What albums have made you cry and why?
>>66224131
man who are these gay as fuck hippies
When my best friend died, I over played this.
>>66224131
what do u think of the white album
>>66224185
it's obviously a compilation of beatles songs, but there are some points of the album where it really flows like Bungalow Bill - While My Guitar, Helter Skelter - Long, Long, Long, Cry Baby Cry - Revolution 9 and so on. Great album
>>66224266
hmm ok. what do u think of rubber soul and abbey
>>66224317
Rubber is like the final step of the transition from the boyband to the experimental beatles that most fans love.
Abbey for me is like the peak of the band and like a conclusion to Rock music, you just can't get enough of that ending.
Take me home to the place where I belong
>>66224397
interesting. what are your favorite solo works.
>>66224427
you know that you can ask everything in one reply, nice memeing right there friend.
my favorite solo works are ram, band on the run, mccartney i, imagine, plastic ono band, all things must pass, cloud nine. my favorite solo career overall is paul's
>>66224427
this and Band on the Run are better than anything the Beatles released.
Pour alcohol on top of this combined with your troubles and it's clear.
>>66224484
You're talking about All Things Must Pass anon. Nobody cares about Paul's granny vaudeville songs.
This is kind of embarrassing. I broke up with my girlfriend just the day before and the track 'Without Me' just really made me feel really down about everything and I ended up tearing up about it.

I always cry to Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp because I want to play it at my wedding. Just picturing such an important event in my life and the dream of a qt I'll love forever makes me cry. Hope it ever happens though.
>>66224519
>the contrarian gets angry
I can relate on every level and it was released right before she died
>>66224256
Forgot to say why. I guess because before this the only Van Morrison I had heard was Brown Eyed Girl so I guess I was expecting that. I was not prepared for the pure beauty.
>>66224417
Don't ever watch the movie this album was the soundtrack to. It'll rip your heart out.
>>66224256
This. Lonely, snowy new years day.
>>66224643
The movie about the guy and his dying wife in the 70s with Sunshine on my Shoulders.
>>66224519
Because of Casimir Pulaski Day
>On the floor at the great divide
>With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied
>I am crying in the bathroom
Fuck dude that line gets me every time, I'm welling up just typing it
>>66224397
rubber soul isn't experimental
>>66224684
Move is called "Sunshine". Yes
>>66224131
this is the first time i finally realised mccartney isnt wearing shoes
>>66224870
yes it is
they experimented with sitars and talking about anything else that wasn't fucking "love" for once
you realize that experimental doesn't always means some guy farting and screaming over dissonant instruments right?
>>66224923
Makes sense because he was dead
I listened to this six or seven times over the course of four days after my girlfriend broke up with me. Didn't sleep at all. I'll be damned if I didn't sob like a baby listening to "Friendships and Love" at 5 am after being up for 50 something hours.
>>66224947
Lol
>band does something slightly weird
>they're "experimental" now
The word is so fucking overused by p4k drones looking to validate their taste
>>66224185
the white album clicked for me recently. I used to think it was overrated because a good number of the songs were throwaways and not top quality.
Now I realize that the throwaway songs are just fun interludes in a huge sample platter that is the white album
>>66224992
you fucking underages wanna make me kill myself
experimentation is doing something out of the ordinary
the Beatles were used to doing simple meme love songs
they EXPERIMENTED using a sitar in Norwegian wood, and it worked out
that's called experimentation
fucking shithead
>>66224947
i do agree with the sitar, but it's on one song. they weren't exactly the first musicians to talk about something other than love. and like half the songs on Rubber Soul are about love.
I love Rubber Soul, not trying to hate on them. but I just wouldn't call it experimental. i like how it incorporates influences from artists like Dylan and the Byrds. and its got one of the comfiest atmospheres i know.
I wish as a tree, but I'm not.
>>66225066
Did I trigger you?
Experimental music doesn't mean weird pop, it means EXPERIMENTAL
I turned on Happy Xmas (War Is Over) once for the luls and for some reason it started triggering thoughts of my mom dying and I started crying like a bitch
>>66224966
fuck yeah anon. love that album. Let's Go Away gets me every time
>>66224519
>vaudeville
I see you actually read Scaruffi's essay too famalam
>>66225066
>>66224992
why are you talking about pitchfork when the album was released in the 60's
it was obviously experimental at the time, not by today's standards
fag
>>66225566
the only experimental aspect of the album is the sitar on one song
>>66225473
I'm glad you feel me anon. This album feels me too
>>66224597
is not liking Paul being a contrarian?
i thought it was consensus he is a little too faggy and for little girls only
>>66225735
You mean the only Beatle who cared 100% about the music? The reason that any of their post-revolver albums were even made?
They were actually tears of joy.
I was a total shut-in at the time and everything I watched/listened to/played was just to keep myself occupied and my anxious thoughts distracted. I bought SoS just because my favorite radio show used to intro with North American Scum, but didn't give it a listen until nearly a year later. I was going through piles of crap and dirty clothes in my room when I found it, still wrapped and in an FYE bag with receipt. I thought "Oh good, more distracting background noise to play", but by track 4 I was completely absorbed. I was actually enjoying something; I felt like I was human again and started crying when I realized how much fun I was having.
Years later I cried again when I finally bought my first car and listened to 'Us V Them' the whole ride home.
>>66224131
climax of Golden Slumbers has made me cry desu, can't think of any other album that has done it though
>>66225126
But just think about the word by itself, not the albums/artists usually attatched to it
The Beatles experimented with Rubber Soul because they did something they had never done before and tested (aka experimented) a new sound and a new set of ideas, get it? That's experimentation by definition
>>66225735
Paul is one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century, he was fucking amazing at creating melodies, few artists are as good as him at his peak.
John, Paul, were George are all great songwriters, but Paul was the best
John cared too much about making a statement and about the lyrics, George could get too wanky and self-indulgent if he wasn't given a limit (see Within You Without You and disc 3 from All Things Must Pass)
![Hospice-The_Antlers_480[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/52kcPwl.jpg "Hospice-The_Antlers_480[1].jpg")
For I think obvious reasons.
>>66224870
That's why its a transition. the songwriting got more mature, and they flirted with atypical instrumentation. This resulted in revolver.
>>66226195
I'd cry too if I had to listen to that shit.
>>66226219
What do you listen to? Drake and Katy Perry?
I don't know, the closing of the title track just provokes such an emotional response to me, it's so beautiful. It sounds like a man who's completely come to terms with the ebb and flow of his existence and just falls into it as birds sing and water glistens. It some of the most intensely beautiful music I've heard, and something about it just calls on all of the emotions, joyous and sad. I've actually found myself with my eyes closed and my head back as the track ends as that falling rush of ambiance leads into And You and I.
Illinois, sufjan Stevens
>>66226353
honestly this holy shite....so fucking powerful
>>66224839
Just listened to this. Cried like a bitch.
>>66226353
so true. I think its the most epic ending to any song ive ever heard, and it accomplishes it without seeming too grandiose. And even if it is grandiose, it is deservedly so
>>66226324
I finally get to confirm someone else has listened to this gem of an album.
John Denver - Sunshine on My Shoulders
I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane to a lesser extent as well.
Beach House - Depression Cherry
My ex gf got me into beach house and we used to cuddle while listening to it and I bawl my eyes out every time I hear it now
![Kanye West-808s And Heartbreak [Front].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/1U8dUx2.jpg "Kanye West-808s And Heartbreak [Front].jpg")
>>66226195
>>66226324
These 3 are the holy feels trinity for me
Katy Perry - Firework
>>66227128
Fuck off.
This album brought me to tears after downing about half a bottle of red, and reflecting on my seemingly meaningless life... Of course a girl I once knew was involved, but damn, this album touched me in a unique place.
>>66227314
Was just about to post this. Same, my nigga.
I'm kind of ashamed of this one because it's not even the songs on the album that get me, it's the fucking album cover. I was with a girl for a while, and she had a shirt that I swear to God looked exactly like this minus the text, and she used to wear it all the time, and she was also sleeping with someone else the whole time we were dating. After she broke up with me, I realized the connection between the album and shirt, and I kind of broke down. I still don't like listening to it.
She was the only person I ever truly loved, /mu/. It's been four years.
>>66227511
It's tough when you love someone and they don't love you back. Stay well, anon. Sending love from behind my monitor <3
This always reminds me of my childhood, I'm 19 now and dealing with being an adult is hard for me
>>66224613
My mother is fine but I still tear up at the Fourth of July
I'd just broken up with the girl I lost my virginity to. These lines from Chateau Lobby #4 got me:
>First night you let me spend the night despite your own rules
>You took off early to go cheat your way through film school
>You left a note in your perfect script: "Stay as long as you want"
>I haven't left your bed since
It perfectly encapsulates the feeling I had when I lost my virginity. Just wanting to stay there forever, in that moment.
>>66227969
I lost my virginity to that song lol
>>66228021
I lost my virginity outdoors in a small clearing in the woods on the autumn morning of my 18th birthday. There was no music but that of the birds, but every time I hear Josh Tillman sing, it takes me back to that awkward, beautiful, amazing moment. It was the best morning of my life. And even though his music wasn't playing then, Josh Tillman's voice always takes me back to those few hours we spent in that forest together.
>>66227864
lol
>>66228130
that sounds really beautiful.
do you still have contact with her
>>66224839
what song is that again, want to listen to it too
Two words: Family Snapshot
just dont leave
>>66224839
This.
>tuesday night at the Bible study,
>we lift our hands and pray over your body,
>but nothing ever happens.
Kentucky Avenue came pretty close.
>>66232584
...as did If You See Her, Say Hello
Fucking Duk Koo Kim man...
>>66232859
Forgot album.
>>66228130
I lost my virginity while Christmas with The Kranks was on TV
I Just Wasn't Made for These Times gets me every time
>>66224173
That last refrain of "SAY HELLO TO HEAVEN" gives me goosebumps to this day.
>>66224131
Probably my own EP because i was so satisfied with the result
>>66232977
I lost mine to a 4'6" 27 y/o married woman with blue hair on my course at uni earlier this year. Listened to Daft Punk - RAM for like 2 days and fucked. Shit was cash.
>>66233436
But I didn't cry because I'm not a bitch.
>>66233436
Hell yeah, I'll grunt to that
HARUGHAEURH AURGH GUAHRG
>>66233007
This. Don't Talk and Caroline No are the ones that make me cry though.
>>66232625
>sun down yellow moon
>i replay the past
>i know every scene by heart
>they all went by so fast
>>66233466
post more tim the toolman taylor
>>66233805
SURE THING AL
Once cried like a fucking baby at Just Am
I don't even know why
>>66224613
>>66224839
>>66226195
>>66227314
>>66233007
these
I cried to this LP the most during my early teens. Pls no bully.
>>66224185
Reminder to all that the White Album is the greatest album of all time, not just the best Beatles album
>>66224613
This.
I listened to it after my dog died
Listened to this for the first time on the day that I broke up with my girlfriend of over a year not realizing it's a breakup album.
>>66225735
Paul McCartney is dead
I wish I had the emotional capacity to cry from something as trivial as art
>>66234566
He's obviously not because what are the chances his lookalike could perfectly imitate his voice, also be a great songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, and play left-handed? But even putting that aside, for argument's sake let's say he did die and was replaced, who the fuck cares anyway? His apparent replacement made Revolver, Sgt Pepper, MMT, White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be, so I prefer him to the "real" Paul anyway.
>>66224519
>Nobody cares about Paul's granny vaudeville songs.
enjoy your shitty sitar songs and jams you fucking fag
george's best song was a rip-off
>>66233729
>if she's passing back this way, I'm not that hard to find
>tell her she can look me up, if she's got the time
Such understated heartbreak. Great song.
>>66234663
All 3 were phenomenal songwriters.
Paul
>Penny Lane
>Helter Skelter
>most of the Abbey Road medley
>Hey Jude
>Paperback Writer
John
>Happiness Is A Warm Gun
>I Want You (She's So Heavy)
>Nowhere Man
>Tomorrow Never Knows
>Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
George
>Taxman
>Love You To
>Here Comes the Sun
>If I Needed Someone
>Something
Just 5 of the top of my head for each
I'm going to get shit for this but the track Warning Sing on A Rush of Blood to the Head makes me cry
Also And So it Goes by Billy Joel makes me think of my ex
>>66232453
this one
the ending of give up the ghost was too much for me.
>>66227864
pussy
when she says "in a mirror | you are mine" I just break down. because reasons.
>>66235295
>because feelings
Stop talking like a tumblrina
When I was 16 and my then Girlfriend had just broken up with me I spent the whole summer sat in my room listening to this.
>>66232736
This.
>>66235782
Forgot to say why
It was the soundtrack to a few very depressed years in my life
>>66227106
>Goodbye my friend, will I ever love again?
Surf's up, to this day, remains the only song to make me tear up solely based on how perfect it was.
>>66224613
I nominate Fourth of July for objectively the saddest song ever written
It hits wayyy too close home
This is the album that showed me how beautiful music could be and I was simply not prepared for the immense power of the song Storm. What I'd give to be able to hear it for the first time again.
>>66224131
>Difficult not to feel a little bit disappointed, and passed over
When I've looked right through, see you naked but oblivious.
And you don't.....see....me
Self Explanatory
>>66235848
The last minute of that song is one of the most beautiful arrangements ever made
Gish and Siamese Dream are tear jerkers
I listened to those alot in my neet years, living in the middle of nowhere with my schizophrenic mom and never doing anything. It's hard to listen to them anymore without being reminded of how lonley it was
Also not an album, but Sun Of Nothing by btbam is damn feelsy.
>"This song is about a man that gets tired of his life. He decides the only natural way to rid himself of this world is to fly to the sun and burn his body. He builds a rocket ship (he has already been named the “spaceman” in his town) and starts his journey. The song is the thought process during his voyage towards death. He evaluates all the different aspects of his life and towards the end realizes he had it better than most. He has regret but there’s no turning back cause he is already floating towards the sun."
Ya i know, the whole spaceship thing is a cheesy metaphor but the message hits you in the feels
The first time I heard it I was at my university library with my headphones on, and I remember I had a very hard time trying to hold back tears even though I was surrounded by other students. Once I got home I played it and it was the first and only record I cried to due to music being extremely beautiful and actually feeling moved and touched by the lyrics, melodies and singing.
Both my favorite album and band of all times.
>Whistle Down the Wind
I usually get teary eyed over the smallest fucking lines and blow them out of proportion, so this song killed me. I first heard this when I was leaving my hometown and heading off for university.
