Married Life from Up

🥲

best answer

Claire de Lune by Claude Debussy chokes me up

oh definitely, though it's a lil difficult

SAME.

Danganronpa fan?

Mukuro Ikusaba. The sixteenth student, lying hidden somewhere in this school...The one they call the Ultimate Despair...Watch out for her.

debussy

Prelude in E Minor (Op.24 No.4)- Chopin Imagine- John Lennon Cats in the Cradle- Harry Chapin Bridge Over Troubled Water- Simon and Garfunkel Tears In Heaven- Eric Clapton Everybody Hurts- R.E.M., though I’m not sure how well this one will translate to piano.

I’d add Chopin’s Nocturne op.9 no.2

YEAS

#2 is beautiful, but #1 in Bb minor is much more melancholy. Then there's that consoling middle section in Db major.

R.E.M - Great 👍 Choice. That group was very underrated imo.

Excellent choices

Are you singing, or is it just piano?

just piano unless i can find someone who sings

OK, here's some sad pieces: Michael Giacchino: Sonata in Darkness Rob Costlow: Goodbyes, Bliss Andrea Tonoli: Memories Miika Mettianien: Sparrow Yann Tiersen: Mother's Journey

Darude - sandstorm

I won't even be able to see the piano keys through all the tears

Mambo No. 5

A Time For Us (Love theme rom Romeo and Juliet). It's beautiful on piano.

If you can find a simple piano arrangement "The Living Years" by Mike and the Mechanics.

This song has always made me cry. I still listen to this song and Cats In the Cradle by Harry Chapin or by Ugly Kid Joe, both are equally as good as the next.

Yes, to both songs. Telephone Line by ELO is also sad, after reading the lyrics I can't listen to it without crying.

I learned to play it on a good ukulele someone gave me for letting them stay at my house a while. It sounds surprisingly beautiful on a uke.

Smile by Nat King Cole, I know the song tells you to smile, but I cry every time and sounds great on the piano

That song is by Charlie Chaplin.

ooo i like the jimmy durante version as well

slipping through my fingers.

That one gets me every damn time.

Same.

love me the declan mkenna cover

'I Can't Make You Love Me' - Bonnie Raitt

The Bon Iver cover is so good too!

Postcards by Steven Wilson

Those Were the Days Mary Hopkin

Those Were the Days - Edith and Archie Bunker

Hear me out, When you're gone by Avril. Everybody knows it but everyone always forgets about it and its an og tear jerker

and its a piano song i mean the characteristic intro and stuff

OMG this one snatches my soul everytime. So emotional

Schindler's List by John Williams

Chopin’s Nocturne in C-sharp minor Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 Since Claire de Lune has been mentioned I’ll suggest Debussy’s Moonlight Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1, 2nd Movement Imagine- John Lennon Vincent- Don McLean Tears. In Heaven-Eric Clapton

Vincent, definitely

I don't know. I kind of like the French version of the Debussy better.

Thanksgiving, by George Winston, from his album December. Doubt many people know it, but it’s such a gorgeous piano piece. I get goosebumps every time I hear it.

Loveee George Winston! Have you ever listened to ludovico einaudo?

Saw him live in Phoenix about 20 yrs ago. Mesmerizing.

I WISH I could have seen him live, I bet it was phenomenal.

"Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven, "Knights In White Satin", by The Moody Blues, "Evergreen" by Barbra Streisand, "Songbird" by Fleetwood Mac, and, if you want to sing, and REALLY get 'em..."Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails/Johnny Cash...

Have I Told You Lately- Van Morrison, others Elliott Smith- almost anything. If I had to choose, Angeles, but Miss Misery is more known Wish You Were Here- Pink Floyd Theme from a Summer Place- Percy Faith American Trilogy- Elvis Bang the Drum Slowly- (many) City of New Orleans- Arlo Guthrie Yesterday Once More, We've Only Just Begun-- anything with Karen Carpenter Long May You Run- Neil Young, others Fix You- Coldplay Hurricane- Bob Dylan Seasons in the Sun- (many) Leaving on a Jet Plane- Peter, Paul, & Mary Old Man River- Paul Robeson Impossible Dream- (many) Yesterday, When I was Young- Roy Clark or Glen Campbell

Angeles from ES always makes me feel nostalgic

I Will Wait for You - Connie Francis or Astrud Gilberto Traces - Classics IV Reflections of My Life - Marmalade

Asleep - smiths

Cats In The Cradle

Danny Boy gets me every time.

Fix you by Coldplay

anything coldplay for a piano recital!

4th of July, by sufjan stevens, every time

Bring him home- Les Miserables

Hallelujah

"Puff the Magic Dragon".

Aw man me too.

Great Gig In The Sky by Pink Floyd made me cry when I saw it live but it isn’t the same without the vocals (you may just be able to play the vocals on the piano.

At This Moment- Billy Vera

Godspeed - Frank Ocean

Where have all the flowers gone? Pete Seger A Song for You. The Leon Russell cover is my favorite.

Leaves from the vine.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow always kills me.

Take it with me - Tom Waits The last verse has me in pieces - "In a land there's a town, And in the town there's a house In that house is a woman. In that woman there's a heart that I love. I'm gonna take it with me when I go."

Black Gives Way to Blue - Alice In Chains Hi Ren - Ren

Oh. Didn’t read the full post. My apologies. Probably not great piano songs

"The Rainbow Connection", most famously performed by Kermit in The Muppets Movie, but I really love the Carpenters version the most.

One of my favorites.

Theme from Somewhere In Time. The Rose by Bette Midler. Schubert’s Ave Maria

The Rose is such a beautiful piece when played on a piano.

~Dust in the Wind by Kansas~ I think lots of these comments didn’t read the actual post, because lots of these are more obscure songs or ones that wouldn’t hit the same without vocals. Dust in the Wind has no such issues. You could play it on a kazoo and I’d still get emotional after the initial burst of surprised laughter.

Rainbow connection

I made someone cry with Wild Horses on piano at my moms wedding

Le Miserables, https://music.apple.com/us/album/finale-les-miserables/1469577625?i=1469578605

*Dancing With Your Ghost*, you monster.

Streets of Philadelphia by Bruce Springsteen Philadelphia by Neil Young

You've got a friend in me

Elephant - Jason Isbell. If a song about watching a friend slowly waste away to cancer doesn’t pull some heart strings, your audience is dead inside.

Cherish, by the Association. “ My Dad- can’t remember singers name-sorry, I can find it later. Distant Lover, Marvin Gaye -live version. Passover-Joy division ( no religious connotations

"It's a Motherfucker" by Eels Trust me on this.

Leaves From the Vine Falling so slow Like fragile tiny shells Drifting in the foam Little soldier boy Come marching home Brave soldier boy Come marching home

Leaves from the vine.

Probably too political but, Money game pt 3 by Ren

The Living Years-Mike and the Mechanics If you live far away from your parents, had a strained relationship with one of them or just generally want to know if you really still love your family, put this on.

I’m sensitive today because I choked up at my own suggestion but fully teared up when I read your comment. My parents are now elderly, and apparently I still love them haha

endless love or whatever song was in Ghost the movie

"Con te partirò" - Andrea Bocelli & Sarah Brightman

Right Where It Belongs - Nine Inch Nails That song has been my go to for the past month while I have been going through some very tough emotions

“The Crisis” by Ennio Morricone. I’ve got chills right now just thinking about it.

"A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri (piano version). This song's beautiful and emotional melody makes it a great choice for an evocative piano performance.

“Monsters” by James Blunt. Dear. God. https://youtu.be/DTFbGcnl0po?si=eRjY3EyVEHLHwMaQ

The Luckiest - Ben Folds

Hey Jude

Anything by cat Stevens

Carolyn's Fingers by Cocteau Twins twins I can't help but to burst into tears every time I listen to it

Say Something- a great big world ft. Christina Aguliera

Soldier Side by System of a Down. The full song is really heartbreaking and I actually cried a few times when I heard it for the first time before. Its a real good emotional and well constructed song.

Star shopping Lil peep

Paradise by John Prine. I once started full on sobbing in a bar when somebody performed that on stage.

Spectre by Radiohead. Great sad piano song

‘Alright’- Pilot Speed has a beautiful piano piece that hits

Trois Gymnopedies by Erik Satie

Both sides now always makes me cry

'Memory' from Cats

Everytime - Britney Spears

I’m a metalhead, but there are still someone songs that have made me cry, such as “Wings for Marie, pt.1 and pt.2” by Tool, “The Garden” and “Losing it” by Rush, and most of Disturbed’s *Evolution* album, despite it being their worst album, got me through some really hard times. The Cure’s *Disintegration* album makes me want to cry, and certain songs on Pink Floyd’s *The Wall* don’t necessarily make me want to cry, but they really make me feel empty and depressed. *The Wall* has to be one of the most depressing concept albums ever.

Songs which make NORMAL PEOPLE cry. Hell, a lot of normies cry when they hear Taylor Swift.

I came here to add 'Someone Like You' by Adele but hadn't seen it here yet.

Glimpse of us by Joni is really good on piano. Currently my favorite piano piece to cry to is "van Gogh" from virginio areillo

Even though I’m Leaving - Luke Combs All of Me - John Legend. Might just be me that gets misty eyed since it’s the song my wife walked down the aisle to.

Music affects everyone differently. There's no song that will make everyone cry. Having said that, try Cinema Paradiso (Ennio Morricone), that made me cry when I heard it played by Chucho Valdes.

A Warm Place - NIN Love Of My Life - Queen (Live in brazil) Feels Like We Only Go Backwards - Tame Impala or Arctic Monkeys cover Jesus, Etc. - Wilco Myth - Beach House
