NIN must have been ecstatic when cash redid hurt.

I knew Tears in Heaven had to be on this list. I was eight years old when Cats in the Cradle came out. It had a big influence on my parenting style as an adult. I always made time for my children, no matter what, and now, they always make time for me. I have a teenage granddaughter now. I can see that my daughter and son in law are doing the same thing. Things really do roll forward to the next generation. The Johnny Cash version of Hurt was very different from the original. From NIN, it was a whiny drug addicted kid. From Johnny Cash, it was a 70 year old man looking back on a lifetime of regrets. Absolutely beautiful.

The most gut-wrenchingly painful song for me to listen to is Don McLean’s “Vincent”, a song about Vincent Van Gogh’s tortured life and his suicide: My lifelong friend - a wonderful but deeply troubled person - took his own life twelve years ago, and I’ve never been the same since. In a way, he killed both of us on that day. His name was Vincent too, and this song shakes me to my core every time I make the mistake of listening to it.

Oh yes!

"Faithfully" by Journey, and DON'T LAUGH. Dad was in the Army Nurse Corps, and when we were stationed overseas, one of his annual duties was making sure everyone in the region got their flu shots. And there were a LOT of outlying posts in the area, so Dad would be gone for a couple months straight every autumn. So, one day toward the end of one of those long flu shot seasons, we were driving over to the Exchange, and "Faithfully" comes on the American radio station just out of nowhere. And I just...I lost it. I missed my Dad. Song still gets my waterworks going to this day. "Seasons Change" by Exposé. Again with the Army brat sads: we PCS'ed Stateside in '87, and a few months later, I got a letter from one of my old friends at Dad's last duty station. It would turn out to be the last contact we'd ever have: this was, don't forget, before the internet. So, I'm reading this letter, and, yup, "Seasons Change" comes on the radio, with predictable results. (My crazy luck with random songs on the radio is a bit of a personal running gag.)

“Everybody Hurts”- cannot listen to this song anymore. It’s beautiful but a couple of years ago my grown son got a Great Dane puppy. When it was 4 months old we had to rush him to the vet emergency room. We thought it was Parvo but he tested negative several times. He looked so very sick and pitiful. We had to leave him there for several days while they tried to find out what was wrong and tried to help him. It was hard on my son having to leave him there. One day they said he was doing better so I figured we’d probably get to pick him up the next day. I called one more time that night to check on him but the vet said the puppy’s health was again declining. On my way home from work “Everybody Hurts” came on the radio and I remember just bawling my eyes out, singing along. Thinking of this precious 4 month old puppy, scared and sick and alone in a kennel at the vet. He didn’t understand why we’d left him there and it broke my heart thinking of how he was feeling. The lyrics “if you feel like you’ve had enough, of this life, hold on” really got to me and I was belting them out, singing to the dog in my heart begging him to be ok. The next morning my son came in my room in tears. The vet had called him to say that his puppy didn’t make it. We were crushed and that song reminds me of him and I just can’t listen without crying. We love you Berus. Story number 2 nobody asked for: the song “When She Loved Me” from Toy Story 2 has always killed me. I have 2 grown sons who are and have always been my whole world. When they were little and we’d watch Toy Story 1 and 2 all the time this song would make me very emotional. It made me think about the future and that one day my little boys would grow up, not need me anymore, not feel the same way about me as they did at the time when they were little. It hurt my heart because I related so much to the lyrics even though it hadn’t happened to me yet and they were still “mama’s boys”. Now they are in their 20s. I still love them more every day but that song hurts even more now because I now have lived through that part of life. I have a 2 year old granddaughter now whom I treasure with all of my being. I look at her sometimes though and think about that one day too she will grow up and no longer need me and no longer love me the way she loves me now. I’m thankful for every age and stage of my children’s and grandchildren’s lives and I’m blessed to be a part of that. I just miss the special time I had with them when they were little and how close we were. #3 “Mah’s Joint.” My youngest son had this song on a playlist and it would make me sad because I was worried that one day soon I’d be able to relate to the singer’s pov. Several years later my amazing and beautiful 95 year old grandmother did end up getting dementia among some other health problems and unfortunately had to go live in a nursing home. She hated it and asked to go home every day. We just were not equipped with everything needed to be capable of caring for her at her home anymore. Every day my mother went to see her at the nursing home. She spent hours every day taking care of my grandmother, her mother. In short “my mother was a mother to her mom”, just as the lyrics said. We lost our family matriarch this Feb 2024 and I still miss her every day. I was a teenager-young adult when my grandmother, mother and I used to go visit my great grandmother in the nursing home. She too had dementia and I’d watch my grandmother with her. Then it’s like everyone swapped roles, my grandmother became the one in the nursing home who had dementia, my mother took over the role my grandmother had been in(caring for her own mother) and I took the role my mother had had as my own children now took on the role I had when my great grandmother was in a nursing home. It’s like a very sad, emotional cycle that I don’t want to continue but as my mother is 74 herself and has been showing signs of early dementia (in my opinion-she has not been diagnosed and I pray I’m wrong) for several years, it looks like one day she will take the part of the grandmother with dementia in the nursing home and I’ll be the daughter being a mother to her mom and so on. I hope not. Yeah but anyway very emotional song for sure I can’t even begin to listen to anything on Bowie’s last album. I’m 43 and I have loved and adored David Bowie since I was in middle school. He got me through some really hard times dealing with my father. I cried when I found out Bowie had passed away and every time I’ve attempted to listen to his last body of work I can’t do it. It’s too painful. Queen’s “Nobody but You”. Oh my gosh. Queen is my favorite band and Freddie Mercury means more to me than any stranger has a right too. I absolutely love and adore him and song, written for Freddie by his bandmates after his death, absolutely pulls the heartstrings apart

Let me call out just a handful of songs to accompany your already worthy list: Carpenters… “Rainy Days and Mondays”, “Superstar” and “Yesterday Once More”; Simon & Garfunkel… “Bookends”, “I am a Rock” and “El Condor Pasa”; Bette Midler… “The Rose”, “Wind Beneath My Wings”, “In My Life” (Beatles), “I Think It’s Going to Rain Today”; Jim Croce… Gordon Lightfoot… Lady Gaga… just too many others to list - need a new video of “Top 100 Sad Songs” 😢😊❤

I always Cry to When She Loved Me from Toy Story 2 😢😭, that's Sarah McChlachlan's best Song

Elvis’ “In the Ghetto” and Craig Morgan’s “The Father, My Son, and The Holy Ghost” deserve a mention as well!

Sarah McLachlan is from my province - Nova Scotia - and she performed "Angel" in the aftermath of the mass shooting that took place here on April 18 & 19, 2020. It was the worst mass shooting in all of Canadian history. I have always loved the song but now I can't hear it without bawling, and thinking about all of the 22 innocent lives lost that horrible weekend. "A Reason to Fight" by Disturbed is a firm, and tear-jerking reminder to keep fighting no matter what, and a tribute to those we've lost. So is "Hold on to Memories", which is hauntingly beautiful. "The Sound of Silence" is beautiful whether it's the original or Disturbed's version. "Fast Car" was popular when I was in my teens... It's just as relevant today as it was back then, and it's so great to see people enjoying it and loving it again. It's a beautiful song, and Ms. Chapman has an amazing voice. Of course, "My Immortal" is one of my favorite songs of all time. Amy Lee has an incredible vocal range, and that song is perfect in my opinion.

This list could be full of Springsteen songs, but not having Streets of Philadelphia is ridiculous

If you've ever lost a loved one to Alzheimer's then Glen Campbell's " I'm Not Gonna Miss You" will definitely hit home.

"Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman- Steven wrote the song about sweet moments he wishes he could've had with his adopted daughter that died in a tragic accident 3. "Whiskey Lullaby" by Brad Paisely and Allison Kraus

That is one gruesome/sad song.

@Kr0N05 But beautifully written. Mind you, she kept getting into trouble for singing it.

While Everybody Hurts is beautiful, I can’t hear it anymore without tearing up. For the funeral of my father we picked the song… you can imagine how my family would respond to this.

I would never claim one version excels another, especially where Simon & Garfunkel are concerned, but Disturbed's version of the Sound of Silence resonates with me today more than the original I grew up with.

Here's my top 3 honorable mention: James Blunt Monsters #3 Tracy Chapman Fast Car #2 Nina Simone Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood #1 Roberta Flack The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face (RIP Mimi 🕊🙏 I miss you every day 😪)

Tracy Chapman is on this list. 🤔

My Immortal should be number one!!

Elton John's "The Last Song", Barbra Streisand's "Places That Belong To You", "Send In The Clowns", "The Way We Were", Karen Carpenter"s voice in "Yesterday Once More" , "Yesterday When I Was Young" by Dusty Springfield or Charles Aznavour, Christina Aguilera's "Hurt", Don McLean's "Vincent", to name but a few! Thank you for the list!!!

10,000 Days by TOOL is a song that hits me pretty hard. One of their most emotional songs, and the story behind it is something that a lot of people can relate to.

“Zombie” by The Cranberries and “Russians” by Sting are both great songs that always hit me in the feels. “Zombie” is about the horrors that occur in war, specifically children being senselessly killed in the Irish civil war of the 20th century. “Russians” is about the fear of nuclear war during the Cold War and how the world leaders were playing a very dangerous game of poker. It tells us the Russian citizens were not monsters like the propaganda machine told us, but instead humanized them by reminding us that the Russians love their children too and that they also fear a nuclear apocalypse.

"Let It Be" can make you feel emotional especially when it plays at the end of Ken Burns' documentary about the Vietnam War.

Anytime I sing along to Hurt, I always tear up near the end

One More Light is definitely Chester’s song now, you’ll forever be in our hearts 🖤🕊️

It still hits the feels and pulls on the heartstrings to this day. I get goosebumps every time.

The Show Must Go On and My Heart Will Go On are my absolute top tearjerkers.

I agree with Show, but Heart has unfortunately been played out too much to the point where the jaw dropping power of it has be blunted.

Honorable mentions (in my opinion): Passing Afternoon-Iron and Wine Pete Yorn- Lose Ya Jimmy Eat World- Hear You Me The Fray- How to Save a Life

And Rihanna - Lift Me Up

Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman gets me every time. As a dad with two daughters, I hope I've done a good job raising them.

Nazareth's cover of "Love Hurts" gets me sometimes.

I know a lot of people will not know the song but "Smile" by Charlie Chapman always makes me cry when it is played. It has been sung over the years my many singers.
