one last cry, before I leave it all behind... okay, that's a sad one too.

[enamoured]

I don't know why I am going to ask this question, but for some reason, I really really want to because I'm interested in the responses.

What song or songs, if any, have made you cry? Why? And, if possible, can you link me to an MP3 of them? It doesn't even have to be a song that makes you cry. It can just be a song that, to you, is really really sad. Still explain to me why it does make you feel low, and link if you can.

My songs, as sad and random as they may be: "Save the Best for Last", Vanessa Williams; "Back to Your Heart", Backstreet Boys; "Ribbon in the Sky", Stevie Wonder; "Goodbye to You", Michelle Branch; "Heart of the Matter", Don Henley; and "Outside", Mariah Carey.

Songs that make me sad/want to cry:

-- "Strong Enough," Sheryl Crow
-- "Hold On," Sarah McLachlan
-- "My Favorite Mistake," Sheryl Crow
-- I second the thoughts on Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks.
-- "Cowboys and Kisses," Anastacia (She needs to be as popular here as she was/is in Europe. She's got a great voice... I think you'd like her.)
-- "Everything You Want," Vertical Horizon
-- "Best I Ever Had," Vertical Horizon
-- "Here's To The Night," Eve 6
-- "Someday We'll Know," Mandy Moore/the guy from that New Radicals group (duet)

I guess for me, I find songs the saddest when I feel like I can relate to them and also when whoever's singing does well with conveying such intense emotion.

Gah! I forgot about Best I Ever Had. I need to download that.

And yeah, basically anything Fleetwood Mac is just gah, because there's Stevie/Lindsey angst and Christine/John angst and Stevie/Mick angst and it's just one big lyrical sobfest by the end of the night, with "Don't Stop" stuck in the middle for no good reason.

Okay this is gonna sound silly but...

NSync - That's When I'll Stop Loving You

It's weird because I listened to the song one day and just felt the urge to cry. Maybe because I miss the old days of Nsync? lol, who knows.

Besides "The Titanic Song" (when it FIRST came out), the only one that really makes me cry is "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely" by BSB <3

OMG...I know there are like a billion songs that make me cry, but for some reason I can only think of 3 a the moment

1). Blessid Union of Souls - Standing at the Edge of the Earth

2). Richard Marx - Right here waiting for you

3). Bonnie Rait - I can't make you love me

They're all such sappy love songs... It just makes me sad to know that it can hurt that bad

Strawberry gashes- by Jack off Jill..

turn em on, turn em on, turn on those sad songs...

[overmyhead.livejournal.com]

no doubt - don't speak
billy joel - and so it goes
bif naked - stolen sidewalk
john mayer - comfortable
lifehouse - everything
ari hest - strangers again
the calling - could it be any harder
britney spears - everytime
ben folds - still fighting

anything about losing love or ending love, because that's something everybody tries to avoid when they finally have it with someone. it's a pretty big blow and can be a real bummer. those are the songs that make me sad. :'(
