Title: Favorite Tear-Shedding Song
Post by: Phoenix3107 on March 20, 2015, 09:33:52 PM
Who has a song that they like to listen to that has you either shed tears or prepares you to shed a tear and where did you first find that song?
Mine is Boyce Avenue-Hear Me Now, found this during a tribute to a pro wrestler who passed away 10 years ago.

This whole video got to me about 8 years ago for Sgt. Emerson Brand. His homecoming and a tribute to the tune of Go Rest High on That Mountain by Vince Gill.

Right now I gotta go with Nutshell by Alice in Chains, not really a shed a tear but it kinda mirrors some things I am going through right now.

Cats in the Cradle-Harry Chapin
Can't tell if someone posted it already. This flash thing is the most unpleasant new feature. I have eight auto downloads from this thread.

This one for sure.
And I hate to admit it, but my tears flow by the first chorus of "Shannon" by Henry Gross. I'm sure people think of it as a stupid song, and I can see their point, but something in my experience or maybe I'm susceptible to certain chord progressions? I don't know but the song wrecks me.
I can't really listen to that music anymore. Jazz and the old standards are safe though.

For a long time, I thought Annie Lennox was the greatest singer in the world, as she was able to get all the way through this, where I never could:

Someone I knew had a sweet, and weary head, and all I wanted for that person was just to sleep, and see a happier dawn the next morning.
Not quite so stark a situation as lay behind the song, but it seemed to fit nonetheless.

This. I used to love this song. Now Its hard to listen to.
Its the realization you come to when your kid first goes away to college or moves out of the house when it seems like only a couple of weeks ago you were changing their diaper. All those things you truely intended to do before they got to this point but life got in the way for or you thought there would be enough time for.
Advise to any new parent or parent of young children. Savor every moment. Because you can be home to tuck them into bed every night. Go to every ball game they play in. Every school show. Every birthday. And when they first walk out that door. You're still gonna feel like you somehow missed it.

Bruce Springsteen "You're Missing". Written about those lost on 9/11. I was totally unprepared for it, hearing it for the first time a few months after two of my kis died in a car wreck. It had me bawling like a baby in seconds as it hit it right on the money about the empty space in our lives with the kids gone.

on my way home from work back in september, there was a plane outside my gate that was bringing a fallen soldier home. It was quite emotional for everyone that was there to witness. I couldn't watch the entire ordeal.

As far as a bone chilling tear making song... Amazing Grace on the bagpipes.

1977...what a totally crap year for me... Lost love of my life....descended into dark, black depression. Lost jobs, friends..lived in $35 a week room in Eola , Il..it was as bad a place as you could imagine, and I was in as bleak a place in my mind. I still don't know how he found me...I had cut all ties in my self absorbed spiral down.. Yet there he appeared, my dad..and he said " Get your stuff, let's go home." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OO2PuGz-H8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OO2PuGz-H8)
Now I have 3 grown kids, better kids than I ever deserved. And I know I am blessed. How I miss that man. JGroth

There are two songs that break my heart whenever I hear them. I can't say they are "favourites" because I can't even listen all the way through:
1. Puff the Magic Dragon - Ever since I was a kid. Saddest song ever imho.
2. Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton. He wrote it in memory of his child that died after falling from a window. I will change station or room if the song comes on.
