Songs that make you cry and why

the righteous brothers - unchained melody gets me each and every time
 
There is no if - the cure
makes me cry everytime for some reason!
 
me and my hubby were parents at 17 and 18 it was hard for me to get my head around it as i found out when i was already 6months gone. we used to hide from our families in his room and listen to this song. We have been through many ups and downs in the 15 yrs we have been together and this song really symbolises how we deal with it. just recently i have been going through a really stressful time at work and on my of my tearfull day my hubby reminded me that as long as we have each other nothing else matters so i had it tattoo'd on my wrist so i never forget.

go and search for the song on youtube its lovely and it makes me cry everytime

So close no matter how far
Couldnt be much more from the heart


Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I dont just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldnt be much more

Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I dont just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

So close no matter how far
Couldnt be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters
 
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while
And though your dreams may toss and turn you now
They will vanish away like your daddys best jeans
Denim blue fading up to the sky
And though you want them to last forever
You know they never will
You know they never will
And the patches make the goodbye harder still

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
Therell never be a better chance to change your mind
And if you want this world to see a better day
Will you carry the words of love with you
Will you ride the great white bird into heaven
And though you want to last forever
You know you never will
You know you never will
And the goodbye makes the journey harder still

Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
Youre only dancing on this earth for a short while
Oh very young
What will you leave us this time
 
how about one that makes you laugh or smile?

mine is BORIS THE SPIDER by the who anyone else know it?
 
driving home in my car today, queens 'i still love you' came on and i broke my heart, thinknig about how sad and ill Freddy looked in the video. Silly moo lol

So I thought I would ask y'all, what song makes you cry when you hear it, and why?
:cry:
I always cry at that too . Also Who wants to live Forever by Queen which was used in The Higlander movie
 
beautiful lyrics from Kirsty:

Thank you for the days
Those endless days, those sacred days you gave me
Im thinking of the days
I wont forget a single day believe me

I bless the light
I bless the light that lights on you believe me
And though youre gone
Youre with me every single day believe me

Days Ill remember all my life
Days when you cant see wrong from right
You took my life
But then I knew that very soon youd leave me
But its alright
Now Im not frightened of this world believe me
 
for me its delta goodrums - born to try! - it was played at my friends funeral and really gets me, another one that brings a tear to my eye is puff the amgic dragon...
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Little jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puffs gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow wheneer they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, jackie paper came no more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee

anyone else know that one? x
 
Ohhh these songs are wonderful and bring back so many memories for me..I'm sitting here crying while reading them.
Can't put mine on or will be in bits. Will try later. xxx
 
I was the same just reading the words was enought to set me off :cry:
 
So many songs make me cry if I'm feeling down. Ones that always get me include:
There is a light - The Smiths
Konstantine - Something Corporate
The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot - Brand New
9 Crimes - Damien Rice
 
R.E.M Everybody hurts.. was played at my dads funeral :-(
 
REM Everybody hurts.. was played at my friends funeral. she died when we were 10 :(
 
You'll never walk alone gets me every time.
It was played at the joint funeral of my cousin and his young son who were tragically killed in a car crash 4 weeks after my son was born
 
Crying - Roy Orbison...just does
Don't walk away - ELO...it struck a chord when my marriage was breaking down before I realised I would be better off alone
Give a little respect - Erasure/Wheatus...Sums up the reason my marriage broke down.

I'm over him but still hard at times knowing what we had and then what it became because of his stupid insecurities.

There are many more songs that will get me teary eyed if i'm down, a few of them already listed here.

Daft softies aren't we
