Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: MyGlove on March 14, 2012, 07:59:47 AM i don't think so. not "cry". but there are songs that make me really emotional when listening to them in the right context. god only knows for example.

Otherwise, "Fawn" by Tom Waits and "Happy, The End" by Innocence Mission illicit a pretty strong emotional response from me. Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: SMiLE Brian on March 14, 2012, 08:12:24 AM "Wrinkles" makes me cry. :'(

What's the deal with that song? Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: Rocker on March 14, 2012, 10:00:08 AM This one is the last song yet that made me cry:

The message is so meaningful. God Only Knows gets me too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlwXfcFMO3w&feature=related Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: hypehat on March 15, 2012, 06:36:15 PM I rarely cry to music - but Isaac Hayes singing When Something Is Wrong With My Baby alone at a piano got me the other day. Good god.
Other contenders include seeing Spiritualized live for the first time, Caroline, No and the last act of La Boheme. Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again on March 15, 2012, 06:39:36 PM Hey Jude, for some reason

Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: Jay on March 16, 2012, 02:50:11 AM I probably shouldn't admit this, but Beautiful Boy by John Lennon. My reason is more personal though. That song always choked me up, but the first time I listened to it after my dad died...it damn near killed me.

Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: BiNNS on May 10, 2012, 09:59:07 AM Certain Sigur Ros songs. I don't know what it is, it just hits me in an emotional way that no other music does. It's obviously not the lyrics. Ha.
Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: onkster on May 10, 2012, 10:11:50 AM "Take It With Me" - Tom Waits Still chokes me up.
"Smiling in the Sky" - The Merrymakers. But I was listening without medication, maybe that helped it along! And just yesterday, my ex-wife sent me "The World Spins Madly On", by...The Weepies! Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: Ron on May 10, 2012, 11:09:24 AM Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Never... there HAVE however been threads on message boards that made me cry.... Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: Roger Ryan on May 10, 2012, 11:11:21 AM Dylan's recitation of his poem "Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie".
Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: I. Spaceman on May 10, 2012, 02:18:48 PM Dylan's recitation of his poem "Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie". That one has done it for me as well. Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: Paulos on May 10, 2012, 02:35:05 PM Not strictly a song but as a piece of music 'The Last Post' gets me every time I hear it, it's just so haunting and poignant I can't help but shed a tear. As for The Beach Boys 'God Only Knows' has got me a few times and I remember tripping my balls off on shrooms and crying tears pure of joy whilst listening to 'Wouldn't It Be Nice' especially the during the triple-bellow shake on the second bridge.
I'm with Luther and Ian, anyone who hasn't been moved to tears by music has a part of their being missing. Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: I. Spaceman on May 10, 2012, 03:56:54 PM Sometimes it has nothing to do with sadness, just pure joy. Fingertips Part 2 by Stevie Wonder is an example. So much youth, vibrancy, soul, life pouring out through one 13-year-old kid.

Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: onkster on May 10, 2012, 04:22:59 PM I sent a jazz musician friend of mine a live recording of "Chet Baker's Unsung Swan Song" by David Wilcox, and he was weeping from it.
That version is pretty good (the KCRW one), and kd lang's version is too. Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: hypehat on May 10, 2012, 05:30:12 PM Songs don't tend to do it because, being a hardened shell of a man, I need prolonged exposure to music to make me cry. Three minutes isn't really enough. I can catch myself because the song finishes, y'know?
But, La Boheme by Puccini always ruins me. I've seen it twice and I was in an absolute state afterwards. Which never really happens. The only 'pop' song that can do it is Can't Help Falling In Love With You. Sung by nearly anyone. I'm also set off by the way Spiritualized use it in Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBwZP5iaNmY Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: Rob Dean on May 10, 2012, 05:33:59 PM God Only Knows always tugs at the heartstrings ( as does Everybody Hurts by REM ), but I also remember very well hearing of the death of Dennis in the early morning went to work and then back for lunch and vividly recall Radio 1 reporting the news of Dennis on the 1pm news and straight after they played Lady Lynda and that intro sent me into tears , and because of that memory still brings a lump in the throat.
Not me , but the first time I played Disney Girls to an old girlfriend she burst into tears she was so moved by the innocence of the lyrics / melody etc. and really reminded her of how her life was so much more simple when she was younger - It rapidly became her favourite song of all time Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: guitarfool2002 on May 13, 2012, 04:58:40 PM I have one above all others but I can't say it, it's still too personal and I hope I get over it enough to open up to the song again.
A few specifics otherwise: Hearing All You Need Is Love on the car radio, Wednesday Sept. 12, 2001, while driving to work on the same route at the exact same time at the same spot on the road as "The Beatles Breakfast Block" played in the car the day before...but the previous morning gave absolutely no indication of how everything would change within an hour of my driving to work that Tuesday. It was any other sunny day on Tuesday listening to the Beatles on the drive, but on Wednesday hearing All You Need Is Love made me fall apart as I was driving. That was the first time the weight of it came crashing in for me, and The Beatles triggered it. Hearing "In Blue Hawaii" for the first time on those dinky preview Smile mp3 tracks, I just lost it, it was so beautiful and felt like something great had just happened - can't explain other than that. Skeeter Davis' "The End Of The World". Joe Jackson's "Steppin' Out" makes me think of things I haven't yet done, and keeps things hopeful at the same time. This one lyric near the end: "We are young but getting old before our time. We'll leave the T.V. and the radio behind. Don't you wonder what we'll find? Steppin' out tonight." That is an absolutely brilliant line and a very moving sentiment, and it hits me right in the heart and mind every time I hear it. It's one that you so very much want to heed the call and head out and do something, then reality sets in. But there is always hope. :) Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: I.

I once had a very memorable experience set to that song.

Title: Re: Has there ever been a song that made you cry? :') Post by: onkster on May 14, 2012, 07:40:10 PM Funny, I always thought Radiohead copped a lot off of "The Air That I Breathe". Most notably in "Creep".
