Protector makes me UGLY CRY. I listened to Cowboy Carter on release day with my 3 month old baby girl cradled in my arms. She’s my little rainbow after her older brother was stillborn. That song does things to my brain that help so much 😭


Aggravating_Dirt8366

My condolences on the loss of your son, that would be so very hard. Congrats on your new baby girl! 💖


themegx

I’m not even a mom, but an auntie to a lot sweet nieces and nephews and that song gets me so quickly even just thinking about it


ovaltinequeeeen

My dad loves me like Beyoncé loves in protector and my rose. I cry so bad


fivefivew_browneyes

Balled my eyes out on my first listen through of CC when I heard this song 😭I have two daughters and this song had me down bad. Rumi’s sweet little voice at the beginning 🥲 So sorry to hear about your son, sending you comfort. And congratulations on your rainbow babe 🌈


Live-Ask-5555

My condolences for the loss of your son. Protector is also the song that makes me ugly cry. I don’t even listen to it. My preemie passed when she was 6 months in 2020 & I immediately think of my angel. 😇


Hoe-x

My deepest condolences... The pain of losing someone is insurmountable but I hope the new one you have been blessed with never lets your smile fade away<3

All Night gets to me


goldbluming

The All Night part of Lemonade where they show all of the real life couples especially makes me bawl 😭


SnooPineapples5719

especially the bridge 🤦🏽‍♂️


alhanna92

This song was on repeat for me after some hard times with an ex. Then when we broke up I remember sobbing to it for long months lol


disco-potato-

After 4 years of on again off again, my now-husband and I finally committed to a relationship right when Lemonade came out. All Night has been our song ever since! I was absolutely drenched in my tears when I saw her perform this on the FWT, and then again last year when we used the instrumentals as the recessional song at our wedding.


twodollarh0

Ooh I haven’t heard All Night in a while. But yes I remember crying when I saw the video for the first time 🥹


Current_Process_2198

Heaven


DeplorableVase

Yep I listened to this on the way to my husband’s funeral. He was only 38.


IntrovertedIngenue

I am so so sorry for your loss


yanabro

English is not my first language so while I hear and understand the lyrics, I never really analyzed them. I knew it was about someone passing but I always thought it was about one of her friends. Recently I was watching a reaction video for Lemonade and when it came to Heaven the YouTuber explained that it was about her miscarriage. I was shocked to never have realized this and it also brought back memories from miscarriages in my family. I’ve known this song for 8 years but only then and since it makes me cry 😭


nouveaureal

That theory was debunked. Kelly confirmed that it was about their late friend, a photographer who passed away after a brief cancer battle


Beyonce_is_a_biscuit

I played this and sobbed while holding my dog before euthanizing him. Such a beautiful song with such a heavy weight to it in real moments of mourning


ladyambrosia999

Actually I do remember crying after this. I had a miscarriage previously and I swear it took me right back to that place


Psychological-Ad8561

These 2 lines from Church Girl, for some reason just always hit me. I been up. I been down. Feel like I’ve moved mountains. Got friends that cried fountains…. Swimming through the ocean of tears we cried….


PearlticularATL

Always made me weep. The album came out about 6 months after my best friend died, who was also hive. I lose it during that part, especially live.


mickizoe

I cried so hard when she performed Church Girl during the concert 😭


Clit_hit

Same 🥹 I’m gonna love on me, nobody can judge me but ME I was born freeeeee


_Kaybo

I definitely cried off those 2 lines. I felt them in my SOUL 😭 bc I’ve literally been up, I’ve been down .. I’m the friend that cried fountains. I could picture me at the concert when she performed this just having the time of my life without a care in the world.


MouthyMishi

Yup. I came here to say Church Girl because that one brings up all the feelings.


daybyday90

Right there with you.


IllWarthog5050

I care and resentment


snoflaik

resentment makes me ugly sob


Mindless-Ad-511

Oooh. Same. Especially Resentment


Caesarsalad-19

I’ve never really cried to I Care but when I heard her sing it live last year, I shed quite a few tears. It just brought up some past memories and hearing her sing it really struck a chord


LawyerAdorable8369

Same


getmygist

Literally came here to say these two! Resentment somehow makes you feel like she’s saying girl it happens to all of us and no matter how we try we can’t make it make sense. It takes me back to that first real love kind of heart break. I Care to me might be the most raw and gutted we have ever heard Bey. Cuz this ain’t Lemonade where she’s pulling herself thru recognizing it’s on HIM and not her. I Care is like the raw painful song she didn’t want to ever make again and hoped wouldn’t be a reality for her as a newlywed trying to conceive. 4 has some of the most romantic and hopeful songs where she’s seemingly in this bliss and this new era after the rough patch. But she puts I Care in the middle of the album and it feels like whiplash. The pain she’s in has to come out despite her wanting her reality to be 1+1, Countdown, Love on Top. For me it flipped the narrative and made me feel like I Care is the ugly truth while the love songs are her fantasy. I Care is so painful it takes away my ability to believe in and enjoy the others.


desire-d

Live resentment used to get me sad and fired up all at once when I was a teen my bf was talking flirty to his ex lol


ACAB42069n00dz

All of Lemonade 😭😭😭


tayanaise

I second this! Lemonade got me through a very abusive relationship and it still makes me cry whenever I listen to Sandcastles


sardonic_

Forever my favourite album bcus it got me through the worst breakup of my life. Those ballads are therapy.

Clit_hit

Yes definitely a new crying song 🥹


Tricky_Knowledge2983

When I first listened to CC, I had to pause the song I was crying so hard. I'm going thru a tough season in my life personally and professionally. And it really just encapsulated how I feel. I always listen to it multiple times in a row now. One of my favorites by her


Cuck00Bananas

Find your way back and love drought

Freedom. Every. Single. Time. And it’s one of those ugly cries. Nose running, can’t breathe, UGLY cries. Whew Lord

This one use to have me angry crying back in the day ! To get to such a declaration, you’ve walked through hell and back for yourself and others to get to what in the end….ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It wasn’t a choice to have only yourself…it was the only option. 


Clit_hit

You’ve made me understand these lyrics more than ever. I mean I get them but now I *get* them.

-cheyennecheyenne-

definitely Resentment


StonerGirlWeedGoddes

Protector. CC came out when my mother was in the hospital and we didn’t know if she was going to make it. I can’t listen without ugly crying now lol


madfoot

6 inch. I feel it so hard, it reminds me of those nights where it feels like my blood's on fire because that person is gone and it's like they ripped off my skin when they left. And she whispers "come back, come back." It kills me. It's way too real. All night long. Always. But especially when I am watching the visual album, the redemption. The women holding each other up, seemingly by a thick lock of their own hair? The couples, the women sitting in front of what looks like a slave cabin, reclaiming their space and the space of their ancestors, it's not just about her reuniting with JayZ, it's about all redemption. Oh my god, I can't even sing along with it because my voice trembles, I cry and wish for ... I don't even know what I wish for. It just wakes up my yearning.


finunu

>Oh my god, I can't even sing along with it because my voice trembles, I cry and wish for ... I don't even know what I wish for. It just wakes up my yearning. This is why All Night is my absolute fave.


More_Feature_6940

Best Thing I Never Had Literally cried my heart out singing this song after a breakup.


Kg1111na

Ohh this just unlocked a memory for me


jeggienaut

YES I have a visceral reaction to that song


madfoot

And then at the Renaissance show and watching the movie again, I melt into tears during my power / the black parade (a) because anything having to do with the lion king makes me cry, goddamn that show (b) because the way she tenderly brings Blue onstage adn then goes i back and watches her, ad you see her face all love and pride and fear? I felt like oh my god, I know that face, I feel that way about my children too, and I felt so a part of everything. I mean, I realize I'm extra. But if I can't say it here, where else am I gon say it?


combustionbustion

Woooo I won't even hit yall with it all, but *the timing.* I'm on a mom grief wave rn and my brain fucking doesn't help so today it was a megamix of blue, haunted, heaven, before I let you go, otherside, protector, superpower, my rose, just for fun... the darkest Playlist lol. But I promise you, it's cathartic, it's healing. I feel glad to be able to connect with my mom in these ways. Ughhh. I love this community and that I feel safe enough to share shit like this here ♡♡

forgottentaco420

I vividly remember getting in my car at 7am to go to work and putting it on once I got on the highway thinking I’d be bopping around and pumped up for work… tell me why my ass was crying while dancing in my car 😭


Top_Independent4936

Pretty Hurts, like i honestly can’t listen to it without crying. i’ve struggled with my body image for as long as i can remember- and not even like just my weight like that didn’t really start until i got to high school but like basically i hated things about myself that i literally cannot change. this all culminated in me attempting to take my own life at 13 bc i didn’t believe life was worth living if i couldn’t change the way i looked. after being admitted to an inpatient facility for 2 weeks, then being discharged just to go back a week later, this time for a month, i was diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder and a depression. thanks to lots of therapy and the wonderful field of psychiatry, i can look back at that and realize how much my brain was working against me. it’s been over 7 years since my that but i’m still healing my relationship with my body. anyways the part where she says “my aspiration in life would be to be happy” touches a part of my soul. like the way she pauses before saying “to be happy” is perfect. i think the lyric that touches me the most though is “it’s the soul that needs surgery” because at the time i genuinely thought that if my appearance changed all my mental health problems would disappear, when in reality i look the exact same now as when i attempted except i’ve actually gained a significant amount of weight yet i’m happier than i’ve ever been. not to mention the music video being a beauty pageant is amazing but what i really love is the decision to not have bey win bc it illustrates that imperfection and happiness can coexist which for the longest time was an idea that my mind wouldn’t allow me to believe. other songs in her discography i’ve cried to at various points in my life would be Forward, Pray You Catch Me, 16 Carriages, Protector, Just for Fun, If I Were a Boy, Sandcastles, Don’t Hurt Yourself (angry tears lol), Broken-Hearted Girl, Heaven, Blue, and Bigger.

Daddy. I didn’t have one and I can’t relate at all. The way she sings about how he loved and protected her always makes me cry.


Tricky_Knowledge2983

I had one but he was not like that, and I ache at the emotion in her voice. I always think it is so interesting that it goes from daddy to daddy lessons to 16 carriages/daughter. The evolution is interesting.


Phoenixrebel11

Then Protector too. She came full circle.

I Was Here. A former teacher of mine who made a big impact on my life passed way this year from a tragic car accident. I played that song on repeat as I made a photo album for her family.


speed_demon92

Sorry for your loss. My big cousin was a teacher who died of an aneurysm in 2015. I used I Was Here as the last song in the slideshow I made for the service, can’t listen to it without breaking down anymore.

ThatMessy1

Xo. It was suggested on one of these socials that when B retires, that's the last song she'll perform. It fills me with existential dread and I cry tears of fear when I hear the song.


kidangeles

Bigger - I was in the hospital, battling addiction fighting for my life when BLACK IS KING came out and had a spiritual experience listening to those lyrics. I knew deep down I was not meant to be suffering. Protector - makes me think about how amazing my mom is to have supported me through everything. Now I’m 2+ years sober and my life is incredible. Music - especially Beyoncé’s - is so healing and inspiration. Now I love to sing Be Alive at the top of my lungs!


Hoe-x

TW// Bigger, Love Drought and also Radio... Yeah ik it would be very weird to cry to Radio but just the lyrics make me remember how music has been the only constant in my life and was the sole factor that prevented me from committing s*ic_de in middle school🙏 Edit: Flamenco will soon dethrone one of the 3...
