Cats in the Cradle - hits me everytime. Growing up, my father traveled for work all the time. We have a good relationship, but it felt distant for a while growing up with him gone so much. I vowed to not do that my family with my career.

Such a slow build and not a lot of lyrics but for some reason, it gets me on several important people and pets in the past.

If you listen to a lot of Post Malone's lyrics, especially on his last album, it's full of his internal battle with depression and substance abuse.

Someone really close to me struggles with depression...and this song gets me everytime i hear it:



Another one by Post that really makes me sad for him:




I decided to torture myself and listen through to all of the songs on this thread I hadn't heard before. I almost skipped this Post Malone ****, I assumed it wasn't gonna be my thing. That first song posted there though was surprisingly great. I just finished listening to a bunch of John Prine songs from up the thread, and I'll be damned if that Post Malone song couldn't have completely worked if played in John Prine's style.

I hear ya. I've got two HS boys, so I've heard a lot more Post than I otherwise would've. He has some surprisingly deep stuff along with his popcorn songs

As a child of divorce, this one always hit me hard….as a father now, it hits harder because I just can't imagine my kids in this situation…

I don't remember seeing "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning," but I must have missed it.

Not really a sad song, but it makes me sad:
If I ever hear Rock of Ages at church, I struggle to hold back tears. Reminds me of my grandmother. Even as I type this I get teary.


Here's a couple of sad songs that always struck me

I've always had a difficult time connecting with my dad, even though we shared the same interests and spent a lot of time together. He is being treated for prostate cancer and he's not out of the woods yet. The whole ordeal has really hit me hard. This is a newer song I discovered recently, and I just feel like it speaks directly to me. Also just a damn good song IMO.

Be here long by Needtobreathe

Just an absolutely beautiful song. It's about how short our lives are and living with grief.

Glad this one was posted, as it gets me when I hear it, which is very rarely anymore.

Same could be said for Colin Raye's "Love, Me".

"My Immortal" by Evanescence.

Lots of songs already posted.

Always a tough listen. He was one of my favorites.

"One Last Goodbye" by Anathema causes physical pain. Two brothers in the band wrote it about their mom's death from cancer and the lyrics nail - and partially resurrect - a lot of the thoughts and feelings one experiences after a crushing loss. Even the guitar solo has a wailing, plaintive tone.

This is it, lock the thread. This song kills me.

The scene from Californication where they play it doesn't help.
