Only one song, and only if I've been drinking a little.

 

Nutshell- Alice In Chains

 

First show in 3 years, first song, just for the introduction and the reception Layne gets.

 

Even though his voice is shot it's still a powerful song.

 

Nutshell

I'll go along with many of the ones mentioned so far, particularly "Oklahoma," and the video more especially than just the song.

 

I have an Allison Kraus CD full of songs about breaking up, and I get teary from the cumulative effect, not so much from any one song.

 

I think the Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice" is rather poignant when you think about a gay context while you listen. Try it some time.

 

The thread reminds me of the old joke about what happens when you listen to a country song backward.

[Zeoanne]

Okay... can somebody please tell me what on earth posessed me to start listening to the songs you've posted on here

 

And why do you think I have avoided listening to any of them? I'm depressed enough as it is...

Depression is my faithful companion...my lover...my truth...my quiet days...my sleepless nights...

I Wish You Love- Cover by Rachel Yamagata.

There are really only two songs that make me cry, one of them goes all the way back to my childhood.

 

"Walk a little Straighter" By Billy Currington. It talks about a boy growing up with a distant, alchoholic father. My dad wasn't/isn't an alchy but I can relate to the feeling of gorwing up wondering if my dad ever really loved me.

 

"How can I help you to say goodbye" By Patty Loveless. The song deals with a women having to say goodbye to various important people in her life, her best friend as a child, her divorce from her husband and ultimatly the death of her mother.

 

I can't listen to eaother of these songs without just completely breaking down.

 

Maybe my cousin is right, i do need therapy lol.

[abbillion]

Well I don't cry, but a song that brings me damn close is I still haven't found what I'm looking for by U2.

[Librent]

In The Arms Of The Angel - Sarah McClaughklin for sure ( i totally screwed up on the last name)

Secret Life - Thriving Ivory i won't really cry but i get kinda teary eyed if you think of it from a gay perscective and my 1 co worker at camp who was so gay friendly with me would tell me that was my song cuz of this part "You dance like a queen inspite of all the things you never wanted when your left out in the cold"

 

lol and this 1 might be lame but Never Think - Robert Pattinson(yes the guy from Twilight) i get really sad and the song really rocks. He has an amazing singing voice.

[runner246]

Ludovico Einaudi - Divenire

a lot of his songs are really sad, but they all have good endings. he is a GREAT composer.

[Neon]

For me, there are two songs. Both are performed by the " Royal Scots Dragoon Guards"

 

1. Last Of The Mohicans

 

2. Highland Cathedral

 

These songs are just amazing.

For those of yall with kids...this will do the trick

 

Let Them Be Little - Billy Dean

 

 

Strangely enough, I bawled like a little girl the first time I watched it...

[Former Member]

Hallelujah by Rufus Wainright......woah! i feel all exposed! (if you think you don't know the song, I swear you do. Watch the first Shrek movie again and listen intently to the song that plays when Shrek and Fiona break up!) It's my ultimate favorite. Just love it. (Still need to learn how to play it on my guitar) ACCURATE tabs anyone?

[WatchPatRun]

So I'm probably late posting in this thread, but this is totally my element. I love music, especially sad music so here are my top picks:

 

 

 

Sarah McLachlan & Pink - Angel Live

 

Hanson - Yearbook

 

 

 

I could really go on forever...

[NightOwl88]

I was flicking through the radio the other day and I found another song I could add to my list. "When I get where I'm going" Is a duet of Brad paisley and Dolly Parton, that makes me cry, but in a good way.

[Kev de Cauchery]

A new one for me too.

 

Sunshine Song by Jason Mraz.

[Cheyenne]

Ok, I don't know if this has been said or not, but this is mine:

 

Cinderella by Steve Curtis Chapman.

[Cia]

For me it's two songs...

 

 

This song was played at the funeral of a friend when I was a kid...so association makes me cry more than the lyrics, though for me they are profound.

 

We Shall be Free by Garth Brooks

 

We shall be free

We shall be free

So have a little faith

And hold out

We shall be free

 

This ain't comin' from no prophet

Just an ordinary man

When I close my eyes I see

The way this world shall be

When we all walk hand in hand

When the last child cries for a crust of bread

When the last man dies for just words that he said

When there's shelter over the poorest head

Then we shall be free

 

When the last thing we notice is the color of skin

And the first thing we look for is the beauty within

When the skies and the oceans are clean again

Then we shall be free, We shall be free, We shall be free

So, have a little faith and hold out

'Cause we shall be free

 

When we're free to love anyone we choose

When this world's big enough for all different views

When we're all free to worship

From our own kind of pew

Then we shall be free

We shall be free, We shall be free, We shall be free

Stand straight, walk proud

'Cause we shall be free

 

And when money talks for the very last time

And nobody walks a step behind

When there's only one race and that's mankind

Then we shall be free, We shall be free, We shall be free

Together, Forever

We shall be free, We shall be free, We shall be free

 

Stand straight, pour out

We shall be free, We shall be free, We shall be free

Together, Forever

We shall be free
