Yes, this one.

One of my grandfathers was a Johnny Cash fan. I listened to this on repeat for weeks. You’d think I’d be numb to it, but it’s such a raw, painful song.

So many!

One that gets me absolutely every time I hear it is “It’s Quiet Uptown” in Hamilton -

“There are moments that the words don't reach
There is suffering too terrible to name
You hold your child as tight as you can
And push away the unimaginable
The moments when you're in so deep
It feels easier to just swim down…”

Those lyrics say everything!

And then I’m done by the time the chorus comes in at the end w/ “Forgivenes…can you imagine?”

Whiskey Lullaby.... Also If Heaven weren't so far away.

Vince Gill - Go Rest High On That Mountain. Makes me tear up every time. It was played at a family member's funeral service and I think of him every time I hear it.

How can you mend a broken heart by the Bee Gees. I cry every single time I hear it. I think I must associate it with some memory from the time it came out but I couldn't tell you what it is. The combination of the words and that sad voice just kills me.

Weird things make me cry. These are what do it for me:

 

[porschegrl]

My dad used to sing, "We had joy, we had fun, we had hot dogs on a bun." Kind of hard for me to think of it as a sad song, after that!
