You're Breakin' My Heart by Harry Nilsson. :flipoff2:


You're breakin' my heart
You're tearin' it apart
So ***** you
All I want to do
Is have a good time
Now I'm blue

You wanna boogaloo
Run down to Tramps
Have a dance or two--ooh!

You're breaking my heart
You're tearin' it apart
But ***** you
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearin' it apart
Ooh!--ooh!--

You stepped on my ass
You're breaking my glasses too

You wanna drive my car
Buy a lot of stuff
I've had enough
Of you--ooh!
I'm goin' insane
There's no one to blame
So ***** you

You've gotta have your way
There's nothin' left to say
There's nothin' left to do--ooh!
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearin' it apart
So ***** you

You've gotta have your way
There's nothin' left to say
There's nothin' left to do--ooh!
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearin' it apart
But I love you

[Gags]

Stevie Nicks - anything she does.

[Leon Phelps]

Lil Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart

:flipoff2:

Billy Joel - Piano Man; brings some nasty memories back, but still lyrical genius.

[JKTODD]

Some country should be banned.

Alyssa Lies is one of them.

And that one about the soldier coming home in a box. I don't know who sings it but that song pisses me off. :mad:

[Jake_Blues]

"Mama come quick" - Toby Keith
"Alyssa lies" - Jason Michael Carroll

Ummm, those are the only two that leap to mind.

[ColoradoSkier]

Add It Up - Violent Femmes

"A Place Called Home" by Kim Richey
"Feels Like Home" - Chantal Kreviazuk

[Loki]

The Dance...Garth Brooks.

Hey Rebel - I almost, almost ended up with a new Male Malamute pup....- but I ran out of the pet store before I could give in.

Hijack over!

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata

[scottycards]

I'll put this link up, but only with a warning that IT IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART.

This is some incredibly sad stuff. It's about child abuse. If you don't want to cry and feel miserable, it's probably best not to watch it.

The song is called "Dear Mr. Jesus" and deals with child abuse.

It will make you cry. It will make you angry.

[theirishavenger]

Mine's along the same lines..... Runaway Train by Soul Asylum. Esp. if you've seen the video to it.

[FJBen]

Dunno about tears me up, but goosebumps for sure

SRV- Little Wing just listening with headphones on ...niiiice


Oh and Somewhere Over the Rainbow/Wonderful World by IZ (although not as much now that I'm playing it on my Ukulele :) )
http://youtube.com/watch?v=5neuWiAlpm4

[thenimirra]

oooh Runaway Train is good one too.

[Bauer]

White & Nerdy by Weird Al..

My life summed up in 3 minutes of lyrical genius?


:(

[HaySeed77]

This is my Aunt Katie that passed away back in October. I would say it qualifies.

[ni0h]

SRV- Little Wing just listening with headphones on ...niiiice


Makes me want to play guitar (still no dexterity, though).

I got to hear Eric Tessmer play that in a little dive in Austin last year. I think that kid's the love child of Hendrix and SRV.

Oh, and I'm such a nerd - "Don't Answer Me", by Alan Parsons Project.

[thenimirra]

ok stop...no more sad songs. :(

[scottycards]

"Cat's in the Cradle" by ???

Harry Chapin.

[CherryokeeXJ]

Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" gets me watery eyed every time I hear it. Call me a patriotic sap.

I, too, have to put a vote in for Garth's "The Dance". My Dad listened to it a lot after my parent's divorce, and it always kinda time warps me back to that time.

[RebelRescuer]

This one gets me every. single. time.

Oh my hell.
:lmao:

[Steve]

Butterfly Kisses. No idea who did it, but it was popular when our daughter got married and they played it at the reception when I danced with her.

Walking your daughter down the aisle is one of the coolest and hardest things you could ever do.

[CherryokeeXJ]

What's that Christmas song about the little boy that wants to buy his mama shoes but doesn't have the money? You know, she's dying and he says he wants her to look nice when she meets Jesus?

Yep. I'm a wuss.

[CLYDE]

Led Zeppelins "Thank You"

[JKTODD]

NWA's 100 Miles and Running----gets me everytime....:(



Okay J/k but I had to lighten the mood. Some of the songs listed here are just too damned sad.

[Leon Phelps]

Pink Floyd's - I Wish You Were Here

Brings me to tears.

[jeeplvr79]

Ok just glad I waited til I got home to open this thread :(

I lost my dad way too early in 2000 so every time I hear Dance With My Father and any songs like that I cry like a baby.

Harry Chapin.

Yup x2

Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" gets me watery eyed every time I hear it. Call me a patriotic sap.

Now another one that get's me, only because of personal meaning.

"Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" by Traffic.

[Jeff Mason]

Roses for Mama. CW McCall

[Waifer2112]

O.K., for reals this time...


Stop Swimming by Porcupine Tree.

If you've had suicidal thoughts before, you'll "get" this song.


And X2 on Cat's in the Cradle and Wish You Were Here.

[Bauer]

Ok so Weird Al isn't my choice..


I lost some great friends in the last 2 years or so... Sucked..

The first one is my buddy that died of Brain Cancer at the ripe old age of 33
He wasn't big on religon but this was played as we layed him to rest.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S70gwFcSK9k

A year later I had a great friend take his own life for reasons I'll never know. This was the last song he put on his Myspace page the day before.. (he was only 22)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2NYWmS9uSs

I miss both of them deeply.. If you ever wheel with me and wonder what the stickers on the back of my jeep that are

MKW

and

B

now you know why.. :(

[Warrlord]

Go ahead, be sappy.

What's the one song that tears your heart out? The one that leaves you crying in your beer?


For me, it's this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLyKEToqME0. It was played at my mom's funeral in '06 & it still gets me every single time I hear it :(

[SatansFaith]

In Pictures - Alabama

Leave - Glen Hansard

Goodbye, My Lover - James Blunt

[bigblackrubicon]

Ben Folds Five...I think the song is called BRICK, it is about him and his girlfriend, they go and get an abortion and are both pretty wrecked afterwards, and this song captures the mood.

Its a true story about the lead singer, he and his girlfriend actually did do that.

It gets me sad and angry at the same time to think that people would kill their own children....at least in the song he concedes to some feelings of regret...

[rubbersidedown]

Who you'd be today (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaN2o_uOF_I). gets me every time! :(

[LONEWOLF]

Anniess song= John Denver
My sweet Lady= John Denver

[deadjeep]

Just read through this thread and clicked on most of the songs. Complete moodkill.

Don't know what you got 'til its gone - Cinderella
What might have been - Little Texas

Both were there at pivotal points in my life.

[YJgirl]

Its extremely difficult for me to listen to anything Metallica. Metallica was my lil bro's favorite band, I played it at his funeral. I just really can't deal with any song by them anymore without turning into a faucet.

Love me when I'm gone = Three Doors Down - same reason, reminds me of Chuck.

Lay me down= Tim McGraw

and I'll admit... the Star Spangled Banner often brings a tear to the eye. This country has gone through so much, and to think of what that song ment over 200 year ago and still rings true today. WOW.


see, i'm a sap at heart.

"The Christmas Shoes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpkI7GW2V34)" gets me every time. Reminds me of my Mother and her 20 year battle with cancer.

Taps... had to hear that at the funeral of a 29 year old co-workers funeral after he got smashed by a piece he was welding on.

There are a few others as well.
