Songs of loss/abandonment make me cry as they remind me of my previous loss a few months ago.
On a more positive note, happy songs remind me of good times and those happy feelings are exacerbated by my happy pregnancy hormones so I'm super duper happy!
Any of Miranda Lamberts sadder songs. Cause you know she went through her divorce and has been taking it pretty hard. I feel for her and I just love her music so much!
John Legend & Meghan Trainor "I'm gonna Hold You" because I saw the video once and the little old lady reminded me of my grams, so now I bawl without remorse every time I hear it.
The one song that made me ugly cry when I first heard it was, "The Christmas Shoes." I think I heard it on the radio in the car and even though I was having a relatively good day I just started bawling. MH said that song by far made him the most depressed too.
In the beginning of my pregnancy when doctors thought I had an ectopic/ non-viable pregnancy, and I was literally just waiting for the moment the miscarriage would begin... I listened to "Fight Song" and it made me cry a lot. From that moment on, I changed my attitude completely and said to myself: "this baby is a fighter! If he is not giving up on me, I am not giving up on him either." That completely changed my attitute towards that (then) turbulent pregnancy. Fast forward several weeks, my little fighter is doing very well and kicking and punching me everyday to remind me of how good of a fighter he is.
"When I'm Gone" by Joey & Rory. The video was on, and I didn't even get 30 seconds into it before I was sobbing and had to change the channel. So sad!
OHH EM GEE. I BAWLED. Bawled. Thank goodness I was home chillaxin at the computer when this played. I ugly cried then too. I had to break it up and finish in separate chunks because each time I cried so hard. It's really, really, really depressing by far, especially knowing the story behind it. It's Christmas Shoes times 100.
I made a playlist titled "Daughters" that I have all these songs mostly about dad's and daughters, but also just parents and daughters (since we have one DD and DD2 is baking). Butterfly Kisses, When Daddy Says I'm Beautiful by Annie Moses, Daddy's Little Girl by Tim McGraw, Daughters by John Mayer, Capri by Colbie Caillat...so many songs.
While eating dinner the other night DH was playing some Beatles music. There are a few songs that are sad for me without pregnancy hormones, but "My Life" came on and I had to change the song and then went and sat in the bathroom and cried for 5 minutes. Sigh
Songs haven't gotten to me too bad lately (maybe because DH says I love sad songs) ... but a few days ago my DS asked me if I wanted to hear him perform his selections for the UIL Prose & Poetry competition, and of course I said yes. Turns out one of the selections was a poignant poem about a mother and son called "Move Pen Move". The word "stay" is repeated several times... and there I was, pregnant and hormonal and looking at my handsome first-born child, my baby boy who is about to graduate and leave home even though I've told him again and again he can stay here while he's attending college if he wants... And of course, I cried.
Can't say I've ever cried at a song but I used to cry every time when I was a kid when watching this scene from fox and the hound https://youtu.be/y3oZ0Il4QH4
This morning it was "I loved her first" by Heartland. I'm a major daddy's girl (yes even at 33 lol) and we just found out that we are likely expecting our first daughter after 3 wonderful sons. I wanted my husband to experience the daddy/daughter bond like I have with my dad so badly so this song totally had me super emotional.
Me & DH - 2009
Gone but not forgotten: Identical twin boys born at 23 weeks - 2004

I want to look this up but I'm afraid to start crying haha

This song does make me sad since my dad died when I was 8. It seems like a lot of country songs try to be sad, although I think some try too hard.
Sitting here at dance class for DD and this literally just happened (I look like a crazy woman!). The song I walked down the aisle to just about 6 months ago! Sarah barrelis I choose you. I think it's bc I rarely hear it unless I play it on my phone.
So I'm in the early stages of planning a Dumbo themed baby shower for a friend of mine who is due 5 weeks after me...Dumbo baby stuff on Pinterest gives me all the feels...

It's about a man (a writer) whose dying mother asks him to write her something to make her smile, and he's willing the pen to move and reminiscing about their somewhat rocky relationship. I think hearing MY son saying those words probably affected me more than anything... although I looked it up on youtube later and couldn't make myself watch it all the way through.
Another song that used to depress the shit out of me to the point of tears: Lonely Day - System of a Down
Always. I always cry to it. Omg.
And "Brendan's Death Song" by Red Hot Chili Peppers. One of my closest friends passed away last year after having battled cancer for 5 years. We grew up together and her death was really hard on me so I always cry when I listen to this song.
For all those daddy-daughter song lovers out there, I recommend The Girl You Think I Am by Carrie Underwood. Since my little girl won't have a father figure in her life (besides her grandfather), it just hit me right in the feels. Plus I've always had an amazing relationship with my dad.
Needless to say, I couldn't even drive my car when I first played it. Thank goodness I keep tissues in my car.
It's Been a While by Stained (every time it comes on it reminds me of when my fiancé and I were broken up) Wake Up by Coheed and Cambria (That's our song) Through the Glass by Stone Sour (I really hope LO doesn't have the same lonely childhood I did. He needs to take after his dad lol) Hard Candy Christmas by Dolly Parton (I cried everytime I heard this before pregnant...)
@aa79606 Broken is one of my favorite karaoke songs with fiancé. We actually sang it together when we first got back together and it was so much feels!

Oh man, It's Been A While! So many feels. And Bother with Stone Sour always made me cry my eyes out. And Corey Taylor is YUM.
The past two days I've been listening to Speeding Cars by Imogen Heap and I broke down last night listening to it. It's very personal.

That's why this round, I listen to octane on the way to work.

Before I even thought about having kids, this song always made me cry. To this day it's too many feels.

Yup this was also a song I listened to when I was going through a break up too.
Another song I listened to a lot during a breakup was Don't Speak from No Doubt
