Songs That Make My Eyes Sweat

Honestly, the list of songs that make me cry is endless, but here are the songs that have been making me tear up this week. It's a strange and glorious thing how lyrics and melodies can just make you melt.  Go get some tissues and be ready to have all your emotions and memories flood you. It's a wonderful feeling.

1. Hiding Out by Sucre

"Oh, so many times we had the chance to pause and reverse. Nobody wants anything, unless you give it to them like it's worth something."

Words cannot describe how much I love this. Thank you, Spencer. I love you for this. 

2. Airplanes by Local Natives

"I love it all so much. I call, I want you back."

I just discovered Local Natives and I am very happy that I did. This song makes me miss Jarett...a lot.

3. Wonderwall by Ryan Adams

"You're my wonderwall." 

I personally think this version is better than the original. Don't hate me. Sorry not sorry. 
P.S. Apparently, Lindsay Lohan listens to this song when she needs to cry for a scene. What a treasure.

4. Dreams by Fleetwood Mac

"Thunder only happens when it's raining. Players only love you when they're playing. Say women they will come and they will go. When the rain washes you clean, you'll know, you'll know."

I go back to Europe when I hear this. This is my "me in a dream" song.

5. Pop! Goes My Heart! by Hugh Grant 

"I said wasn't gonna lose my head, but then Pop! goes my heart."

Okay so this song doesn't make me cry, but I love 80's style songs. I LOVE THEM! And sometimes they make me cry. It's cool. No big deal.  Also, thank you Megan Fairchild. I really like you for having Music & Lyrics. It doesn't get much better than this.

6. Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice 

"And so it is just like you said it would be, life goes easy on me... most of the time."

Yep. This one gets me every time.

7. If I Didn't Know Better (Civil Wars cover) by Clare Bowen and Sam Palladio 

"You might as well be the devil, oh keeping me out past three. Oh you're the one with that apple, so baby, you can't blame me."

Sam Palladio. That's all. 

8. Would You Go With Me by Josh Turner

"If I gave you my hand would you take it and make me the happiest man in the world?"
 The adorable-ness and cheesy quality is unbearable. Ahh. 

9. Sand in Your Shoes by This Providence

"We fell in love with the windows rolled down."

This song takes me straight back to when I dated Jason Reed. Yep. Thursday confessions.

10. Don't You Worry Child by Swedish House Mafia

"Don't you worry child, heaven's got a plan for you." 

I know, you're probably thinking, why in the world would this song make you cry? Well it just does. Have you ever had a rough day and then a song tells you not to worry? Yeah you would cry too. 

11. Oblivion by Bastille

"When oblivion is calling out your name, you always take it farther than I ever can." 

*Chills* 

Are there songs that make you want to cry or choke up a little bit? Do they bring back memories, make you feel good, or remind you of someone or something? Why don't you share it with me? Comment below. We can blubber like babes together!

Happy listening. 

Stay gold.

Playlist Thursday: The Loveliest

1. Delicate by Damien Rice

"It's not that we're scared. It's just that it's delicate."

2. Volcano by Damien Rice 

"What I am to you is not real. What I am to you, you do not need. What I am to you is not what you mean to me. You give me miles and miles of mountains."


3. The First of August by Daniel Martin Moore & Joan Shelley 

"Mama knows you gotta go son. Sister's gonna miss you when you go down the road you've been drawing line by line. And the poet has been writing you, writing you down."

"See the sun on the other side, on the first of August."

Lovely. Simply Lovely.

4. Cold Winds by Matthew Mayfield 

Do you remember me? Do you remember me? Do you remember what we said we'd lost...and what it cost?

5. Child by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros

"The ocean how she moves in ripples, ripples
In flashing lights I swear she was an old film
Then the colour bleeds and she becomes an angel, an angel
Calls out to me like a siren to a scoundrel

And I say c'mon child...

With just a touch I'm gone and carried
Another time where our palms share the same life
The accent of a kiss, whispers were married
It's either love or just the sun in my eyes."

6. Islands by Young the Giant

"All the years I miss your warmth. Have you missed my warmth?"

 

A repeat, but his voice is so beautiful I just could not NOT share.  I want to marry his voice. Or him. I mean both would be great.

7. I Can't Make You Love Me (Bonnie Raitt Cover) by Justin Vernon
AND
I Can't Make You Love Me (Bonnie Raitt Cover) by Adele 
(Sorry about her sailor mouth at the beginning, skip to 0:56 to avoid swears.)

"I can't make you love me, if you don't. You can't make your heart feel something that it won't."


Also...

Have any of you checked out A Fine Frenzy's new album Pines ? I cannot wait to hear it. I have heard little snippets and it is very reminiscent of Feist's Metals. Ooo I cannot wait.
