Hey Pandas, Which Song Brings You Tears Of Joy Or Sadness? (Closed)

I've told this story before, but there was a very special moment for me that immediately popped into my head when I read your post, so I'll tell it again:

I love dancing (both in clubs and at home), and it's also very important to me as a means to calm down and shut off the intrusive thoughts I always have due to my OCD and Generalized Anxiety. At some point in my life there was just way too much going on, and during that time I somehow lost the ability to "dance myself away". I still enjoyed dancing, but that special feeling, almost like being in a trance, just didn't come up anymore, and I found that really sad.

Then, a few years ago, when I visited my old favourite club and was already on the dance floor, the DJ played "Dark Allies" by Light Asylum. I didn't know the song, but thought it sounded cool, so I started dancing and suddenly.... Bam! There it was! The feeling of "dancing right into the song", being alone on the dance floor, just the song and me, the very feeling I thought I had lost forever. I was so, so happy! This song really brought it all back, so it will always be the one that gave me the most important emotional support.

"Keeper of my heart" by Indigo Girls....Used to be my favorite band, introduced my ex to their music and they rapidly became our band....... As such I haven't listened to them for 20 years, just couldn't, but after posting a story about them being my favorite concert , I faced up and revisited their music........ Jeez, they are truly a gorgeous band, still remember every damn lyric.....
But instead of sadness, that I feared would come with listening to them again, all these happy bittersweet memories came flooding back.... Those glorious, magical, transcendent years, sharing a house with the 2 people I loved the most in the whole world..... A house filled art, love and belonging, just a bunch of weirdos on the outside doing their best in a sh!tty world.... Before everything turned to sh!t and my brain broke..... I miss my weird little polyamorous family..... It was the last time I belonged anywhere.....

riptide. everytime i put it on i wanna cry.

“I’m Not Gonna Miss You” sung by Glen Campbell in 2014. This was the last song he recorded, having been diagnosed with, and showing more than just mild symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Couple it with the family album-style video, and I’m a mess.

It’s Western classical music but I’m sure it counts.

Jupiter, the bringer of Jollity from the Planets suite by Gustav Holst. That song makes me cry happy tears because I associate it with a time when I had nothing to worry about

"The Winter" by CAKE. They were big in the 90s but their best music was in 2011. Groovy, sad song.

Cigarettes and saints by the wonder years. Go listen to it and tell me I'm wrong.

Any Sufjan Stevens song pretty much. Particularly Fourth of July or Casimir Pulaski day. Soul meets body or I will follow you into the dark by death cab for cutie. Songs about death really put me in my place. There’s probably others I can’t think of right now.

Two I have are The Sundays cover of Wild Horses. Delores from The Cranberries gets so much attention for her voice, but to me it's not as good as Harriet's. The other is This Woman's Work by Kate Bush. First time I heard it was during the scene in She's Having a Baby where there's a complication when Elizabeth McGovern is giving birth. Watched it with my wife who was pregnant with our first.

Gilded Lily by the Cults.. Makes me cry cause I relate to it so much.
More that make me sad are "Silent Scream" and "Shatter me". .

Past Lives.

I get pretty sad thinking about how my friends and family are gonna die one day and that’ll be it.
