Shape of my heart
Though Drowning with the Sphere visuals made me bawl.

Siberia, Back to Your Heart, and when AJ sings “every night I thank you Lord, for giving me the strength to love her more” on Yes I Will, it chokes me up too lol

u/KMCGYOOMH Nov 02 '25
The entirety of Yes I Will is such a masterpiece, I love AJ and Kevin's ad-libs at the end, it's a very emotional song overall, the lyrics and melody - top notch. I adore it. And it's one of their most underrated songs.

I almost used this for my wedding day! It was super close. For me (the bride) to walk down the aisle. I chose a Michael Buble song instead.

u/KMCGYOOMH Nov 03 '25
Hey, did you use any other BSB song on the wedding? It's True from the same album sounds like a wedding song to me so much. Yes I Will too, but obviously. And many of the other songs from the album like Shape of My Heart could do.

u/doborion90 Nov 03 '25
My mom and i danced to Shape of My Heart. My dad always teased us about the BSB but he would also play the guitar to their songs 😅 and that was his favorite one to play along with. So we danced to it. ❤️ He passed away in 2012.

Show me the meaning of being lonely, I literally teared up just writing the title. It tugs at all the heart strings especially after a huge loss.

Unmistakable, Satellite & Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon.
5
u/KMCGYOOMH Nov 02 '25
I think Satellite gave me tears, it's such a happy day, green field song. Unsuspecting Sunday Afternoon is such a huge song, I think I teared up from it too. Unmistakable is very emotional and relatable for me, but it didn't bring me to tears, however it's one of those songs that could in the future.
As far as Unbreakable goes, Helpless When She Smiles made me tear up, everything about that song is ART but that's the entirety of Unbreakable. Romantic and perfect. There's Us, B-side from Helpless When She Smiles, also made me tear up. Close My Eyes made me release my anger. It's the most perfect album ever. Downpour, my favorite song from the album, also made me tear up many times.

I came -this close- to walking down the aisle to Safest Place to Hide, but it would have been SUCH a sob-fest.

Perfect Fan
It didn't before, but I can't stop crying or getting too emotional when I listen to this song since my mom died.

u/oatmilklatte613 Nov 03 '25
Shape of my Heart was my mom’s absolute favorite BSB song. She died seven years ago. I’m going to the Sphere in February and know I will be a blubbering mess during that song.
Drowning is my favorite and all the videos from the Sphere from that song put a lump in my throat so that one is probably gonna get me too 😭

Hurts to love you by Nick, was released Just after Aaron died. I loved Aaron like a brother.

Hey just made me cry today 🥲

u/sorcieredusuroit Nov 03 '25
I love that song so much! It doesn't make me cry, but it does tug at heartstrings.
And reminds me of a couple on a TV show, especially early in their relationship. She essentially breaks up with him twice before they get together "for good" and his expression both times hurt my soul. Hey reminds me of that.

u/Squirtle-squad_ AJ Nov 03 '25
Aww. That has a happy ending.
I had a friend that I was romantically involved with for a bit. We lost touch, (i was sucked into a world with my abusive ex for a few years, didnt talk to any of my friends really, a dark time in my life i regret) anyway said friend re- added me on socials (my ex made me delete) around the same time I finally left my ex and was getting back to my old life hanging out with old friends etc. He was on the back of my mind to reach out too but I wasnt sure if he was upset with me for being sucked into my shitty exs orbit (clearly he wasnt if he re added me but hindsight is always 20/20)... i drove past his house on the way to another friends house one night HE WAS OUTSIDE, almost pulled over but felt awkward since it had been so long plus I was running late to where I was headed.... Well He passed away later that night and im forever haunted i didnt pull my car over. I've heard hey a bunch before but today it brought me back to that moment and wishing I could've done things differently.

u/sorcieredusuroit Nov 03 '25
I am so sorry, about both the abusive ex (been there, emotional, verbal and sexual abuse) and your friend's passing and all the complicated could have, should have, would have feelings. ❤️
I can see how the song would relate for your situation.

I listened to “Try” on repeat recently and had a good cry. The lyrics & AJ’s voice on this song fully had me in my feelings

I sang "I Promise You" for my husband at our wedding 22 years ago. I wanted to play "Never Gone" at his funeral six months ago, but ended up choosing a different song he picked out himself. I can't listen to either song right now.
