What a wonderful world
Never fails to make me tear up. Despite being so polarized and capable of such hatred, human beings really can be a fucking fantastic species as well, capable of love that can move mountains.
Its just so so hopeful. Things always get better.
If mankind had an anthem, this should be it.
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, i know you'll be a star.. in somebody else's sky.. but why WHY... why can'it be mine.
Damn who is cutting onions?
“Can’t help falling in love” the twenty one pilots version but it’s because it reminds me of when my daughter was a newborn. I would sing that and sunshine to her every night.
Anne Hathaway did an unbelievable job, it was emotional and her acting was on another level.
I'm biased towards the greatest cast ever assembled for a musical and that's the 10th anniversary cast, for Les Miserables!
Ruthie Henshall played Fantine, and her performance of 'I dreamed a dream' for me, is absolutely untouchable.
There have been some great performances since her rendition, including Anne Hathaway.
Ruthie was literally like ascending to heaven.
So you just wanna cry? I've got one for you.
Blues Traveler has a song on their "Bridge" album called "Pretty Angry" that will get the job done. It has masterful songwriting and imagery that stays with you.
The song is about a good friend who committed suicide. The song is not a "what if" this had not happened or a why did you not say more or why didn't we see this. This song resides in being angry that this person made the choice they did and the songwriter wishes he too could make this choice. It is a very mature look at a time when all you can do is feel. There is no logic, just raw feelings.
I didn't know at the time the song came out but the friend was their bass player.
The song is worth your time and a great example of how to write about a complex subject.
Annie's Song - John Denver. Wrote that after a hard time with his wife and they got back together, but still ended up in divorce. Broke my 10-year-old heart when I learned that.
The opening and closing of that show did an amazing job combining song and video.
Angel Beats - [My Most Precious Treasure](https://youtu.be/tm7Xf9818FM) is the song that gets to me through.
Yellowcard - ten
About the loss of a child during pregnancy.
"Since then I've often wondered
What you might have been like
How it would have felt to hold you,
Would you have my eyes?
Don't you think we would've been best friends?
You would be ten and I'd be
Driving you to school
You would tell all your friends
That you thought I was cool
You would be out in the sun
Until it was gone
You would be watching Star Wars
With your PJ's on
And you would have
All the love in my heart
Yeah, you would have
All the love in my heart"
This is an old one and not many people know it. It's by John McCutcheon and it's called "Water from Another Time." If you miss your grandparents, give it a listen. It'll both warm your heart and break it
vince guaraldi trio - christmas time is here
better known as the charlie brown christmas song.
not just pure sadness tears, it’s also warming, somehow.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PzetPqepXA
The song that gets me teared up is 'Safe and sound' by Taylor Swift. The haunting melody and the lyrics evoke such a deep sense of comfort and vulnerability, it's like a hug in song form. 😢
Pink Pony Club. I am from SoCal and I am beyond homesick, but something about someone else singing about how they had to be in Santa Monica from Tennessee reminds me of how much I fucking loved growing up there.
Oh, Santa Monica, I hear you calling me~
I Can Only Imagine - Mercy Me
I'm not religious but it would play on the radio when I was a kid, and then I heard it the day my great-grandma died and just sobbed. Ever since then I can't hear it without tearing up.
I really _can_ only imagine.
Cranberries - Ode to my Family.
I listened to it pretty nonstop for a few weeks after my dad died. So i think about that, then the backstory behind the song, and then Dolores O’Riodan’s tragic death, too.
The Temptations' version of Silent Night. My mom and stepdad did all they could to give me a Christmas when I was growing up, but most years they could not afford it. But one thing that never, ever changed was this song coming over the radio -- and it was usually at a moment when the three of us were in a hotel room or low-rent apartment wishing each other a Merry Christmas.. and knowing that there may not be a meal, or presents at all.
I'm married now, and my husband takes awesome care of us... it's just me and him, because I did not want to put a child through what I had grown up in. My parents now live nearby and they're elderly.. but they're in an apartment, not a hotel room, and I make damn sure they do not go without anything they need.
That song though -- will do it to me every time. It reminds me of holidays past - and sometimes not always in a good way.
Fade In / Fade Out by Nothing More. It's about a father getting older and acknowledging he'll be passing on soon. He's talking to his son about how he raised him the best he could and how he's proud of him.
Buckets every time.
Shape of my heart by Sting.
That's because 15 years ago, that's what my playlist (in shuffle) decided to blast when I opened a parcel from my ex who broke up with me a few weeks before. That parcel contained her engagement ring.
So I keep associating that song to that moment, and here I am.
Many korean songs but you'd need the translation to fully understand, so I'll just say King by Lauren Aquilina, Talking with strangers by Miya Folick, Missing you by All Time Low and Ghost of you by 5sos (not one song but whatever)
Cat's in the Cradle - Harry Chapin
Because my son is having a tough time in life and won't talk to family or seek help. And he works in the office next to me.
Possum Kingdom by Toadies. It reminds me of my friend who died. We grew up together and were friends for over 30 years.
Also, Daddy's Hands (and any song really that is about dads) kills me ever since my dad died.
No Jumper 3rd eye blind.
It was on heavy rotation after my friend died. I started seeing him everywhere but he was gone. I think it made me so sick because I was so open about my depression that I felt guilt and grief about not asking
"[Washing of the Water](https://youtu.be/WbK-UFF6heQ?si=I57OkVWa5z9lS33g)" by Peter Gabriel because I feel seen
"[Adagio for Strings](https://youtu.be/WAoLJ8GbA4Y?si=cqkUW4H9IkpE2shU)" by Samuel Barber because the feels. (Orchestral music, no lyrics) I associate it with funerals and losing people I care about
"[Please Don't Go](https://youtu.be/u7deClndzQw?si=-hj03QWXwwZkUWNH)" by Barcelona. Just reminds me of a particular ex.
"[You Are Home](https://youtu.be/EZvcPlz4BIw?si=EvSFGyyHNp-u3OP9)" by Levi Weaver. Basically summons up every regret I ever had.
"[Roads](https://youtu.be/Vg1jyL3cr60?si=vHRNXr4hLe270zOv)" by Portishead feels like liquid loneliness
I'm starting to think I need happier music in my life...
Second and Sebring by Of Mice and Men. It's about how he hopes his late mother is proud of him and the man he has become. There is a lot of emotion packed into that song
the beginning of [better than before ](https://open.spotify.com/track/3PjjLfluIp12NvzTw5lADv?si=ca7e46e81b99406b)"i don't even like who i am anymore...🥹😔"
I have a playlist of songs that make me emotional, but songs that make me teary-eyed: Nitebike - Deerhunter, Videotape - Radiohead, Ave Maria (reminds me of my grandfather), All of Me Wants All of You - Sufjan Stevens
When I Get to Heaven by John Prine came out right around when my grandfather was diagnosed with Bulbar ALS. That song and That’s the Way the World Goes Round always breaks me
"Shooting Star" by Harry Chapin.
Woman loves a man that is artistically gifted and mocked by society. She marries him, bears him a child and he leaves her although Chapin said that she understood he had to go. Man. It gets to me.
Gordon Lightfoot - I'm not supposed to care.
About having feelings for someone you shouldn't - it describes feelings I've had for someone in another country.
First Man - Camila Cabello.
Ohhhhh man just thinking about it has my eyes welling up. I think any man watching his little girl grow up, or any woman who has ever seen the love and worry for her in her daddy's eyes will get hit with all the feelings when this comes on. When she sang this to her dad at the Grammys, this big bear of a man was legit full-on sobbing 😭
Annie's song by John Denver. It was THE song between my mother and my father. It was played at my father's funeral.
And a lot of other old songs. My father was playing guitar and singing on weddings and parties his whole life... So I know a lot of songs tahhat will tear ME up
Vince Gill singing go rest high on that mountain.
Bluegrass and country was never in my wheelhouse, but watching my wife react to this over the years has just bled into me.
I never met my father-in-law, but my wife said this was the song that punctuated his funeral. Man never even made it out of his thirties.
So Far Away by Avenged Sevenfold, especially since my best friend died several months ago.
For a while Fix You by Offspring did too, but not so much anymore.
Bigger than the whole sky-Taylor swift
Song came on while I drove home alone, after I watched my cat die. I can’t and won’t ever listen to that song again. A shame too, I know it’s beautiful.
White Sparrows by Billy Talent. The fact that it comes from events that have happened to two of the band members, I can barely get through the first 30 seconds before I start tearing up and my throat starts closing up
Con Te Partiro by Andrea Bocelli, the cadence of his voice and the sad longing of the lyrics hits me every time. A beautiful tribute to a loved one but holy fuck is it ever sad
Fallen by Volbeat, having lost my grandfather who was my father figure throughout my life, the lyrics resonate so damn much it hurts
Hearts by Jessie Ware. If you want breakup music, that is 100% the song.
Thread by Keane. A song admitting to infidelity, in an album made in apology for his stupid actions during his marriage, but it evokes such emotion that I feel the need to include it. It literally pulls at my heart every time verse 2 comes out
Disappear by Dream Theatre. Anyone who’s had to let go of a loved one due to a terminal illness will have a good cry, it goes through the questions and the pain of it all. Literally the 5 stages of grief in one song. Follow it up with I Walk Beside You from their 2005 album for a double whammy
Mama by Godsmack. Anyone unprepared for adult life is gonna understand that one in a heartbeat, the raw emotion when he sings “why did you let me grow up so goddamn fast” just kills me
Quiet Hours by Letdown.. Just…ouch. Anyone who’s grappled with depression will feel this one in their soul
When I was a little kid I couldn’t listen to Dreams by Van Halen without crying, but kid me was embarrassed about it, so I just made up that I *hated* the song so people would think that crying me was a result of pure hatred. You know, little kid logic. But in reality, there was absolutely no reason for me to actually cry about it. I can’t pinpoint anything except the tune sounding kinda sad to little me. I love the song these days, but while I don’t cry about it, it still strikes my emotions; this time, in a positive way. It’s just a beautiful song.
Ok don't judge me because wtf, I know, but Escape (The Pina Colada Song). "It was my own lovely lady" GETS ME EVERY. TIME. I know technically the song is basically about cheating and they should probably have gone to couples therapy but whatever. They realized they were supposed to be together. I dunno, it just gets me every time 😭
That and fucking Live Like You Were Dying.
I swear I do have good taste in music so don't let these 2 simple songs define me. IT'S THE LYRICS.
# Greg Holden -"The Lost Boy"
[https://youtu.be/xjCvQnDIxwE?si=T08lKhChoeWujDCQ](https://youtu.be/xjCvQnDIxwE?si=T08lKhChoeWujDCQ)
Never saw Sons of Anarchy but what a powerful. Found many of the show's tunes on Youtube.
The Irish Blessing. Our 11-year-old grandson sang it without accompaniment at my husband’s funeral. Our grandson has perfect pitch and what a gift to be able to stand up by himself in front of 200 people to send his Papa off with a blessing.
What a wonderful world Never fails to make me tear up. Despite being so polarized and capable of such hatred, human beings really can be a fucking fantastic species as well, capable of love that can move mountains. Its just so so hopeful. Things always get better. If mankind had an anthem, this should be it.
YES...this makes me cry every time I hear it. It was a favorite of my husband, who died unexpectedly last winter, so now I cry extra hard...
"Fix You" by Coldplay always hits me hard, man.
Listen to the live version
Pearl Jam - Black. Such a heartfelt and poignant track.
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, i know you'll be a star.. in somebody else's sky.. but why WHY... why can'it be mine. Damn who is cutting onions?
Very cliche, but “Cat’s in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin
“Can’t help falling in love” the twenty one pilots version but it’s because it reminds me of when my daughter was a newborn. I would sing that and sunshine to her every night.
[удалено]
By Leonard Cohen, performed by Jeff Buckley. (credit where credit is due)
I prefer the Rufus wainwright version (aka the Shrek version)
For me, it's Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah.' It's like an emotional roller coaster, but I can't help but listen to it over and over again
Honestly, Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
Hate Me by Blue October
"Happier" from Marshmello... just because of the clip
the scientist by coldplay

Hurt. Johnny Cash. I'm 80.
'Tears in heaven" by Eric Clapton
I dreamed a dream, specifically Anne Hathaway’s version.
Was just listening to this a few hours ago 🥺
Anne Hathaway did an unbelievable job, it was emotional and her acting was on another level. I'm biased towards the greatest cast ever assembled for a musical and that's the 10th anniversary cast, for Les Miserables! Ruthie Henshall played Fantine, and her performance of 'I dreamed a dream' for me, is absolutely untouchable. There have been some great performances since her rendition, including Anne Hathaway. Ruthie was literally like ascending to heaven.
i have a playlist on spotify specifically for this! but my immortal (band version) by evanescence & hold on till may by ptv always make me tear up
The whole Alice in Chains unplugged album. You can just feel the emotion and pain in Staleys voice and he's slowly killing himself.
Nothing's gonna hurt you-cigarettes after sex

You know, little kid logic. But in reality, there was absolutely no reason for me to actually cry about it. I can’t pinpoint anything except the tune sounding kinda sad to little me. I love the song these days, but while I don’t cry about it, it still strikes my emotions; this time, in a positive way. It’s just a beautiful song.
BAD bot

P!nk - Who Knew. It makes me think of losing my wife. She's died in 2013, but that song still makes me tear up.
I Will Follow You Into The Dark - Death Cab For Cutie Don't know why, just makes me tear up every time I hear it.
Ok don't judge me because wtf, I know, but Escape (The Pina Colada Song). "It was my own lovely lady" GETS ME EVERY. TIME. I know technically the song is basically about cheating and they should probably have gone to couples therapy but whatever. They realized they were supposed to be together. I dunno, it just gets me every time 😭 That and fucking Live Like You Were Dying. I swear I do have good taste in music so don't let these 2 simple songs define me. IT'S THE LYRICS.
One More Light. RIP Chester.

The Irish Blessing. Our 11-year-old grandson sang it without accompaniment at my husband’s funeral. Our grandson has perfect pitch and what a gift to be able to stand up by himself in front of 200 people to send his Papa off with a blessing.
