Every Woman in the World, by Air Supply, originally from the album Lost In Love
What's a top ten tear-jerking pop rock songs article without a song from Air Supply, considered one of the most romantic of singing groups? While romantic love has its pitfalls and isn't always like a sappy Air Supply song, the emotions of longing and loving are so strong within human beings. From the very get go of this song, I'm made to become ever slowly so vulnerable-feeling on the inside until I begin to cry at the first refrain.
Ice Castles (Through the Eyes of Love), by Melissa Manchester, originally from the movie soundtrack of Ice Castles
This Academy Award-nominated song brings immediate tears to me, especially if I am watching the opening to the 1978 movie Ice Castles. I have no idea why this movie brings such tears to my eyes (though my first girlfriend used to sing this to me), but it does at both the beginning and the end of the movie, when the theme can be heard again, as Lynn-Holly Johnson and Robby Benson slowly part on the ice while looking into each other's eyes. Gee whiz, I am crying now!!!
If I'd Been The One, by 38 Special, originally from the album Tour De Force
Southern-fried food is very tasty, but isn't good for your heart. But then again, cathartic Southern-fried pop rock songs are very good for the soul like this tune about heartbreak. This is one of the top ten tear-jerking songs which employs a very strong emphasis in music and lyrics to create the flow of tears in me. 38 Special got into the Top 20 pop rock charts with this hit in 1984.
It Was Almost Like A Song, by Ronnie Milsap, originally from the album It Was Almost Like A Song
Ronnie Milsap has a voice which contains a sad lingering aspect to it, just like the late pop country/rock star John Denver, both of which have appealed to country and pop rock fans alike. This 1977 Top 20 pop rock crossover hit is about one memorable year of lovin' that comes suddenly to an end.
Never a Time, by Genesis, originally from the album We Can't Dance
This 1992 hit song by Phil Collins-led Genesis laments about lost opportunities while being haunted by them. It is one of those tear-jerking kind of songs I don't like listening to when I'm in public because I know what's going to happen if I have to keep on listening to this tune; that is, cry in front of strangers.
Nothing's Broken but My Heart, by Celine Dion, originally from the album Celine Dion
Love her or hate her, Celine Dion knows how to get to the emotional roots. Her Titanic theme song is considered one of the tear-jerking pop rock songs by millions of listeners, though it makes me feel more uncomfortable than anything else. I love the way Dion expresses the literal sarcasm in the Top 30 hit of 1992's Nothing's Broken But My Heart because it's obvious that it's nothing but a masking of the utter pain of a love lost.
Piano in the Dark, by Brenda Russell, originally from the album Get Here
I cry just a little
When he plays piano in the dark
Brenda Russell used to do session music for the likes of such icons like Barbra Streisand, Elton John, and Bette Midler. She created her own Top Ten hit on the pop rock charts with Piano In The Dark, which has that feel as if I'm being transported to a lonely bar, and I hear Russell sing some really downer-type and yearning music with incredible range and depth, even though ironically, the song to me is actually about love about to be realized.
Somewhere Out There, by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram, from the movie soundtrack of An American Tail
I've seen An American Tail, about a little mouse named Fievel trying to find his way back to his family, and when he sung Somewhere Out There in the movie, it was cute, not a song that's one of the tear-jerking top ten pop rock songs for me. But then Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram come along to record this 1987 super hit, and the floodgates open for tears about finding love, when at the present moment, it's so so far away.
Superstar, by The Carpenters, originally from the album The Carpenters
Karen Carpenter's crystal clear voice was one of those gifts to the world that have the ability to cut sharply like a laser. This personal top ten Number One song of a tear-jerking pop rock hit from 1971 is about the power of a song because of the images and longings that it can create. Karen recorded this song after Bette Midler initially performed it on The Tonight Show. What I also hear in most songs that Karen Carpenter has recorded is the sad story of her short life, ending so tragically due mostly to anorexia which wreaked havoc on her for years.
The Way We Were, by Barbra Streisand, originally from the movie soundtrack of
