Songs that make you cry...

Posted in Planning 38

So I know this is kind of an odd thing, but I have just been having this happen a lot lately. I am really emotional with the wedding so close and also with FH not here with me. There are some songs that when they come on the radio I cannot listen to without crying! Half the songs that make me cry...

So I know this is kind of an odd thing, but I have just been having this happen a lot lately. I am really emotional with the wedding so close and also with FH not here with me. There are some songs that when they come on the radio I cannot listen to without crying! Half the songs that make me cry are kind of obvious why but the other ones are just songs that I have never gotten upset from before. It is really frustrating because when I finally get somewhere my eyes are all puffy and red and then I have to answer peoples questions!

So I guess my question is does this happen to you? And what songs??

My biggest ones are:

-The House that Built Me by: Miranda Lambert (twice today!)

-If You're Reading This by: Tim McGraw

-Just a Dream by: Carrie Underwood

-I'm Already There by: Lonestar

    I was going to say "If You're Reading This" by Tim McGraw. Also the new Toby Keith song "Crying For Me" makes me SUPER sad! Smiley sad ANY daddy/daughter song makes me tear up. Also "You're Gonna Miss This".

    This happens to me so much. Top ones are

    Keith Urban- Only you can love me this way (our wedding song)

    Brad Paisley - Then

    Carrie Underwood - Temporary Home, it makes me break down

    Then a week ago I heard a country song about a man going on deployment being killed and leaving a letter to his wife and the child he never got to meet and I completely lost it

    @ Aussie - I just heard Temporary Home for the first time while at work today, and it made me want to bawl my eyes out! These songs just dig their talons right in.

    They definately do Terran. I think ive heard it about 50 times now and I still get really emotional. I think this is partly due to the fact that we want to adopt a child so the start of it just makes me cry

    "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men-this came out when I was a kid after my friend was killed so I always think of her when I hear this.

    And "Amazing Grace" especially when played with bagpipes. I'm part Irish so all of the funerals I've been to over the past 20some years have had bagpipes play this. Even in movies it brings me to tears when I hear it!

    Aussie, I'm pretty sure that's If You're Reading This and yeah... Every single time. Sometimes I have to pull over. I so badly want to have kids with my FH, but with him in the Army I just feel like it would be such a tragedy for her/his daddy to miss birthdays and maybe not see them grow up. Oh man. Here come the tears again Smiley sad

    And RavenK, The Call is another one. I hear it come on and the waterworks start up...

    She's All I've Ever Had- Ricky martins' version

    Now I also love the original by whomever- can't remember. but this one I have in my playlist and one day when I heard it I just started bawling. FH came into room and was like what's wrong with you? I was like just dance with me and listen. He did and by the end of the song, tears were in his eyes. he was like- "Oh, OK, I get it" we kissed and realized we'd found our song! by accident!

    Any song about a child or daughter growing up makes me cry---(my little girl-tim mcgraw..quite a few darius rucker songs..etc.) because I don't want my lil Peanut to grow up (she's 9 months old). Also I loved her first because it's the song my gpa and I will dance to. Charlie Pride's kiss an angel good morning and one more day by Diamond Rio because they were both played at my grandmas funeral in november. :-( I'm a huge cryer with commercials as well! I am very emotional planning this wedding since my gma died recently..she was like my mom so I get hit hard a lot. You're def not alone!

    I'm with MDLS.. that commercial and that song kills me.. I have to leave the room fast if FH is in there because he is always making fun of me because I'm such a baby. I've cried at like every single movie I've watched lately, too. And One Tree Hill.. I've been bawling watching that.. The worst part of hearing a song that makes me bawl usually means in reality I actually LOVE the song.. so I listen to it over and over.. and I cry and cry.. just so I get it all out of me before I get home to FH! Haha!

    @ Melissa - YES! The ASPCA and Humane Society Commercials. Every time Angel by Sarah Mclachlan comes on, I think of that and ball my eyes out. You can bet I've been a member for a while Smiley smile If I had a job, I would just sign all of my paychecks over to them.

    @ Pumpkin - The Story is such a beautiful song, it makes me "feel" something when I hear it. I'm a HUGE Brandi fan (have all 3 of her albums, listen to regularly), you can bet I'll be playing her music at my reception and maybe leading up to the ceremony. There are a lot of other songs that might work for the aisle, if you like her style.
