I've Got Friends in Low Places-Garth Brooks. Odd one yes but
It was played at my ex-husbands memorial. It just fit his life so
perfectly, made me cry like a baby.....
There are actually quite a few songs that bring back certain memories that
I cry to. Music is magical because It takes you back to a special place in your life when you heard the song and the circumstances surrounding the music.

Time by Pink Floyd. Oh, how much time has gone by, how many fine souls have come and gone. :weep:
Re: Songs that Make You Cry
I was watching a Coldplay concert on TV and reminded me how I always tear up during both "Fix You" and oddly "The Scientist". I know with "Fix You" Chris wrote it about his wife at the time Gwyneth Paltrow losing her dad Bruce Paltrow. Also having seen various TV shows & movies use this song when they kill off a character and/or have a funeral scene I just associate it with that. Especially the line "Tears stream down your face when you lose something you can not replace." "The Scientist" is similar since their music video depicted a car accident and that song's been used a lot as well in fanvids for when a TV/film character dies but focusing on a relationship from the person left behind, and then after one of my close friends died in a car accident it makes me think of him too.
Re: Songs that Make You Cry
I don't remember tearing up because of a song but the closest I've come to that is when listening to In My Life by the Beatles once a few years ago
Re: Songs that Make You Cry
"Expecting to Fly" by Buffalo Springfield overwhelms me. Every. Time.
Though it's fast become one of my all-time favourites, Harry Nilsson's "Without You" does make me emotional for a variety of reasons.
Re: Songs that Make You Cry
I absolutely wept hearing "Leader of the Band" by Dan Fogelberg on Father's Day.
Re: Songs that Make You Cry
The mere thought of the song "Only Time" by Enya, let alone actually hearing it, will do it to me every time. That song was used in a 9/11 memorial video way back, and the associations and imagery still stick with me to this day as it regards that song.
Re: Songs that Make You Cry
I got choked up listening to "Seven Years" by Lukas Graham the other day. Just reminds you of your mortality, as if we didn't have reminders enough. It also made me think of Glenn and the Eagles.

Once I was seven years old my momma told me
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Once I was seven years old
It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
Once I was eleven years old
I always had that dream like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Once I was twenty years old
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
I got my boys with me at least those in favor
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
I was writing about everything, I saw before me
Once I was twenty years old
Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
Soon we'll be thirty years old
I'm still learning about life
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
And I can tell them stories
Most of my boys are with me
Some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind
My brother I'm still sorry
Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
Soon I'll be sixty years old
Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
Soon I'll be sixty years old
Once I was seven years old, momma told me
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Once I was seven years old
Once I was seven years old
