What are the songs you love that you listen to knowing they are probably going to make you sad but you listen to them anyway?

My best friend from highschool passed away when Hear You Me (May Angels Lead You In) - Jimmy Eat World came out.  I can't hear that song without tearing up.  

And Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton.  It played at another friend's funeral

Sorry you lost friends at such an early age.  Tears in Heaven gets me as well.

I realized the older I get, the more people I lose.

I love the Johnny Cash cover of "Hurt".

I know it will make me a little sad and reminisce, but man I love his version.

I'm pretty sure there is a joke about reading the obituaries, but I am to lazy to google it.

Egad, how can one have a favorite of something that makes them sad?  Besides all of you...and me....

Can I post my response later tomorrow, because now I'm going to go through some sad songs that I like listening to and pick out my "favorite".  Ugh.

Ah come on, you know right now, what is that sad song that gets to you the most. Call that one your favorite.

This is a sad song I reckon. I find it very sobering. 

 

Slim Shady seems to do quite a few sad songs that are really very good, like 25 to life, or love the way you lie but too many profanities in 25 to life to post here in a family forum ..........

I have been getting into some Mike Posner lately, this is a great song, and pretty sad lyric too about a burnt out singer who ended up lonely.

Love that song, it is part II of this...

Both are among my favorites. Apocalyptica does a lot of covers, and as I love the cello, I tend to listen to them a lot.

I take back what I wrote earlier about not being impacted by sad songs. I just remembered one that made me cry my heart out when I was little. I'll spare you the kids' versions.

Hank Williams did it first, this is the Roy Forbes version.

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill,
He sounds too blue to fly.
The midnight train is whining low,
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by.
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and cry.

 

Doesn't get much sadder than that. :(
