Tear-jerker songs in Western music: The world's recommended sob-inducing tracks (61–70)
Sometimes I CryEric Benét
It’s a sexy, mature heartbreak song.
The lyrics are very straightforward: I still can’t forget you.
Even while putting on a brave face, the honest feelings are unbearably painful—it’s a classic filled with that kind of aching sadness.
Heartbreak AnniversaryGiveon
There may be no other song that portrays the pain of heartbreak this deeply.
Giveon’s distinctive baritone gently digs up the emotions buried in the depths of the heart.
The pangs of sadness that strike whenever you recall the day you parted, and the way the remaining mementos quietly speak to you, are exquisitely expressed through delicate lyrics and melody.
Released in March 2020 and nominated for a Grammy the following year, this work is recommended for times when you want to heal the pain of a broken heart or reaffirm your bond with someone special.
Why not spend some time facing your own feelings, accompanied by Giveon’s voice?
Because of youKelly Clarkson
This song features beautiful piano and has a very melancholic tone.
When I first listened to it, I thought it was a heartbreak song, but after looking into it, I found that it was composed based on Kelly’s true story and expresses her feelings of anger toward her father.
I Hope You DanceLee Ann Womack
This country song encourages you to embrace new challenges.
It was reportedly written by Tia Sillers when she divorced her husband.
Life brings many hardships, but they are small in the grand scheme of things, and greater happiness awaits beyond them—making this a hopeful, uplifting ballad.
Without YouMariah Carey
Included on the 1993 album Music Box.
A cover of the single released in 1970 by the Welsh band Badfinger.
Born in 1970, she is a singer and actress from New York.
Set to a slow, moody melody, her soulful vocals are superb and undeniably touch the heartstrings.
Heal The WorldMichael Jackson
Included on the 1991 album “DANGEROUS.” Born in 1958, a singer-songwriter from Indiana.
With a gently unfolding rhythm, strings, and chorus that convey a sense of kindness matching the beautiful melody line, the lyrics about life and the problems of the world are deeply moving.
To Be With YouMr. BIG
A song to encourage a heartbroken girl.
Even among Mr.
BIG’s British hard rock repertoire, this one is a rare pop tune.
I imagine many girls would love to be comforted like this.
Sing it to a girl who’s feeling down.
