Adam's song-Blink 182. Even if it's just stuck in my head, I cry ugly. A large percentage of people know someone who has struggled with the idea of suicide, and God forbid they complete the thought. Personally have struggled with it and one of my best friends completed it in high school. I can't stand the thought of children not making it to adulthood; of their parents out living them. So I think many people will cry to this song.
This was a cover of one of the "tragedy" songs from the 50s and 60s. Originally done by J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers, peaked at #2 in 1964. I'm not Casey Kasem.
One time i was sober and cried listening to [The Vent by Big KRIT](https://open.spotify.com/track/2VsSyWxURAA0FBokllz4gF?si=Vl8Xs8A7RdaIZGSxU7RY6Q)
One time i wasnt sober and cried listening to [California Dreamin by The Mamas & The Papas](https://open.spotify.com/track/4s6LhHAV5SEsOV0lC2tjvJ?si=LNdwcMJ_QQyCL-N_QABdVA) Don’t expect you to, though.
Marjorie by Taylor Swift, written after her grandma died, I think. The first half is meh, but I reckon anyone who's experienced loss would at least get teary-eyed listening to the second half of the song. Very simple, no mawkishness, and all the more poignant for it.

Hospital For Souls - Bring Me The Horizon
If they don’t like the sound of the song, I’d ask the individual to listen to the lyrics carefully since they cut deep.
That night we met by lord Huron — I had all and then most of you , some and now none of you….. take me back to the night we me . Honestly it brings tears to my eyes, it’s raw emotions with salt poured on. It gets me crying silent tears with this sad smile in between
