This. This is the answer. I have never heard so much emotion come through in the way vocals are performed. I don't listen to it often because holy hell does it hit hard but when I do I am amazed at the way he makes me feel the pain that he had felt. Nothing else I have ever heard comes close to this. No disrespect to any other artists emotional songs and there are definitely other tracks out there that can draw a tear outta me but nothing just makes me feel devastated like this one.
As someone who lost my older brother, I can honestly say this song does not EVER fail to choke me up. I cannot listen to it unless I’m in a place that I can be vulnerable with that emotion and I love it dearly but I also know the effect it has on me without fail
Damn I never read the lyrics just listened to the song and always took it as they hope that’s it’s cancer, not anything like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or like MS.
Man, Jake Luhrs from ABR does a review of the music video on Youtube where he basically breaks down in tears. Gets me every time. Heavy stuff for sure and then the music video drives it all home when seeing their struggles and injuries.
Same with White Light. I grew up in the same apartment complex as Vigil and his brother Ryan and their dad, spent a lot of time skating with Ryan as well. Vigil has been a hero of mine since watching them at the El Segundo Teen Center as A Dying Dream. He even gave me a TGI poster before heading on tour when I was like 15 and man it meant the world to me. Always in my top 5 fav bands.
I one time had a very rough night during a rough bout with my depression. Left a party, was driving home and listening to Joy by Thornhill - when the final bridge comes into the last chorus, I had to pull over to the side of the road and broke down crying.
Save yourself gets me bad, I had to end an 8 year relationship because it was just better for the both of us. The spoken word on that one is just exactly how I still feel about the situation even though it’s been a few years since then and we are both happier now but still, I’m glad she’s doing ok
Seeing Doomed preformed at the Royal Albert Hall and seeing all of those people singing back the lyrics to them gets me every time. Seeing so many people connect with the fact that at some point or another they feel so helpless that they just say come rain on my parade because they want to feel it. It’s unreal.
Probably my biggest metalcore example is Will We Ever Learn by Wage War, but Snuff by Slipknot has pretty much always been the best example for me as a song in general
i havent had a pet since i was a toddler, but reading what murphy has said about that song makes it hit me in the feels every time, can just feel what he has felt and it makes me really sad
Martyrs by August Burns Red has the same kind of emotional explosivity as Ghosts, you should definitely check that song out. I like it even more than Ghosts.
Pretty much anything from 2009-2012 makes me cry, my best friend and I really bonded over metalcore around that time. He’s no longer with us, and anything that came out around that time reminds me of him and makes me sad.
Heart of the Young by Coldrain and The Arms of Sorrow by Killswitch Engage. The first one makes me feel deeply nostalgic, almost to the point of crying. The second one allows me to sit with my sadness and frustration and then gradually turns it into determination to push forward.
Born to Sleep, and Forgotten Hope by Words of Farewell. Born to Sleep specifically because I discovered that song just before my grandmother passed away. I found a lot of comfort in that song. I shared that sentiment on the official music video of that song and the lead singer reached out to me and offered me his condolences and that he was happy his song helped me. I will never forget that.
Pain Remains 1,2 and 3 that Lorna Shore just released. It’s one hell of a ride just by themselves, but if you can make it through the videos without at least getting choked up, then I’m impressed. That shit is powerful
Know Your Worth by While She Sleeps has had me on the verge of tears, especially when I saw it live. The lyrics are very powerful and motivating, and the song is an awesome mixture of high energy riffage and sombre tones which helps to convey the duality of questioning your reality and being content with yourself.
Not metalcore but the bridge to Victim by A7X gets me choked up. I was listening to that album a lot during a rough time in high school and it still hits me to this day.
Aries from The Oncoming Storm by Unearth. It’s not the lyrics, I don’t know what it is, but I was driving to work one morning(hour commute at 5 am) and it played and for some reason made me think of my baby girl and made me miss her and I was choking back tears. My daughters 12 now, and ever since that first time, it always makes me a little teary if I’m listening alone. No idea why.
As far as metalcore goes, burial plot by dayseeker hits me heavy. As for any music, I miss you by blink 182, give me Novocaine by Green Day, or snuff by slipknot hit pretty hard.
Eiley, by Too Close to Touch
Also even more devastating after Keaton(singer) passed away earlier this year.
Ah damn just wrote the same thing before seeing your comment. That whole album is beautiful, but Eiley is just such an emotional masterpiece.
This. This is the answer. I have never heard so much emotion come through in the way vocals are performed. I don't listen to it often because holy hell does it hit hard but when I do I am amazed at the way he makes me feel the pain that he had felt. Nothing else I have ever heard comes close to this. No disrespect to any other artists emotional songs and there are definitely other tracks out there that can draw a tear outta me but nothing just makes me feel devastated like this one.
Ty very much, i will listen to it tomorrow
This the one
This is the correct answer
I came here to say this song as well. I don’t think I’ve ever been able to listen to it without tears streaming or just flat out bawling!
Holy fuck man, that one hits hard. Great recommendation.
As someone who lost my older brother, I can honestly say this song does not EVER fail to choke me up. I cannot listen to it unless I’m in a place that I can be vulnerable with that emotion and I love it dearly but I also know the effect it has on me without fail
Gone with the wind always hits hard.
that last "if i could silence all the doubt in me" always hit me like a truck man
Was going to comment this. May not exactly break down but always a few tears
The Devil Wears Prada - Cancer
That outro with the acoustic guitar tho.
Damn I never read the lyrics just listened to the song and always took it as they hope that’s it’s cancer, not anything like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or like MS.
Neon grave by dayseeker, my dad has terminal cancer so it hits extremely close to home
I’m so sorry man. Be well.

Aftermath by The Ghost Inside gets me every damn time.
The cleans and then that big ol scream gets me
Man, Jake Luhrs from ABR does a review of the music video on Youtube where he basically breaks down in tears. Gets me every time. Heavy stuff for sure and then the music video drives it all home when seeing their struggles and injuries.

"Erased", by Volumes.
I thought you’d hate me! Mmm love it
Counterparts - Solace. Without fail, for reasons.
I cried when I saw them play Collapse.
This song is so good.
The Attendant by Make Them Suffer
Always wondered if I was the only one who penned this as a sad song.
Damn I forgot to mention this. What a fucking song dude!
Currently, Lorna Shore "Pain Remains I" and WCAR "Promise You".
Upvote for More Than You Know. That ones rough, but great.
Anything from Sleep Token no matter what mood I'm in.
Say That You Will and High Water get to me the most from them
This redditor right here spoke my mind.
Spiritbox - Constance.
I always lose it during the breakdown at the end because it symbolizes cognitive decay until death.
"........I have been waiting my whole life......."
I can’t even watch the video without tearing up.
Yep,
I one time had a very rough night during a rough bout with my depression. Left a party, was driving home and listening to Joy by Thornhill - when the final bridge comes into the last chorus, I had to pull over to the side of the road and broke down crying.
Too Heavy by The Plot In You 😮💨
Yes.
My new favorite Plot track
Silent Planet - Understanding Love as Loss
ULAL is a great one. That one gets me every single time
The Price of Grace…man, what an unbelievable tune. Convictions seriously strikes your soul with their lyricism.
Glow by Being As An Ocean
Save yourself gets me bad, I had to end an 8 year relationship because it was just better for the both of us. The spoken word on that one is just exactly how I still feel about the situation even though it’s been a few years since then and we are both happier now but still, I’m glad she’s doing ok
My Disguise - Currents shit cuts deep
Kill the Ache by Currents hits hard every time

My immortal by evanescence
Normal version or the band version? Or both?
You Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic by A Day To Remember

I FIND CONFORT WHEN THEY SAY "YOU CAN'T SIT AND COUNT THE DAYS, UNTIL IT ENDS"
Silent planet- firstborn
The Grey & Just Pretend by Bad Omens both yank at my heart when I hear them.
Yeah same here
Casting such a thin shadow by Underoath or maybe Doomed by BMTH
Seeing Doomed preformed at the Royal Albert Hall and seeing all of those people singing back the lyrics to them gets me every time. Seeing so many people connect with the fact that at some point or another they feel so helpless that they just say come rain on my parade because they want to feel it. It’s unreal.
https://youtu.be/-LJmPRjwo5s

Burial Plot is a “ruin my mental health for a day” speedrun

AIM YOUR SHARPEST ARROOOW AT THE CENTER OF MY CHEST
Chemical - TDWP Reassemble - ADTR No Place Like You - Thousand Below
Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) - Deftones
This. Be Quiet and Drive just does something to me …every listen conjures up some longing that I didn’t know I had. Perfect.
Martyrs by August Burns Red has the same kind of emotional explosivity as Ghosts, you should definitely check that song out. I like it even more than Ghosts.
My husband and I are going through a rough patch and Twenty-Five hit a little too close to home.
Bleach - Kingdom of Giants, Kick Rocks - The Amity Affliction, The Letdown - Bad Omens

There’s one in particular that always gets me- Arrow by In Hearts Wake:
Misery Signals- Dream Atlantic or He Is Legend- The Greatest Actor Alive
Eiley by Too Close To Touch. Gets me every time. Especially now that Keaton is gone. Fuck.

The 10 year anniversary of Dear G-d by Being as an Ocean had my ugly crying in the car

You didn't specify metal core:
[удалено]
Songs that hit hard can make you cry depends on the lyrics and mood you are in!
🤨
In Metalcore?
The Darkest Nights - As I Lay Dying
Inside the Hollow by Sion. Because as someone who deals with depression this song hits so deep compared to any other song that talk about it.
For me it’s A Wasted Hymn by Architects. It gets me all the time
Trapped by The Devil Wears Prada
Sextape, save that shit or somewhere I belong
Reflections by Counterparts. The whole atmosphere of the song including the sort of 'backwards' guitars is just devastating to me.
Resent and Regret, Realize and Rebuild, and Burying Brightness. All from the new Boundaries album
Born to Sleep, and Forgotten Hope by Words of Farewell. Born to Sleep specifically because I discovered that song just before my grandmother passed away. I found a lot of comfort in that song. I shared that sentiment on the official music video of that song and the lead singer reached out to me and offered me his condolences and that he was happy his song helped me. I will never forget that.
Emmure - Last words to Rose.
The Eternal Female - A Plea for Purging
Pain Remains 1,2 and 3 that Lorna Shore just released. It’s one hell of a ride just by themselves, but if you can make it through the videos without at least getting choked up, then I’m impressed. That shit is powerful

Touché Amoré songs. In particular Flowers and You.
Stargazer by Moodring destroys me
Not metalcore but the bridge to Victim by A7X gets me choked up. I was listening to that album a lot during a rough time in high school and it still hits me to this day.
Aries from The Oncoming Storm by Unearth. It’s not the lyrics, I don’t know what it is, but I was driving to work one morning(hour commute at 5 am) and it played and for some reason made me think of my baby girl and made me miss her and I was choking back tears. My daughters 12 now, and ever since that first time, it always makes me a little teary if I’m listening alone. No idea why.
Disconnecktie: The Faithful Vampire by Norma Jean

A Grave Mistake by INK, The track is based on a movie, The Crow.
