What are some songs that make you cry uncontrollably?

Post Reply New Topic

Songs that make you sob nearly every time you listen to them. Maybe you don't want to, but when you here them they force you to cry and you can't help it. Here are some I turn on when I need to bring myself to tears.

Everlast-What It's Like
Jason Carroll-Alyssa Lies
Jason Derulo-Whatcha Say
Green Day-Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Hollywood Undead-Several, but My Black Dahlia is probably the saddest.
Fort Minor-Where'd You Go
Faster Pussycat-House of Pain
Eminem-Like Toy Soldiers
The Band Perry-If I Die Young. This one is my favorite, the most depressing I've ever heard.
I think I've also come dangerously close to tears from You Found Me by The Fray.
I didn't count until the end, but there are ten on here that make a great top 10 list! If there's any you would like to add, then please share.

Paranoid Android - Radiohead
True Colors - Cyndi Lauper
You Found Me - The Fray
Dark Eyes - Bob Dylan
Heart of Life - John Mayer
Society - Eddie Vedder
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
Someone Like You - Adele
Sometimes you can't make it on your own - U2
All I could do was cry - Etta James
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
Don't be Shy - Cat Stevens
Silent all these years - Tori Amos
The Water - Johnny Flynn
Goodbye England Covered in Snow - Laura Marling
The world i know - collective soul

"You Are The Pan"-John Williams
"Morningtown Ride"-The Seekers
"Stay"-Sash!

I don't actually cry to these songs, but they make me want to.
Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely
Elliot Smith - Condor Ave.
Gary Jules - Mad World

Wilco - The Lonely 1

My turn to necro a bit!

Both of these are stupidly poignant, and yes, two times out of three they're like ipecac syrup for my tear ducts.

All the FEEEEEEELS >__<

Zero [Final Fantasy Type-0]

Sorry for double posting! Here's more:
Don't Say Her Name [Fire Emblem Awakening]
The entire ending track to Pokemon Explorers of the Sky [especially Never Forget and In The Hands of Fate]
Bittersweet and Say My Name [Within Temptation]
Interrupted Moment and Historia [Radiant Historia]

I guess, I could name some that at times do so, because it does depend on the mood of course. And maybe not uncontrollably .

The Drums - Wild Geese
Radiohead- How To Disappear Completely
Radiohead- All I Need
Foals - Black Gold
Foals - Wear & Tear
These New Puritans - 5
These New Puritans - V (Island Song)
Joy Division - Decades
Douglas Dare - Whitewash
Manic Street Preachers - If You Tolerate This Then Your Children Will Be Next

I may note that in most cases it's about personal associations. Some songs just remind me all too vividly about some precious memory, moment, person, situation, whatever.

Kate Bush - Breathing

These songs do make me tear up a little or a lot:

Afterglow by Genesis
Everything I Have by Clay Aiken
Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlyle
Jesus Take the Wheel by Carrie Underwood
Imagine by John Lennon
