What was the last song you wept to?

also waterworks:
'professional daydreamer'
by Over the Rhine

all-time champ for me
is "see you next lifetime" by
Erykah Badu

Of course, when i last saw Bjork live, i cried through the whole show.

read X-Ray and you will find out the reason why you should cry every time you hear that song (and then even later period material like "come dancing" and "don't forget to dance" will suddenly make a whole lot of sense/bring you to your knees).

I was looking out on my roof last night
Woken up from a dream
Saw a typhoon coming in close
Bringing the clouds down to the sea
Making the world look gray and alone
Taking all light from my view
Keeping everyone in
Keeping me here with you

Around you now
I can't sleep no more, baby
Around you now
Don't wanna leave ya

Woken up from a dream last night
Somewhere lost in war
Couldn't feel my feet or hands
Didn't feel right anymore
Knew there I'd die alone
With no one to reach to
Then an angel came down
And brought me back to you

I'd rather leave this world forever, baby
Then let life go the way it's going

Watching an old fight film last night
Ray Mancini and Duk Koo Kim
The boy from Seoul was hanging on good
But the pounding it took to him
There in the square he laid alone
Without face; without crown
And the angels who looked upon
They never came down

You never know what day is gonna pick you, baby
Out of the air; out of nowhere

Oh, come to me once more my love
Show me love I've never known
Oh, come to me once more my love
Show me love I've never known
Come to me once more my love
Show me love I've never known
Come to me once more my love
Show me love I've never known

Sing to me once more my love
Words from your younger years
Sing to me once more my love
Words from your younger years
Come to me once more my love

"Close the window, calm the light, and it will be alright, no need to bother now, let it out, let it all begin, owe it to the wind my love."

So, Boz Scaggs S/D?

Because of the title and Beatles appropriation, I read the song as a perspective/betterment on Oasis and Britpop.

I've never sung this song in my life because it's not our song, it's Liverpool's and it's also a shite song

oh and the first time i heard that silly "silent night/news report" thing by simon & garfunkel i fell to the floor and wept for a little hour. "last" time i wept was probably to cheree by suicide but it was late and tipsy.

every frickin time.

i think it was a couple of years ago at the funeral of my godfather when two of my cousins played the first movement of bachs first violin concert.

Scott walker - it’s raining today

can’t remember why

Recently, "Gone" by Charlie XCX. I was totally caught off guard by that. Tears of joy.

*Charli

Mariah Carey - "Hero"

Less the song and more me not taking my meds one day and it taking me back to my teens and me realizing I'm almost middle aged now

Not a joke, i was weeping to everything on my Spotify playlist, even Taylor Dayne

Rainer Bruninghaus - "Strahlenspur"
Gottsching/Ashra - "Sunrain"

Rainer Bruninghaus - "Strahlenspur"

Beautiful song.

Solomon Burke - Don’t Give Up On Me, when Wendell Pierce picked it on Desert Island Discs.

“Who Knows Where the Time Goes” - introducing my daughter to the music of Sandy Denny with way too much wine in me

sandy denny's voice alone is indeed quite tear-inducing for me too and especially that song.

The Stone Rosees - Fools Gold

holidays are over

Folk songs, all the time.

Between the end of Fools Gold and the start of Bohemian Rhapsody in the cafe, the cold hard facts of life hit me. I would be hearing these two songs every day for the rest of my life. Go to another cafe you might say. Its not that simple

What was the last song you slept to?

#xmas2017

I’ve probably heard this 6 times (mostly on Spotify) this holiday season. Laughed at it the first 3 times as millennial tripe, then secretly liked it the next couple times. This time, now that I’m away from my family, it snuck up on me and got me good.

adam driver singing in Marriage Story tbh

I've never not wept to a song

i didn't like openly weep or anything but i was in nashville last weekend and we went into a honky tonk where a trad. duo were playing and they covered "i'm so lonesome i could cry" and i got pretty blubbery.

a propos nashville, pedal steel guitar together with accordion (after that violin) are the two instruments that make my eyes wet the most often.

i cry to music so often i can't remember the last time it happened. i almost never cry to *not*-music.

on any given night there's a very good chance that the last song I've slept to is by zimoun

There is something about 'Rue the Day' by the Walkmen that catches me by surprise and kicks my legs out from me every single time I hear it:

There's a miracle in
Going way too long and way too strong
Twisting all the bad things into good
I'm a lucky guy, now
But I never know it til it's gone

Just typing out the gahdamn lyrics puts a lump in my throat.

Jobriath's 'Street Corner Love' - a light fluffy song about casual sex that drops the line "love me like we never met" out of nowhere.

Neil Diamond's "Cracklin' Rosie" - the title refers to a bottle of cheap(ish) wine, which I'd only just found out.

Never knew that either.

That makes at lease two Neil Diamond songs about drinking alcohol to try and forget about your problems.

A fine subject for a song.

did any of you catch those copyright-extension rolling stones tracks that were dumped on youtube on the 1st? they're gone now but a judicious search of iorr.org will lead you to them. anyway the demo version of "ruby tuesday" is for the ages. there's a fierce debate on that site over whether the prominent piano is played by brian jones or nicky hopkins.

Well, tough day but Judee Sill just broke me.

ugh that particular performance slays me

Emperor, "Thus Spake the Nightspirit" live last night.

FUCK YOU, YOU WEREN'T THERE!
