Songs that bring a tear to your eye?


Recommended Posts

Let's name song songs with emotional lyrics (post a few stanzas if you can) which is pretty sad and touches you personally.

I'll start:

  • Blink 182 - Adam's Song - sad lyrics, sad tune - it's a really good song, though it's about suicide if you take it the wrong way :/. It was pretty sad once I read the lyrics
  • Verve Pipe - Freshman - reminds me of a real life event that happened to a friend of mine a few years ago
  • Luther Vandross - Dance With my Father - I could imagine how painful that sound would be for someone whose parents are split up
  • R.E.M - Everybody Hurts - sad song overall
  • Puff Daddy & Faith Evans ft. 112- I'll Be Missing You - true song, it's a tribute to Notorious BIG

The Verve - Freshman

My best friend took a week's vacation to forget her

His girl took a week's worth of valium and slept

Now he's guilt stricken sobbing with his head on the floor

Blink 182 - Adam's Song :cry:

The world was wide, too late to try

The tour was over, we'd survived

I couldn't wait 'til I got home

To pass the time in my room alone

...

I'm too depressed, to go on

You'll be sorry when I'm gone

Billy Ray Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart

Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart,

I just don't think he'd understand.

'Cause if you tell my heart, my achy breaky heart,

He might blow up and kill this man

:cry: :cry: :cry:

Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down

My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me. So won't you kill me, so I die happy. My heart is yours to fill or burst or break or bury or wear as jewelery, which ever you prefer. The words are hushed lets not get busted, just lay entwined here undiscovered.

Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember, I'll always remember the sound of the stereo, the dim of the soft lights, the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late and the walk that we shared together. The street was wet and the gate was locked so I jumped it and let you in and you stood at the door with your hands on my waist and you kissed me, but you meant it and I knew that you meant it, that you meant it, that you meant it, and I knew, that you meant it, that you meant it.

the original one sounds better imo, there's no guitars/drums to ruin the mood of the song.
