What tune/s are the ones that allow you to lean right into the sad, the sweet melancholy, the heart-break, the pull of yearning?
One of mine just came on shuffle: This Woman’s Work - Kate Bush.
Is it bad to enjoy letting yourself fall into pain for a few minutes or so? |

There's a few but the main one's would be:
Put Your Arms Around Me and So In Love With You : both by Texas (Yup unrequited love sucks so those hit home on a personal level)
Everybody Hurts by REM. Again for personal reasons that one always floors me. |

I got a Beth Orton - Trailer park thing going on this evening listening to 'whenever' at the moment.
Feeling some bittersweet sadness for a friend, caught in a loss limbo.
But yeah I'm one for feeling what I feel. Not sure that's always enjoyment, but I take your meaning. |

"I'll be missing you - Faith Evans and Puff Daddy
Oh this! I heard it again for the first time in years yesterday... and cried."
It sets off a montage in my head, and by the 2nd chorus I'm tearing up. |

Yesterday. The Beatles.
It was my dad's favourite song and he would sing it so beautifully
Even just thinking about it has me close to tears.
I struggle to listen to it even though he's been gone 12 years |

For me a song from 1981 by Teardrop Explodes called Reward. 13/05/1981 I was 13 getting dressed for school and listening to the radio when my dad received the call from the hospital that my granddad my dad’s dad had passed away in hospital I have heard the song 2-3 times since but turn off the radio after about 30 seconds as I know I will start crying. |

My late partner and I had a few songs. But our most favourite was an old song by the drifters called save the last dance for me. Basically he was saying I could go out and do what I like but I was coming home to him..Another one on this thread that was one of our favourites was misty blue. |

"I think 4 Your Eyez Only by J Cole, Dave performing either Black or Panic attack live also are tear jerkers for me.
Black performed at The Brits. Stunning.
"
I still get emotional watching it. The online meltdowns after made it more emotional too |

""I can't make you love me" Bonnie rait
The George Michael version of this is also heartbreaking "
Just what I was gonna say.
Too many, way too many now are songs purely because they’re associated with people I’ve lost, often turned off if they come on the radio if I’m not in a position to be bawling at that time!
For me personally
Athlete - wires (similar reasons as a pp it perfectly sums up the feelings of having a poorly newborn)
Verve - the drugs don’t work (ties into health struggles I and several family members have had)
The fray - how to save a life (very near the bone for me sadly)
Johnny cash - hurt (again family history aligns to a degree)
Mike and the mechanics - nobody knows (a previous relationship that failed due to external pressures)

"Come what may - reminds me of my husband

This is pretty sentimental mainly, but it's tough one if you haven't been able to have kids. It's a fave song of my fave music critic, and I just realised recently why it effects us both so so much. (could be here or on the country thread too).
Brad Paisley - I Thought I Loved You Then

I’m the same with Marillion’s itching at straws album.
Love R&J too
Walls is a repeat-mon-stopper
Lippy Kids by Elbow is literally my mid teens, though I never perfected the simian stroll |

Me and a gun - tori amos. It’s not a tear jerker for me but huge “survivor song” …based on true events I understand too which make’s it so fecking powerful in it’s brutal honesty of not fighting back to get through an unfolding trauma alive. So heartbreaking |

Love Of My Life by Queen always gives me the feels
Also rather bizarrely, ELO’s Last Train To London reminds me of an unrequited love… I found out she was engaged to a friend of mine while listening to that one |

Oh, and while it’s not a ‘song’ as such, the hymn The Day Thou Gavest Lord Has Ended was played at my grandad’s funeral… he was the first (of many) people that I’ve lost, and I well up every time I hear it |
