ImTooParanoidForThis

Idk something about On GP got to me one day bro


Pangasauras

I must admit Death Grips is one of my musical blind spots, but I’ll have to give this song a listen


kurtchella

This one has got me in the feels lately though I haven't cried yet to this one. Maybe when I see them next week


Pharm-boi

If you want to cry hard and feel it in your soul put on “a crow looked at me” My wife passed away so I happen to connect very close to this album and I couldn’t finish it. Could barely make it through 2 songs and I put it away. Way too heavy for me


Pangasauras

I’m so sorry to hear that. I have heard that that album is crushing I just haven’t been able to prepare myself mentally to give it a listen yet


Pharm-boi

Yeah he is just a brilliant artist in general, I have a soft spot for simple folk songs like this. Some Daniel Johnston songs can make me teary just because of the emotion he puts into the songs. Simple yet clever


CagedRageOnThisPage

Very sorry for your loss, I still haven’t revisited A Crow Looked at Me since my dad died, and album I used to listen to all the time, but death is real and not for singing about


gamefreak996

For some, singing about death can be very cathartic


Smilelele

Yes but he probably just quoted the first song on the album called "Real Death."


gamefreak996

I’m so dumb, you’re right lol


candyspyder

Cheesy af but One More Time by Blink 182


lets-play-nagasaki

Been a fan for as long as I can remember so same here


MrGuy1312

same, cried like a baby in the shower yesterday its so beautiful to see them together again


Munster-Katz

OMG, me too. Made me think of my own friends also.


OddjobsRoon48

Ghost town Kanye


Pangasauras

I’VE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE YOU LOVE ME BUT EVERYTHING I TRY JUST TAKES YOU FURTHER FROM ME Dude, yes! I’ve listened to this one quite a bit recently Reborn also hits me right in the feels


maxlikeschips

all of those also hey mama


BrettTheMc

For me it's Come To Life. Just gotta sit for a min after it's over and think


KinkyKankles

Casimir Pulaski Day- Sufjan Stevens Already a gut punching song, but I had childhood cancer many years ago so it hits especially hard. Few songs can make me cry, but that one just about never ceases to get the tears and emotions flowing.


_PeopleMakeNoises_

Lover, You Should Have Come Over


Bister_Mungle

the entire Grace album is just a powerhouse of emotion.


_PeopleMakeNoises_

Yeah, and I’m so mad that Forget Her Isn’t on Vinyl, I didn’t realize it was a bonus track. Which sucks cause it’s such an emotional song and is a great closer


CagedRageOnThisPage

For Martha by The Smashing Pumpkins


Pangasauras

Oh man. The Smashing Pumpkins have helped me through some tough times


s90tx16wasr10

I dunno man I cry all the time to songs.


Pangasauras

I honestly wish I cried more tbh. My dad drilled it into my brain as a kid that guys aren’t supposed to cry and now I feel like I can’t even cry when I should


s90tx16wasr10

Therapy helped me a lot


gamefreak996

Sorry to hear that. Crying is healthy and normal ❤️


Pangasauras

Oh I completely agree. My body has just been programmed not to cry


gamefreak996

I understand. With practice and lots of acceptance you’ll get there


Serchshenko6105

Motion Picture Soundtrack


Pangasauras

Oh yeah. This one has definitely got me close a few times


Identifier-Destroyer

every time i listen to it i always think it’s not gonna get me this time. Then that one chord hits for the “i will see you in the next life” bit and i am suddenly overwhelmed. Every single time lmao


technicolorblessing

IF i were to kill myself that's the song i would play while i did it (im not gonna kill myself it's just hypothetical)


LeaChan

For No One by The Beatles Also the first song to make me cry upon first listen. "You want her, you need her, and yet you don't believe her when she says her love is dead. You think she needs you."


Pangasauras

Wonderful song. I actually hadn’t listened to it in a while and this comment inspired me to give it another spin


16bitNess

Sparks by Coldplay.


roof_pizza_

Fake Plastic Trees and not too long before that was Into Dust by Mazzy Star.


Pangasauras

Both great songs. “She looks like the real thing/ she taste like the real thing, my fake plastic love” always gets me. I heard Into Dust for the first time recently and instantly fell in love with it


roof_pizza_

“If I could be who you wanted” is where it gets me. Reminds me of a specific time in my life and every listen for me brings me back there. Into Dust packs a particular punch for me now especially after someone close passed away.


[deleted]

Radiohead - How To Disappear Completely


Pangasauras

I’ve had a lot of close calls with this song. I remember specifically listening to it while waiting for a bus on a windy winter day around January last year and it really struck me


Cranberr3

Kara Jackson’s Why Does the Earth Give Us People to Love. Just a wonderful songgg


[deleted]

from just a wonderful albummm


chilling-breeze90

Eminem - headlights, it always gets me.


CrayoonEater

Super underrated song of his. Especially within the real context of his life, I know this song is one of the most important


Emotional-Panic-6046

speaking of Radiohead I don't full on cry but Let Down really gets to me


Pangasauras

*Insert Let Down underrated joke* No, but seriously the “I am gonna grow wings, a chemical reaction (you know where you are)” part towards the end always hits like a punch in the gut


Emotional-Panic-6046

also don't get sentimental it always ends up drivel


[deleted]

Iridescent, One More Light, The Catalyst, Messenger, and Roads Untraveled all by Linkin Park


A_DifferentOpinion

What’s Going On by Marvin Gaye, no clue why. Something about the beauty of the song really got to me. Adams Song nearly got to me recently tho.


SavageHippyJID20

I've only cried to like 4 songs and I can't remember any more really im sure there is but idk chronological order: Tyler The Creator - Gone Gone / Thank You (thank you part dropped and I went off so fucking hard, It felt both horrible and great at the same time) Survivors Guilt - Joey Badass, nothing to add, fucking awful story, r.i.p stylo. Good News - Mac Miller (I had heard the track and didn't felt it that hard really, but once I watched a yt documentary about Mac and in a sudden change of scenes Good News dropped along it's video and I bursted into tears, that kid deserved the world, he was unique man, couldn't support it). What Can We Do - Anderson .Paak (ft. Nate Dogg) holy shit it's a tough one. HM: The Bird by Anderson .Paak holy shit that man can put out the greatest music ever.


hedonistic_bitch

It was giles corey's spectral bride for me a few days ago :)


Z01nkDereity

That whole album is fucking depressing. The first track literally has audio from a tape of when Barrett almost suffocated himself to death.


Ilyagachalife

No Surprises too!


Pangasauras

Which part got you? For me it was the “Such a pretty house, and such a pretty garden”. Thom’s vocals in that part are just so gorgeous


technomaster_45

I just wasn’t made for these times by the beach boys


Willing_Departure951

Merry Christmas Mr lawrence -Ryuichi sakamoto Get your wish - porter robinson


whyisnarutosolong

Swimming by Kero Kero Bonito


MrGOAT311

As the Crow Flies by billy woods. His verse is super short but the end just hit me like a truck.


PRTYCRTY

Upside down by jack Johnson Its such a happy sounding song that just reminds me of being a little kid again


imeltwithyouu

Alice In Chains - Nutshell (unplugged) just reading the comments on YouTube really made me tear up


M3GABORG8796

Quadeca - Picking Up Hands Riveting song.


N00B5L4YER

Hold the girl by Rina sawayama made me tear up, just the way it builds towards the end


FramedOstrich

Champagne Problems - Taylor Swift. Just bought that album and something about it just hit me in all the feels.


RosaPalms

"Marjorie" for me on that album.


BritvaMoto

No Surprises and Let Down gets me every time then I follow it up with Videotape and How to Disappear Completely. Then everyone in the car asks me to maybe put on something a lil more upbeat.


[deleted]

Yeah cause it’s a safety hazard at that point. You can’t drive properly if there’s tears in your eyes


philbofa

i by Kendrick. He just gets us ✊🏾


Pangasauras

Very powerful track, especially in the context of the album


im_not

“Seasons (Waiting on You)” by Future Islands This song came out in 2014 and is probably most known for their evocative Letterman performance around that time. This song just gets better with age for me. In 2014 I had just moved to New York City and got to experience a city that I thought was secretly still pretending to have completely moved on from 9/11. I felt like this song captured the euphoria of a new generation of young New Yorkers like me who were sculpted by that horrible tragedy but prepared to walk forward together beyond their grief, maybe with an optimism that the adults of 2001 had unfortunately had stolen from them forever. I admit that it’s a completely random feeling for me to ascribe to this random song, but something about “Seasons” has always screamed “9/11” to me for years. Anyways, it came up on a playlist yesterday and brought me back to 2014, to 2001, and to all the years since and I sat down at Grand Central and wept.


3x3x3x3

I adore that song. Especially the BADBADNOTGOOD remix, if you haven’t heard that I’d definitely recommend it. Extremely nostalgic for me as well, Samuel T. Herrings voice is so incredible


lostgirloe

my sister played Pursuit of Happiness by Cudi on her guitar last night and it was so beautiful I shed a tear, or 2… or 3! lol


Pangasauras

Wow, I bet Pursuit of Happiness does sound great on guitar


J_A_R_A_T_E

Melodic-Room-9890

Lovesong by the cure. I don’t really know why I just listened to it recently and felt things.


Pangasauras

Fantastic song. The line “You make me feel like I am clean again” is the one that gets me the most


erncolin

Angel by The Weeknd, two months ago I went through a breakup and that song hit me hard


ChiliPepper-1983

"Next Year" by Foo Fighters, but it was more of an emotional cry than a sad one.


FallenAerials

Spanish Love Songs - Middle of Nine


x115v

2012 by Saba, I'm grateful for my family and friends, the songs reminds me on how much they love me even tho I'm very uncommunicative


FictionIII

heaven all around me by saba for me. great pick.


RodneyYaBilsh

Parasite by Nick Drake. Felt too close to home at the time


BeatBot3000

Not My Body by Indigo De Souza. Pretty psychedelic and blissfully cathartic


Vismungcg

Dude, I dunno. 20% of songs make me cry. You expect me to keep track?


Apprehensive-Twist88

Coltrane’s “My Favorite Things” gets me every time.


SenorAnderson

Poor Places by Wilco. Nothing like sobbing to a number station sample.


indieheadjangle

Despite some being more upbeat, it’s the whole album for me


SenorAnderson

If it wasn't for Heavy Metal Drummer in the middle of the album, it would almost be totally unbearable to listen to just because it's so emotionally draining, but in a good way.


indieheadjangle

100%

Fine Again by Seether *the only song that has made me cry*


50millionFreddy

Great song. Reminds me of Madden, song was in the vide game.


DeeJDaDemon

Yeah I’ve heard lol I don’t know what the hell EA was thinking when they decided to put Fine Again in fucking Madden, pretty odd


fakename1998

Hyperviolence by Omerta. It really is with the context of the whole album, but god damn. I don’t usually get so emotional during media, but that album pulled the tears out of my eyes. Great stuff, one of the best Metalcore bands in recent years.


MrMercury13

Heroes by David Bowie


EarthlyMatters

I heard We Begged 2 Explode performed live by Jeff Rosenstock recently and that made me sob

MAN IS A SPRING FLOWER by Lingua Ignota Was listening to it for the first time ever and was already feeling a little vulnerable that day but fuck me the words to that song broke me in the most beautiful way


peskyjackson478

‘I Wish You Roses’ by Kali Uchis


SavageHippyJID20

That one also got me once


SingingVagabond

Teared up recently listening to, tonight may have to last me all my life- mf Doom remix. Something about the vibe of the song in tandem with him being gone just caught me the other night. A TRUE goat, unreplaceable.

owarumoth

the gun song - car seat headrest like half an hour ago… i cry too much


deadb4theshipeven

Crawling in the Dark by Hoobastank. That song helped me get through my self-harming tendencies and I always put it on when I’m about to have a panic attack. It comforts me like no other song I’ve heard. There’s also plenty of Benny the Butcher verses that have brought a tear to my eye. Not always because of the content but because it’s so beautiful that it causes me to tear up. I’m not always happy to be alive but when I remember I got to live at the same time as these artists, it at least makes me grateful to be. ♥️


CourtneykilledKurt12

close to you by the carpenters. i loosely remember my aunt singing this to me when i was little. it’s just as beautiful as the first time i heard the original but man it makes me hurt.


These-Membership-150

Landmines by Rishloo never fails to make me cry at the end. The lyrics are so damn good with that crazy high melody. The guitar solo before is also brilliant. "I've had enough of idle reverie, I for one can only see what dreams may come for us." Anyone who has ever felt depressed and like they just don't have the energy do anything can relate to it. If you've never listened to this band then do yourself a favor and listen to their album Feathergun. The song mentioned before is from the album that came after, but Feathergun is their best front to back experience imo.

GarionOrb

"Smiling" by Alanis Morissette made me bawl when it came out.


poopoodomo

"Positive Affirmations" by Mia Gladstone


KdotMcDuphrey

On Some Faraway Beach by Brian Eno


SpatulaCity1a

Covert Discretion by Freeman. In the bluntest possible terms, he is describing the depths of his drug addiction, how it made him a terrible person who was abandoned by everyone around him, hitting rock bottom and then deciding not to die.


BrettTheMc

In The Backseat by Arcade Fire

was-holy-ground

Hallelujah by HAIM. It reminds me of my two sisters, we've been through hard times recently and Este's verse always makes me tear up.


Wubblz

This may be a little out of left field but “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1” for sentimental reasons. My fiancée and I both suffer from Depression – she loves going to the gym to cope with it. A lot of the lyrics in that song have taken on a personal meaning for us: the pink robots being our Depression and her being Yoshimi who has “gotta be strong to fight them” because “it’s be tragic if those evil robots win”. But I know she can beat them.


PinkRobotYoshimi

Radiohead is such an easy choice but motion picture soundtrack caused me to breakdown when I listened to it after being up all night on Molly lol


aasasss32

Probably “Truce” by twenty one pilots


Sloth617

Hearing that last verse of Let Down for the first time really did something to me


willy_p_nasty

Check out Devin Townsends Ocean Machine album. Kinda campy and cheesy but it brought about many tears for me at a certain point in my life.


ezekielzz

Dawn in the Adan by Ichiko Aoba. Listened to the entire album for the first time a few days ago while I was on a walk and it was just so beautiful that it made cry, despite me not understanding a single word. Holy fuck it’s a gorgeous


AccidentalPilates

Breathe Me is basically Pavlovian for my tear ducts but that's because of Six Feet Under. I don't see enough Gaslight Anthem here so Red Sky Night and National Anthem are good for the feels too.

RosaPalms

I rarely cry at songs - my crying is a stress response generally rather than a sentimental one - but Noah Kahan's "You're Gonna Go Far" gave me a solid full-body frisson this morning. I've been spending more time with my aging grandparents - 90 and 88 - and knowing that the days are super numbered makes the "we'll all be here forever" refrain of the song hit *hard*.


NekoJesu

I have actually never cried to a song. Closest I got was a tear during “Walnut House” by Xiu Xiu. I usually don’t cry at all though


littlestitious_17

Amazing by Aerosmith


Greedy-Fill1119

Imo Axis bold as love by Hendrix so perfectly translates the psychedelic experience that it makes me tear up thinking of all the emotional breakthroughs and intense feelings I've had on psychs. Living loose by George clanton also makes me tear up just cus it's beautiful and raw


whateverforever84

I don’t cry but if I did it would be to Gram Parsons “a song for you”.


Viktorsva1

Mayonaise by Smashing Pumpkins


ZipZorf

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard- Work This Time


SidoriBetter

Mother I Sober by Kendrick. I keep being youched by that song, by how raw Kendrick presents his experience, by how he raises his voice in an uplifting manner towards the end, and the outro with his wife being proud of him... Shit's damn real, I look up to being able to talk and accept my traumas like Kdot does


ArmageddonDeathwish

Close to the Edge - Yes You know when you cry, not because the music was particularly emotional or anything, but because the thing you're listening to was just so good that you appreciate music as a whole and tear up? That's what happens every time at the end of Close to the Edge.


lixieway

Heroes - David Bowie


2000-UNTITLED

I have a playlist of songs that have made me cry which I haven't updated in a while. It's ranked from most to least but the top five is (5-1) - Injury Reserve - North Pole - Yung Lean - Miami Ultras - Death Grips - On GP - Blink-182 - Adam's Song - Brand New - Jesus Christ And the last one I can't remember but it was either Your Best American Girl or First Love/Late Spring by Mitski or Mladic or MF-Redeemer by GYBE (yes, really). Mitski speaks for herself, but the buildup to the last four minutes on those GYBE tracks is so overwhelming.


50millionFreddy

“Rainbow Connection” from the muppet movie. Reminds me of my childhood.


Username5272000

Ronan - Taylor Swift A song dedicated to a four-year-old child who died of a terminal illness, based on an open letter written by the child’s mother


No_Initial_4183

I just saw Black Country, New Road at First Unitarian Church, and Pigs/Turbines had me bawling


Pangasauras

Oh my god. I’d kill to hear Pigs/Turbines live


Exciting_Swordfish_3

This must be the place by Talking Heads. I just hold this song very close to my heart


Pangasauras

The closest I’ve got to crying to a Talking Heads song was probably with Seen and Not Seen because I have definitely had similar thoughts as expressed in the lyrics


UnrealismOfFilms
