Music that makes you cry

My father passed away 2 years ago during the lockdown (UK). I’ve always loved this song but, for me, the words carry far more significance than they ever did before. I wasn’t able to be with him when he passed due to lockdown restrictions.

I don’t listen to it very often but it does affect me greatly.



Are there any pieces of music in any style that make you cry or feel sad?

Edit: they can be tears of joy of course, not just sadness!

Good thread.

Christina Perri "A thousand years" - no idea why.
:2thumbs:

But it must communicate in "another language" which is understood spiritually. Haven't even bothered to check the lyrics, or any story related, it "sings" whatever it sings, and its enough. Simple, but must be an emotional masterpiece.

Btw, that Mike & the Mechanics song, its an emotional masterpiece - as well. Hard to even imagine anyone being able to watch it/isten, for years, when a father passes away. Maybe its cathartic. I think when father passes away (and things looking bad right now) that song will be on my ban list at least 2 years. Or maybe it can help to pour out sorrow. It would POUR - like a flooding.

Sorry to hear about your father passing and in these circumstances... What a song it is...

I lost a dear friend two years ago as well, she was in a class of her own, a towering soul, musician, who sacrificed career to care for her severely autistic son, early departed. I'm still in shock at all the words I never dared say that swirl in my mind, unspoken, and the miles I didn't travel (damn Covid) and the void her leaving left in my life...

Beside multiple broadcasts of Jazz At The Lincoln Center we watched together from across the country, this is a song I shared with her, it made me think of the impact her son's life had on so many, unaware. Never suspecting it would be forever tied to her memory...

why only songs so far? Interesting.

there have been quite a bunch over the years but only in the right times.. some recent ones.









7:14 (but I'd listen to the whole track if its the first time for a build)




I'm suing this guy soon... recently there hasn't been much by other composers.
But I'm also low in music listening due to time constraints.
And everyone else writers media music or public music. Thomas writes from the heart and out of inspiration.

There was a time in my life that I was feeling low and this track by Dario Marianelli made me cry and lifted me up.

oh yea, this one did it for me too... First non-song :D :D Thank you!!!

been a while though. I listen rarely to some favorite pieces
 
Oh where to begin... there are so many reasons a piece of music can bring tears to my eyes. The music itself is so achingly beautiful, the lyrics are especially poignant, the performance is so intense and beautiful, or it was just associated with a special memory in my life (happy or sad).

In no particular order, and for various reasons:
