Hayden's "Let It Last"

Ryan Adams' cover of "Wonderwall"

Damien Rice's "Blower's Daughter"

Ben Folds "The Luckiest"

Elliott Smith's "Easy Way Out," "You're Just Somebody I Used To Know," "I Didn't Understand"

Bright Eyes "Landlocked Blues"

Red House Painters cover of "Follow You, Follow Me"

Colin Hay "Just Don't Think That I'll Ever Get Over You"

 

Some because they are sad. Some because they remind me of her, or we both liked them, or whatever, and they now make me sad.

Every Rose Has It's Thorn (Poison)

Don't Speak (No Doubt)

Anything for You (Gloria Estefan) - this one really gets me

Alison Krauss and Union Station - Poor Old Heart

 

The lyrics are all true. "You might just be the best that I can find, but I can't seem to forget the tears I've cried. I don't know that I will ever trust again, it's a price that I must pay for all my sings. Time has changed me and left me full of doubt. And my heart may be lost, never to be found"

I still can't even listen to anything by:

The Beatles or any of them (Paul McCarney)

Jimmy Buffet

Fleetwood Mac

Bob Seger

Cat Stevens

U2

Really any 70's groups...

The only music I can listen to is the crappy stuff my son listens to.

I used to love music and to blast the radio or cd's whenever I'm driving.

Now I can barely ever even turn the radio on because I'm just constantly

changing the station so I don't cry.

All 6 CD's in my tape deck in my car are still the one's my ex put in there and are his. One of these days I need to take them all out. But it doesn't even matter because I doubt I have any others that I can handle listening to anyway.

Just thinking about it and those groups is making me cry.....

I hate everything in life these days!!!! I'm a very sentimental type of person... I can't do anything or go anywhere that reminds me of my ex or things or places that we did together.... concerts, red sox games.... nothing!!!!!

It would have to be Jeff Buckley's "Lover you should've come over"..it's very sad, about lost love.

That song really describes how I feel right now

I can't cry anymore... nothing really makes me cry... sometimes I even want to cry, but I can't

I've felt that way too

I think I want to learn martial arts. Screw this music. :mad:

Some of the lyrics in this song are so beautiful and sad:

 

Yes you who must leave everything that you cannot control.

It begins with your family, but soon it comes around to your soul.

 

If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn

they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.

Another great, sad one by Leonard Cohen (sung by Rufus Wainwright):

There was a time you let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show it to me, do you?

And remember when I moved in you

The holy dove was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Posted

Because it is now being played at Military funerals, "Minstral Boy", is really becoming hard to take......too many friends have died.

It's hard to deal with a breakup. But which songs do you hear on the radio(or elsewhere) that just break you down to tears when you hear it?

 

"Show me what I'm looking for"- Carolina Liar

Love that song, and Rufus, but the Jeff Buckley version is the best. It brings me to tears quite fast.
