Listen to Candour and then straight into nineteen seventy somethin’, absolutely heartbreaking true story and some of Bens finest words

TWY - Oldest Daughter/Cigarettes & Saints/Raining in Kyoto/most of NCTH
Count to Four - Get To It
Fireworks - Run, Brother, Run
Real Friends - I Had a Heart (Christmas song)
We Won't Bury You by The Wonder Years is rough. Cardinals underneath the surface is obvious. You Made Me Want To Be A Saint or anything really involving the death of Dan's friend. They're not ballads but they're definitely sad songs.
I’d recently become a dad when The Hum Goes On Forever came out; every song that references his kid or his fears for his kid’s future absolutely gets me. The closing track… damn.
I uncontrollably sobbed the first time I heard this song. A warning to anyone that’s ever lost someone to suicide - proceed with caution in a private place
Stretching the definition of non-emo a touch
Wake me up when September Ends - Green Day, never wish it on my worst enemy but lose a parent and you’re gonna get it.
Sonny- New Found Glory
Here You Me - Jimmy Eat World
Same, I had not been doing my proper concert homework so totally forgot about that song. One month after my dad died and I thought I was fine, I walked in right before they played that and found my single seat between strangers and basically just silently bawled throughout that entire song. Good impression on my new neighbors I’m sure… but it just hit me like a ton of bricks
Honestly this was so far down at time of commenting.
The entire album Brave Faces Everyone is one of the most beautiful but devastating albums I’ve ever listened to.
Something Corporate - Konstantine
Sum 41 - What Am I To Say // Crash // Pieces
Real Friends - Teeth // I’ve Given Up On You // Sixteen
Marianas Trench - Lover Dearest // Alibis // Low
Oh lordy like half of the wonder years’ discography tbh. Pyramids of salt, we look like lightning, really the entire sister cities album. Goddamnitall. I just want to sell out my funeral. I could keep going, TWY just really hits.
“Yesterday I went back to apartment to see how you’ve been holding up. You haven’t been eating, I thought you were sleeping but you’re not waking up.”
Every fucking time, dude.
This one. I can't listen to this song because there's people in my life who have lost partners due to terminal illness. Seeing that loss and trauma makes me terrified to lose my partner at a young age.
As an almost 31 year that lost her partner of 7 years to suicide when he was 29, can confirm that even two years later the loss still feels very traumatizing. The ending of this song “So don’t fall in love there’s just too much to lose” hits so hard on the bad days.
A couple from hot mulligan.
Everyone gets fucked up from Betty. I personally think smahccked my head awf is really sad. And heem wasn’t there is also a sad one.
Betty I absolutely can’t listen to anymore bc I recently got a golden retriever puppy and I always end up thinking about burying him and I spiral.
My dad died in the snow a couple months before the album came out, and Smahaccked my Head hits really close to home. He was losing his clarity and coherence; would repeat things and never want to talk about it. I disappeared once I left for college and he really fell downhill with his anger and alcoholism. I do sometimes let myself wonder if he would have had a better go of it had I never left.
Terrific song that makes me sympathize what Tades is going through. A rough one for sure.
Lost City Angels - Edge of 21
The Crush - And for You I’m Dying Now
Alkaline Trio - Bleeder
The Early November - Call of the bells
Not pop punk but my favorite sad song without lyrics is
The Blacktop Cadence - Unlucky
No one mentioned Motion city soundtracks "Hold me down" so I'm gonna.
Hands down the best lyrical masterpiece they wrote with justins metaphors.
That or "Happy anniversary"
Edit* it was mentioned at the same time!
The Rest of my Life by Less Than Jake.
For such an upbeat energetic band, this one is a real tear jerker that gets me whenever it pops up on streaming.
My parents were going through a very tough time in their marriage right around Stay Together came out. Even though they've made it work and it's been 20+ years, I'm still transported back to that scared, sad teen wishing their parents would be okay every time I hear it.
As a struggling young adult, Passing Through A Screen Door by The Wonder Years especially the Burst and Decay version. That shit reminds me of how tired i am every fucking time.
I got really choked up when they played this song on their Greatest Generation anniversary tour. It was so cathartic and beautiful to scream-sing along with hundreds of people who get that pain
Just for clarity: I don't hate the emo genre. I just feel there's certain emo songs that don't resemble pop punk at all (e.g. "Never Meant") and I'm looking for sad songs that DO.
L.G.FUAD is sad? I mean sure it’s from the perspective of feeling like you’re on the sidelines of your own life (kinda), but the melody is hella-bouncy and the lyrics are all over the place.
Alkaline Trio - Blue in the Face
Neck Deep - December
+44 - Little Death
+44 - Lillian
Knucke Puck - Untitled
Mayday Parade - Miserable at Best
Mayday Parade - Terrible Things
Really hard not to include bands like Taking Back Sunday that are for sure pop-punk but may be considered emo by some people…
I am beyond jealous, I doubt we would ever get him to come through my corner of TX but he is def one of my top bucket list concerts
And I agree, he should be huge because IMHO he really speaks to all my favorite genres but that is why I will promote him every chance I get
Touche amore - flowers and you
Frank ocean - white Ferrari
Death cab for cutie - a lack of color; what Sarah said
Radiohead - motion picture soundtrack
Third eye blind - god of wine; the background
Twenty one pilots - truce
Mac miller - dunno (Spotify sessions)
Those are some of my favorites for when I want to cry lmao
Edit: just read the caption saying you wanted specifically pop punk genre, so my bad
Moose Blood: Cherry, Girl, I hope you're miserable
Neck Deep: Candour, December
The Story So Far: Clairvoyant, Navy blue, Loro
Citizen: Drown, Sleep, The night I drove alone, Heaviside
Foxing: Rory
Marianas Trench: Porcelain, By now, So soon
Tigers Jaw: Never saw it coming, Plane vs tank vs submarine
I'll go a different direction. Millencolin - No Cigar. It's an upbeat song, but if you pay attention to the lyrics it is sad but encouraging. At least that's how it is for me!
Wow what a pick. I can honestly say I’ve never taken in those lyrics apparently, bc I’ve heard that song a hundred times and never thought it was sad. I’ll go back and check it out!
All Time Low - Jasey Rae
Sum 41 - Best of Me
Stars - Your Ex-Lover Is Dead
Yellowcard - A Place We Set Afire
Neck Deep - Wish You Were Here
A Day To Remember - If It Means Alot To You
Minor Acts of Cannibalism - I’m Glad Its You
I love
They Looked Like Strong Hands by Bayside
Not sure if you consider Bayside as a pop punk band... but love the band and love the Never Ending Story reference as well.
Hot Mulligan has a song about the lead singer’s beloved grandmother battling with what I’m assuming is Alzheimer’s, and if you pay attention to the lyrics it’s unfathomably sad. I can’t think of a sadder song from a high-energy band.
Genre labels are a tool for dying radio stations and deader record stores, but I feel like what you were asking is “name a sad song from a band that isn’t known for primarily making sad songs.”
I got a hot take here and am prepared to accept the down votes.
MGK’s Lonely and Play This When I’m Gone
I genuinely had no idea who MGK was when a friend introduced me to Tickets to My Downfall so I didn’t realize that he’s kind of… eugh for awhile. That album does fit the pop punk genre regardless of whether people think it’s good or he’s a tourist in the genre or whatever, and those two songs specifically I listened to a lot and were very emotionally cathartic for me while I was watching my dad and aunt dying in the hospital.
Also on a similar note but less pop punk and more ??? (What genre do we consider them?) What Sarah Said by death cab for cutie
Self plug, my band Lyndhurst has a song called "I'm Sorry for the Way I Am". My singer wrote this song and goddamn, it's still so good.
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=I15SPDCkHJ8&si=GHpyoeyU4Hcaru_v
Hard to fit that description -- "Terrible Things" by Mayday Parade is maybe one of the saddest, but it's pretty emo I think. Mayday Parade as a *band* is pretty "pop punk" but this song in particular is emotional.
Wish You Were Here - Neck Deep
Hear You Me - Jimmy Eat World
Cancer - MCR
Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day

Soon you'll get better by Taylor Swift
You said not emo so I gave you trending artist pop singer tswizzle but i promise those songs will give you the feels.
Have you ever listened to DAGGERMOUTH's - You Do This As A Fad, We DO This as Living?
God that song is sad. Singer's best friend was murdered by her husband.
Sean - Trophy Eyes
Easily the most devastating song I’ve heard in years.
Or just put on almost any album from The Wonder Years’ discography and it’ll get you crying.
The definition of emo is very large and depends of who you talk to, so it's hard not to go into that category but :
Hold on - Good Charlotte
When it raina - Paramore
Not pop punk but one that gets me everytime :
Snuff - Slipknot
ahem.
sum 41 - (no particular order)
crash, never there, catching fire (specifically the acoustic version. i cant listen to this version as it was the first song i heard after hearing my best friends attempted and was in hospital and ironically this song came on when i got the message - horribly timed) pieces.
radio silence i see as a sad song. i cried when i first heard it. i have no idea why, i had a lot going on and for some odd reason it set me off. then how the end begins came on and broke me more.
anyway. im saying sum 41 makes me cry.
Goodbye Waves and Driveways - The Rocket Summer
All the Stars and Boulevards - Augustana
Smell of this Place - The Early November
Bruised - Jack’s Mannequin
Winter - Joshua Radin
Neck Deep - Wish You Were Here
Candour too.
love Candour
Listen to Candour and then straight into nineteen seventy somethin’, absolutely heartbreaking true story and some of Bens finest words EDIT: wrote wish you were here instead of 1970
Ooof man. I listened to it a lot after an old classmate of mine died in a car crash. Still breaks my heart.
yep, was wondering if someone said this
Yeah coming on for the Candour nommy
Makes me cry every time
Song came up in the car and I spent a good 3 minutes trying to drive while also fighting off tears
TWY - Oldest Daughter/Cigarettes & Saints/Raining in Kyoto/most of NCTH Count to Four - Get To It Fireworks - Run, Brother, Run Real Friends - I Had a Heart (Christmas song)
To piggyback your TWY anything by Aaron west and the roaring 20’s
TWY - The Ghosts of Right Now
laura and the beehive by TWY always gets me crying
We Won't Bury You by The Wonder Years is rough. Cardinals underneath the surface is obvious. You Made Me Want To Be A Saint or anything really involving the death of Dan's friend. They're not ballads but they're definitely sad songs.
I’d recently become a dad when The Hum Goes On Forever came out; every song that references his kid or his fears for his kid’s future absolutely gets me. The closing track… damn.
Navy Blue by TSSF
Dark Blue - Jacks Mannequin If we're sticking to a color family.
this song had a chokehold on me when i was 12, so did "Amy, I" (also by Jack's Mannequin)
Yes
clairvoyant too
Hold on by good charlotte always gets me
Me too. Even after all these years, right in the feels.
Love this one and also Prayers
Trophy Eyes - Sean
I uncontrollably sobbed the first time I heard this song. A warning to anyone that’s ever lost someone to suicide - proceed with caution in a private place
Stretching the definition of non-emo a touch Wake me up when September Ends - Green Day, never wish it on my worst enemy but lose a parent and you’re gonna get it. Sonny- New Found Glory Here You Me - Jimmy Eat World
Hear You Me was on my list! Gets me every time especially when you have someone you've lost on your mind.
I saw them with Fall Out Boy a few weeks ago and cried when they played it.
Same, I had not been doing my proper concert homework so totally forgot about that song. One month after my dad died and I thought I was fine, I walked in right before they played that and found my single seat between strangers and basically just silently bawled throughout that entire song. Good impression on my new neighbors I’m sure… but it just hit me like a ton of bricks
Sonny was my first thought. I always loved that song, but after I lost someone close to me in 2006 it definitely hit different since then.
I always end up listening to Hear You Me when there's been a death so now I can't listen to it without wanting to cry.
Hear you me is emo though
How has no one mentioned Spanish Love Songs yet? Listen to brave faces everyone all the way through.
Truly shocked no one mentioned them, Brave Faces Everyone is devastating
Honestly this was so far down at time of commenting. The entire album Brave Faces Everyone is one of the most beautiful but devastating albums I’ve ever listened to.
i was gonna mention joana, in 5 acts too, but yeah spanish love songs absolutely has plenty of songs that fit the post lol
Haunted by SLS is literally one of my favorites
Something Corporate - Konstantine Sum 41 - What Am I To Say // Crash // Pieces Real Friends - Teeth // I’ve Given Up On You // Sixteen Marianas Trench - Lover Dearest // Alibis // Low
I'm a simple man. I see Marianas Trench, I upvote. When Josh writes a song about his addictions they are absolutely gut wrenching.
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY KONSTANTIIIIIIINE <333
Came here to say Pieces 🙏🏻
Motion City Soundtrack - You Hold Me Down (Makes me tear up just hearing it in my head.)
The first time I saw them play that live changed me as a person.
Oh lordy like half of the wonder years’ discography tbh. Pyramids of salt, we look like lightning, really the entire sister cities album. Goddamnitall. I just want to sell out my funeral. I could keep going, TWY just really hits.
Sleep In The Heat by PUP
“Yesterday I went back to apartment to see how you’ve been holding up. You haven’t been eating, I thought you were sleeping but you’re not waking up.” Every fucking time, dude.
Always reminds me of my late cat. I cry every time 😢
I have cried at every one of their shows I’ve gone to because of this song. It’s my only "always skip" because I can’t handle it
Listen to Clairvoyant by the story so far - trust me
No idea how this is so far down.
“The Saddest Song” by The Ataris
many songs by mayday parade. I don't love you by MCR also
Terrible Things by Mayday Parade :-(
This one. I can't listen to this song because there's people in my life who have lost partners due to terminal illness. Seeing that loss and trauma makes me terrified to lose my partner at a young age.
As an almost 31 year that lost her partner of 7 years to suicide when he was 29, can confirm that even two years later the loss still feels very traumatizing. The ending of this song “So don’t fall in love there’s just too much to lose” hits so hard on the bad days.
"Sing for Me" - Yellowcard "First Breath, Last Breath" - Senses Fail
Knowing that that First breath Last breath was written about his real experience of almost losing his wife during labor makes it so much harder.
A couple from hot mulligan. Everyone gets fucked up from Betty. I personally think smahccked my head awf is really sad. And heem wasn’t there is also a sad one.
[удалено]
Oh yeah I’ve definitely full on sobbed while driving and listening to that song. The lyrics hit hard af
Betty I absolutely can’t listen to anymore bc I recently got a golden retriever puppy and I always end up thinking about burying him and I spiral. My dad died in the snow a couple months before the album came out, and Smahaccked my Head hits really close to home. He was losing his clarity and coherence; would repeat things and never want to talk about it. I disappeared once I left for college and he really fell downhill with his anger and alcoholism. I do sometimes let myself wonder if he would have had a better go of it had I never left. Terrific song that makes me sympathize what Tades is going through. A rough one for sure.
Hot mulligan's Betty is probably one of the saddest songs I heard from a pop punk band.
Absolutely gutted. Occasionally I have e a couple drinks and end up putting that song on repeat and have the all time worst night ever.
Why do we do this to ourselves?
Do not, I repeat DO NOT listen to Weakerthans- Virtute the cat explains her Departure.
Hell yeah, everytime this song plays i just put it on repeat for some time and just feel it out for a while.
It coming out a week after my dog died didn’t help. But this 10000000%.
Slow Motion by Third Eye Blind
The Wonder Years - We Won’t Bury You
Remembering Sunday - All Time Low
Lost City Angels - Edge of 21 The Crush - And for You I’m Dying Now Alkaline Trio - Bleeder The Early November - Call of the bells Not pop punk but my favorite sad song without lyrics is The Blacktop Cadence - Unlucky
The Hot Water Music cover of Bleeder hits those emotions even harder.
Hate me - blue October
Ten by Yellowcard Harlows Song by Good Charlotte Crash by Sum 41
No one mentioned Motion city soundtracks "Hold me down" so I'm gonna. Hands down the best lyrical masterpiece they wrote with justins metaphors. That or "Happy anniversary" Edit* it was mentioned at the same time!
I'm serious Im sorry by Jeff Rosenstock. It's about not being there for someone who lost there spouse because you were a POS alcoholic
The Rest of my Life by Less Than Jake. For such an upbeat energetic band, this one is a real tear jerker that gets me whenever it pops up on streaming.
Ugh this song gets me every time. "It's gonna kill me, the rest of my life..."
Moose Blood - Spring
brutal one
Why is this so far down
blink-182: Adam’s Song, Stay Together For The Kids +44: Weatherman
My parents were going through a very tough time in their marriage right around Stay Together came out. Even though they've made it work and it's been 20+ years, I'm still transported back to that scared, sad teen wishing their parents would be okay every time I hear it.
Same situation. Parents divorced for the better. Moms doing great, dads alone in a big house. Glad yours made it through. Song def helped
Grapefruit - Aaron West & the Roaring Twenties All of Spanish Love Songs - Brave Faces Everyone Bleu - Broadside
Wasn’t sure if Aaron west counts as pop punk but if they do, pretty much the entirety of their discography is the saddest shit you’ll ever hear
As a struggling young adult, Passing Through A Screen Door by The Wonder Years especially the Burst and Decay version. That shit reminds me of how tired i am every fucking time.
I got really choked up when they played this song on their Greatest Generation anniversary tour. It was so cathartic and beautiful to scream-sing along with hundreds of people who get that pain
Just for clarity: I don't hate the emo genre. I just feel there's certain emo songs that don't resemble pop punk at all (e.g. "Never Meant") and I'm looking for sad songs that DO.

Sean - Trophy Eyes
Forever My Father by Go Radio
A lot of people here are saying "Hold Me Down" by MCS, but a few tracks earlier is "L.G.FAUD" "Winter" by Bayside "Megan" by Smoking Popes
L.G.FUAD is sad? I mean sure it’s from the perspective of feeling like you’re on the sidelines of your own life (kinda), but the melody is hella-bouncy and the lyrics are all over the place.
Most of MCS sounds bouncy and happy, but the lyrics are devastating
Winter by bayside is such a good one
Alkaline Trio - Blue in the Face Neck Deep - December +44 - Little Death +44 - Lillian Knucke Puck - Untitled Mayday Parade - Miserable at Best Mayday Parade - Terrible Things Really hard not to include bands like Taking Back Sunday that are for sure pop-punk but may be considered emo by some people…
Again, not pop punk, but a hard to beat option is definitely Cory Wells
He honestly deserves so much more love than he gets. Saw him live and it was so good!
I am beyond jealous, I doubt we would ever get him to come through my corner of TX but he is def one of my top bucket list concerts And I agree, he should be huge because IMHO he really speaks to all my favorite genres but that is why I will promote him every chance I get
Touche amore - flowers and you Frank ocean - white Ferrari Death cab for cutie - a lack of color; what Sarah said Radiohead - motion picture soundtrack Third eye blind - god of wine; the background Twenty one pilots - truce Mac miller - dunno (Spotify sessions) Those are some of my favorites for when I want to cry lmao Edit: just read the caption saying you wanted specifically pop punk genre, so my bad
Great TEB picks. Those were the first sad songs I ever fell in love with.
Moose Blood: Cherry, Girl, I hope you're miserable Neck Deep: Candour, December The Story So Far: Clairvoyant, Navy blue, Loro Citizen: Drown, Sleep, The night I drove alone, Heaviside Foxing: Rory Marianas Trench: Porcelain, By now, So soon Tigers Jaw: Never saw it coming, Plane vs tank vs submarine
Sorority Noise is pretty bleak at times.
Some Say - Sum 41 Welcome To My Life, Perfect - Simple Plan
Hot Mulligan- Shmacked My Head Awf
Disenchanted by my chemical romance is pretty sad
exhale - rarity
View from Heaven by Yellow card. Makes me cry every damn time. **Especially** the acoustic version.
Deadbed - Relient K Prepare to weep for the story
spring - moose blood
Terrible Things- Mayday Parade
Any acoustic version of Dammit by Blink-182, too relatable
It fits more within the context of the album, but “a bitter divorce” by captain we’re sinking is a good one.
I'll go a different direction. Millencolin - No Cigar. It's an upbeat song, but if you pay attention to the lyrics it is sad but encouraging. At least that's how it is for me!
Wow what a pick. I can honestly say I’ve never taken in those lyrics apparently, bc I’ve heard that song a hundred times and never thought it was sad. I’ll go back and check it out!
Aaron west and the roaring twenties - Routine Maintenance Idk if it counts as pop-punk but its pop-punk adjacent
Grapefruit is their saddest song imo. The whole second verse had me sobbing down 95.
All Time Low - Jasey Rae Sum 41 - Best of Me Stars - Your Ex-Lover Is Dead Yellowcard - A Place We Set Afire Neck Deep - Wish You Were Here A Day To Remember - If It Means Alot To You Minor Acts of Cannibalism - I’m Glad Its You
Hot Mulligan - SPS I'm in recovery and it feels like all my old friends are singing this about me.
I love They Looked Like Strong Hands by Bayside Not sure if you consider Bayside as a pop punk band... but love the band and love the Never Ending Story reference as well.
Also the song Winter about their drummer who died in a tour van crash
The Hotelier-Home, Like No Place Is There. The entire album is one sad story. Dendron gets me specifically
Not really sure where The Spill Canvas falls in the emo/emo-adjacent/pop punk, but The Tide is genuinely heartbreaking story
Hot Mulligan has a song about the lead singer’s beloved grandmother battling with what I’m assuming is Alzheimer’s, and if you pay attention to the lyrics it’s unfathomably sad. I can’t think of a sadder song from a high-energy band. Genre labels are a tool for dying radio stations and deader record stores, but I feel like what you were asking is “name a sad song from a band that isn’t known for primarily making sad songs.”
Bearings - North Hansen
Eiley- Too Close To Touch
Keaton the vocalist passed away last year, this a song he wrote about passing of his little sister, the emotion in the words is heartwrenching
Grayscale - Tommy’s Song
It's absurd I had to scroll almost to the bottom of this thread to find this. Grayscale is totally forgotten about these days.
not really pop punk per se, but the spill canvas has some pretty emo lyrics. self-conclusion and the tide come to mind immediately, but there are many
I got a hot take here and am prepared to accept the down votes. MGK’s Lonely and Play This When I’m Gone I genuinely had no idea who MGK was when a friend introduced me to Tickets to My Downfall so I didn’t realize that he’s kind of… eugh for awhile. That album does fit the pop punk genre regardless of whether people think it’s good or he’s a tourist in the genre or whatever, and those two songs specifically I listened to a lot and were very emotionally cathartic for me while I was watching my dad and aunt dying in the hospital. Also on a similar note but less pop punk and more ??? (What genre do we consider them?) What Sarah Said by death cab for cutie
It's dammit. every single guy has gone through that shit.
There is (box car racer), I miss you, all of this, always (blink-182), Jamie all over, miserable at best (mayday parade)
Forever yours by Grayscale always gets me in the feels. Especially watching the music video
Atavan Halen/Hum Hallelujah by Fall Out Boy are pretty fucked up songs when you know the context
hereditary by telltale
I was scrolling to see if this one was mentioned!
it’s a gut punch of a song truly hurts to listen to sometimes
Badflower - Ghost, or Promise Me are ones that come to mind
Save You by Simple Plan
Self plug, my band Lyndhurst has a song called "I'm Sorry for the Way I Am". My singer wrote this song and goddamn, it's still so good. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=I15SPDCkHJ8&si=GHpyoeyU4Hcaru_v
the song that gets me every time is Hold Me Down -Motion City Soundtrack
Free Throw - Tips For Safe Travels I know everyone has said Trophy Eyes - Sean but I want to like 27th it!
The wonder years, most of their songs.

Hard to fit that description -- "Terrible Things" by Mayday Parade is maybe one of the saddest, but it's pretty emo I think. Mayday Parade as a *band* is pretty "pop punk" but this song in particular is emotional.
