I used to get emotional hearing music until I learnt how it works.. Now I hear chords and scales and find it harder to hear the raw emotion.. I wouldn't swap though! The emotion is now in the playing rather than the listening.
Some singers can still make me cry though. It's a lovely felling the occasional time it happens.

Hiya,
'Fireflies'.
It's because the character in the song's really tired & he knows if he goes to sleep he can't see the fireflies in his room, so he doesn't want to & keeps himself awake. I'm a sleep apnoea sufferer. Lots of people don't know what that is & can't put my CPAP machine on right (I can't put it on. So I hadn't slept very well, & when I heard this song I sobbed my eyes out.
I was in Respite Care at the time, missing my parents & pets, & they kept the radio on all day to make it look as if there was something going on when there actually wasn't. It's so bad I can't even see a picture of a firefly or look at the words.
This story takes me back to the time when I'd had an argument with my parents and I was crying on my own, and I remembered 'Everybody Hurts' by R.E.M., and the lyrics 'take comfort from your friends' and then think "But I don't have any friends" and then my boyfriend came in and hugged me and I knew that all the friends I ever needed were rigt in my arms!
Wow that was years ago, I'm now married to the guy! Shows what a song can do to ya!
You know what song makes me cry? Yesterday by The BEatles.I lve the Beatles ad it depresses me that half of them are dead.
They make me cry if I think of an old hot boy friend on a slow heart full song than yes. Mostly about people I love.
Kind of heavyish, but its more of the lyrical meaning behind it...but Tragic Tragic Track Jacket - Heavy Heavy Low Low seems to reduce me to almost crying every time. Some songs make me want to cry for happiness too... Bittersweet Symphony does that too...its, well...bittersweet lol
Enrique Iglesias sang Hero. That made me cry alot. I guess it did because at the time I was very low in my life and I felt no one would rescue me from my hell.
the only song i sobbed at was Jeremiah's Prayer by Marc Broussard and I have no idea why.
A lot of instrumental music just totally breaks me down...especially if I've played it before. I can pretty much cry may way through the entire movie Fantasia 2000.
Sometimes I hear things that are just so beautiful my mind cannot handle them. For some reason the end credits to certain movies just put my emotions over the top (Braveheart, The Fountain and Avatar are good examples).
I'm not a fan of country music but some of their story-lines are real tearjerkers.
there's one song that i rarely ever hear but sends me into tears every time i hear it.even though i listen mostly to current rock,elvis presley has a tune called "old shep" from the 50's,about a dog that he dearly loved(his best friend according to the lyrics) and as the dog got old he had to put it down(via shooting him).a horribally sad song,i guarantee you/.if any of you never heard of it ,please find it and give it a listen at least once/.
Yeah, when the singer has emotion or its something hard you been thru It does.But I once cried over a song because I liked it and pumped me too much(Welcome To The Jungle) when I was like seven.
Now, Something in the way, I've stayed under a bridge and I fucking know what Kurt Cobain(RIP,We ALL miss you dude)means. What he says it's 100% true
Whiskey Lullaby.
Omg when I first heard that song I was also watching the music video and I basked my eyes out!
The house that built me- Miranda lambert. That one gets me everytime.
I'm already there- lonestar
Strawberry wine- Deana Carter
If you're reading this- Tim McGraw
These always make me cry.
The capper is "My Favorite Things" from Sound of Music with Julie Andrews
Piano by Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninov, Bach, anything by Mozart...that stuff can really make you sob with transcendental joy. Especially Liebestraum by Franz Liszt; a piano etude.
Many Beatles songs can do it...stuff on Revolver & Rubber Soul, or White Album or Sgt. Peppers or Abbey Road, or Let it Be...or even early Fab 4 stuff. Slayer does it to me too...
Annie's Song by John Denver. My Mama used to sing that song to me when I was a small child, all curled up in her arms, with her beautiful long black hair curling down her shoulders. Gosh, I'm going to cry just thinking about it!
Hey Golden:
Just read your wonderful and very loving response to songs that make you cry and would like to say really glad you had and still have a wonderful mother and great relationship with her.; {YOUR ANSWER BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES}: My mother and I never got along, and three years ago I lost her in an auto accident, wish I could have gotten to know my mom like you LOVE your mother.
Beautiful song. Really good call on that. I can imagine what you've described.
Yes! That was what I was talking about when I was trying to say when I said it's not necessarily the lyrics alone that speak with my emotions (or at least, I was trying to say that at the time. Obviously came out all wrong and strange.)
That's the mark of genius on Bach's part. His music can stop me in my tracks.
"Last Kiss" is the worst, once recorded by Pearl Jam. My mom used to play that to me on the guitar when I was a small child and I would always cry. Also Red Sovine songs will make even the biggest men cry.
No one but you - Queen
this song is such an honour to Freddy Mercury, and you can make it so that you see it as remembering anyone you have lost... personally i remember my mother for it, as while she died in hospital, i could hear queen in the next room..
i always completely break down now whenever i hear this song.
Now that's some song. Yeah, it pays tribute to anyone and everyone you've lost.
I just heard No One by Quasi and the music and the lyrics...it was like a punch in the stomach. It feels comforting and a little disconcerting to hear something like that; something that suggests that someone else has felt something as twisted and sad as that.
Hello Don'tH8Love:
Just noticed your post from 12-25-09 on songs that make you cry and you stated the very beautiful gospel song which also makes me cry, "AMAZING GRACE." I do not know if it is because you're a Born Again Christian and reminds you everytime about when you met God, or maybe it is because it makes you stop and think that you need to except Christ as your Saviour.
I break everytime I hear it also, just a very beautiful Hymn about the love God gave us.
HOPE YOU ARE SAVED MY FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps it's the hope in the song. You know that feeling you get when you're feeling sad and someone comforts you and you suddenly feel like crying? Yeah, that.
I can name two songs that make me cry. Dust in the Wind by Kansas and Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin.
It's not so much the songs which affect you so deeply as, perhaps, the message they convey.
There are some songs which really kind of hit the nail on the head with regards one's feelings.
I agree and disagree. A lot of the time it's how perfectly the message of the song - however it seems to me anyway - tells the truth of something. However, even if there is no music, it can still affect me deeply.
Isn't that what music is all about? Communication? Maybe it's because (to me at least) it's more free than words alone.
Yes, there are a few songs that make me just break down and bawl. It's normal, though some people are able to hide their emotions much better than the rest of us.
