Man, she can get me going with alot of her songs.

Most songs could probably make me cry if I was in a certain frame of mind for it. Most songs probably HAVE made me cry...but after a while if you've listened to a song enough, the sadness kind of numbs down.

Songs that have made me cry in the past (atleast ones I can think of) -

Kate Bush - This Woman's Work
Portishead - It's A Fire
Sinead O Conner - Nothing Compares 2 U
U2 - With or Without You

Blargh, my mind's drawing a blank, but there have been ALOT of songs that have made me cry. I love crying to stuff to make me feel better. It's a woman thing I think. We love musical catharsis.

I can't say that there are any songs that MAKE me cry. I'm not huge into doing things against my will, even involuntary responses like that. Even if it's voluntary, I'm not really a crying sorta person. Call it a guy thing.

But some songs that have huge sadness that I've attached to them include:

Walking By -- Something Corporate
One More Day -- Socialburn
Here Without You -- 3 Doors Down
Flavor of the Weeek -- American Hi Fi
Here's to the Night -- Eve 6
Troubled Times -- Fountains of Wayne

I bet there's more, but I could only manage two off the top of my head, and then didn't feel like looking through my entire library to find some songs like that.

Gee whiz, I haven't cried in years, and to a song? I doubt I've ever. I was a bit of a crybaby as a child, although I think the phrase "teary eyed mother fucker" fits the bill a little better. I would burst into tears over the most minute issues, hell I recall flying into a fit of sobs and tears when a girl asked me if I was crying. Nowadays I mask my emotions beneath a shiny veneer of testosterone fueled machismo and keep my tears locked firmly inside to crystalize within my heart.

If a song were to make me cry it would most likely be due to the use of it to punctuate a somber occasion. Using a previous example I'm sure Oh Danny Boy at a funeral would choke me up depending on how close I was to the departed. Also, I recall getting slightly teared up during the end of Gladiator, I'm sure that wouldn't have happened if Walking on Sunshine had been playing as backround music.

Stone Sour - Bother
Edguy - Scarlet Rose
Hammerfall - Always Will Be.
Grave Digger - Silence
Kiss - Forever (kinda hopefull though, yet sad at the same time.)
Metallica - The unforgiven I and II (not a real metallica fan, yet those are amazing songs.)
Black Sabbath - Die young
Guns 'n' Roses - Don't Cry
Ensiferum - Little Dreamer (More depressing and anger, not really sadness.)
Ensiferum - Old Man (follow up of Little Dreamer)
Helloween - If I could fly.

Not that I cry to all of these songs ofcourse, yet they do bring up a sad emotion. Especially the first 3.

Uhm...unfortunately I haven't cried whilst listening to any song...

Though my throat closes up a might whenever I listen to "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" by AeroSmith...I sung that song on a beach in northern Italy with friends, near this tiny, cute little village...the bright stars were the only lights we could see by, and we all huddled toghether, 'cause it was a rock beach, and I was the only person who had remembered to bring a towel along to sit on...good times. I hope to do it again this Summer.


Pure awesomeness. You must read it.

Whew. I just nearly shed a tear or two while listening to Girlfriend -- Eve 6. Great song, my favorite lyric is:

Your really gone, girlfriend.
The dryer's on, Amen.
And I'm alone, for the first time.
(I walk away now [x2])
You left a sock, girlfriend.
Wheres the pair? Broken.

Are you aware that I'm missing you.
(I walk away now [x2])

Not many songs make me just cry. If i watch a TV show which is quite sad and it is also put to some music, depeding on the script of the show it could make me cry.

Whoa sorry about your brother, my brother said he liked the song "Staring down the barrel of a 45" after that was the last song that he and his frinds listened to before evacuating the car the over heated car then it blew up. My brother's friends make me worry about him, they drive like freakin maniacs! One of his friends drives crazy and has wrecked several cars but his family is rich and just buys him new ones.


If everyone thinks you are the devil... Why not play it up?

Ironically, The song "Stan" by Eminem, gets me to shed a tear; when I hear it........ Mostly because Dido's voice is so hauntingly beautiful.

Jeff Buckley songs all the way for songs that would make me cry. Song's such as

Jeff Buckley-Lover, you should've come over
Jeff Buckley-Mojo Pin
Jeff Buckley-Jewel Box
Jeff Buckley-Satisfied Mind
Jeff Buckley-Everyone here wants you

That's all the Jeff Buckley songs that could make me emote tears of saddess and hauting beauty.

Also Queen- No One But You
Alice in Chains-Nutshell
Matthew Good Band-Running for home
Heather Nova-Valley of Sound(jeff buckley tribute)

That is basically all the songs that can make me cry. Both versions of Hurt can put me into the mood aswell.

REALLY 4 to 5000th

Then you'll want to check out Dido's song "Thank You" which is where the lyrics come from. :)

Sorry, Maus, it's awfully hard for me to cry. I can't think of any at the moment, but I'll keep you posted if I can think of any.

awake-godsmack- turn your back on me and say you're always happy, you dumb,medicated rather than healed bitch
best of you-foo fighters- someone dear to me was gotten the best of
californication- red hot chili peppers-false hope consumed yet another dear person
dust in the wind-kansas-how do you not?
everything you want-vertical horizon- she was looking for someone to both put her together and throw her away
hey jealosy-gin blossoms- if I haden't blown the whole thing years ago I might not be the loner steriotype you all know and love
hurt-johnny cash-his voice was just filled with what life had done. I can't dishonor him by saying I've gone through anything comperable
I miss you-blink 182-I've heard a lot of voices of treason
love hurts-nazereth-well it does
right here-staind-too much life spent on a girl who never appeciated it. You answer romance with romance or you dont. that isn't going against women. The princible holds in situations where both or neither are women
the show must go on-queen-He was dieing when he sang that. it's his song

switching to actual playlists so these won't be in alphebetical order

wonderwall-oasis-Yeah, she didn't save me
off the hook-bare naked ladies-it all makes sence with each offence she wants to beleive him. But you'd think some of the attraction would have evaporated when she came to terms with her father
sour girl- stone temple pilots-He was so happy and "lighthearted" on the day he swooped in on the vulnerable girl
come as you are-nirvana-I do not want to come as a friend


I have nothing against people who can use pot and lead a productive life. It's these sanctimonius hippies that make me wish I was a riot cop in the 60's
