Apologies if this Is upsetting for some people, but which song makes you cry the most? I have 3, Heaven (Candlelight Mix) by DJ Sammy and both versions of Run (by Snow Patrol and Leona Lewis of course)

    If it catches me at the wrong moment, "Happier Than Ever" by Billie Eilish. But the longer version, not the one that's been cut in half.

    It hasn't made me cry - but it does hit me in the emotional ballsack every time I listen to it...

    The fact that it came out in 2020, during the middle of lockdown. It was such a nice escape, but also very raw. It really resonated with me for a few reasons throughout the entire year.

    I can't say what song makes me cry the most, but the newest one to add to the list of songs that make me cry is this song here. It starts at the 1:19 mark of the clip.

    God bless you always!!!

    Holly (a girl who will forever love the late beautiful precious masterpiece of a gentleman who sings the song)

    From the Mary Poppins soundtrack, a lullaby called "Stay Awake" makes me cry even when I just think about it. In fact, I'm welling-up now as I type this.
    My late Mother used to sing that song to me as a small child before I went to sleep. I sang it to her recently as she was on her death bed. The very last time I saw her.

    Feed the birds from Mary poppins as well is a bit of a tear jerker. Sorry to hear about your mum.

    I dislike the Eva Cassidy version of it, but that seems to be the tune most folk sing it to nowadays. Judy Garland all the way.

    A strange one but Reputation by Dusty Springfield always does it to me. More recently Don’t Shut Me Down by ABBA but that’s not sad tears.

    Only one song can make me cry and it is the epic, The Poet and the Pendulum by Nightwish, all 14 minutes or so
    The lyrics are incredible, written by the bands leader telling of his suicidal thoughts after the band fired the original lead singer
    This version is truly epic especially Part 5 Mother and Father, the sheer raw emotion is very evident. It starts off very quietthen takes you on an emotional roller coaster
    The lighting a screen graphics are outstanding. The leader singer here is arguably the best female vocalist of the moment.
    Enjoy and dont forget the hankies

    Edit

    Just rewatched and I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face. As a 60+ year old bloke did not think that would be possible from a piece of music

    I went to see a play based on The Wizard of Oz at the West Yorkshire Playhouse back in 2020 (it was before the first COVID lockdown) with my sister, and when the actress playing the main character (who's name forgets me now) sang this, I just had a flashback to when Ariana Grande did it at the Manchester concert in 2017, so I nearly burst into tears when this came on.

    Sounds interesting, will put it on my playlist.
    I don't see why you think it's weird that music has that effect on you. Some music makes me happy, some sad, miserable...

    Thanks. Her passing was a blessing after her suffering with dementia for many years.
    "Feed The Birds" has the same effect on me too xx

    They never used to. Sadly, they do now.

    Cash’s version of You Are My Sunshine is a good one for making me feel emotional.
