The Antlers - Kettering
Hospice is a sad album overall and I don't know which track is saddest, but mentioning Kettering because of how it connected with me. |

Two for me -
1) Billy Bragg - Tank Park Salute. A song about his father, always brings a lump to my throat particularly as it was also played at his Mum's funeral. 2) Kate Rusby - My Young Man. Written for her Nan when her coal miner husband was dying. Once the brass band kicks in, I'm done for.  "A young girl no more am I But I shall not weep and I will not cry,For my young man needs me still. If someone's watching up above You'll see how much my dear I love, So leave him here, I need him now and always will. Oh if someone's watching up above You'll see how much my dear I love, And If he must go, let your best angels keep him well" Edited by chopper - March 02 2022 at 04:48 |

This song is very sad (or at least the lyrics are).

^Do you really not understand what this song is about? If you believe domestic abuse is not sad, you're a sick puppy.

There is "Song to the Siren" by Tim Buckley which always brings a lump to my throat, but one of the saddest songs I know is "Sky Blue and Black" by Jackson Browne written after the suicide of his wife. Edited by Hugh Manatee - March 01 2022 at 17:46 |

Can't say any song has made me cry. Not trying to sound macho or anything, but I guess I'm just not affected by music in that way.

This is what my mind first drifted towards upon reading the thread title; definitely one of the bleakest melodies I've ever heard, but it has never made me cry personally. I am a very emotional person and can think of plenty of songs that have brought tears to my eyes; I think I've shared Brian Eno's "Fullness Of Wind" plenty of times as an example, but the song below is a fairly reliable sob-inducer for me as well, both because of the music and the lyrics (in Dutch), which describe a slightly surreal story about a narrator who has "lost himself" in the sense of having somehow been physically separated from the part of himself that he felt defined him and could lead him to happiness, and finally taking solace in imagining that maybe the other part of him has managed to find happiness, love and fulfilment. (song starts at 0:50) Edited by Mirakaze - March 01 2022 at 14:54 |
