Best Tear Jerker Songs of All Time

January 22nd 2010 05:34
Tears
Sad Songs Say So Much
When all you need is somebody that knows what you're feeling, music comes in all shapes and sizes and tear jerkers are no excpetion.

There are some songs that touch the soul in an incredible way.

Songs that get you choked up. Songs that remind you of heartbreak, how bad it was, how lonely it was and maybe even how much you benefited from it.


Music has that power.

There are oldies, there is alternative, there is country, there's R&B. They all have one thing in common - they're all tear jerkers - but which are the best?

With lyrics such as "You coming back to me, is against the odds, and that's what I've gotta face." - Against All Odds - by Phil Collins has gotta be up there.

Perhaps even an MJ classic such as She's Out of My Life where The King of Pop's versatility reached it's sensitive, soft peak in this ballad from 1979's "Off the Wall" album.

So many songs from Titanic " My Heart will go on" through to Honey by Bobby Goldsborough
to How Do I Live - Leann Rimes and Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers - but what are your classic tear jerk songs and is there a story behind you choice?

I'd definitely put My Immortal in that list as well. And Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt. There's also a song from the underground rapper Immortal Technique that gets me choked up every time but I can't remember its title. If I find it, I'll put it in the comments.

Did you know that apparently Clapton has been refusing to perform Tears in Heaven - full stop.

Perhaps its all a little too close.

Cheers

Hey Ruth

Isn't that whole Harry Chapin thing just so true though?

Just don't get me started on 'Without You . . ." by Nillson

Related to by some many girls and women - yet lost completely on most every man ever put on the face of the planet.

We just don't seem to get it sometimes do we?
