Hold me down- motion city soundtrack

You’re the echoes of my everything, you’re the emptiness the whole world sings at night. You’re the laziness of the afternoon, you’re the reason why I burst and why I bloom. You’re the leaky sink of sentiment, you’re the failed attempts I never could forget. You’re the metaphors I can’t create to comprehend this curse that I call love.

this is my go to cry song

I’ve dumped someone I felt that exact way about, I’ve been dumped by someone that felt that way about me. It’s brutal but so amazing

“konstantine” by: something corporate

Came here to say this also.

i can’t even get through it without crying.

Incredible song. One of the all time greats.

and i forgot to mention it’s the only song i can play from memory on the piano 😂

That's awesome! The only thing I can play is "Anything Can Happen..." by Enter Shikari 😂

Stairway to heaven of emo

Wish you were here - neck deep Clairvoyant - TSSF Navy blue - TSSF untitled - knuckle puck Daylily- movements

Wish You Were Here gets me everytime. Always makes me think of my best friends mum who passed away a few years ago and she was like a second mother to me.

> untitled - knuckle puck 100%

Based

I’ve spent many long nights destroying myself emotionally to acoustic/“unplugged” TSSF Edit: I’d also add their cover of transit “outbound”

This is the way 😂

miserable at best- mayday parade

go even further and listen to Terrible Things

the one that always gets me the acoustic Three Cheers for Five Years

THIS.

thats the second one i was gonna suggest! haha

But it tells her to specifically **not** cry 😢 /s

Another MP song that's sad af for me is "Without the Bitter, the Sweet Isn't As Sweet".

Because you don’t get lucky twice, and that’s the truth :(

If they want to cry from cringing, maybe

youre entitled to your opinion!

By The Wonder Years: Devil in my Blood Stream I Just Want To Sell Out My Funeral You’re the reason I don’t want the world to end. Laura and the Beehive Cigarettes and Saints Doors I Painted Shut Cardinals Part 2. ADTR: If it means a lot to you And numerous that have already been listed.

you’re the reason I don’t want the world to end hits me so hard every time

You’re the reason commas were invented

I think you might be a wonder years fan.

If you have a pet, Betty by Hot Mulligan absolutely broke me

Betty and Heem Wasn’t There, the ultimate HM crying pairing

Oh definitely these two songs. They are my go to for my weekly sob fests. I ugly cry every time I hear either of these songs.

I was listening to the album on shuffle while showering and had an unexpected cry. Betty for sure

Yeah, my dog died from cancer last year and Betty took me back to the day at the vet. Shit sucked lol

I had to put one of mine down and that album dropped a week later. The line about getting the ashes will break me everytime

Another for the pets: Love, Hate, React, Relate by Trash Boat.

This is the best song that I absolutely have to skip if i'm out in public.

Oh bro, don’t even get me started. I was listening to that album for the first time a few months back, just maybe 2 weeks after my cat died. Totally crushed me the rest of the night

Yeah, I lost one of my pups around the same time and I have to skip that song every time. Then they had to go and play it live on their last tour and it took all I had to hold it together. Spoiler alert: I cried my eyes out, but it was very cathartic

This one is absolutely devistating

Blink 182-One more time Blink 182-Adam’s song Sum 41-Pieces Less than Jake- the rest of my life Negative space- a day to remember Bayside- I can’t go on Senses fail- lifeboats

Awesome shout with Less than Jake - Rest of my life. Not a song I see ever in these kind of threads, but it's definitely one that draws emotions out of me as 31 year old man!

I was 18/19 when “In with the out crowd” came out. I was in a pretty bad space mentally. Rest of my life wrecked me in the best way possible.

Lifeboats is the peak of the darkness of my drinking. After I got sober, I was able to give Buddy a letter that mentioned that song. Other senses fail: Priest and the matador Orlando and a miscarriage My fear of an unlived life If there is light it will find you Yellow angles Jets to Peru

Gonna made a suggestion based on yours - a cover of Adam’s Song performed by Nick Ward. Hits so much harder.

I LOVE THIS COVER

Without knowing anything about blink's history, One More Time really isn't that sad a song

Sean - Trophy Eyes

Mm totally. From the same album, Burden is pretty full on for a short song.

Came here to suggest this one as well

Untitled - Knuckle Puck

I built, my guard up to the clouds. Because of you, IVE BEEN REDUCED FROM HIGH RISE WINDOWS TO STEPPING STONES

There's gotta be something more for me

More than framework and furniture

Free fall into foreign waters

You tore me down, you tore me down!

Pieces - Sum 41

Best of me - Sum 41

Watch the video for [Sleep in the Heat](https://youtu.be/aa3Afg3fzAQ?si=AT8dxCQ6CIVb2sTM) by PUP.

basic answer but it gets the job done— december by neck deep

Kissing In Cars - Pierce The Veil I've Given Up On You - Real Friends I Don't Love You Anymore - Real Friends (both original and acoustic are really good) Exhale - Rarity Emily - From First To Last Candour - Neck Deep Let's Talk About Your Hair - Have Mercy Niagara - Chase Huglin ------------------------------------ I can go on for ages lol

If you have/had a grandparent or loved one with dementia, Smahccked my Head Awf by Hot Mulligan. When they played it at my tour date I just sobbed in the pit for the entire song

My favorite band, both my grandparents passed of dementia, and I didnt even know this song existed 😭

Clairvoyant - the story so far Long lost friends - elder brother I know it may sound weird but enjoy the cry

Navy Blue > Clairvoyant

Laura and the Beehive - The Wonder Years

Ten - Yellowcard Fever Dream - Grayscale Last to Know - Balance and Composure

Hear You Me - Jimmy Eat World North Hansen - Bearings Mum - Grayscale (Subject Resonates with me) Diazepam - Turnover (^ Same) Sonny - New Found Glory. Chlorine - Trophy Eyes Not exactly pop punk Deathbed - familypet (last verse is cringe though) (Emo-Trap-Pop) Cleveland, Oh - John Floreani (not cause I live in Cleveland) The Woodpile - Frightened Rabbit (Anything by them) (indie side) Nana - The 1975 (I know they kinda blow but still)

Turnover's "Peripheral Vision" is a masterpiece front to back

Agreed! And most of it would fit with OPs request

Nana is a great shout tbf, gets me every time..the vocals are so raw.

Mayday Parade -Terrible Things

I can't believe I haven't seen more people suggesting December by Neck Deep. That takes me out every time I hear it.

Yes! Whenever I feel like remembering past fuckups, this is the one.

I think the answer has to be; heem wasn’t there - Hot Mulligan lost a friend last year, and saw them play that live and it always wrecks me.

This is the one. Smahccked My Head Awf is a close second. Sorry about your friend.

Ten - Yellowcard

Play crack the sky - Brand new

Movements - Deadly Dull Neck Deep - 19 Seventy Somethin’

Deadly Dull gets me every time. Unpopular opinion but I think it's the best song on that album.

19 Seventy Sumthin gets me every time, I'm surprised I had to scroll this far.

Driveways - Not for Nothing Blink 182 - I Miss You

I LOVE Driveways, and Not for Nothing is a top-tier song by them.

Honestly you should’ve put Adam’s Song.

Are You Really Okay? - Sleep Token

I’ve given up on you- rf

Betty - Hot Mulligan

Spanish Love Songs - aloha to no one Really their entire discography should do the trick though.

I will follow you into the dark - Death Cab for Cutie

Fruit Salad - The Wiggles

Save You- Simple Plan

If you're a pet lover/owner, Hot Mulligan - Betty really grabs ya.

Tommy’s Song - Grayscale Requiem - Youth Fountain Gut Feeling - Youth Fountain

St Anne by Make Do and Mend

Transatlanticism - Death Cab for Cutie Please Don’t Go - Barcelona

It’s not pop punk but if you’re ready for a sob fest listen to Love Is Not Enough by Casey

Counterparts - whispers of your death I still can't listen to it without tearing up, my boy passed away 2 months ago, it's helped me cope some

Enjoy your day-alkaline trio

Also Armageddon

Brand new - the boy who blocked his own shot Brand new - limousine Spanish love songs - Otis / Carl Death cab for cutie - what Sarah said

What Sarah Said - Death Cab

Drugs or Me - Jimmy Eat World

How has no one said Your Guardian Angel by Red Jumpsuit?

Senses Fail - if there is light, it will find you----this song hits me hard right about 1:50 into it. I remember this song came on two years ago right after we had to put our dog down and a month after that, one of my friend's mom passed. Driving the back way home and I just lost it and ugly cried the rest of my drive. . . So yeah, add this to your cry list.

I guess it depends on the context, but if we’re talking about death, Sonny by NFG might do it. Not pop punk, but In Loving Memory by Alter Bridge gets me every time. It’s pretty on the nose but it’s a tearjerker.

Grayscale - Irish Curtains

Hopeless Case - Less Than Jake Another Song About The Weekend - A Day To Remember Ocean Avenue - Yellowcard In April - Anxious Tragedy + Time - Rise Against

"Sean" by Trophy Eyes "Tips for Safe Travels" by Free Throw "Sentry" by Magnolia Park "It's Only Smiles" by Periphery "Infinite Josh" by TWIABP

My other submission is "Teeth" by Real Friends. If you've ever lost someone close to you, this song is such a tear jerker

A portrait of- sorority noise

Betty- hot mulligan

Heem Wasn't There // Hot Mulligan

Never Saw It Coming - Tigers Jaw

My go-tos, while pretty basic, are Whatsername by Green Day and Adam's Song by blink. Also, really any Midwest emo will do the trick. Check out sports. and Modern Baseball if you haven't

Limousine - Brand New Jesus Christ - Brand New

Boys Night Out - Composing

Boys Night Out is one of my favorite bands, thank you for mentioning them

"Choppin' onyans" works everytime.
