Joey + Rory "To Say Goodbye" (haven't listened to this since Joey passed, that's gonna be hard) "When I'm Gone" is even worse. It's chilling that they recorded that song several years before what happened to Joey. :'(

There aren't really any songs that make me cry with each listen, but I love sad songs. I could listen to them all day everyday. Like some people when they work out have like hype music, but I could literally just work out (not that I do) to like "For My Broken Heart", "So You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore", "Don't Close Your Eyes", and so many others like that. Sad songs give me life, oddly enough.

Oops… I googled the thread and didn't realize where it was. (There was a thread with the same subject but in a different section and I thought I was posting in that.) Mea culpa!

I could have sworn I posted in this thread , but apparently not.
Just A Dog - Mo Pitney & Pete's Sake - Jason Matthews. I'm a huge dog guy , and have had to put several down over the years. These songs don't "make me cry" , they destroy me.
I'm Moving On- Rascal Flatts I don't review it often anymore , but every now and then this one still gets me and what I was going through when it was a single.
Elephant - Jason Isbell
Somebody Should Leave - Reba
I Just Drove By - Wynonna
Since You've Gone To Heaven - Brandy Clark
No Time To Cry - Merle Haggard (and) Joe Nichols
When The Bartender Crys - Michael Peterson
It Gets Better , What We Aint Got , Learning To Live Alone - Travis Meadows
Me John & Paul - Grascals Damn. That last verse
Father Son & The Holy Ghost - Dean Dillon I'm lucky to still have my folks around. That still doesn't stop this song from making me a bit teary eyed.
I Drive Your Truck - Lee Brice
She Loved A lot In Her Time - George Jones
Little Brother , The Key & Go Rest High On The Mountain - Vince Gill
Waiting Around To Die - Townes Van Zandt Just sheer desperation.
Stay - Sugarland I've been on both sides of this one.
Melancholy Blue - Rebecca Lynn Howard
If I Don't Make It Back - Tracy Lawrence One of my best friends was in special forces for years. Thankfully he always came home. That still doesn't stop this song from punching me in the gut.
This Is Country Music - Brad Paisley It may sound goofy as this song isn't particularly a sad song but the following line raises a chill. Every. Single. Time. "Are you haunted by the echo of your mother, on the phone Cryin' as she tells you that your brother is not coming home?"
I love sad songs and could go on and on and on......

I too am shocked I've never posted here. I could have swore I did before. Just like Uncle Lumpy, I too gravitate towards sad songs (in any genre), not sure why since I am generally a very happy person. Some of these songs below I have never necessarily cried to (I will admit some I have), but they would leave one feeling very emotional. Also, since having a son a few years back, anything related to children literally tears me up.
Before These Walls Were Blue by Wade Bowen: His voice is so smooth on this track, and the song is basically about how his son changed him. The last verse really gets me . "Now I believe in dinosaurs, toy trains and baseball; And what are you gonna be for Halloween? ; I'll be the villain and you'll be the hero; And save the day just like the way that you saved me". I will fully admit, with no shame, I have sobbed uncontrollably at this song. LOL. And as recently as like 3 weeks ago. Sometimes I skip it when it comes on, even though I love the song, just not in the mood to cry sometimes.
Shannon's Song ( Til I See You Again) by Kevin Moon: Very sad song about losing his brother (I think). Love the stripped down production, and his voice is great.
Remember Whenby Alan Jackson: Yes I know, kind of corny, but gotta admit this song hits all the right spots. Just a great song about looking back at your life, even in a bittersweet way.
Humble and Kindby Tim McGraw: Such a good message. This would be my letter to my son if anything were to ever happen to me.
Some Gave All by Billy Ray Cyrus: If your patriotic at all, this one will get you. Every 4th of July and Memorial Day local stations play this every hour.
Flashlight by Chris Young: My dad had classic muscle cars when I was growing up. I remember holding the flashlight and wrenches for him, exactly as this song says.
Good Timin' Man by Whitey Morgan & 78's: I can relate to this. I have a Type A personality, but sometimes I'm just not up to " everyday life" in general (a la going to work, stresses etc). Usually within miliseconds, my peers, friends, family , coworkers can tell there's something wrong. So then I get asked every 5 minutes the rest of the day if I am ok. Sometimes just wanna be left alone on bad days. What's wrong with that LOL
If Something Should Happen by Darryl Worley : Overall just depressing. A guy telling his friend what to do if he passes from his illness. Still , it's real life and why I love country music.
Play Me The Waltz of the Angels by The Derailers: Song about an old man requesting the band to play a song that his wife loved and they used to dance to. Side note, also has a very haunting steel guitar outro solo.
Can't Be Replaced by Dierks Bentley: Amen to this song
Those I've Loved by Eric Church: Probably the best song on most likely his best album, IMO.
You Made Me What I Amby Joe Diffie: I definitely used to wait with my ball and glove for my dad to get home. He would get out of his work truck, and before going inside, he would hit me pop flys for hours. To this day I can catch anything out of the sky. haha.
If I Could Only Fly by Joe Nichols/Merle Haggard: Beautiful song. that is it.
To Say Goodbyeby Joey + Rory: This one is actually just really , really depressing LOL. Another song I usually skip over unless its a really rainy day in the middle of November.
Furthermore, I am actually going through a separation with my wife right now that kind of has my world upside down. Thankfully, it is amicable and we are getting along great. But there is ALOT of songs that are like speaking directly to me at the moment
Aaron Watson "Off The Record" Jarrod Birmingham "26 Weekends a Year" and "Grew Up Today" Chris Stapleton "Either Way" Brett Young "In Case You Didn't KNow" . Literally I could be singing this to my wife, it speaks everything I want to say.
Thanks y'all, long live sad country songs. I could type 100 + more
