"La Ritournelle", Sebastien Tellier... It would have to be in my top five tracks ever... If not at number one...
What songs make you cry?
"La Ritournelle", Sebastien Tellier... It would have to be in my top five tracks ever... If not at number one...
What songs make you cry?
This is slightly shameful...
Fields of Gold by Sting. Oh dear.
?
.
Do you mean why is it shameful or why does the song make me cry?
I genuinely love the song so I'm not really ashamed that it makes me cry.
And the lyrics are sad and poetic.
Sorry...
I hope my reply didn't sound blunt! I'm just struggling to express myself properly - I'm tired and I should go to bed.
never apologies on an internet forum.
I just wanted an explanation. That is all.
I once cried
to that! Just a really tiny bit.
Intervention by Arcade Fire.
1000 Seconds by Secret Machines.
Why does 1000 Seconds make you cry?
I've heard that song loads of times, where exactly is the heartache/heartbreak?
I don't know.
But it has done. Twice. I just love the atmosphere.
1000 seconds is a cracking tune...
However it's nowhere near as sad as 'Let me in' by REM.
*sniffle*
agreed
:'(

Untitled 4 by Sigur Ros off of ()
Switching Off by Elbow, but only when its perfomed live
None!
I don't cry, I sneeze.
No songs make me sneeze though.
Dolly Parton's "Jolene" is pretty sad though, right?
Untitled 1
^^
I understand..
how Fields of Gold could make you cry, but I find the Eva Cassidy version more moving.
Oh, and I cried watching Katie Melua sing Songbird with Eva Cassidy on that BBC programme where artists sang with their heroes.
Or something.. =]
patches- clarence carter
New disaster- elliott smith
italy- fuck
......oh and
hero by mairia carie
boys don't cry
so nothing for me !
I find lots of music moving
but No surprises by Radiohead brings me closest to tears.
I don't think
I've ever cried to music, but on a rainy night on a bus, listening to Great Expectations by Elbow, I came pretty close.
See also Wish You Were Here and Wishful Thinking by Wilco.
same here
last night, pissing down with rain, empty bus, The Cinematic Orchestra, To Build A Home
This morning i almost cried
when listening to One More Cup Of Coffee followed by Oh, Sister. I was walking to work though, which is an immensely sad time of the day
Bob Dylan, obvs
Nina Simone - My Father
Ave Maria
played at my nan's funeral. That's all, I think.
completely agree
La Ritournelle is a really beautiful piece of music. Shame the radio edit robbed it of some of the best bits.
Hearing it live was one of my lifetime 'moments'.
Fucking incredible... standing 2m away from him and his piano weaving those notes so beautifully....
(sighs thinking about it)
editors
everytime i hear one of their songs i weep with boredom.
and how my tears do tumble.

Explosions in the Sky - Your Hand in Mine
Last Days of April - At Your Most Beautiful
onelinedrawing - Yr Letter
Kristofer Astrom - How Come Your Arms Are Not Around Me?

god i love when 90s sentimental films actually hit a nerve..
sniff'
oh you
heartless bastards!
only ever really live
but Mogwai Fear Satan always gets me. Always. Not actual tears, I suppose but it makes me all [WELLING UP] [SHAKES HANDS]
I did cry at it at Leeds Festival a few years back when they presceded it with Sine Wave but that was more an accumulation of drink, poppers and extreme tiredness.
Okay
Folding Stars by you-know-which-currently-controversial-band is very sad. Sad songs are either about;
a) failed relationships or
b) death
An example of each;
Hardly Getting Over It by Husker Du is a relationship drink-drive carcrash scene of a song.
I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab is eye-wateringly, voice-tremblingly sad, especially with the animated film.
Hardly Getting Over It
reminds me of an ex really losing it after her grampa staggered into her room having a heart attack and she froze in shock and he died and some of the family blamed her for not getting help sooner. I was listening to Candy Apple Grey a lot at the time and that song always associates me with that
Cripes that
is sad. Fuck. Especially the consequence. Like bearing in mind the song's lyrics. Grandma She Got Sick and stuff. Fuck.
