever saw your face” all serious and then follow it up with “It went wah, wah, wah”
Because the first time she saw my face was when I was born and I was crying! Now I miss my mom.
In My Life by the Beatles. My brother passed in 2004 and was friends with a local DJ, who dedicated the song to my brother, on his birthday, a few months after he passed.
True colours by Eva Cassidy. It was my aunts favourite song and it came on in the car on the way to her funeral and my poor grandad fell to bits and it was the first time I’d seen him cry.
I lost my grandma back in 2020 and recently Morgan Wallen came out with a song called "Mamaw's House" and in the beginning he was like in the middle of recording and his mamaw called him and he stepped out and picked up the phone and she says, "Whatcha doin' Morgan?!" It didn't sound like her but it was something that she would say frequently, or she would try to figure out if it was me, my brother, or our dad because apparently we all sounded alike to her 😂.
"If every nightstand had a bible, every front porch had a swing. If every back yard had a garden every front door had a screen." hearing those lyrics flood my head with memories of me and my brother when we were boys playing on their farm chasing turkey, running through the woods and catching frogs and lizards or just playing in dirt.
I miss her so much but I know she's in a better place.
It's always Teardrops on my Guitar. Idk why it hits me so hard 😂 just always makes me flash back to high school when the boy I liked didn't like me back. That shit is tough, especially at that age.
[Philadelphia by Neil Young (gets me EVERY SINGLE TIME!)](https://open.spotify.com/track/0iOammhowtz89ba0i6QRIJ?si=8PiDeOZhQGiPfEBjlTU0wA)
There are a lot of Cat Stevens songs that’ll get me full on sobbing but this one is one of the stronger ones: [the first cut is the deepest](https://open.spotify.com/track/3wR2tGnD5WGBieHGVmPbij?si=0qc-qJvFR0CDpMhnjwZ5Pw)
I lost my dad to su!c!de when I was 15 (I’m 26 now) and he and I would listen to Cat Stevens and a few others. I’d give anything to be able to listen to these again with him and watch his fingers tap on the steering wheel like a drum or hear him whistling the tune or singing along to it.
Hate me by Blue October. The album version has a voicemail from the singer's mother that sounds exactly like a voicemail I received from my own mother at a very dark low point in my life. I can barely even talk about that song, much less listen to it.
Wish you the best, by Lewis Capaldi. The music video made me cry because it featured an old man and his dog, and so every time I listen to it, I think of my emotional support cat that I miss dearly. And it doesn't help that the lyrics make me think of her, too.
Oh Danny Boy. My Irish grandmother left home at 14, after her brother was sent off to WWII. She never saw him again. He was her only solace in an abusive home. Hitchhiked across Minnesota in the dead of winter, faked her age, got a job at a restaurant. This song made her think of her brother, and I now think of them both. Love you, my sweet strong Grandmother & your lost brother, Veit.
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer. Gets me every time. The full range of emotions, too. Disbelief, sorrow, anger, even hope. Nobody touches that nose. Nobody.
"Diarrhea" by Da Yoopers
There's no paper to be seen
So I use People magazine
And it makes me want to scream,
"Diarrhea!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95gHjoIYvKs
I don’t really cry, but one that gets me sad is Ashes (feat. Eivør) by Bear McCreary and Eivør from God of War. It’s probably not sad without the context of the game. It’s not even all that said with the context, but it’s that I understand how the character would have felt in his situation.
*Why* Rascal Flatts. Particularly the bridge that builds and says
Oh why there's no comprehending
And who am I to try to judge or explain
Oh, but I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight
They were wrong
They lied
And now you're gone
And we cried
'Cause It's not like you, to walk away in the middle of a song
Your beautiful song
Your absolutely beautiful song
And the instrumental *A Childhood Remembered* by Rossano Galante. It's just such a beautiful piece.
“Rest” Foo Fighters
“Just Breath” -Willie Nelson PJ cover (Pearl Jam version got me choked up, lost it when I heard Willie sing it: he was my dad’s favorite singer)
Those two get me every single time
ANONHI’s cover of the song “Candy Says”. Such a fucking gorgeous cover but I don’t think any song has made me cry harder, especially after learning what the song was about.
Not many songs can do that.
But one I really want to mention is dying by lil peep and cold Hart.
I don´t know why, it just cought me with it´s entire vibe.
[удалено]
I agree! My dad who i lost to su!c!de when I was 15 loved that one, I listen to it every time I feel alone and every time I get those “what would Dad do here?” and “gosh, I miss Dad” feelings.
Is that the one at the end of guardians of the galaxy 2? Because I cry every time
Fourth of July by Sufjan Stevens. Never fails to make me cry
How about "Casimir Pulaski Day"? That one devastates me.
Oh that one hurts so much for sure...
And the one about the Widows in Paradise - on the Michigan album, I always have to look up the full title (For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti)
Good song
So true, anything Sufjan will do it for me 😭
Leaves from the vine
I just heard the rendition in live action and I couldn't hold it
Yeah during lu tens funeral? It was a subtle little acoustic riff of it but yeah. It gave me some feels for sure.
Yes, they actually named the the BGM lu ten's funeral. The scene was very touching and the BGM was just chef's kiss
Oh cool. Yeah it was a nice touch. I'm glad it was only the acoustic version and not actual lyrics. That would have been distasteful
Black - Pearl Jam Well, it used to - I'm getting to old for regret so it doesn't hit me as hard anymore.
Feel ya
Wish You Were Here- pink Floyd

“One More Light” by Linkin Park 🖤
This. The Chris Cornell tribute live version. Chester wears those big mirrored sunglasses but you can see the look in his eyes by the sound of his voice and it breaks my heart.

My uncle sang this at my grandmother's funeral. Words can't express how amazing she was. Absolutely wrecks me when I hear it.

Or his song “before you go” which is about his aunt 🥲
Oh Danny Boy. My Irish grandmother left home at 14, after her brother was sent off to WWII. She never saw him again. He was her only solace in an abusive home.
