Well, howdy there! Let’s gab a bit about them songs that make you wanna bawl your eyes out, you know? Them song lyrics about crying. Some folks, they like a good cry, some don’t. But let me tell ya, sometimes a good cry is just what the doctor ordered, like a good dose of salts after a hard day’s work.

Now, I ain’t no fancy music critic or nothin’. I just know what I like, and I know what makes me wanna grab a tissue. There’s somethin’ about certain songs, the way them words and tunes come together, it just hits you right in the gut.
Lots of them songs are about losin’ someone. You know, death or breakups or folks just movin’ away. Life ain’t always easy, and music, well, it tells them stories. Like that Johnny Cash fella singin’ “Hurt.” Oh, my stars, that one’ll get ya. It’s like he’s right there with ya, feelin’ the same pain.
- Sad songs, they help you when you’re feelin’ down. They kinda let you know you ain’t alone in your misery.
- Depressin’ songs, well, them are for when you just wanna wallow in it, you know? Sometimes you just gotta let it all out.
- And then there’s them emotional songs, the ones that just stir somethin’ up inside you. They ain’t always sad, but they always get to ya.
I heard tell there’s somethin’ called “Florence Syndrome,” sounds mighty fancy, don’t it? Some fella named Stendhal, he figured out that music, ‘specially them melodies, it talks to the part of your brain where all the sad stuff is hidin’. It’s like a secret language, and it can make you cry faster than cuttin’ onions. It digs up them feelin’s you didn’t even know you had buried deep down, like plantin’ seeds and watchin’ ’em sprout.
Think about it, some songs, they just hit you outta nowhere. One minute you’re fine, the next you’re blubberin’ like a baby. That’s ’cause the music, it’s fast, like lightnin’. It goes straight to your heart before you even have time to think. That’s why a song can make you cry right quick.
Now, I got a few songs that always get me goin’. That Eric Clapton song, “Tears in Heaven,” Lord, that one’s a heartbreaker. Sings about losin’ a child, somethin’ no parent should ever have to go through. Then there’s that “My Immortal” song by that Evanescence band. Real spooky and sad, makes you think about losin’ someone you love and never gettin’ over it.
And don’t even get me started on that Green Day song, “Wake Me Up When September Ends”. That’s a real tearjerker, talkin’ ‘bout losin’ a daddy. Reminds me of my own pa, bless his soul. And The Beatles, they got that “Yesterday” song, simple but oh so sad. Talks about losin’ love and wishin’ things were different.

Even them rappers, they get sad sometimes. That Eminem fella, he sings a song called “Stan,” about a fan who’s a bit too obsessed. It’s a scary kind of sad, but sad nonetheless. Pink Floyd, they got that “Wish You Were Here” song. Makes you think about folks you miss, folks you wish were still around. And then there’s Radiohead, with that “Creep” song. That one’s for all of us who ever felt like we didn’t fit in, like we weren’t good enough. It’s the kind of song that makes you feel understood, even in your sadness.
So, there ya have it. A little bit of gabbin’ about song lyrics about crying. Whether you wanna cry or just listen to some good tunes, music’s always there for ya. It’s like a friend, always ready to listen, always ready to understand. And sometimes, a good cry is just what you need to feel better, to let go of all that hurt and pain. So go on, put on a sad song, grab a tissue, and let them tears fall. It’s good for the soul, it is. Like a good rain after a long drought, washin’ everything clean.
And if you find yourself crying over spilled milk more often than not, well, ain’t no shame in that either. Life’s a bumpy road, and sometimes all you can do is put on a sad song and let it all out.
