Re: Best Tear Inducing Music

Sorry, I continually get John McCormack and John McDermott mixed up. The man in the video is John McDermott, and he was one of the original Irish Tenors.

FYI: to me, what gets me crying is invariably the words. The music, not so much. And for a song that inevitably gets my temperature rising - in a GOOD way - there's "Where's the Girl" from The Scarlet Pimpernel by Terrence Mann. That song is pure seduction!

A good British-Irish ballad can work wonders when you need to help someone's tears begin flowing. Danny Boy, Barbara Allen, The Water is Wide, Wife of Usher's Well, etc,..

I definitely agree.  I grew up Irish-Catholic and my little cousins and I always sang Danny Boy at family wakes and funerals.  I haven't been to church in quite some time, but a lot of the Irish hymns we used to sing still give me goosebumps.

I'm not much of a crier typically, but I'm partial to sad songs.  The right kind of melody can make me tear up in a way that almost feels more physical than emotional. Here are a few of my old and new favorites:

Re: Best Tear Inducing Music

Hi all

I've been lurking around for a couple of weeks since I started experimenting with crying intentionally. As my name indicates, I'm still not able to completely convince myself. Anyway, this thread hits close to my heart so I thought it's a good time to say hello.

I'm naturally not very easily reduced to tears and when I am, I've gotten good at fighting it. I don't think I'd ever be comfortable making myself cry intentionally.

I'm a robot in real life, if anything I tend to get mad rather than sad. I think I cried twice in the last 20 years, my recent hobby not included. Fortunately, in private I have no shame, pushing my comfort zone is part of the fun.

My emotional repression may be part of why I'm having a difficult time at getting tears. I'm hoping that with practice, I can overcome this issue.

Thanks for the music suggestions, everyone, I'm definitely trying them all on for size.

Re: Best Tear Inducing Music

This isn't really related to the thread topic but goes along the lines of some of the discussion so I'll put it here- another quirk of my fetish I'm realizing. I know some people here are like me in that they can't enjoy movie/tv crying scenes as much if there's others watching with them.

Well apparently I can't even if there's people watching that aren't actually with me-

on youtube I stumbled across an awards show. The british soap scenes that were discussed in this thread- http://cryinglovers.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=1128 -

apparently the guy we were talking about just won some awards for his performance a few weeks ago, and at the awards show, for the "example" scene of the acting they showed 2 different clips that we had linked in threads here and talked about how good of crying scenes they are.

well I got pretty uncomfortable watching his clips....despite the fact i've watched it multiple times on my "own" lol, but something about the OTHER PEOPLE in the audience seeing it "with me"  weirded me out. is that crazy or what lol


edit: here's one of the 2 awards presentations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioSNbvUOaeM

Re: Best Tear Inducing Music

I've never actually cried at music but some tunes go pretty close. I was listening to a cover version of 'One Moment In Time' by Whitney Houston and nearly cried, the story of the song is quite moving to me given that it's about an athlete who trains for an ultimate goal and succeeds at the end of the song.

On a very personal level the song 'On My Own' from Les Miserables can do it for me as well. Samantha Barks truly breaks my heart when she sings it in the film

Re: Best Tear Inducing Music

These are two heartbreaking songs from the musical "The Secret Garden", performed by Steven Pasquale and Laura Benanti.  In "Where in the World" a widower despairs of living in a world without his wife.  In "How Could I Ever Know" his dead wife appears and sings to him.  Pasquale is looking pretty teary by the end of "How Could I Ever Know."  I know I am.  These songs KILL me.

The Secret Garden is my favorite musical, and I agree about those songs.

How about Michael Crawford singing "Not Too Far from Here"?  The words "crying" and "tear" are even in the song:

Re: Best Tear Inducing Music

I ran into this song again - it's one of my very favorites (practically written for me!) but I hadn't realized just how tear-inducing it is - you can even see Donna Murphy tear up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAGONVc4HAw

​And then, this one, also from Passion.  Jere Shea and Donna Murphy both weeping - as am I. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o27q9QEFMU&list=RD3o27q9QEFMU#t=8

I remember when my now husband first said he loved me - I was 36, had never had anyone tell me that before, and I remember blurting out "Say it again" and when he had, saying "Once more!"
