songs that really makes your heart ache

I whole heartedly agree with Floyd's Us & Them............ when I read the posts mentioning this track al the hair on my arms stood up!

It's a beautiful, beautiful track, and it certainly stirs my tear ducts!

The other track that makes me break down and cry buckets it Queen- Who wants to live Forever

 

 

For me Its Pink Floyd's Us and Them, Coheed and Cambria's Wake up, Jane Semour from the 6 wives of Henry VIII by Rick Wakeman, Lynard Skynard's Tuesdays gone, Free's Mourning sad morning, Queen's these were the days of our lives, InMe's You'l get there, Safe in your room and (may as well) kiss me, Fleetwood Mac's Albatrose.

All for different reasons that span from just beautifully written to reminding me of the old days to there when im feeling down and need abit of a cry (in private of course coz as the cure say 'boys don't cry')

Yes, it evoked the same reaction in me too

The milk in my fridge curdled at the sound of it....

VdGG - House With No Door, Lost, Refugees, plus the sax solo by Jaxon in My Room (Waiting for Wonderland), plus another sax solo in Man-Erg.
Moody Blues - Question
Kinks - All The Day and All Of The Night
Fleetwood Mac - Man Of The World (the worst of the lot, I can't listen to it very often)
Cranberries - Zombie
Johnny Cash - all of his final album, it's so depressing, but fantastic at the same time, certainly a killer of conversations
King Crimson - Epitaph
Queen - The Show Must Go On (another one I can't listen too)
R.E.M. - Everybody Hurts (depressing as anything, not a song I want to hear too often)
Peter Hammill - A Louse Is Not A Home
Led Zeppelin - Whola Lotta Love (don't ask why, it just does..., more sentimental than depressing, reminds me of a dear friend)
Guns 'n Roses - Sweet Child Of Mine (again, more sentimental, it's a shared song with my best mate and it reminds me of her)

I have a feeling I've missed something obvious off my list...

Edit: I was right, I missed out two: Duster Bennett - Jumping At Shadows (also covered by Fleetwood Mac) and Keef Hartley Band - Born To Die

Supper's ready, the most. So much emotion in it... And moods change with every part.

Also, most of PoS's Remedy Lane. What an album. 

I'll think of more.

Here Comes the Flood.

The Scooby Doo theme song; Caravan-The Dog, The Dog He's At It Again (when Pye sings "legs and thighs hellos and goodbyes it's all there" I shed a tear everytime).

However, the two winners for this category (and seriously this time by the way) are both Genesis songs and are both from the same sessions...Banks' Evidence of Autumn and Rutherford's Open Door.  Very sad songs both.  Others are APP's Old and Wise, Tony Banks' Somebody Else's Dream, Queen's Good Company is one of the bounciest and happiest sounding sad song I've ever heard.  There are more I'm sure but these are the ones I can think of.

Wow, there sure are a lot of crybabys here.  I've listened to music for 30 years and have heard hundreds of albums, and never once came across a song the makes my heart ache.

Can't say that that reality makes me cry either.

 

 

Some powerful examples in the category of Prog:

Starless (King Crimson)

Hairless Heart (Genesis)

A Louse Is Not a Home (Peter Hammill)

Ice (Camel)

Afterimage (Rush)

Hey You (Pink Floyd)

Some non-prog ones that are equally effective:

The River (Bruce Springsteen)

Mother (John Lennon)

The Winner Takes It All (Abba)

Kozmic Blues (Janis Joplin)

Magic (Nick Drake)

Hey You (Pink Floyd) couldn't decide which category to put this one in

f**k yea, man!  I knew there had to be another one like me out there!

I am almost breaking tears at the end of Darkside of the Moon.  Brain Damage and Eclipse is the best ending to any album ever and it jerks my tears every time I listen to it.

Camel - The Snow Goose
Van Der Graaf - Pioneers Over C. at the very end of H To He Who Am The Only One

Both are moving as hell, too.
