Enjoy the Silence, specifically the Tori Amos cover.
Kalimankou Denkou by the Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir
I would say most of radiohead but ever since Thom outed himself as a zionist pig I haven't been able to listen since. For old times sake though:
- Exit Music (For A Film)
- No Surprises
Exit music resonates largely because I would daydream about running away from my shitass parents and actually did it one day which follows into no surprises and my constant battle against depression and suicidal ideation.
Then we have:
- Tame Impala - Let It Happen
- Pink Floyd β Time
- Losing You Β· Ephixa Β· Laura Brehm
- All the Light We Don't See that leads into Lily & the Moon - Thornhill The Dark Pool. The entire album is a full piece though so the whole thing needs listening
- Lorn - 'Weigh Me Down'
- Let You Down by Dawid PodsiadΕo
- Bastion - Setting Sail, Coming Home
- Death Stranding 2: Are You There, Lou?
- The entire Nier replicant soundtrack and game but Snow in Summer hits different (ε€γιͺ)
- Failure - Stuck on You
- Into Dust, Mazzy Star, also fade into you, look down from the bridge
- Mirror's Edge Theme Song - Still Alive
- BLACK HOLE SUN, WONT YOU COME, AND WASH AWAY THE RAIN
- TOOL - Sober
- Sleep Party People - I'm Not Human At All
- The final performance in Your Lie in April (spoilers if you intend on watching the anime which you should)
- Chroma key - Colorblind (because chroma key dropped some serious bangers then just vanished)
I could go on and on and on for this one because sad music is like a good 70% of my music as sad is about 70% of my life. I won't go through all of them but general themes of struggling with addiction, depression, loss, parental abuse, low self esteem etc etc.
From a young age I thought about going to war and what that would be like. My father was quite nationalistic and even asked me once (when I was like 10 or 12 or 13) if I would enlist in a defensive war against the USA, if I was 18. When I said yes he was as proud as I'd ever seen him. I watched band of brothers with him and my brother quite often, also from a young age, I spent a lot of time trying to get inside the minds of the soldiers there, so as to understand if I could perform in that kind of environment, and what it would take to do so.
When I hear, Green Fields of France, John McDermott, it reminds me of the fear I had as a kid watching those movies/shows, wondering if one of those soldiers might be me. Through the tragedy I saw on screen I learned to steel my heart, and this song returns me to what I encased within, the innocence I buried because that's what I thought being a man was. I've been a woman my whole life, but I didn't know then. What I did know was that manhood was something I had to perform. On some level I knew being a man wasn't inherent to me, so I constructed one inside of me.
The first time I heard this song I was riding in my Dad's car, younger than the above, and so hearing the song connects me to that time, and how scary it was when I first started to reckon with the idea of whether I'd go to war in the future.
Memories of you P3 cover by Sapphire
Literally can't listen to this without crying because it was playing while my dog was dying as I rushed him to the vet and coincidentally right after I put my dog down and had to immediately go to work right after. I can listen to the original version of the song, any other kind of cover or remix, but this specific song is tightly associated to that trauma.
The Kingston Trio version of Where Have All the Flowers Gone always hits hard. It's a Pete Seeger song originally but I believe it was the Kingston Trio that tacked on the extra final verse, and I think it adds a lot
Jinjer - Home Back has been getting to me more and more ever since seeing that "8 Years Before" documentary on Donbass.
I got you
Killswitch Engage - Rose of Sharyn 20 year old music video hell yea
Downtown Binary & The Present Sound - Polaris
Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On
Dead Sky - Severed Steel Soundtrack
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Until Next Life (no spoilers)
most of these are melancholic or moody electronic tracks so not totally what you asked for but it's a good exercise to think of these tunes anyway
Porter Robinson & Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Unfold
Allister Brimble - RoboCop (feat. Jonathan Dunn)
Henrik B - Elektronik Kry (second half of the track in particular)
Hermann & Kleine - Leaving You Behind Without Knowing Where To Go
This album, A Crow Looked at Me, is raw expression of Phil Elverum's grief following the passing of his wife Genevieve. It's the most heart-wrenching album I've heard and it spirals me into depression any time I listen.
I havent cried to these songs in a long time
King Crimson - I talk to the wind
Nothing does it every time, but this Unthanks song (and many more of theirs) is pretty affecting, and not only because the lyrics are directly inspired by true events. The lead vocalists are sisters and harmonize spookily.
Giorni Dispari - Ludovico Einaudi
I've been mulling on this since the thread went up. I've never been moved to tears by music alone. I put it down to trauma or my brand of neurodivergence
Cocksparrer- Because You're Young
New Jeans - Ditto

When Hanni looks out at the crowd and tears up 
Hannah Diamond - Want U To Know https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu1wxsSFCC4
Produce 48 - Truth Untold (cover) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVDziFxB_Eo
Miyu Takeuchi's lead at 1:46/7 followed by gyuri's backing vocals breaks me.
Can I post the entire Radiohead discography?
Im loving this thread and got some reslly good stuff to check out, so coming back with some heart wrenchers:
Iris Dement: Our Town
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hiSX9PNRyyc&up=
Johnny Cash: The Ballad or Irah Hayes
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oEwSwQtSmDQ&pp=
