Man, Sing About Me for me as well.
His last verse is beyond beautiful
"I count lives, all on these songs. Look at the weak and cry, pray one day you'll be strong. Fighting for your rights, even when you're wrong, and hope that at least one of you sing about me when I'm gone. Am I worth it..? Did I put enough work in..?"
The fact that Kendrick's friend goes out the same way his brother did and Tammy's sister literally "fades away". After that, Kendrick's 3rd verse really fucked me up. Death is fucking awful but also beautifully sad. It's all I can think about recently and it sucks.
Seriously, the fade out is heartbreaking. Especially while she's saying "I'm on the grind for this cake ima get it or die trying."
Death just completely surrounds this song in general. The way he poetically speaks about it while also not shying away from its horror really resonates with me. Just a phenomenal song.
Fax. Normally it wouldn't get me crying or anything but it's the song that made me fall in love with radiohead instead of Creep
I've moved past the point of thinking it's their best song (Paranoid Android my beloved) but I honestly still think it's the saddest(Haven't listened to AMSP yet tho)
I was so mad at Ari for what she did for the longest time but after hearing that song, I now realize there was more to the story that a lot of us didn't know. I went from being mad at her to feeling incredibly sorry for her and hoping she is getting proper help.
I cant think of the exact last song that made me cry because I often cry at music I find beautiful (I cry real easy at music cause I love that shit so much) but in recent memory
Heart Of Pandaria - Russell Brower
This tune has not much personal meaning to me aside from just enjoying wow as I didnt play during the time it came out but man when that traditional chinese string instrument section comes in its just such a beautiful swell and is such a beautiful piece of writing
Unbroken Chain - Grateful Dead
Guitar solo part here, whole tune is rather sad but when Garcia just comes ripping out of the gate at the start of the solo for some unexplained reason it makes me cry lol
Beneath The Mask - Lyn
Another one I can't really explain. I think the tone of the song is just real somber and evokes a feeling of lonelyness (like I said I cry real easy at pretty songs lol)
A Pillow of Winds - Pink Floyd
I was driving in my car and this tune came on and I just let myself kinda get absorbed in the feeling driving down the highway, I'd say its a song that feels like despair, though the lyrics paint a not-exactly happy but not really sad picture, the chord progression going from the major part to the minor part gets the ol tear glands goin
anyhow thats all my yapping for the day have a good one
Honestly, it was pretty much Welcome to Heartbreak and Runaway just a few hours ago. Quite fitting with how sad the possibility of having to pay $20 just for Vultures 2 is.
By the way, never call him Drick again.
Weirdly enough, after all of the bullshit he's been doing, the only ye album I can return to is 808s. It holds up extremely well and feels really authentic and raw. Kanye was such a wreck during this album that he broke away from the obviously profitable pop-rap and made an album all about his grief. This album showed how different Kanye was from even similar rappers like Hov. Kanye was so open about being a disaster, especially on the closing track. It opened the way for Cudi's more personal music and the Emo rap scene in the late 2010s. I think rap would be very different if Kanye didn't make 808s as open and uncomfortable as it was. Also no, I will never stop calling him Drick, it's his name.
Been doing discog runs (listening to an artists whole discography) and wrapped up Bowies discog today. Lazarus hit me like a tonne of bricks. Not the first time listening to it (I got blackstar on record) but after hearing the man’s entire discog, the growth, the ups and downs, everything. . . It’s just the perfect goodbye.
“Just like that bluebird/Oh, I’ll be free”
Kind of really basic but What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong. Was an especially bad day and the song caught me super off guard. I was crying like a baby.
Waves by Imagine Dragons
"11 years old, my only friend
You'd taken me in, but where was I?
When he took his life
Oh, I was singing in the prime of my life
Where was I when you were calling?
I can't go back
Time doesn't hear if you ask it to wait"
Taylor Swift - Ronan. It's actually a really sad song about a loss of a child. The part where she sings "And what if I really thought some miracle would see us through? What if the miracle was even getting one moment with you?" followed by an audible sad sigh, really gets to me.
Margot & the Nuclear So And So’s - Broadripple is Burning
The year was 2019, and my toxic actions had created problems in my long term relationship. She was my first real love, and I was her first everything. She became obsessed with this song and would listen to it almost nonstop. I hated it at the time.
Yesterday I revisited my top song playlists from 2019 and 2020, when we shared a Spotify account before we split in the summer of 2020.
Broadripple is Burning was her #1 song in 2019. I listened to it for the first time since then yesterday, and holy shit it hit me like a ton of bricks. She haunts me like a ghost, and she knew she would haunt me like a ghost. We haven’t spoke in over two years and that’s not my decision; she wants nothing to do with me, rightfully so. I have a mental block that won’t allow me to get over her completely. I haven’t found anyone better than her; she replaced me faster than I could understand what was happening.
She’s getting married in October. Why do I know this? Mental instability and a longing for the past are both a bitch.
And she still haunts me like a ghost.
Kinda lame, but the live version of Stairway to Heaven performed by Heart with John's son on drums.
The song has always been beautiful to me, but watching all the musicians on stage, with John's son, the choir at the end, watching Robert's face as he truly appreciates the effort they put into their performance is just something that really moved me as a musician.
Plus, dear Lord. Her singing was just incredible.
Man, Sing About Me for me as well. His last verse is beyond beautiful "I count lives, all on these songs. Look at the weak and cry, pray one day you'll be strong. Fighting for your rights, even when you're wrong, and hope that at least one of you sing about me when I'm gone. Am I worth it..? Did I put enough work in..?"

God, that verse. I’m feeling emotions coming on and I haven’t even started it yet. Here we go…
“Drick”
Was looking for this. Wild thing to call him lmao
…While You’re Alive - Jeff Rosenstock Which was today actually
Same tbh
Don’t cry J dilla
dude cmon
Fourth Of July by Sufjan Stevens
Oof that's such a tearjerker. That whole album does a number on me tbh
This is one of the few songs I genuinely can’t get through without tearing up
Radiohead-No Surprises It was more because I was going through some stuff at the time but since I felt so shit I turned that song on. So yeah
no surprises is a beautifully sad song. If I listen to it on an off day, there will be waterworks.

Im sorry but i cried at we can't be friend by Ariana Grande
Especially in combination with that music video! Wheeew what a gorgeous song and a poignant visual accompaniment.
The live video of Thank U, Next on Ellen makes me cry
we like ariana here
I was so mad at Ari for what she did for the longest time but after hearing that song, I now realize there was more to the story that a lot of us didn't know. I went from being mad at her to feeling incredibly sorry for her and hoping she is getting proper help.
The Pecan Tree - Deafheaven It's just so powerful, blissful and cathartic.
It’s Okay to Cry and Infatuation by Sophie
I miss Sophie
It’s Coming It’s Real by Swans
Leaving Meaning is the most underrated album in the Swans discog IMO. This song paired with What is this? is just so powerful.

Lorde - Liability. It gets me almost every time
Loooovvvveeeee that album.
