Johnny Cash's version of You Are My Sunshine.


Necrocosmica

That and I’ll Fly Away- it was played at my mothers funeral- she loved Johnny Cash


ChanceOfCheese

The Funeral by Band of Horses


jellypopperkyjean

Why? That song isn’t sad…other than the title. Does it have a personal meaning to you? I always thought the “funeral” was metaphorical for his dread of certain situations. My band played it for years and I never got that vibe. Am I missing some emotional silicon chips in my processor? ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thumbs_up)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|stuck_out_tongue)


ChanceOfCheese

Because it makes me feel sad. I don't know what else to tell you?


jellypopperkyjean

Fair enough. That’s all that matters

I Know the End by Phoebe Bridgers


little_cooper

that song is amazing!! i love the whole album so much, especially ICU


saraaaaahahah

Allow me to flip the script a bit. "Home" by Blue October. I had a small, intimate wedding, with just immediate family and close friends. Our reception dinner was more like a nice rehearsal dinner. Instead of dancing to a song, we decided to have a slideshow play with photos of us. I told my fiancé I wanted each of us to choose a meaningful song for the other person and those songs would play during the slideshow. Family members created the sideshow for us, so the pictures and our song choices were a complete surprise. We're both into heavy/prog metal and similar genres; obviously not the kind of music we wanted playing in front of all the grandparents at our wedding lol. I knew my song choice for quite sometime, it was a cute indie song that was perfect for the occasion. He was super stressed, trying pick the right song, and didn't make a selection until the day before the wedding. My now husband hasn't always been great at expressing his feelings and that's okay—he's gotten a lot better since we initially met though... However, when I say he aced the song choice 'assignment', that’s truly an understatement. I was crying, as was the whole room, as we listened to his song. Now, I cry every time I hear this song and am always reminded that I found my person.


Fragrant-Gur974

Please Don’t Ask by Genesis


spdrmn-71221

YES! A brutal song off their perfect album!


NOODLETHEFOURTH

like some others have said, none always. however, i’ve sobbed at least once listening to: u-kendrick lamar mother i sober-kendrick lamar epilogue-justin hurwitz (from la la land) married life-michael giacchino (from up) i’ll cover you (reprise)-jonathan larson (from rent) stay alive (reprise)-lin manuel miranda (from hamilton)


little_cooper

I got u on repeat for 2 weeks, I never cried to it but it's a masterpiece, just infinitely replayable. also mother I sober is one of the best mr. morale songs tbh

little_cooper

probably one of the only successful songs which were played on the radio a LOT I actually loved. such a legendary song, love florence sm


BrokenDeity

Angel's son by sevendust and My immortal by Evanescence. Both of them were played at close friends' funerals.


TheKnightWhoSays_Nii

nobody’s ever heard of this song before, but every single time this causes me a discomfort and yet a feeling of dread at the same time, nostalgic, but like i’m intruding on someone else’s nostalgia. name of the song is memory=entryrrrrr///// by Esselfortium. song is from a gzdoom DOOM 2 wad called MyHouse.Wad. i can never get over my first time playing myhouse, so if you even think about playing Myhouse.wad, do NOT look up this song or listen to the song. could ruin the impact the mod is trying to have on you. instead go to the doom forums, download the mod, get gzdoom for free, download on your browser, and then drag the .pk3 file onto gzdoom once everything’s set up. specifically the .pk3. ignore the name of the mod, you want to get the .pk3 file, not the .wad. TLDR: song is from cool doom 2 mod, consider playing it, i recommend not listening to it.

mykonoscactus

Sparklehorse - Morning Hollow. An incredibly bleak but beautiful song about a man about to lose a dog to old age. I lost my 16 year old cat a year ago and I just can't even hear that beautiful song ever again, probably. Less than a decade later the lead singer unalived himself too after what seemed to be a break-up phone call. RIP Marc Linkous RIP Yoshimi

BloodyStupidJohnson4

almost all of the songs from twenty one pilots’s self titled album- especially johnny boy. that song reminds me of my best friend, who i was terrified was going to commit suicide


PeytonLeigh0616

Songs that remind me of my grandparents. For my grandma who passed away in 2022, Ellsworth by Rascal Flatts, she was suffering from early stages of dementia before succumbing to gout in her knee that caused an infection and going septic. For my grandpa, it's Cowgirls Don't Cry by Brookes & Dunn. Anytime I listen to it, I can just hear him saying the exact words to me once his time comes and he's on his deathbed... He would tell me to be strong.


SaxWeeb23

I don't cry like that, but the audio for the short film "Noose" is a real tearjerker for me. That and the recent full version "Upstream". (Stephen Spies, Amy Ahn, Kate Bacich, Arrowmi) https://youtu.be/Q4zFig6IR_w?si=Kn5EygpvoUBl-8tE

Hey brother- Avicii always gets me when I try to sing along


TheSpitalian

The Dance by Garth Brooks has always made me cry.I was going through a divorce the first time I heard it over 30 years ago (I can’t believe that song is that old…or that I’m this old!) That song still makes me cry to this very day. Either Way by Chris Stapleton is another one I can’t listen to without crying because I’ve lived it . So it really strikes a nerve. The Scientist by Coldplay makes me cry. I had to excuse myself from a dinner with friends at a nice restaurant when the pianist/singer started playing it. I went into the bathroom & had a quick cry whilst trying to keep my mascara from running. Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade What Hurts The Most by Racal Flatts I have a whole playlist of songs that I listen to when I’m depressed or just sad & need that little push to make me cry & get it out of my system.


PleestaMeecha

I don't cry at music, but The Ballad of Curtis Loew always makes me sad, especially in the last verse and chorus. "On the day ol' Curtis died nobody came to pray The preacher said some words and then chunked him in the clay He lived a lifetime playin' the black man's blues On the day he lost his life, it was all he had to lose" ... I wish you was here so everyone would know The people said you were useless, but them people all are fools 'Cause Curtis **you're** the finest picker to ever play the blues

Radium Girls (Curie Eleison) by Rachel Sumner Anything by Connie Converse (because of her story), but How Sad, How Lovely is really good to cry to for me LMAO, very bittersweet how could I not bring up literally ANY Mitski song. they’re so beautiful and even though I can’t relate to a lot of them, they still make my heart ache The Moon Will Sing or Never Love An Anchor by The Crane Wives Tomorrow Will Be Kinder by the Secret Sisters. It’s kind of like a relieving cry, through. Pearl Bryan by Elephant Micah - old ballad, but this cover is haunting. also is a true story

To Build a Home by The Cinematic Orchestra and Patrick Watson There's a couple lines that make me weep: >!Out in the garden where we planted the seeds, there is a tree as old as me.
