"Light In Your Eyes" - Blessid Union of Souls Have you people ever heard this song? I haven't heard it in ages, but it makes me cryyyyyyyyyyy. Look it up, and then wait for the end- the last verse and last refrain are heartwrenching.
"23" - Secret Dakota Ring Somewhere around "stayed quiet past ryan's room/candles and perfume" is when I really start to tear up.
"Mr. Brightside" - The Killers Admittedly, most of the first half of Hot Fuss makes me upset, but this is the song that gets me. If you were half-drunk, standing on the dancefloor on New Year's Eve, having the worst time of your life, and standing two feet away from the person about whom this song makes you think, wouldn't you cry, too?
"You And I Both" - Jason Mraz And it's okay if you had to go away/Just remember the telephone, well it works both ways/But if I never, ever hear it ring/Well, if nothing else I'll think the bells inside/Have finally found you someone else... Reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. If you can't tell, I have a real problem with the whole loving/being-really-close-to-someone-and-then-breaking-up-or-falling-out-and-never-seeing-that-person-ever-again-in-your-life thing.
The Triumvirate: "Return," "Shortly Before The End," "T's Song" - OK Go But they don't make me cry like they used to.
"Chasing Cars" - Snow Patrol Makes me cry for several reasons: 1) it's a very pretty song, and I wish someone would feel that way about me; 2) the connotation with the last episode of season 2 of Grey's, which made me cry; 2) it reminds me of summer 2006.
"The Days Go Oh So Slow" - Nightmare of You Oh, Jesus, I cannot listen to this song anymore. Totally ruined music.
"That August Feeling" - Absent Right now, this is probably the single song that makes me cry no matter how much I try to stop it from coming. I know I've posted about it once or twice before, but it really is an excellent song, so it's definitely worthy of mention. It doesn't help that it's not a very happy song to begin with (opening line: It's time I woke up and not forced a smile/That should come naturally), but I also have a huuuuuuuuuuge emotional attachment to it- or rather, it's sort of the theme for what was a rather emotional year. It's one of those song where I listened to it for the first time (sometime circa September or October 2006) and thought, "Oh my GOD that is EXACTLY how I feel right now!" It was that burning, blinding desire that I had for a long time to just go back to August. It was hugely significant in my first few months in Paris; always and forever, I'll have this image of myself running through the Paris metro when I hear that song. And it didn't help that I went and got myself into a very sticky situation that just dragged itself on with one of the band members; the song reminds me of that as well.
It's just...hugely thematic. And cathartic. And sad. It (along with "Textbook" by WAS and probably "Mr. Brightside") pretty much defined my junior year. It was the last song I listened to on the airplane in Paris (five or six times, on repeat) before we took off, heading back to the US.
Um. I think there are other songs, but a good chunk of them make me sad because they're ruined music ("Days Go Oh So Slow" and "Chasing Cars" fall into the same category), so whether they continue to make me upset as time goes by, I don't know.
"Sing for Absolution" Muse I find this immensely depressing.
"Cabron" RHCP--this just reminds me of a time I was really happy and it makes me nostalgic, especially since I won't be seeing the people I was with for a year while I'm abroad.
and I second "Travelin' Soldier" by Dixie Chicks. It makes me tear up every time.
T's Song - OK Go - I find T's Song sadder than Return. Return - OK Go One - Aimee Mann - The Aimee Mann version of this song is much sadder than any other version, mainly because it's in the film Magnolia.
"You And I Both" - Jason Mraz And it's okay if you had to go away/Just remember the telephone, well it works both ways/But if I never, ever hear it ring/Well, if nothing else I'll think the bells inside/Have finally found you someone else...
That's the exact line that gets me.
And 23 is my favorite song right now. It's the #1 most played on my iPod. But it doesn't make me cry, it makes me happy.
dancing nancies and tripping billies by dmb... even though they are 2 of my absolute faves... when you listen to music with someone and then that someone just turns into someone bad, it sucks that those particular songs remind you of said bad person.... but again i power through b/c i love that music.
Ahh I'm so sorry those got ruined for you. DMB in general makes me happy, especially those 2 songs.
But sad songs for me, just about 80% of all Counting Crows music. But Oh man it takes me back to those bad times in my life. It was like he knew I how felt. Very powerful, very sad stuff.
Blue October is the same way, but to a lesser extent. My favorite is "Overweight" (which has nothing to do with obesity btw)
I italicized the bits I really like, and the bond one slapped yet again today.
Ever carried the weight of another? For how long? I walk as far as they need to recover For how long? (ha!)
I want to carry a piece of who I was before So when I hit the wall, I really hit the wall I want to tear away the death again A whiter shade of fucking meth again I want to stick to clues, I want to come unglued I want to shape the world to fit the way you move Oh, should I listen for a dress size?
I owned up, I've grown up, do you remember me? I showed up and so what if I'm the used to be I'm here to tell you that I'm sorry I was sorry But I'm happy that you're happy This is no longer about me
Trade rules, switch sides for your beautiful eyes Let him be you through your beautiful cries Let him hold you up so you can touch affordable skies Live your life just like a dream Without the pain of goodbyes Goodbye!
Ever carried the weight of another? For how long? I walk as far as they need to recover For how long?
I been a drunk disrespectful little street punk Unlock the back of my trunk You see, you take this bat And bash my head into the street again No-ones around so I keep beating it
Pull my hair back, look me in the eye There's a self-destructive meaning in the bleeding of a guy It's the guilt of what reality has given me Making sense of all mistakes and my stupidity And when you're sick you seem to think You've failed eternally
And that the people you let in are only crumbling I'm fuckin sick of thinking life in this recovery When my decision paved the road That lies in front of me
So to my friends that even call but I don't call back I want you deep inside my heart upon a hill It seems to hide sometimes and run away and wonder I'm really sick of saying sorry but I will
Ever carried the weight of another? For how long? I walk as far as they need to recover For how long?
But are we scared to take the ride? Or dare to look inside? I'm floating far away (far away) I'm floating far away (leaving home) I'm floating far away (so far away) I'm floating far away
I want to learn to walk with others as an equal I want to treat the ones who love me with respect I want to tell the world I'll give them all a piggyback And try to take away my negative effect I want to kiss the girl, I know I'll never lie again I want to call my dad and tell him that I care I want to let my brother know He saved my life a thousand times Throughout the years he's been my friend Who's always there
Ever carried the weight of another? For how long?
I had to listen to it of course posting it and all and it all applying to today and shit. And of course Countin Crows comes on shuffle right after
"What more perfect roundezvous The sundown paints the shadows through The daylight, Amy on what we do
...
What can I say? I wish that this weather would never leave it just gets hard to believe that God sent this angel to watch over me Cause my angel, she don't receive my calls Cause I'm too dumb to fuck to dumb to fight too dumb to save well maybe I don't need no angel at all
...
The bus is runnin, it's time to leave The summer's gone, and so are we so come on baby let's go SHUT IT DOWN IN NEW OOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Come on baby!!"
Comments

stars "one more night"
oasis "wonderwall"
I heart these songs. Wonderwall makes me happy. So does Engine Driver. But ya one more night and nothing in my way could have you balling.
On the bus mall is sad for me... and eli the barrow boy.
The new song i got from the new stars album called "My favourite book" makes me teary eyed. dang... i imagine thats how it fells to be in love.
"You and I Both" by Jason Mraz reminds me of a former good friend.
Holymotherfuckingshit I'm listening to that song right now. Weirrrrd coincidence.

Just because it's beautiful <3
i will ALWAYS love this song.
I find this immensely depressing.

I don't really like country but this song seriously gets me evertime.
this song is sad. not to mention the music video is terrifying to me.
i cry every time i hear return.
and..
little one - beck
but i looove them both
Return - OK Go
One - Aimee Mann - The Aimee Mann version of this song is much sadder than any other version, mainly because it's in the film Magnolia.
i missed this earlier... because when i commented on your profile, it was a complete surprise to me... but that's rad. july 22nd all the way
twas me i love howie though... its more nostalgia than anything... but still sadness...
ohhhhh my. god. don't even get me started on this one. i f'n love that song. and by 'dont get me started' i mean, i half-agree. i just love it though.
i'll agree to that one too...
and i'm adding
champagne supernova by oasis. once again. memories of the great, care-free times. sooo nostalgic.
And it's okay if you had to go away/Just remember the telephone, well it works both ways/But if I never, ever hear it ring/Well, if nothing else I'll think the bells inside/Have finally found you someone else...
That's the exact line that gets me.

Ever carried the weight of another?
For how long?

A whiter shade of fucking meth again
I want to stick to clues, I want to come unglued
I want to shape the world to fit the way you move
Oh, should I listen for a dress size?
I owned up, I've grown up, do you remember me?
I showed up and so what if I'm the used to be
I'm here to tell you that I'm sorry I was sorry

This is no longer about me
Trade rules, switch sides for your beautiful eyes
Let him be you through your beautiful cries
Let him hold you up so you can touch affordable skies
Live your life just like a dream
Without the pain of goodbyes
Goodbye!
