Trully question. I cannot be the only one who cries when listens music. I was the privellege to see my favourite artists live, but since last year, all lives I assisted on YouTube by Fred again… , I cry . Has been my favourite musician since last year. Almost all songs, for me, are amazing and give me a bunch of emotions.
Joe Hisaishi. It just hits different.
So true, especially when paired with Miyazaki. They’re the Japanese Williams and Lucas - a real filmmaking match made in heaven.
Heilung hits me really hard. It’s become my annual “cleansing” seeing them love. It’s transformative to me.
Dude! Another Heilung fan. I’m seeing them in April at Red Rocks in Colorado.
Jealous. If you get lucky with weather, that’s going to be truly moving. Enjoy the ritual!
Thomas Tallis Fantasia on a Theme. Lots of emotional connections with that one
But that’s the song composed by Vaughan Williams. You will also enjoy Ascending Lark by him, played by Tasmin Little.
I can’t remember the last time I’ve had a good cry to some music but goosebumps come easier. Crying is hard haha. But here’s some sad stuff that runs an equal risk of giving me goosebumps or ruining my mood for the day:
Lingua Ignota - All Bitches Die (album)
Uboa - The Origin of My Depression (album)
Joy Division - Closer (album)
The Antlers - Hospice (album)
Giles Corey - Giles Corey (album)
Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There (album)
Modest Mouse - Edit the Sad Parts (song)
The Tallest Man on Earth - Shallow Grave (album)
Songs: Ohia - Magnolia Electric co. (album)
Two Gallants - What the Toll Tells (album)
The Mountain Goats - Tallahassee (album)
Might come back an add more later!
Oh man, Jason Molina. “And everything you hated me for… Honey, there was so much more”
Truly one of a kind, shame that he left.so soon

Ooh, I’m impressed that pipebot can handle multiple links per post, that is classy.
Good bot.
Yess Mountain Goats.
The one that really got me tearing up is Woke Up New, but Welcome to San Bernardino comes close.And crying is hard.
A song called “Paper Wings and Halo” by Lori McKenna always makes me teary-eyed. I hadn’t heard it for years - just played it. Still works.
Also, “The Circle Game” by Joni Mitchell. Apparently, songs about years and life passing by are what really choke me up.
I don’t cry just when listening to music but when it appears in certain movie scenes it can happen. Like a few times in CODA (don’t click if you haven’t seen the movie) or when „What was I made for“ began in the Barby movie.
Goosebumps:
- This Mortal Coil - Song to the Sirens
- Anne Clark & Murat Parlak - Be Drunk
- Samuel Barber - Adagio for strings
- Jean Sibelius - Violin Concerto in D minor - I. Allegro moderato
- Antonio Vivaldi - Four Seasons - Summer III. Presto
and a few other classic songs

There is something in the music and the soft voice that always makes me cry. Beautiful song.

As cheesy as it may seem, travelin soldier, by the chicks (when they were still the Dixie chicks) gets me every time.
Quite a few… First that comes to mind is Skinshape - I didn’t know. Also Tame Impala has a few, like Feels like we only go backwards
Not sure how far back we can go…
Steampowered Giraffe reminds me of a friend who died a couple years back because she really loved them.
Since there are so many bands and music that made me cry, I’ll share a recent one that made an impression and was the album of the year 2023 on me was Blue Rev by Alvvays. Give it a shot if you love indie rock
This is a tough thread for me, am old dude who loves music but I don’t recognize 3/4 of what others have posted. I’ll have to check out some of it but it has been hard for me to find new bands I like. Songs Ohia is an example, but lots of them are too twangy, too folksy, or overuse auto tune.
Anyways, to the question:
-
Cranberries - Zombie
-
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Poor song
-
Simon and Garfunkel - The sound of silence
-
NIN - Hurt
-
Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats
-
Dolly Parton - Jolene
-
Annie Lennox - Don’t let it bring you down
Fellow old person here. For me it’s Fra Lippo Lippi - Beauty and Madness.
Edit: also Suzy Bogguss - Letting Go
I’m a big sap. 🥲
