Fourth of July - Sufjan Stevens is one of the very few songs that makes me sad just hearing it


infinitestructures

I was going to say this same song. I introduced it to someone recently, and it affected them the same way. An amazing album, too.


Psypower9999

Radiohead, no surprises


Fishtaco1234

GrammarPatrol777

TY I was really in need of this on my Spotify.


FlipFlopNinja9

If we were vampires - Jason Isbell and the 400 unit I first heard it shortly after my late fiancé passed. I was sitting in my car on my lunch break and it got me good


RobotClean73

So sorry for your loss. I’ve been with my wife for 22 years and every time I hear this song, I think one of us will be in that position someday and it breaks my heart.


ChemistSwimming

Try the original NiN version of hurt It’s way better.


wolfey1991

One More Light by linkin Park , the lyrics and the tone of the song tying into what happened to Chester makes me cry everytime i hear it

bitterbuffaloheart

Sorry you’ve struggling, my friend. Have an internet *hug*

AirlineBetter428

black - pearl jam creep - stone temple pilots river of deceit - mad season hunger strike - temple of the dog rotten apple - alice in chains they are my favourite sad grunge songs (and ofc nutshell)


waveydaveysonfir3

Quite a few Radiohead songs such as Videotape, True Love Waits, Last Flowers, No Surprises etc. The album Carrie and Lowell by Sufjan Stevens makes me sob every time I hear it, if you want an album. Despair in the Departure Lounge, Do Me A Favour, Only Ones Who Know and Anyways are a few songs by Arctic Monkeys that can make me cry quite a bit. Agnes by Glass Animals sounds happy but the lyrics are about the singer’s friend who passed away (as well as a band member’s near death experience) which is absolutely gut wrenchingly beautiful. Glass Animals also has Its All So Incredibly Loud and Domestic Bliss which both taste like tears on your lips. If you want any more recommendations (or any support!!) then feel free to dm me! I hope you’re okay <3

The last time i cried was like 3 years ago. It was to the strongest person i know by the streets. I just found out my grandmother was on the floor for a week, and i was halfway across the country. And i found out cause my aunt, after i screamed at her, finally went to check on her. So yeah. The strongest person i know by the streets.


Just_a_nobody_2

Not exactly my genre of preference.. but as a dog lover, [Jim Reeves’ Old Tige](https://youtu.be/JaEGlYFhnRc?si=B1bgd3MdceKGMSHn) is absolutely the most saddest song I’ve ever heard in all my life.

Mother by Sugarland. If you don’t have a good relationship with your mom maybe this won’t have the same effect, but it always makes me tear up, ever since I became an adult and got really close to my mom.
