Songs you love but almost can't listen to because they make you too emotionalMusic

[Slash]

I've never actually cried about a song, but here's another that me emotion to me.

Creep by Radiohead. Its about not feeling worthy of being with a girl. I can relate as the girl I like right now seems WAY out of my league.

Good song. I've been there before.

The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota - Weird Al Yankovic.

'Nuff said.

I think it would be "For What It's Worth" - Buffalo Springfield as well as "You're The Storm" by The Cardigans, the former due to... no idea why...

And the latter due to me for some reason associating it with my grandfather who died from pulmonary fibrosis .

 

[Danoff]

This one used to get me.



Also I've teared up at this:



But not because it makes me sad - I tear up when listen to really moving music.

This song is used at the end of Mortal Kombat the movie, where Liu meets his brother in the temple. Ever since i was little that part always got me a bit, and the song by itself makes me feel good.

I have a real life copy of the original soundtrack btw, took me forever to find it. If i ever see another i will buy it immediately. lol

[Driving Park]

The one that gets me absolutely the most is a classical piece, Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. If you haven't heard it, listen to it. I think it was voted the saddest piece of all time by some authority. Puts me in tears every time I listen to it.

Other than that, Old and Wise by the Alan Parsons Project, as well as Mr. Bojangles.

 

[Nessy]

I don't exactly cry when i hear these songs but they do stir emotions.

 

[astrosdude91]

When Blink 182 hit the scene, they were kinda a gimmicky band. Just another post punk band among the masses of post punk bands. But when they got serious, they made some really emotional songs that were fantastic!

 

[Diogo]

Memories ..

 

[Nish]

None really bring me to tears but definitely bring a little emotion.

 

[lemansfanatic]

[Wiegert]

This one really struck a chord when I first heard it.



The film this track was from was on the other night, but I wasn't paying any attention to it. I kind of wish I had now though.

Flo Rida - Wild Ones

Bear with me, it's a stupid pop/club song and really not very emotionally deep (and it's Flo Rida...). It's really more to do with the events in my life that I immediately associate this song with. The first 30 seconds with the female guest singer are the worst. I associate this song with my ex-girlfriend, she loved it and would turn it up, dance, and sing along every time it came on the radio when we were driving. I remember once I dropped her off at home the day after we had a fight (it had been building up for a while and I was starting to think about breaking up with her). This fight we had was basically the last straw for me, and I decided the next day I was going to break up with her (I couldn't bring myself to break up with her at 4:30 when she worked at 5). After I dropped her off and I was driving home, I remember this song playing on the radio again, and I immediately just felt a strange rush of emotions. She was my first girlfriend, first kiss, first everything, and at one point I really did love her strongly. To think about severing that connection was tough to do, but I knew it was the right thing for me. I didn't hear this song much later on, and then a week ago I heard it again, and I felt the same emotions again, but with a different twist. I looked back in recollection, and I was happy for what happened between us, but I'm also glad that it's over. I know I made the right decision, but the song reminds me of the pain I caused her.

Depressing as anything.

Earlier this year in March, 6 soldiers from the 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, my local Regiment and one I'm very close with, were killed in an IED explosion, 2 of which I knew. One of them went by the nickname of Wilf, and he was such a nice bloke. You wouldn't expect he'd be a soldier. That hit home hard, and it took me a while to get over the fact they'd been killed. My brother-in-law was serving with them, he's since come home now after finishing the 6 month tour. 5 of the 6 soldiers killed were his best friends. Sometimes I still find it hard to believe that they're gone.

At the weekend, 3 more soldiers were killed, 2 of which from the 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment, and one of which was my friend's boyfriend. He had only turned 18 in June, and then was deployed in July. He and the 2 other soldiers were shot in cold blood by an Afghan police officer whom they were supposed to be training. He pretended to be injured so they'd come over to him.

Rest in peace, lads. Lest we forget.

Siempre (Adiós Dulcinea, parte 2), by Mägo de Oz, the vocal version played by a children's choir... (english name would be Forever: Goodbye Dulcinea, Part II)

It touches the most sensitive fibers of myself... I always cry with it...
