Songs Guaranteed to Bring Tears

--- Quote from: Aziraphale on 02 Nov 2014, 15:41 ---I can think of several. Some resonate with a particular time in my life (like the REM tune below). Others I can think of didn't have any particular significance, but just blindsided me. The first time I heard the Peter Gabriel song, I was sitting at a bus stop at six in the morning and just started crying uncontrollably.

Your REM video won't load for me so I'm just going to assume it's "Nightswimming", cuz it makes me happy to do so.
Stipe & Co. have a lot of winners in this category. "You are the everything" and "the wrong child" spring easily to mind.

It was actually "Sweetness Follows," though you'd get no argument from me on "Nightswimming," either.

A great many REM songs are perfectly crafted to attach themselves to the listener in a pretty brutal "time and place" memory stamp. Music sure does fuck us up.

Thanks for the suggestions - I knew a few of 'em (been an R.E.M. fan since Automatic for the People*), but there's more than enough emotion fuel here to keep me drawing tearjerkers for the next couple weeks.
Don't let me stop you adding to the list, though.

Funny you should say that - Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite will instantly take me back to the breakup with my college fiancee, and leave me there for a minimum of two hours or until I listen to something that can make me even more morose.

Yeah, but it's a good fucking.
Heh.
