Virginia Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I have one more; Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You? by Stevie Nicks. The story behind the song is what I found especially moving: http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=4763 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotplant Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I can't say THE most, but the O2 Stairway had me bawlin' MY eyes out. And some of the girly Fleetwood Mac can send me to tears. "Hey That's No Way To Say Goodbye" Leonard Cohen....... tear jerker. Also..Vincent....Don M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilith Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 There are lots, of course, but the three that instantly come to mind for me are "Love of My Life", "Who Wants to Live Forever?", and "The Show Must Go On", all by Queen, made even more sad for me because of Freddie's death. The Queen song that sends shivers down my spine is "Those Were The Days Of Our Lives". I remember watching the video, and the bit where Freddie looks into the camera at the end and says "I still love you" is incredibly haunting. He was so ill then, he must have known that he hadn't long left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longdistancewinner Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Aww, what a great song to mention! Should I take it by your user name that you are a fan of Stevie's? How about "Beautiful Child" as a sad song? I'm a huge Stevie fan. I saw the Mac in 2003 and they were fantastic. 'Beautiful Child' is a sad song, but I really feel the sadness in 'Storms'. The original 1977 version of 'Planets of the Universe' is a tear jerker as well. Stevie later did it for her solo album, but I never really liked that version. Here's a demo of the original http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WW0iBOI6B30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissandra Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Some of my favorites: 'The Flame', 'The Lengths' - the Black Keys 'In Loving Memory', 'Down To My Last', 'Burn It Down' - Alter Bridge 'Far Behind' - Candlebox 'Nutshell' - Alice In Chains 'Afraid Not Scared' - Ryan Adams 'Spoke In the Wheel' - Black Label Society--I recently found out it's about Wylde's father, which makes it more sad. Man, those are some seriously great songs. I want to hear them all right now ...I think I'll get on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninelives Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hmmm, challenging list to come up with. Sometimes it's not so much the words for me, but the mood of the song. Some that can easily bring me to tears: Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own - U2 Last Goodbye - Jeff Buckley Who Knows Where the Time Goes - Joan Baez I'm Not Ready For Love - Rufus Wainwright Song to the Siren - Robert Plant's version Old Friends/Bookends Theme - Simon and Garfunkel Danang - Tim Buckley Comin' Back to Me - Jefferson Airplane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadScreamingGallery Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Just reading this thread is making me weepy. From the day it was released, “These Days” - Gregg Allman’s version, with his beautiful, passionate, wrenching vocals, from his “Laid Back” album has never failed to reduce me to a sobbing mess. It started only within this past year; without warning or explanation, but I now find that I can no longer listen to the studio version of Tangerine without breaking down in tears. Although there is poignancy in the guitar solo (at least to me) the song itself doesn’t sound depressing…if it were depressing, it wouldn’t do such a number on my head…what makes it insidious is that the song offers glimpses of those moments of lightness and happiness that once were… for better or worse, the studio version of Tangerine has inexplicably made itself the latest anthem for my lost youth. <sigh> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oceangal Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Songs that make me happy/sad/angry R.E.M. - Fall on me, Night Swimming Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the UK - don't laugh I actually cried to this one - many memories. Lloyd Cole - This one's from the hip, Rattlesnakes Elvis Costello- Good Year for the Roses, Radio Radio Pretenders- Thin Line Between Love and Hate, Brass in Pocket LZ - Rain Song, IMTOD, both just make me feel, which is great Garbage - Vow, Why do you love me All bring back good/bad/sad memories and feelings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlaxle 56 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 It's Natural To Be Afraid- Explosions In The Sky What is so fantastic about this band is that they are purely instrumental, but have more emotion than almost any other band I've ever heard in my life.
