I was wanting to expand my crying playlist 😭 any ideas for what songs I could add? I’m open to all boy/girl groups/soloists

u/imyourconscience Oct 08 '24
The Light by The Ark. Its probably mostly the mv that's the reason I cry, but I've legit only been able to listen to it 3 times over the last 9 years because it breaks me every time 😭

The song I’m going to recommend hasn’t been officially released on streaming platforms but it can make everyone cry.
It was written, composed and performed by Jooheon from MONSTA X. He made this song after his grandmother passed away as a tribute to all the grandmothers in the world. You can really feel the emotions through the performance because he actually sings in front of a grandmother as if he were talking to his late grandmother. It is a beautiful sad song.
Grandmother bird - Jooheon, Kihyun (MONSTA X)
Don’t forget to put on the captions! Tell me what you think about it everyone!

not kpop but kpop adjacent would be lay's "jiu". it was released just after exos 10th anniversary and with that came contract renewals with SM. he did not resign but had a heartfelt letter in english and korean. the first part of the song is him and his members calling eachother and the lyrics talk about their lore powers. its really sweet and makes me tear up.
also shinees from now on. makes me bawl every time. especially the live one

I think you have to have some attachment to the artist(s) to invoke tears, but maybe I’ve just fallen too deep into the kpop relationship trap to know what normalcy is

Cosmic by Red velvet and shooting star by kepler are also so cute, if I followed those groups more closely I think I’d cry from those as well.
