Songs that make you cry

SpartyMomma · July 2013

I posted something on the "PS: I Love You" thread about how the last time I hormone-cried was listening to Darius Rucker's "It Won't Be Like This For Long." This got me thinking it might be a fun Friday thing to throw out the names of songs that make us, as I say in a borrowed quote from "Superbad," "get something in both of our eyes." Can be BR or not. Besides the aforementioned tune, mine are:

"Daughters" - John Mayer

"Little Moments" and "Everything To Me" - Brad Paisley

"Through the Years" - Kenny Rogers

"There Goes My Life" - Kenny Chesney

[Okay, just about any country song related to having a daughter...]

"Tears in Heaven" - Eric Clapton

*I think a good, healthy cry is great for the soul and it always make your skin glow afterwards!

BR (to me anyway): A Thousand Years by Christina Perri

DH-related: Lovely Tonight by Josh Radin. I walked down the aisle to it, and get misty eyed every time

"Father and Daughter" by Paul Simon. It was my father/daughter dance at my wedding, so it already got me misty pre-pregnancy, and now when I listen to it it makes me think of what a great daddy DH is going to be to our little girl and I just lose it.

Mama's Song by Carrie Underwood

You Can Let Go Now, Daddy by Crystal Shawanda (seriously tearing up just thinking of this song...)

Edit: Adding "All American Girl" by Carrie Underwood, I'm having a little girl, so it makes me tear up thinking of MH and LO.

Edit, again: Also! Miranda Lambert's "Over You". I cry every time it comes on the radio. PG or not.

I know it's cliche, but "Butterfly Kisses" always gets me teary. My dad and I danced to it at my sweet 16 and years later at my wedding. It totally made my whole family cry.

Carrie Underwood's new single "See You Again" gets me. My sister and I were very close and she took her own life two years ago, so I can really relate to this song. I cried all the way home from work one day when it came on the radio. However, I do believe I will see her again.

Also, "Letters From Home" by John Michael Montgomery is a tear jerker. I am so thankful for our troops for doing what they do, and this song is so REAL.

Y'all are gonna make me cry right NOW!

Mine is hands down Your Song by Elton John!

Snowbird7 · July 2013

Regina Spektor's cover of the Beatles' "Real Love." It was our first dance at our wedding, and I'm putting it on my birth playlist.

Fuel`s cover of Elton John`s song Daniel. My brother Daniel died in January and we played this song at his funeral.

This. Every. Damn. Time.

"I've Been Watchin' You" by Randy Travis makes me tear up thinking about DH and LO.

Also "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman, was my Daddy/Daughter dance song.

THIS!! It was also my father/daughter song at my wedding and I cannot hear it without crying. It makes me ugly cry too!!

Thought of another one, NBR: Let It Be by the Beatles. My grandma passed away unexpectedly a few years ago and this is the song we played while we spread her ashes - it's a very "her" kind of song. Also, "Have It All" by Jeremy Kay usually gets me misty; I heard it for the first time a few weeks after she passed, and I swear it felt like she was talking to me, so I always think of her when I hear it.

Since getting PG, I have basically stopped listening to country music, especially while I'm driving, because so many of the songs make me cry! I love them, but they get me sobbing so bad sometimes I have to pull over!

Lightning Crashes by Live
Lullaby by Nickelback
Hurricane by Theory of a Deadman

The last 2 because they make me think of our miscarriage 2 years ago July 10th. The first one just always has since I was younger.

And of course Angel by Sarah McLachlan.

The one they sing in P.S. I love you makes me misty eyed cause I start thinking about the movie.

I bawled when Taylor Swift's "Never Grow Up" on the radio one day back in my first trimester, like snot every where, gasping for air bawled. I can listen to it now without bawling but I still tear up a little.

Also I can't get through Amazing Grace without choking up because it was my Grandmothers favorite song. She knew every verse (and there is a lot more than most people think).

"I won't let go" by Rascal Flatts.. man that song gets me every time! It came on the radio one day and I was singing along out loud, and my son turned to me and just watched me as I sang. I started thinking about the words and singing them to him and totally started crying. I'm totally not one to cry over songs either!

Through the Years - Kenny Rogers

It Won't Be Like This For Long Darius Rucker

You're Gonna Miss This - Trace Adkins
