Songs That Make You Cry -

[Hongourable Madisha]

Tracy Chapman's Fast Car always gets me. It's all the lost hope and cycle repeating itself and how crushingly typical and inescapable the whole situation feels. It's not overdramatic, it's just a normal sad life.

 

[Volthoom]

 

[Max Doof]

Not "cry" also but man does this hit the feels especially first hearing it on trainspotting 2.

The song is like the embodiment of wasting your life away and it seems like it's too late to change it.

 

[Crackhead]

(The cure : The funeral party) This song makes me cry depending on my mood
I love the synths

And Radiohead :how to disappear completely https://youtu.be/nZq_jeYsbTs

 

[PurpleSquirrel]

Oft-covered, but this is my favorite version. A tale of an average young man sent off to war, and paying a terrible price for his loyalty and bravery. I listen to it every Veterans/Remembrance Day.

A poem rather than a song, but this one gets the waterworks going every time.

 

[Brahma]

Chocolate Genius - My Mom

Think I got it from a bawww thread on /b/ years ago.

I'm in a better place than I was when I needed them outlet bit it can still make me dirty cry

 

[Myra]

Really underrated artist. There's a 5 year old comment on the video that says "A year ago this was my wife's public suicide note. It really captures what she was feeling. Makes me love and hate it at the same time."

 

[Merry]

Hausswolff's songs always sound like something you might hear in an ancient ritual, but the normal kind

 

[ee.zdoom]

Go to cry song is joy division - disorder
the song AC/DC - you shook me all night long makes me tear up because it reminds me of my dad

 

[kiwi-identified cow]

Probably the song that has hit me the hardest for about two years. I interpet the lyrics as being about an irreversible change occurring overnight, possibly in a relationship. For the first year or so, I couldn't listen to this without crying through it, but I have a better grip on what it reminds me of these days.

well they dont make cry because im not a faggot but asphalt world and the living dead can almost bring a lump to my throat.

not to mention still life

 

[Yuuichirou Kumada]

There's something about this symphony of synths that makes me shed tears every time I listen to it.

 

[Gig Bucking Fun]

Probably a cop-out answer, but Johnny Cash’s “Hurt”

This song gets me every fucking time. I’ve listened to a hundred “sad songs” that didn’t make me feel shit, but a song reflecting on your lifelong failings performed by a man who self-admittedly burned a lot of bridges due to his own lack of constitution, expressing how much he wishes he could go back in time and do everything different, or at least be able to try and make amends if only he had a little more time, but also realizing his life is over; I’m tearing up just writing about it.

Couple this with the fact that this was one of Cash’s last performances before actually dying, his hauntingly frail vocals with his complete lack of hope or optimism, this is something that cannot be faked. This is one of the most genuinely heart-breaking messages I’ve ever heard in a song.

 

[Biggimus Bettimus]

I'm a basic bitch. This song doesn't make me sad-cry; it makes me hopeful-cry. It just overwhelms me with how cute it is. This one is an always-cry, another T. Swift song is a MAYBE-cry (Our Song)

There's something about this symphony of synths that makes me shed tears every time I listen to it.

I love this album!

 

[Governor Jeb Bush]

reminds me of so much. a time i won't ever experience again.

 

[TFT-A9]

Don't know about "cry" but maybe a bit misty.

 

[Titos]

Edit: I'm an idiot who forgot I already posted/mentioned the song I previously posted. So I'll post this one instead, always makes me misty.

 

[Mamas boy]

 

[RavenCrow]

 

[Poppavalyim Andropoff]

when Johnny Cash does Hurt
