Drugs Don't Work by the Verve.
With You from the musical of Ghost. The first time I heard it was on a YouTube lyric video, I was reading the lyrics and I just ended up ugly sobbing. |

"Hello" by Lionel Richie.
It was the favourite song of a female work colleague at my very first job.
She was killed by her jealous b/f after a row in the Staff House. Even after 45 yrs, if I hear it played, it brings back awful memories of that fateful night! |

Music could only make me cry if I were emotionally distressed enough before I heard it.
Even the saddest songs are still beautiful to hear and can put a smile on my face when I'm not being tramautised by something else going on in life. |

Songs that tug at our emotions in that manner are usually associated with difficult or trying times in out life.
Songs won't make me cry but will leave me in a somber mood...
Piano in the dark by Brenda Russel is a perfect example. |

Never used to have one but now it's Rose tattoo by the Dropkick Murphys. It was played at my brothers funeral last year. They are going to dedicate it to him when my other brother goes to their Brixton concert in April |

Mike and the Mechanics - Living years. Reminds me of my late father. I miss that guy and I've so much to thank him for. So much I didn't tell him and really should have done.
The crusaders - Street life. I'm not saying why.
Rose Royce - Love don't live here anymore.

Chris and Stevie, by Damien Dempsey.
A song about suicide, starts off by telling their stories and why they did what they did, it then ends with his own feelings about missing them and wishes they had the strength to talk to him. It's a powerful song that I can't listen to without getting emotional each time. Damien if you've never heard of him is a big tough Dubliner, so to hear him sing about loss and the pain in his voice especially crescendoing at the end, turns me into an emotional wreck.
It doesn't help that suicide has blighted my life from my own feelings at times and people I have known who have succumbed to their own despair with the ultimate way of trying to find peace.
Songs do have the power to inspire and reflect, this song often helps me have a good cry just when I need it. |

Simon & Garfunkel - El Condor Pasa
As it reminds me of my favourite uncle who died suddenly when i was 9.
Art Garfunkel - Bright Eyes
I just can’t listen to this song, at all. I have to change stations if it comes on.
Odyssey - if you’re looking for a way out
Saddest love song ever, but lovely. Makes me sniffle. |

Only one song has the power to do this to me, yet it does without fail. As it’s a song not played that often nor one I ever choose to listen to it so happens unexpectedly with a 100% success rate of tears regardless of circumstances. It was my best friends funeral song 10 years ago and I’ve probably heard it 4 times since. If I never hear it again I wouldn’t miss it.
Bette Midler - Wind Beneath My Wings |

"Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix" from Samson & Delilah (Saint-Saens). When my daughter sings it, and reaches the crescendo at the end, I'm a shoulder-heaving, teary mess. |

Doesn't make me cry, but one of the saddest stories I've heard is what happened around the worldwide hit song, 'Without You'.
I don't think there was any foul play by Harry Nilsson, but to know that the original creators and composers of this song took their lives because of it is heartbreaking.

Sacrifice by Elton John. It was always playing in the special care baby unit my son was in. I'd feed him humming that song.
After he died that song was like a physical blow when I heard it. To this day I can't hear it without feeling a sense of loss.
The first time ever I saw your face, is another song that makes me sad. At the end of my wedding video there was a montage of stills taken throughout the day of my husband looking adoringly at me whilst Roberta is singing. We looked so happy and in love...now we don't even talk to each other. |

The Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics. This song makes me cry . Was in the car on Thursday and had to stop.
I don't see my family . My dad died 13 years ago . He was the only one I saw . He was in a care home . I use to go when the rest of the family were not there.
I miss my dad. |

There are many songs that bring me close to tears. My life is deeply entwined in music and it can touch me in ways beyond belief.

"I hate bagpipe music but amazing grace always makes me cold and think of Mum and Dad"
We had a piper at Mum's funeral, we carried her in to him playing The Day thou gavest. Pipes always get me. |

"The opening vocal section of "Starless" by King Crimson. It's the most heart rending description of how depression feels.
*goes to consult my friend YouTube "
There's a cover of it by the Unthanks as well, which is probably even better than the original. I feel it down my spine every time i hear it. |

na sopkakh Man'chzhurii
On the Hills of Manchuria
Especially if you understand the Russian words (although there are about half a dozen sets of words for this melody which was composed in 1906 by Ilya Shatrov).

Mate.. I'm also shedding a tear thinking about that. My dad is still alive and I imagine it's a song he'd love. We still sing a long with hin on his guitar, with his grandsons last summer. Which makes me think about how I'd feel hearing it after what you said.

Eric Clapton - Tears in heaven. If you know the story behind it, as a father myself, the thought of losing a child like that is one of the saddest things I can think of, and it makes me teary every time. D. |
