Songs that have made you cry.
I'm not really one to cry (far too manly, of course), but I can think of at least two songs, and they both relate to the same thing, really, now that I'm coming out of this "coma" and noticing what I lost way back when things fell apart.
My only long-term relationship ended after three years with me having a total breakdown and then getting hospitalized. I shut down emotionally for a very long time. I first noticed I was getting my feelings back when I started to well up hearing this. The lyrics fit so well it might as well have been written by my ex, who, in hindsight, was the best thing to happen to me. It corresponds so well, what with our almost constant drinking (my influence) and with us being "mischievous", etc. Even "I got your message by the way" fits, seeing as she finally acknowledged a Facebook PM I'd sent asking for forgiveness for a bunch of stuff. Anyway, she's got a partner and a baby now and I'll never see her again, but really I'm just happy that I'm finally sad about losing her, which is better than being totally numb. Anyway, I can hear it now with no tears, but there was a time when it really got to me. |

This is the second one, and it's even more appropriate, it was kind of "our song", but not in a cheesy way. Just reminds me of the "honeymoon" period where we'd just met and couldn't take our eyes off each other.

i think i've posted that video a handful of times here and there. it's from the ex-wu lyf frontman and it's a couple years old. i guess it was meant to be though because while searching for it i noticed he finally released a follow-up just a few weeks back. under the name "luh" and the song is called "unites"

yeah i was dissapointed by the lack of album upon googling him. I didn't really dig Wu Lyf but Luh seems good.

I don't know...we'll be here all day....
Let's start with some of the latest ones first: Its kinda pointless to get into the Radiohead songs because that's like half of them but i've tried to think of the one that does it the most and i think it has to be: Even if "if i could be who you wanted all the time" in FPT is pretty much certain to still get to me me everytime. This one might seem weird cause its pretty utempo and not really sad lyrics but I kinda associate it with my mental problems a lot . The chorus mainly. I remember a pretty bad nervous breakdown many years back where i couldn't stop sobbing during the "everybody's crazy" part. And im sorry to be super soppy but this is "our" songs. I mean me and my gf. And they still make me cry everytime i hear them: |

But in my opinion the song which i still believe 20 years after i first heard it is probably objectively the saddest song in the history of mankind is this french classic:
I know y'all don't know french, but the lyrics are extremely well written (btw sorry for the lame video with lyrics, it was all live otherwise) and what they are about is.... how with time everything and everyone goes away and you're left with nothing and even your good memories of youth turn to shit and your love dies and well....yeah...REAL FUN STUFF....and Leo ferre was old when he wrote this so he should know. Well im not sure he was super old but over 60 anyway. Perfect song to kill yourself to. I remember being 16 and thinking well shit if he thinks this way with his life experience..why should i even bother i already think things are shit.. |

If a song makes you feel like commiting suicide OR you are thinking about which song you are going to listen to while you commit suicide then NEWSFLASH you don't actually want to die.
Suicide is a real thing that happens to real people. It is NOT a cultural token of your romantic ideas about sadness. If you were to compile a list of french songs people committed suicide to the most? Seriously? |

jesus man. What the fuck. you need to learn how to read my tone. If you need to know cause apparently you do cause you just assumed a lot of things about me... i'm not a suicidal person nor romanticize it. So no, i dont actually want to die because it doesn't even cross my mind. Death does, a lot, but not suicide. I'm too terrified of death to kill myself. Death is actually the LAST thing i want. And yes its a real thing, i'm not making light of it either. Though it is something that there and exists, its not a taboo thing to mention, or even joke about... |

yea, I thought about which songs I had bawled my eyes out while hearing it, and well, a whole list of Radiohead songs came to mind. I couldn't decide which one to post, and thought fuck it, Radiohead duhuh. but this one is number 1 on my list, I had a pity party with this song on repeat for several months. runner up is Exit Music. and thanks to slunken and that fantastic track I have a new instant-crying track now. I love that song already. also on the crying list - PJ Harvey The River, and yes of course Buckley's Hallelujah, and um, 30 more, not counting Blues/Jazz. Porgy and Bess - you can cry throughout. (and not counting Pumpkins, I cried to SP on repeat when MCIS came out.) |

I can easily cry to almost any Radiohead track by now. I was at their 9/11 gig, and sometimes I get some sort of PTSD stuff going when hearing Radiohead.
and these lyrics, fuck you whoever started this thread. fuck me for listening to this |
