Music to bring them tears awwww

[phallam]

Heeeyaaa alll!

I've been wondering what tunes ppl cant help but cry to when they listen to them.

I would love to have a nice collection on my mp3 player to listen to before going to sleep to let out all my tears to (im having hard times lately and just want to release some pressure hehe).

These tunes get me feeling 'emotional':
Groove Armada - Remember (its pretty upbeat but for some reason it makes me feel 'sad', must be the lyrics)
Mahler - 5th Symphony (gets me every time)

So what tunes can u guys recomend? Classical or Modern

[icedawg]

hrm.

'amazing grace' on bagpipes?

i've personally always found 'jessie' by joshua kadison to be kind of sad too, although i suppose the lyrics are a little silly. :mrgreen:

[CT]

Streetlight Manifesto - The Big Sleep
AFI - Silver and Cold

[Rakkantekimusouka]

Tackey & Tsubasa - True Heart
Sailor Stars Music Collection Volume 1 - Sailor Stars Song ~ Violin/Piano Duet Version

If you'd like to hear any of these then email me and I will send them to you. Have your heartstrings thoroughly tugged upon!

:cry:

[phallam]

thanks for the suggestions! :D Keep em coming hehe

I thought of another (i cant believe i forgot about it):

Eva Cassidy - Somewhere over the Rainbow < that was played at my Grans funneral and it just got me goin.

[Amethyst Star]

Oh geeze! Where do I begin. Some are tear-bringers while others are just heart movers. Most are classical because that's what I'm listening to right now.

Tear Bringers
"Honey" (an oldie; can't remember the artist)
"When all is said and done" (Geoff Moore and the Distance)
"If We Never Meet Again" (Selah)
"Adagio for Strings" (Barber - orchestral)
"Moonlight Sonata" (J. S. Beethoven)

Heart Movers
"Adagio" (Albinoni)
Fauré's "Requiem" - namely "En Paradisum" (some movements can also be under Tear Bringers)
"Gollum's Song" from the soundtrack of "The Two Towers"
Most of the "Braveheart" soundtrack

That's all I can think of right now.

-Amé

i was thinking "Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, but didn't mention it before for whatever reason. If anyone doesn't immediately recognize that, it plays during the credits of Meet Joe Black and it's also in the movie Finding Forrester.


'k bye

lucidnina's mentioning of sarah mclachlan reminded me of "Deliver Me" by Sarah Brightman (those two pretty much headed up the soundtrack of "Broken Down Palace"). anyway, it's a great tune... those two sarahs have some incredible voices.

I liked "Eyes on me" in FF VIII, specially at the ending montage it was really nicely done...

Songs that maybe won't draw a tear in my eye but still move me

"Through her eyes" Dream Theatre (the live version with a guitar intro that lasts for like five minutes is the one that really beats me into submission)

"Love song for a Vampire" Annie Lennox

"How I made millions" Radiohead

"Tajabon" Ismael Lo (I don't know what the hell this song is about, but it gives me really sad memories)

[Truthbearer]

Songs that have brought tears to my eyes:

Aerosmith - Full Circle
Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight
Enanitos Verdes - Eterna Soledad
Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
Green Day - Time Of Your Life
Incubus - Here in My Room
Oasis - Stop crying your heart out (how ironic)
Seether - Your Bore (angry tears mostly)
Smashing Pumpkins - Perfect

As you can see there is a theme going on here...most of them have to do with things coming to an end, issue that has always been pretty hard for me to handle...

Songs that touch me very much:
\"Through her eyes\" Dream Theatre[/b]
never heard the live version, but this song is fucking great) My favorite one from the album is "The spirit carries on" though...that one is just one of the most amazing songs ever

Blink 182 - Adam's Song
Cold - Bleed
Coldplay - In My Place
Coldplay - Trouble
ColdPlay - Yellow
Counting Crows - Colorblind
Counting Crows - Round Here
Green Day - Boulevard of broken dreams
Hoobastank - Disappear
Incubus - Agoraphobia
Incubus - Echo
Incubus - Favorite things
Incubus - Under My Umbrella
Oasis - Little By Little
Pearl Jam - Last Kiss (such a depressing concept)
Puddle Of Mudd - Blurry
Radiohead - Creep
Staind - Outside

Let's leave it with those for now...I revised all of my playlist and found the one's that touched me the most.

I just now realized how much of a cry baby I am....

[phallam]

Craig Armstrong - Balcony Scene (from Romeo and Juliet) <-- lovely simple tune :)
Craig Armstrong - This Love (from Cruel Intentions) <-- this is played when Seb dies :( This tune doesnt really make me feel too sad but it's still a beautiful piece.

I recommend everyone to get Craig Armstrongs albums, especially his limited piano works cd.

[sensi]

Just off the top of my head one whole cd i used to play at night when i wanted to cry was - Ben Harper and the innocent criminals, Live from Mars, disc two. Songs like Waiting for an angel, roses from my friends. It’s all acoustic so no crazy guitar leads to distract ya.

Also depends what kind of crying, angry crying maybe songs like - chop suey, system of a down, toxicity

I dunno here’s some that use to make me sad,

Down in a hole - Alice in chains
Would - Alice in chains
wish you were here - Pink floyd
comfortably numb - pink floyd
Hurt - Johnny Cash
Never tears us apart - Inxs
Straight to you - Nick Cave
Like a hurricane - Neil young
November Rain - Guns and roses
Joga - Bjork
5 years - Bjork
Tomorrow Wendy - Concrete Blonde
It’s too late - The streets
Heart of gold - Neil young
Old man - Neil Young
Noose - Perfect circle
Out of habit- Ani deFranco
Bliss - Tori Amos

The last two are New Zealand artists worth checking out

Little things - Trinity Roots
Remember - P money

Oh the list could go on but it’s actually kind of depressing trying to think of sad songs.

Peace Sensi.

[sensi]

Hey Truthbearer,

Man you just reminded me of one of the most depressing times of my life. With that track - Round here, Counting Crows. I used to listen to a few of the tracks on that album. I just dug it out. Man music brings back such full on memories. Glad I’ve moved on from that headspace. Thank god for change.

Peace Sensi.

[Alex D]

THANK YOU!
I was wondering if I was going to be the one to post it, but you beat me to it.
And I'll have to agree for all of Sarah McLachlan's songs...Fallen and Time specifically.
Dunno if anyone's said it yet, but
Here Without You - Three Doors Down
:cry:

[A Lost Soul]

Songs that make A Lost Soul cry:

My Immortal – Evanescence
Brothers – Michiru Oshima (this one gets me every friggin time)
Something I Can Never Have – Nine Inch Nails
Brick – Ben Folds Five (because I was in a similar situation and let me tell you… that drive home is the longest drive home ever. I can’t listen to this song anymore.)
Winter – Tori Amos

There’s also some country song that I can’t recall the name of… it’s about a soldier though and I cried when I heard it because all I could think of is my brother and everything we were feeling when he was in Iraq.

[LucidDreamGod]

I don't know if this will make you sad but it sort of is grave yard music, at least thats what my dad says.

-Amé

[Truthbearer]

I'm glad you liked it...I have been reading these guys site for the past few days and most of their improv missions are simply brilliant. I would recommend that everyone with a few spare minutes in need of a laugh check some of them out...

[Amethyst Star]

I especially got a kick out of the "Meet Anton Chekov"... I just took Russian lit, so it was funny to me at least. And the bathroom servant at McDonalds.... yes, brilliant.

All of these are great...don't think any of them has made me cry, but they are great nonetheless. Everything would be the closest one of the 3 to drawing tears on me...it is a very emotional one

[SleepSpirit]

dude,
don't put quotes of somethin I didn't actually write.. . .

I didn't say Nirvana's version of Teen spirit...

Tori Amos' version.... .
have u ever heard it ?
it's crazy sad,

[Truthbearer]

I know you didn't mean the nirvana version, but since I haven't heard the tori amos version, then I tweaked it a bit to reflect the one I actually have heard. I have to hear this tori amos version...wonder how radically can she change the mood of the song to something that might make me want to cry, or that will be terribly more emotinal

[voidofform]

Fleetwood Mac - Gypsy

I cannot listen to this song without bringing a tear, ever since i read the story of it.

The story of it is here: http://inherownwords.com/gypsy.htm (near the bottom).

Let it be - the beatles, (i played it on the piano on the funeral of my grandfather :cry: )

[irishcream]

Linda Thompson- All I See- it's not that it makes me cry exactly, but it's very poignant just now... 'And its too late/to try separation.
Go read the lyrics...i can't explain...

The Immaculate Fools -Got me by the heart

two very touching songs.

[Yume]

Taking Back Sunday - New American Classic
It makes me think of a lot of pain that pointless rejection brings.

It reminds me of all the people that put themselves down without reason.

[Kula]

Annie Lennox - Into The West

I can't listen to this without blubbing :cry:
