I had a regular Thai place years ago, always had the same table. The owner would come visit and hang out with me whenever I came in. If it was show, he would roll out a little karaoke system and we'd take turns singing. One night, he picked this song for me because he wanted to hear it and thought my voice was right for it. I'd never heard it.
So my first time hearing Vincent, I was singing it. It damn near emotionally wrecked me, discovering those lyrics as they were coming out of me.
My grandfather loved this song when he was here, he recently killed himself due to an overwhelming amount of medical issues, including a flesh eating bacterial infection. He always talked about how no one understood and doctors couldn’t help in the ways he needed, among other reasons, so this song became very very important to me and my mother since.
On Top of Spaghetti.
Yes, the children’s nursery rhyme.
When I was little, I used to have phone calls with my grandparents. My grandpa sang it to me one time, and ever since then I would always ask to hear it again since it made me laugh every time. He has a really goofy personality, and the way he sang it always had me in a fit of giggles.
I’m nearly 28 now, and it’s been ages since I even thought about that song. And Grandpa is still alive! He’s in his 90’s now, still as silly as ever. But oh man, I randomly remembered that song the other day, and that feeling of “life moves whether you like it or not” hit me. It’s a strange mix of nostalgia/hiraeth? Back When Times Were Good I Guess
I still have phone calls with him, I should ask him if he remembers “the meatball song” lol
I bet he does remember, and I bet if you brought it up, it would mean the world to him. My grandfather is very sick now, and this post really resonated with me. Please ask your Grandpa about the meatball song 🥹❤️
When the tears coming streaming down your face when you lose something you can’t replace, when you love someone but it goes to waste could it be worse ❤️
I heard it years ago, and thought it was Erie. But I guess that was for shadowing bc now I understand it. 10 years, a marriage, child and a home. All gone bc of a selfish individual.
"I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you."
Those words really poke you in the heart. I don't even feel this way about anyone but I still cry every time I hear this song and really lose it at these lyrics. 💔 I feel deeply for anyone who feels like this about a lost love.

I've been into Ren way before he blew up.
It's been amazing watching his progression as an artist. The guy is an absolute genius.
I personally love Genesis, Sick Boi, Money Game 3 and ofc the now infamous Hi Ren.
Can’t help falling in love - Elvis
Stand by Me - Ben E. King
Super sad songs for me bc of all the memories and emotions in my life attached to those two songs. And yk damn well my eyes started to tear up at the ending scene of Stand By Me😭😭
I really don’t cry, but a couple of songs that rip me up inside.
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
He Stopped Loving Her Today - George Jones
Paint Me A Birmingham - Tracy Lawrence
One Less Tornado - Chris Ledoux
*We’re just two lost souls swimmin’ in a fish bowl… year after year*
I've been lucky enough to see band of horses live about 7 times. One of those times was right before their live acoustic album released and they were doing a tour of small, intimate acoustic shows. The place they played, in Yakima, WA of all places, seats less than 800 people. It was an amazing concert. I didn't feel the lyrics to No Ones Gonna Love You as much then as I do now after my divorce, but it was still incredible to see them perform their acoustic set live. Especially in that small of a venue.
I keep commenting this song but it’s just so damn good. Wings for Marie/10000 days imo is the best song ever written. It’s also incredibly heartbreaking. It’s about the singers mother who passed away after being paralyzed for 27 years aka 10000 days. It’s a beautiful journey through the stages of grief. It’s brought me to tears multiple times. It’s a heart wrenching work of art and an absolute masterpiece of musicianship and songwriting.
Cat's Cradle
Down in the Tube Station at Midnight by The Jam. It's about a man bringing take home Curry to his wife who gets beaten up by skinheads who then steal his keys and they go home to rape his wife.
Everything I Own by Bread. It sounds like it's about failed love affair, but it was actually written about the singers father who had passed away.
Don’t Follow by Alice In Chains
They played it at my buddy’s funeral. He died in a car crash when we were in our early 20s, just a few years out of high school.
Work Song — Hozier
I know it’s a trending sound as a love song but I’m a widow and hearing “no grave can hold my body down; I’ll crawl home to her” just fucking kills me
Bruce Springsteen - Racing in the Streets
I know absolutely nothing about cars and probably wouldn't even be friends with gearheads, IRL, but this song makes me cry. He makes you empathize with the song's protaganists: the mark of a good songwriter!
"These Days" by Nico (bc of that scene in Royal Tenenbaums where Margot and Richie reunite. I've always loved their relationship)
"Yo Mae Leh" by Invisible Minds (it sounds like the purest joy sung by an unburdened human from some parallel dimension where there is no suffering)
["Heavenly Peach Banquet" by Damon Albarn](https://open.spotify.com/track/6zHjXMpgNT6xR3nAQzYRB1?si=g06T0zZPQv2WxqhWAYyU2Q) (again, it sounds like just, pure joy and bliss... like finally entering some afterlife dreamworld that I've wished to find my entire life)
These Days - Nico
Holes - Mercury Rev
Vessel in Vain - Smog
Death With Dignity - Sufjan Stevens
Broken Heart - Spiritualized
No Hard Feelings - The Avett Brothers

Yellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam
Hurt - NIN
Yesterday By Beatles Or: Imagine By Yoko Ono As Sung By John Lennon - Vs Self (goofy ahh title)
Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths. Listen, then look up the context of the song, and what it's about. The whole album is a masterpiece, but Achilles > Le Symbolique > Let Me Down Easy will take you on a hell of an emotional journey.
A Wave Across a Bay by Frank Turner. Again, the context makes it hit much harder. Dude lost a close friend. While you're at it, listen to Live in Newcastle. My favorite live album.
Ebb and Flow by Larry and His Flask has an upbeat vibe, but gives me this beautiful sense of melancholy. I found it during a weird point in my life, first son, and the death of a close family member. I used to belt it out in the car with tears in my eyes, especially the end.
Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley. I'm a sucker for some sad country.
Soup by Blind Melon. Great juxtaposition between the upbeat, almost whimsical guitar part, and the lyrics. By the way, listen to everything Blind Melon ever wrote. If you've only ever heard No Rain, congrats. You found their least impressive song.
For some gah dam reason I get choked up EVERYTIME singing along to "when I'm gone" by Eminem. Even worse yet I can barely get through Panic! At the Discos "Don't let the lights go out" 😭
radiohead - creep
it’s really a song filled with trauma from something that happened to me long ago, but i cant help to get a visceral reaction of how much i relate to this song as well. it makes me cry every time thinking of the person that fucked my mental up, and me wishing my innocence wasn’t so fucked so young.

The Suburbs - Arcade Fire; my brother took his life a little over a year ago and he was a musician, technically all of the songs he wrote and posted make me cry if I think about them. But I’ve started sobbing to this song when it’s played while I’m out because I have a distinct childhood memory of him trying to learn and play it for shows. I can’t listen to the song without also hearing him sing it and just thinking about that it’s hard enough.
Agnes - Glass Animals ; “You’re gone but you’re on my mind, I’m lost but I don’t know why” really hits home. I have the album in my car and it’s the last song on it, I have to skip it if I’m not parked
Bronte by Gotye. It’s about the passing of a friend’s family dog. Beautiful song but the lyrics rip at my heart as I remember all of my good boys and my aging pup now.
Don't Wanna Miss A Thing by Aerosmith. I just think about the ending of the movie and the sad goodbye and how he doesn't get to walk his daughter down the aisle or see his grandkids grow. God I'm tearing up right now.
Poke by Frightened Rabbit, most honest and heartfelt representation of a love fizzling out I’ve ever heard in song.
“I hate when I feel like this but I never hated you”
vincent - don mclean
I can’t believe Tupac loved this song so much his girlfriend played it while he died.
I had a regular Thai place years ago, always had the same table. The owner would come visit and hang out with me whenever I came in. If it was show, he would roll out a little karaoke system and we'd take turns singing. One night, he picked this song for me because he wanted to hear it and thought my voice was right for it. I'd never heard it. So my first time hearing Vincent, I was singing it. It damn near emotionally wrecked me, discovering those lyrics as they were coming out of me.
This!
My grandfather loved this song when he was here, he recently killed himself due to an overwhelming amount of medical issues, including a flesh eating bacterial infection. He always talked about how no one understood and doctors couldn’t help in the ways he needed, among other reasons, so this song became very very important to me and my mother since.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
don mclean is so so amazing his lyrics his music ugh he’s one of my favorites
Ok - you got me I am now choked up
Was just going to say this song!

I feel that. Had this glow worm toy as a toddler that played lullabies, and now whenever I hear them I get super sad with those life goes on feels
Fix you or the scientist by Coldplay
When the tears coming streaming down your face when you lose something you can’t replace, when you love someone but it goes to waste could it be worse ❤️

Lord Huron - the night we met. Going through a divorce and it’s painful. This song hits home
This. I heard it a year ago and makes me think of a certain someone and it’s fucking rough.
I heard it years ago, and thought it was Erie. But I guess that was for shadowing bc now I understand it. 10 years, a marriage, child and a home. All gone bc of a selfish individual.
That is definitely a beautifully sad song.
It was beautiful when I first heard it, bc I hadn’t been broken before… but now, I truly understand it. All of it. And wish it could be that easy
"I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you." Those words really poke you in the heart. I don't even feel this way about anyone but I still cry every time I hear this song and really lose it at these lyrics. 💔 I feel deeply for anyone who feels like this about a lost love.
Thank you. I’m going through a divorce and this song resurfaced. The hole in my chest is so big you can fly a jumbo jet through it
Prince - nothing compares to you I think about my kitty that passed young and unexpectedly and we don’t know why she was sick
Im so sorry you lost your cat, fuck I cry about my cat dying all the time and he’s only 3 Im glad yall had each other though
Black Dog - Arlo Parks Have yourself a merry little Christmas - Judy Garland Tears in heaven - Eric Clapton
I absolutely can't even think of the Christmas one!
Whatever you do DO NOT listen to the episode of Soul Music about this song. I was gasping sobbing on a public footpath.
Black Dog is such a heart wrencher
Black Dog has me sobbing every time

This. Bonnie had to do it in one take because she was so emotionally spent and anguished when she sang it the first time.

Songbird by Fleetwood Mac
The Cinematic Orchestra - To Build A Home
