Voltaire (musician)/Tear Jerker
This performer has a few rather sad songs.
- "Anastasia" (is about a real girl who was killed at age 17)
- "The Accordion Player" will tug on your heartstrings.
- Those two are nothing compared to "Feathery Wings". One's heart can break upon hearing this line near the end of the song:
- "Crusade".
- The last verse of "The Beast of Pirate's Bay".
- "Underground"
- "Born Bad".
- "This Sea", anyone?
- The end of "Blue Eyed Matador" tends to have this troper on the verge of expressing emotion.
- "Dunce".
- "All the Way Down" *breaks into tears*
- "Almost Human". It kind of makes you want to give the devil a hug.
- "The Chosen"? Also High Octane Nightmare Fuel. Brrrr.
- "No. 1 Fan" can turn some people into a sobbing mess.
- "Churchyard" from his new album. The last part "No one should find out what it's like/ Standing here, not having the means/To buy the medicine to save their lives." in particular really got to This Troper.
- "Goodnight Demon-slayer" is definitely bittersweet enough to be a Tear Jerker.
- "The Ship's Going Down" makes you feel sad the people lives abruptly and can't say goodbye to their loved ones.
- The end of "When the Circus Came to Town" is so bad, it gave him difficulty recording the lines.
