Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears


This is mine, light classical piano. What's yours?

 

ryder

Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now"

Iris Dement's "Our Town"

Neil Young's "Sugar Mountain" and "Old Man"

 

Just a few off the top of my head that always break me down like a cheap lawn chair.

" I Can't Make You Love Me" Bonnie Raitt

"Prisoner in Disguise" Linda Ronstadt

"Tracks Of My Tears" Linda Ronstadt

"Alone Again (Naturally)" Gilbert O'Sullivan

"He Stopped Loving Her Today" George Jones

"Baby Can I Hold You" Tracy Chapman

"I'm Not Going To Miss You" Glen Campbell

I don't know how you listen to music, but sometimes I just want to wallow in the sadness. I find it to be cathartic in a beautiful way.

 

 

I won't say that anything invokes that kind of reaction in me, but, there are some extremely beautiful or otherwise evocative music that I really love:

The second movement of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto

Schubert's String Quintet (D. 956)

Korngold, Die Tote Stadt-duet "Gluck, das mir verlieb"

Shostakovich Piano Trio No. 2

Etta James' version of "Lovin Arms"
