Name a song that breaks your heart.
Lofi, stop taking my ideas !
Bob Dylan covering Johnny Cash's Train of love :
I love the original, but Johnny Cash's cover is sadder to me, because I know it was right after his wife died, and there is such a sadness in his voice, it makes me feel so bad for him.
This is the saddest song I've ever heard:
"Disappear" by Dream Theater
Why, tell me the reasons why
Try, still I don't understand
Will I ever feel this again
Blue sky, I'll meet you in the end
Free them, free the memories of you
Free me, and rest 'til I'm with you
A day like today
My whole world has been changed
Nothing you say
Will help ease my pain
Turn, I'll turn this slowly round
Burn, burn to feel alive again
She, she'd want me to move on
See me, this place I still belong
Give chase, to find more than I have found
And face, this time now on my own
Days disappear
And my world keeps changing
I feel you here
And it keeps me sane
So I'm moving on
I'll never forget
As you lay there and watched me
Accepting the end
I knew you were scared
You were strong I was trying
I gave you my hand
I said it's okay letting go time to leave here
And I'll carry on
The best that I can without you here beside me
Let him come take you home
Gus Gus
Polydistortion (1997)
Is Jesus your pal ?
Is Jesus your pal?
Do you call out his name,
when your concience is shivering?
Do you need someone too,
just like those people who
find peace in someone's promises?
You sure don't need my promises...
So come and sit on my box,
enjoy the view of this water,
where my lifeboat is sinking.
If you open your eyes,
take a look at this mess,
could you fake your reflection, child?
If you reach out for more,
you'll find nothing but sorrow.
'Cause knowledge is hollow.
And pride is hard to swallow.
So come and sit on my box,
take a view of this water,
where my lifeboat is sinking.
Also, Ave Maria makes me cry, like, instantly.
Oh, and the Sinead O'Conner version of Molly Malone.

Patrick Swayze - She's Like The Wind
She's like the wind through my tree
She rides the night next to me
She leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
She's taken my heart
But she doesn't know what she's done
Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind
[SOLO]
I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself
That she'll stop the pain
Living without her
I'd go insane
Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind
Feel your breath on my face
Your body close to me
Can't look in your eyes
You're out of my league
Just a fool to believe
(Just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
(Just a fool to believe)
Just a fool to believe
(She's like the wind)
Just a fool to believe
(Just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
(Just a fool to believe)
Just a fool to believe
She's like the wind
(Just a fool...)
(She's like the wind)
(She's like the wind)
(Just a fool...)
(She's like the wind)
(Just a fool...)

Samson--Regina Spektor
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didnt mention us
The bible didnt mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first , I loved you first
Beneath the stars came falling on our heads
But they're just old light
They're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors and the yellow light
He told me that I'd done alright
and kissed me till the morning light the morning light
and he kissed me till the morning light
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonder bread
and went right back to bed
We couldn't break the columns down
No, we couldn't destroy a single one
and the history books forgot about us
and the bible didnt mention us
not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first
The unreleased demo version is infinitely better, but I couldn't find a video of it.
Bonnie Tyler - Eclipse of the Heart
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didnt mention us
The bible didnt mention us, not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first , I loved you first
Beneath the stars came falling on our heads
But they're just old light
They're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met
Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors and the yellow light
He told me that I'd done alright
and kissed me till the morning light the morning light
and he kissed me till the morning light
Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonder bread
and went right back to bed
We couldn't break the columns down
No, we couldn't destroy a single one
and the history books forgot about us
and the bible didnt mention us
not even once
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

Great song, but pretty much anything Regina Spektor does is great.
Fred Jones Part 2 by Ben Folds
Fred sits alone at his desk in the dark
There's an awkward young shadow that waits in the hall
He's cleared all his things and he's put them in boxes
Things that remind him: 'Life has been good'
Twenty-five years
He's worked at the paper
A man's here to take him downstairs
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
It's time
There was no party, there were no songs
'Cause today's just a day like the day that he started
No one is left here that knows his first name
And life barrels on like a runaway train
Where the passengers change
They don't change anything
You get off; someone else can get on
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
It's time
Streetlight shines through the shades
Casting lines on the floor, and lines on his face
He reflects on the day
Fred gets his paints out and goes to the basement
Projecting some slides onto a plain white
Canvas and traces it
Fills in the spaces
He turns off the slides, and it doesn't look right
Yeah, and all of these bastards
Have taken his place
He's forgotten but not yet gone
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
And I'm sorry, Mr. Jones
It's time
Sleepwalk- Santo & Johnny.... Yes, it IS partially becuase of the movie La Bamba
Maybe this Time- (Caberet) Natasha Richardson...i think the lyrics are sad in a pitiful kinda way... espically what with how the story ends...
Thank Girl has Love- Rooney
Screaming Infidelities- Dashboard Confessional
i'm a terrible person, in more ways than one.
this song kills me. i think its way better than the johnny cash version.
so many elliott smith songs break my heart.
same goes for sparklehorse.
I can't find a video anywhere, and I had to type the lyrics out because I couldn't find them, either, but Brian Keane's "I Ain't Even Lonely" is one of those songs that makes me pause every time I listen to it to think, wow, that's fucking harsh, and makes me sad that I relate to it so well.
(Warning: Country Music alert!)
I AIN'T EVEN LONELY
Well it was late one night when I left town
the day they laid my father down
and there wasn't anybody else around
to tell me not to go.
Didn't care for no one else.
In fact I didn't even much like myself.
I was feeling tired and feeling low,
and heading out on my own.
Better they see a stranger than hear what you can't do.
Better they think you're quiet than know that you're a fool.
Better to know a little across the country than know well this damn town.
Baby I ain't even lonely, I just ain't got friends around.
10 long years since my daddy died.
10 long years since last I cried.
I never have to feel alone.
I don't feel much at all.
Never did figure out much more.
But one thing I learned for sure
is the only thing worse than being alone
is being with someone else.
Better they see a stranger than hear what you can't do.
Better they think you're quiet than know that you're a fool.
Better to know a little across the country than know well this damn town.
Baby I ain't even lonely, I just ain't got friends around.

Angel..By Sarah Mclachlan
Simply can't listen to the song, it is to heavy on my heart.

And All That Could Have Been by NIN is the one that gets me. Reznor can come up with some beautifully depressing tracks.
Blue Skied an' Clear by Slowdive
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-ZSGw535HI
I have strong memories associated with it.
THIS is where that came from. The chorus has been relentlessly repeating in my head for days. I was like, WTF? Why? Why, oh, why?

My dearest sympathies.
Aimee Mann - Par for the Course
Its par for the course
You bet the wrong horse
You put down the phone and cried
For yourself
And for what
You couldn't have
A plea
That wont do
Now that she
Serves it to you
And I don't even know you
I don't even know you anymore
I don't even know you
I don't even know you
Its all you deserve
The loss of the nerve
The grade of the curve
Has brought you to this
By the boat that you missed
You clung to the raft
So she swerved out of your path
And I don't even know you
I don't even know you anymore
I don't even know you anymore
You loved her a lot
But she lost the plot
And timing is everything
In this game
So lets have
A moment of blame
Think how
It could have been
Well you should
Have said it all then
And I don't even know you
I don't even know you anymore...

REAL NEWS: my heart is on the floor in shards. 11/22/2008
For why?
Sigur Ros - Inní Mér Syngur Vitleysingur (Inside me a lunatic sings)
Not a sad song, per se, but still pulls on the heart strings.
On a silver river
You illuminate the whole world and blue eyes
Cut the starry sky
I make a wish and close my eyes
Yes do that, now begins the story
Oh no
At lightspeed
Inside a heart explodes, an airplane crash
Down on the earth sings
I make a wish and close my eyes
Yes do that, a silly dance
All is forgotten in very little time and yet begins
Open eyes
Oh no
My best friend no matter whatever happens
I swallow tears and breathe hair
A bad break, we cry in each other arms
When we meet
When we kiss
The lips burning, we hold hands
I see you wake
I see you naked
Inside me a lunatic sings
Always rushing, we run quickly
Everything becomes smaller
I scream louder
I'm with a shell, going away
My best friend no matter whatever happens
A bad break, we cry in each others arms
I swallow tears and breathe hair
When we meet
When we kiss
The lips burning, we hold hands
I see you wake
I see you naked
Inside me a lunatic sings
We are all innocent and shit. Too bad I didn't find that out until I was old enough to vote. That song just slays me every time.
My mother used to sing these to me when I was a little girl and to this day, they make me cry.
Barbara Allen
Puff the Magic Dragon
My family makes fun of me to this day for crying over this one...my mom and her sisters get their guitars out and sing it a few times a year at family get togethers and I can't ever get through it. It's so sad....I can't help but burst into tears when they sing "greens scales fell like rain" 
And "a dragon lives forever, but not so little boys"...that makes me think of my little guys growing up...
Alecia, I know what you mean. I always tear up when I hear Little Drummer Boy. I just lost it the first time he gave his drum to the the baby Jesus in that animated cartoon thing they show at christmas. I made a tape so I could listen to it over over and over in fourth grade and just sobbed my little head off!
EDIT:
Hot Damn! I found Johnny Cash singing it!
Did you ever listen to "For the Captain", and, if so, what do you think?
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
you were talking so brave and so sweet,
giving me head on the unmade bed,
while the limousines wait in the street.
Those were the reasons and that was New York,
we were running for the money and the flesh.
And that was called love for the workers in song
probably still is for those of them left.
Ah but you got away, didn't you babe,
you just turned your back on the crowd,
you got away, I never once heard you say,
I need you, I don't need you,
I need you, I don't need you
and all of that jiving around.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
you were famous, your heart was a legend.
You told me again you preferred handsome men
but for me you would make an exception.
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
who are oppressed by the figures of beauty,
you fixed yourself, you said, "Well never mind,
we are ugly but we have the music."
And then you got away, didn't you babe...
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best,
I can't keep track of each fallen robin.
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel,
that's all, I don't even think of you that often.
Famous Blue Rain Coat is the one that kills me:
Nope, because I just open the website and they play songs at random so I keep thinking it will play eventually. The crazy thing is that I have to do it this way. I wrote two stories after not writing anything for three years sitting on that website waiting for that damn song. (That's included in the second story.) I love this band. Thank you.
EDIT: The first story is called HUM, the second WAITING. Ha!
This weekend, (and for the foreseeable future) it is Brick by the Ben Folds Five:
6 am day after christmas
I throw some clothes on in
The dark
The smell of cold
Car seat is freezing
The world is sleeping and
I am numb
Up the stairs to her apartment
She is balled up on the couch
Her mom and dad went down
To charlotte
They're not home to find us
Out
And we drive
Now that I have founds someone
I'm feeling more alone
Than I ever have before
Shes a brick and Im drowning Slowly
Off the coast and Im headed Nowhere
Shes a brick and Im drowning Slowly
They call her name at 7:30
I pace around the parking lot
Then I walk down to buy her
Flowers
And sell some gifts that I got
Cant you see
Its not me youre dying for
Now shes feeling more alone
Than she ever has before
As weeks went by
It showed that she was not fine
They told me son its time
To tell the truth
And she broke down and I broke
Down
cause I was tired of lying
Driving back to her apartment
For the moment were alone
Shes alone
And Im alone
Now I know it
Wow, that was a fast edit, sir. I hope everything is okay with you.

I love this song, its one of the songs I use to have the ocassional useful cry.
why don't we share our solitude?
Placebo feat. David Bowie - Without You I'm Nothing
Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide
I'll take it by your side
Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide
I'll take it by your side
Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies
I'll take it by your side
Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide
I'll take it by your side
tick - tock [x3]
tick - tick - tick - tick - tick - tock
I'm unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen,
I seem to lose the power of speech,
You're slipping slowly from my reach
You grow me like an evergreen,
You've never seen the lonely me at all
I...
Take the plan, spin it sideways
I...
Fall
Without you, I'm nothing
Without you, I'm nothing
Without you, I'm nothing
Take the plan, spin it sideways
Without you, I'm nothing.. at all
<3
Also:
Power Of Love. It's a cover by Antimatter, Mick Moss singing it. I've seen him playing this song live and I felt like bawling. I love his voice, he's such a good singer.
The Calvary Cross - Richard & Linda Thomson. No idea why.
Also, the song playing when Dumbo is being cradled by his mother

Oh, now that is so sweet.
'Cupid's Trick' by Elliot Smith
She's shaking down
I'm absent and numb from shock
Reachin' around for the
Hands of the clock
Should've lied
Lit me up, it's my lie
Should've lit me up, it's my lie
Should've lit me up, it's my lie
Should've lit me up, it's my lie
Should've lit me up
Cupid's trick comes
Down to shake and deal
A stupid kick that
Makes me real
Should've lied
Lit me up, it's my lie
Should've lit me up, it's my lie
Should've lit me up, it's my lie
Should've lit me up, it's my lie
Should've lit me up
She's shaking down
It's never over and done
So kick me, cane me
And I'll know
Why
Lit me up, it's my lie
Should've lit me up, it's my lie
Should've lit me up, it's my lie
Should've lit me up, it's my lie
Should've lit me up

I am numb
This used to kill me too...
Tom McRae - Got a Suitcase, Got Regrets
Change the locks on the door.
Put out the light in the hall.
I do not live here anymore
Put the world in a box.
Turn the sign to the street.
Aim for where horizon and blue skies, meet
But all I know is
I'm not ready yet
For the light to dim
Got a suitcase, got regrets
But I'm hopeful yet
I've been a gifted thief
Stole everything for the cause
I never had fingers as light as yours
So wake up pretty girl
See the hope in small things
Disappointment can wear you thin
But all I know is
I'm not ready yet
For the light to dim
Got a suitcase, got regrets
But I'm hopeful yet
And I'll raise this glass of wine
And I'll say your name
So let's be killers babe
Make the great escape
From all the bitter words
Of every crowded street and empty heart
It's Christmas day, Brooklyn in the rain
But I am safe inside a better world of hope and memory
Drunk on velvet wine, southern cross for light
Deal your cards and hope that I can play a better hand this time
Aww, Mike....
Also, the song playing when Dumbo is being cradled by his mother :(
Oh, now that is so sweet.
Makes me cry every time
When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions wont grow
And were changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
Our respect run so dry?
Yet theres still this appeal
That weve kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just cant function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again
I listened to this one alot when I decided my marriage was really over...
Bed of Lies - Matchbox 20
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there’ll be no rest for these tired eyes
I’m marking it down to learning
I am
Don’t think that I can take another empty moment
Don’t think that I can fake another hollow smile
It’s not enough just to be lonely
Don’t think that I could take another talk about it
Just like me you got needs
And they’re only a whisper away
And we softly surrender
To these lives that we’ve tendered away
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there’ll be no rest for these tired eyes
I’m marking it down to learning 'cause I can
Don’t wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over
Don’t wanna be somewhere where I just don’t belong
Where it’s not enough just be sorry
Don’t you know I feel the darkness closing in
I tried to be more than me
And I gave until it all went away
And we’ve only surrendered
To the worst part of these winters we’ve made
No I would not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there’ll be no rest for these tired eyes
I’m marking it down to learning
I am
I am all that I’ll ever be
When you - lay your hands
Over me but don’t go weak on me please
I know that it’s weak
But God help me I need this
I will not sleep in this bed of lies
So toss me out and turn in
And there’ll be no rest for these tired eyes
I’m marking it down to learning
I’m marking it down to learning
’cause I can

I wanted to paint the lyrics on my mom's grave because I always think of her when I hear this song.
"Maybe a long life does have to be filled with many unpleasant conditions if it's to seem long. But in the event, who wants one?"
"I do," Dunbar told him.
"Why?" Clevinger asked.
"What else is there?"
