SONGS THAT WILL MAKE YOU CRY (TOP TEN)

 1.'She has no time'-KEANE: Tim Rice-Oxley wrote this song to Keane's vocalist, Tom Chaplin, when he was fighting against unrequited love. Tom's vocals give you goosebumps as usual , but there is some disenchantment in his voice that will surely make you cry.

2. 'The River'-Bruce Springsteen:The song exudes sadness from the harmonica intro. The instrumental feels simple compared to his other songs. The storytelling lyrics are full of frankness and sincerity. The story of  the young couple having their dreams destroyed suffocated by life in a small town will definitely move you ('No wedding day smiles no walk down the aisle' //'No flowers no wedding dress').

 3.'Ocean Eyes'-Billie Eilish: A great way to show the fear of falling for someone through Billie's voice , full of vulnerability.

 

4,'Run'-JOJI: Dive into  melancholy caused by an untrue relationship. Joji's vocals are sad and feel like he is crying out hopelessly ('And if I took on the planet' //'Will I pay my dues?'). The guitar solo compensates the unhappy vibe of the rest of the song. The video is as claustrophobic as the feeling of disappointment.

5. 'Habibi'-Tamino:This song is also about a broken relationship. You can feel deep vulnerability in the vocals (influenced by his arabic roots), especially at the end of the piece. The song mixes sadness with anger in the bridge.

6. 'Ave María' // 'Silent Night'- Michael Bublé: If you have listened to Michael Bublé's Christmas record , these are probably its saddest songs , but not because of that not beautiful. 'Ave María' in latin is calm and heavenly peaceful .

7. 'Es por ti'- Rosalía cover: Her beautiful voice, full of sighs, with autotune eliminates the hope of the original version, but adds emotion, feeling . Rosalía sings as she has finally found ,tired, what she was searching for . It is the severity and vulnerability what makes this version special and what will make you start criying.

'Bagdad', from El Mal Querer will also make your eyes shed tears.

8.'Cayendo'-Frank Ocean: This is the first song in which Frank Ocean sings in Spanish. It is gloomy, simple to deliver all the pain in the vocals.

9. 'Paradis Perdus' , 'Saint Claude' and 'Nuit 17 á 52'-Christine And The Queens: These songs are all from her 1st album, which contains vulnerability in its depth versus her liberating second project, CHRIS. 'Paradis Perdus' and 'Nuit 17 á 52' are both about a break up or destroyed love story, while 'Saint Claude' is an incredible love letter to a 'young man in the streets of Paris', as she said in her last year's Primavera Sound performance. 

10. 'Adieu Mon Amour' - Hatik: The rapper's feeling in his voice illustrates the sadness behind a break-up, which seemed irremediable.

11. 'Cover Me up'- Jason Isbell: I could not end this list without this song. It was a love song from Jason Isbell to his wife. It is filled with honesty and contains some beautiful lyrics ('But home was a dream, one I'd never seen' //'Til you came along').

 Despite suffering postponements due to COVID-19, the Coventry band seems unstoppable. After getting played for the first time on BBC Radio 1's Introducing Selection , having played for BBC Radio 1 BIG WEEKEND and celebrating the success of ' Pulling away', the band is ready for their new single, 'Numbers Game'.

Blossoms: In their cool era.

Image
  La banda de Stockport lanzó su quinto álbum de estudio, Gary, hace casi dos semanas . Con su estética naranja y vestimenta oscura, Blossoms dibujaba su dirección estética para este disco. A los singles What Can I Say After I’m Sorry y Perfect M e se une I Like Your look .   Si algo resulta difícil para una banda en su quinto disco es sorprender. Su cuarto álbum, Ribbon around The bomb , les situaba en una atmósfera pop setentera, con alguna de las mejores canciones de boda, pero que también mostraba unas letras reflexivas y existenciales. Sin embargo, I like your look es sorprendente porque Blossoms , más acostumbrados a escribir desde el punto de vista del narrador (the writer ), se vuelven el centro de atención tocando un tema de los más pop de los últimos años: Ser cool , estiloso y que los demás te envidien por eso. Debemos decir que le queda realmente bien este derroche de swag , sobre todo cuando desemboca en una canción tan adictiva y pegadiza.
