Power of music - Is there a song that can make you cry?

[AmericasTeam]

Is there a song that is so good (or maybe so bad) or brings back memories that you cry when listening to it?

 

[spidey07]

absolutely, tons of them.

some are tears of joy, others sorrow.

I know its a really good song when I get goosebumps.

 

[MetalMat]

Fade to Black by Metallica, especially the solo at the end of the song.

Dosen't make me cry but makes my feel sad.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Now that I'm single, a great many of them do.

 

[ragazzo]

emma shaplin's dolce veneno comes close heh

yep. i dont cry, but goosebump's occur occasionally. "she's alive" by andre 3000 makes me get goosebumps, because it gives me a better understanding on how i was raised.

 

[Linflas]

Some do because they trigger memories of extremely sad life events and others just from the sheer beauty of the music.

Is that on the Speakerboxx/Love Below album? I recently got it but haven't listened thoroughly. I love music and have it on constantly when I'm at home.

Tragos Amargos always gets me, reminds me of my abuelito (grandfather).

 

[Epoman]

Hell yeah some do.

"Hero" by Mariah Carey
"Unpretty" by TLC
"My life is in your hands" by Kirk Franklin

yes it is. i believe its track 15 on andre's disc. it talks about his mom raising him without his father around. i went through the same ordeal, so when i listen to it, it strikes close to home.

 

[Turfzilla]

I know all kinds of songs that can make me cry. Music is a powerful force for everyone.

 

[chuckywang]

Light In Your Eyes by Blessid Union of Souls.....but only once

 

[RagingBITCH]

Grave Digger by Dave Matthews. My grandfather had just passed away and we were leaving the hospital. It came on the radio and as much as I'm sure no one wanted to listen to it b/c of the contents of the song and what had just happened, we were all just in a state of zombification and no one changed the station, so we just sat there listening to it on the drive out of the hospital.

 

[Wahsapa]

Taking Back Sunday - Just Like Heaven acoustic Cure cover

depending whats going on emotionally its either an awsome song or sad as hell.

i hate hero that song sucks the ass

 

[Lola]

Yep, i equate music to a lot of memories, good and sad.
The one song that i truly fell in love with is a song that Jumpr suggested for my fiance and I to do our first dance to at our upcoming wedding. That song is The Luckiest by Ben Folds.

Other songs are Jesu, Joy of mans desiring
and some other church songs that remind me of my late grandparents. I get really emotinal every time i hear all these songs!

 

[Trente]

Yes, quite a few!

 

[MisterJackson]

That No Doubt song "Don't Speak" makes me think of way back when my ex wife and I actually didn't fight, kinda miss that feeling.

The only song that ever gave me goosebumps was an Eminem song, the one where he kills Kim.

 

[kermalou]

wind beneath my wings by bette midler from Beaches

 

[Rkonster]

Nope, there are songs that can cause emotional responses, but not crying...
