Music that has actually made you cry

this one always gets me

Original Lyrics
englishTranslation in English
난 아직 그대를 이해하지 못하기에
Because I still can't understand you
그대 마음에 이르는 그 길을 찾고 있어
I am looking for a way to your heart

그대의 슬픈 마음을 환히 비춰줄 수 있는
Something that can make your sad heart shine brightly
변하지 않을 사랑이 되는 길을 찾고 있어
I am looking for a way to love you forever
어디서 찾을 수 있을까
Where can I find it?
그대 마음에 다다르는 길
The way to your heart
찾을 수 있을까 언제나 멀리 있는 그대
Can I find it? You are always so far away
기다려줘 (기다려줘) 기다려줘 (기다려줘)
Please wait for me (please wait for me) please wait for me (please wait for me)
내가 그대를 이해할 수 있을 때까지
Until I can understand you
기다려줘 (기다려줘) 기다려줘 (기다려줘)
Please wait for me (please wait for me) please wait for me (please wait for me)
내가 그대를 이해할 수 있을 때까지
Until I can understand you



Also Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt makes my eyes watery and throat burn

A lot of music has made me cry. Two moments that come to mind are...



AND

I sometimes cry when I hear "Sweet Avenue" by Jets To Brazil, because it reminds me of my ex-wife [it was "our song"]. Not so much any more, but it used to hit me hard.

Big yes. Quicksand really gets to me.
"Don't believe in yourself..."
Also had quite the breakdowns listening to the Blackstar album.

Because Dead Flag Blues is probably the most depressing thing ever written.

^ The flattened penny I got with my vinyl copy brought out a tear.

Also, Mount Eerie's A Crow Looked at Me. You could get the same thing from just reading the lyrics sheet though, it's pretty mundane musically.

Two on the same album. These from Mad Season's Above:

"Wake Up"


^^ Especially when he breaks from the first part of the song into that primal howl. You feel that ****.

"River of Deceit"


I know "River of Deceit" was on the radio for a bit, but I missed it on that medium. It was shear happenstance that I bought this album when I was going through a ton of ****, so I wore this album out and then some. Been a while since those days, but Above is a 10 album all-time for me.

I have a whole bunch of songs that make me cry. Wouldn't even know where to begin. It depends on the mood I'm in, but this might be the most reliable tear-jerker for me.

Last tears streaming down the face song was To Be Over by Yes.

We go sailing down the calming streams
Drifting endlessly by the bridge
To be over
We will see
To be over
Do not suffer through the game of chance that plays
Always doors to lock away your dreams
Think it over
Time will heal your fear
Think it over
Balance the thoughts that release within you
Childlike soul dreamer one journey
One to seek and see in ev'ry light do open
True pathways away
Carrying closer go gently
Holding doors will open everyway
You wander true pathways away
After all your soul will still surrender
After all don't doubt your part
Be ready to be loved

Klaus Nomi's live performances are incredible and enchanting. Truly one of the greats.

Last time I listened to Yes, it also made me cry. The ****ing album just wouldn't end.

That performance especially. Beneath his clothes, he was covered in sores from AIDS and very near his death as he sang a piece where he's begging to freeze to death. Heavy.

Tori Amos - Weatherman

I'm very weak when it comes to music. Lots of songs make my eyes moist. This one gets me every time.


This one hits harder when you consider that it's most likely about her miscarriage.


Just a beautiful song. It's about Tori remembering things her father said to her when she was a young girl about to become a teenager.

Favourite lines:
"Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose, get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove
I run off where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice: "You must learn to stand up
For yourself, cause I can't always be around""

"When you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind?
Cause things are gonna change so fast"

Her lyrics got more and more cryptic over the years.
This song is pretty straight forward.

One of the many performances of the best collection of chords ever put together. I don't mind the words so much as the sound and feelings evoked. It translates across language and ideology.

^^Beautiful performance...doesn't make me cry, coz I'm dead inside, but still beautiful. Great acoustics also.

That's unfortunate. Hopefully someday you'll find it in yourself to cry. There is nothing worse in the world than life being such a way that you cannot even cry.

I dunno if it's genetics or the way life shapes you. My boyfriend cries all the time. Whenever he's moved by something, mostly by sad things, not so much beautiful ones. Can one "open up the faucets" at some point or is it pretty much a finished story by now? :unsure:

I guess that's just the thing. What moves you. I guess there isn't a standard, people are different. But something should. It's no one's place to say what should, but I feel like if nothing does, or if the things that do are destructive to others, then maybe there is a cause for concern.

I was joking about being dead inside, I'm definitely moved by things, I get plenty of goosebumps, things make me happy or sad. I often get to the brink of tears, but actual crying just doesn't happen. I wouldn't say that it's upbringing either since my bf is from a macho Spanish family with 3 brothers and yet is super sensitive and emotional . More genetics probably. :/

Anyways, I'm gonna take "cry" as "gives you goosebumps/takes you to the brink of tears" so I can participate and post this:



@5:30 mark. Marching bands just make me deliriously happy for some reason.

Yea I think in the sense of cry, we really mean the feeling of it.

That's an awesome song you posted. In a way, reminds me a little of these guys performance:

Thanks, now I'm investigating Nils Frahm's stuff...dope shit.

Maybe a bit cliche, but still gets me every time...

Gave this one a listen. In literally just over the 1 minute mark, I had to wipe my eyes dry with my sleeves. I can't handle this kind of thing at all.

This must be an old thread; it's a discussion between Freebase and adidasss :confused:

^ Yes, fabulous track, which has never made me cry though. Instead, I'm always dazzled by the way, in a few lines, the lyrics conjure up such desolation.

^ Total genuine LOL at this! Thank you for cheering up my morning. :thumb:

These days, I do most of my listening in my car, and to use a phrase that is in the album itself, I have sometimes been "conquered in a car seat" by bits of the Astral Weeks album. Another song that gets to me:-

I had no idea. It's incredible that although he and Freddie Mercury were ravaged by AIDS their vocals remained pristine.

For the longest I couldn't cry for ****, then I watched the series finale of Dexter and just bawled for like an hour. After that the faucet was open and I cry way, way easier and at random times. I've cried over Anthrax. Not even a rare emotional Anthrax song. I cried at this song. Twice. On different days. This song and Judge Dredd are just so cool that it moves me to tears. There have been times at work when I was just thinking about it and had to "man up" so everyone at work wouldn't ask me what was wrong and I'd have to say it was about thrash metal and comic books. So you never know when or if you'll become capable of feeling feelings.




But this is the **** that wrecks my ****. I'll sometimes throw this on repeat and after two or three plays I'm a wreck.

Kinda in the same vein as that Dolly Parton song

^^ Amaaaazing song.

Not at all lame. His ode to Mt. Dew one gets me every time.



Poor guy.

The recording is a bit underwhelming but I saw a great live performance of this that hit me hard

Nick Norton - Monet in Greyscale

nah. "Seaweed" really hits me but it wouldnt be the same just reading it

also this song gets to me



this whole album is beautiful but in particular the second half of the first track

I've always been a sucker for Peter Gabriel. The piano version of 'Here Comes the Flood' from Shaking the Tree hit me hard the first few times I heard it. It's now more of a melancholic friend to me than anything else, but that's not to say it doesn't still stir me.

that was Sade a lot of times and Adel during braking up :(

I mostly brake going down.

I don't know why but certain happy songs get to me
