is it possible that a song can trigger emotions.....explined inside.

[nateholtrop]

I am listening to Sarah McLachlan - angel.....and I listened to this song on the radio right after the funeral and cried for a good 20 mins on the roadside so is this song physicologically sposed to make me cry now or what??

I bawl almost everytime I hear Pushit by Tool - the live version. Just makes me think of the first time I've heard that song, and other things that I associate with the song.

 

[Viper GTS]

The Dance can really get to me if it catches me at the right time.

Good song, but damn it I don't like crying!

i actually get shivers when i hear Me by Staind, what an excellent song.

 

[mrCide]

I had a particular emotional time when I first heard 'shimmer' by fuel. (Also was the first time I got out of my thug stage). And it kind of stuck, I still think it's a great song and it gets me all emotional..

 

[BoberFett]

Anything that you've attached an emotional time in your life can trigger a reaction. An object, a smell, a sound. If your mind associates with something powerful, it'll dredge up all the attached feelings.

There are some songs that can bring tears to my eyes, yet I don't understand why. Music can reach way down inside and affect you in unusual ways.

The way people react so intensely to music is one reason I have a hard time believing people are evolved from apes. No music in the animal world; why would it affect people so much?

The Cranberries - Everybody else is doing it...

The entire album. When I was dating my ex-wife she used to put that CD in when she would slip out of my bed and drive home. I still think it is an excellent album, but if I hear any song from that album, I instantly remember how happy we were back then and I lose it.

 

[Tauren]

kranky - you never hear birds singing??? Yes it is a form of communication, but its also music to them. That's what we're talking about here, the music communicating with our emotional self.

Anyone remember a little movie by the name of A Clockwork Orange..

<<Anyone remember a little movie by the name of A Clockwork Orange..>>

I'll never be able to hear &quot;Singing in the rain&quot; without cringing.

 

[Elita1]

...Still can't hear &quot;With or without you&quot; by U2 without curling up into a fetal position...

It is not only possible but it happens with amost everybody. There are some songs I love but I don't listen to much because of the memories. Not bad ones just a time in my life I can't get back.

 

[Elledan]

Some songs seem to touch someting inside me.

Especially:

Nightwish - Sleeping Sun
Sentenced - No more beating as one
Sentenced - Bleed in my arms
Cradle of Filth - Venus in Fear (makes me want to laugh... weird...)
Dissection - Where dead angels lie

There are many more songs that fascinate me somehow.

 

[geno]

There's a few songs that hit me in that way - but they don't make me cry for any reason.

2Pac - Dear Mama...only because it's kind of personal
2Pac - Life goes on, it's just a really sad song

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Somehow I made a compilation CD which pisses me off. I enjoy the music but after a couple hours I want to beat the crap out of anyone. Kinda odd really

 

[bobtist]

Amazing Grace -- Grandpa's funeral, my aunt and mom sang it together. I have to leave the congregation whenever it is sung at church because I will become a disheveled mess on the floor.

Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald ; Sad song, makes me cry if I'm in that kinda' mood.
