Hey Pandas, Whats A Song That Makes You Feel Deeply Sad, Like You’re About To Cry?

The sky's the limit!

After our first Bulldog died, I made a little video with the best pics of her (too short) life. I used:

Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwoʻole
See You Again by Wiz Khalifa

Can't listen to these anymore without bursting into tears right away.

"A million tears " by Trees of Eternity..... not only a heartbreakingly emotional song, so full of grief and vulnerability.... So sad on it's own, But I later found out that the singer had terminal cancer when she wrote and recorded it.... and sadly passed away before the album was even released.....
I have never cried to a song more than when I learnt that....
I can hardly listen to it any more, it's just too much...
Such a loss, she had a beautiful voice....

I forgot to add her name....... Aleah Liane Stanbridge..... what a voice.... A wonderful example of her voice from happier times is " Touch my face" by That Which Remains.... a project with former members of the 80s goth band The Mission...... the raw demo version is beautiful..... you can hear every breath she takes.... Breaks my fücking heart.....

"The Rainbow Connection" was my little brother, who died a while back's song.
"Hearts Content" by Brandi Carlile just hurts me because it reminds me of some book characters, and my parents, grandparents, and myself. Especially "Maybe we know how the story ends
Maybe it's not even about us
We both retreat to opposing stands
And the love lives on without us"

It's a love song, but the slow, reflective kind.

It always used to make me sad as a kid, not sure why, just something about it was depressing.

I can't listen to In the Arms of an Angel without getting rage-sad. My mom wanted it played at her funeral. It was literally her ONLY request. Officiant (was the hospital's chaplain) argued with me that it was inappropriate. I said I don't care, that's what she wanted so that's what we're doing. I set the cd up ready to play over the sound system. B!tch swapped it as soon as my back was turned to some jesusy feelgood praise jebus bullsh!t. My sister restrained me from "causing a scene" so I left and abused some very bad substances to keep from burning the place down. 😐

"Blackbird" by Alter Bridge. My dad passed away last October. He was in a lot of pain and was dealing with progressing kidney failure among other things. But he never stopped doing things. He never gave up and let his ailments stop him.
"Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird, fly away
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again."

This one just hits me in the feels... I used to listen to a lot of classical music when my dad was fixing our house and I was small, so it's very nostalgic.

There's something about Bastille's Oblivion, specifically the live art capitol hill one ( https://youtu.be/vlcDX77rzPM?si=M6T33nNXZ8M7OpYn ). I know the song is clearly about addiction, but whenever I hear it, I think about an ex I had who really struggled with mental health and was suicidal. They had periods of absolute mania by they also would just crash, suddenly and I used to have this constant fear that I may never hear their voice again. I recall, their mom (oh yeah this was like high school) coming to pick me up from school to bring me to the hospital to see them and I would just sit there while they are restrained to the bed after tried to slit their wrists and I would just cry. I was also very depressed, but seeing and feeling the impact of them every time they tried to end it, absolutely hardened me against ever going that far myself. Even though they found a way through and are substantially better now than they were then and we are still good friends, this song just reminds me of them and every other friend or acquaintance i have lost to self destruction... but it's a beautiful song.

Small Bump but Ed Sheeran. It is one of the saddest songs I have ever heard. It's one of those songs where I always listened to the beginning but never listened to the lyrics all the way through... the day I did though I absolutely sobbed. Essentially it is about coming to terms with being a dad-- at first unsure but then kind of worried you'll be a bad parent, then a super odd excitement over what your life will be like-- then the rug pull, the child is either still born or miscarried and the final verse is just shock and grief.

Also sorry just to add, but so that you can get a sense of the sadness this is the transition: And you can lie with me With your tiny feet When you're half asleep I'll leave you be Right in front of me For a couple weeks So I can keep you safe 'Cause you are my one and only And you can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb And hold me tight You are my one and only You can wrap your fingers 'round my thumb And hold me tight And you'll be alright 'Cause you were just a small bump unborn For four months then torn from life Maybe you were needed up there But we're still unaware as why

"Supermarket Flowers" by Ed Sheeran. I lost my mum to cancer, I can't hear the first line without starting to bawl my eyes out. I'm not much of a Sheeran fan, but the lyrics and gentle melody rip your heart out from pure raw emotion.

All You Wanna Do from Six the musical (specifically the Sam Pauly version, even better if the video on youtube of the actual show)

The song starts off really upbeat but by the end you can really feel the emotion and the lyrics are really sad if you actually know the story.

(also yes, I am a theatre kid)
