Tear-Jerking, Moving Western Songs (41–50)
Not EnoughVan Halen
Included on the 1995 album Balance.
A four-piece rock band from California formed in 1972.
This is a number from the era when Sammy Hagar was the vocalist.
The contrast between the slow-tempo rhythm and the interplay of soft piano tones with the hardness of electric guitar highlights the character of the song nicely.
The soulful vocals are great, too.
I Will Always Love YouWhitney Houston
Included on the 1992 album “The Bodyguard” soundtrack.
It served as the theme song for the film “The Bodyguard,” released the same year.
A cover of the single Dolly Parton released in 1974.
Born in 1963.
A singer from the state of New Jersey.
The entire track moves the heart with her beautiful vocals, but the highlight is, of course, the chorus.
It’s so beautiful it leaves me speechless.
A masterpiece among masterpieces.
HelloAdele
It’s a hit tune that used to play on FM radio all the time, with a deeply reverberant vocal that leaves an impression like it keeps resonating deep in your ears.
When you listen to it at times of extreme fatigue, when your emotions feel drained, it seems to soothe you and revive your spirit.
Til I DieThe Beach Boys
Brian Wilson, the central figure of the Beach Boys and one of the great rock legends.
This is a short ballad from the period when he had hit a creative dead end and, struggling with drug addiction, was forced to step away from the scene for a long time.
Its beautiful, sorrowful melody powerfully conveys the pathos of a person who has hit rock bottom.
Tears can be so softChristine&the Queens
An emotionally moving track where wistful strings and a crystalline vocal seep into the heart.
The delicate lyrics convey deep longing and a sense of loss for loved ones.
It carries a resonant message that shedding tears can bring healing and release.
Scheduled for inclusion on the album “PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE,” set for release in June 2023, the piece was created with inspiration from Marvin Gaye’s music.
It’s a song I especially recommend to those who have lost someone dear or who struggle to express their emotions openly.
It may become an opportunity to face yourself through tears.
