Music to make you cry, compiling a little playlist and need some inspiration. looking for mostly stuff that sounds a bit like this....



(singer / songwriter stuff I guess?)

Traci Chapman's 'Fast Car' and 'Talkin Bout a Revolution' kill me every time.

 

[moody]

fast car is a great tune but looking for more stripped down stuff.

Tom Waits is a good one for emotional, sad, nostalgic, wistful.

Well I think this is a very weepy song. It has that judder in the bass and the high vocals. It does the trick, but it's also a bit what it says on the tin - not about anything in particular. But then that's exactly what you need when you need it.

I only 'discovered' this recently...What a 10/10 tears machine, but with hints of triumphant positivity threaded through. Probably on the playlist for my funeral, just to make sure people appear upset

I was lead to the Proclaimers song from here - it's turned into Hib's terrace song, and a few years back they won the cup with a last minute goal... Just imagine being a Hibs fan there at that moment

Don’t think I find it sad as such, rather, powerfully bleak. I love it!
