MusicGirl Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I've had lots of songs that the sound of it made me emotional. Like "You're the Inspiration" by Chicago, "Love is Forever" by Billy Ocean, & "That's what love is all about" by Michael Bolton & "Angel Baby" by Angelina. The sounds of the songs have always perked up my emotions and made me cry real easily. Has any song made you sad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confusiondwells Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 yeah..... the song "father of mine" by everclear breaks me down everytime i hear it. the reason is because if i look at it from my brothers perspective, everything fits perfectly. so it makes me sad thinking back on everything the writer went through because my brother and i kinda went through almost the exact same thing. anyone else?

Rayzor Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 to help you out confusion: In the Arms of An Angel - Sarah McLaughlin personally I cringe at this tune cuz there was a commercial here in Canada where there were dying African kids while the song played.

Rayzor Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Being a guy, I hate to admit that there is any song that will bring a tear to my eye. I can't make a top 10 as there is only one song that can do that to me: Last Kiss - J. Frank Wilson and The Cavaliers or even the cover by Pearl Jam Now let's not ever speak of this again!

Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 River of Tears by Clapton. I hadn't listened to the song in a long time and today I played it on my show and now I remember why I didn't listen to it for so long. I cried, which being on the radio is not cool, good thing the song is like 7 minutes so I could get back my radio coolness. Great song though.

KlassenT Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Hehe, like Rayzor, I think I'll lose a few dude points here, but oh well. Also, be warned, I'm sure I might have a few earlier-mentioned duplicates, but I'm not changing them just for novelty's sake - Unordered list: - Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven - A great song on its own, but once you learn any of the history it becomes a heart-heavy masterpiece. Enough said. - Led Zeppelin - Going to California - Amid other reasons, it goes on the list primarily for "Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams / Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems..." So true. - John Prine + Bonnie Raitt - Angel from Montgomery (Live) - Not sure why, this particular version has just always struck me as a powerful tune whenever I've listened to it. - Sarah McLachlan - Angel In spite of the above-mentioned commercial, she is still one hell of a songwriter IMO, and this has always been one of my deeplky favorite tracks of hers since I first heard it (and I've admittedly never really been one for contemporary songwriters). - Elton John - Your Song - Cliche? Maybe, but it doesn't make it any less a classic for me. In my experience, it's impossible for someone to hear it and NOT have someone in mind the whole time. - Jackson Browne - Load Out/Stay - Kind of a tricky one, but you understand if you're a musician, and probably wouldn't if you aren't. No discrimination implied. - The Beatles - All My Life - Granted, I know it's one of those sappily sentimental songs, but even so... what a remarkable one. Maybe it's just a guilty pleasure of mine. - Neil Young - Cortez the Killer - I know it's not an inherently touching song, per se, but it's one of the most profound guitar melodies I've heard to the day, and will always hold a place here. - Neil Young - After the Gold Rush - Yep, two from the artist I know, I'm killing my variety here, but it's one of those songs that just goes so well with staring up at a night sky. - James Taylor - Fire & Rain - An artist held highly in any regard, James Taylor really put everything over the top with this track. A consistent favorite of mine. Also, one that I didn't necessarily list in my top list just for sake of room is an up-and-coming fingerstyle artist Andy McKee. Really, this cat is reminiscent of the likes of Michael Hedges and Leo Kottke, and I would highly reccommend the tracks Drifting and Rylynn (Amid all the others of course). Studio videos of both can be found over at the good old YouTube, and I really can't say enough about the guy, he instantly struck me as the best thing to happen to acoustic instrumentation in years.

fpatrick Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Hey KlassenT, Nice choices there. You seem to be quite a fan of fingerstyle and flatpicking acoustic guitar. I always loved that part from the Led Zeppelin song, and I think I still have some Leo Kottke on vinyl from way back. I don't know all of the songs, but Angel and Fire and Rain are superb. I heard James Taylor eventually got sick of playing that one it was so popular. And I don't know anyone who doesn't love that version of "Angel from Montgomery". It's been a while, but I recall that the band gets lost for about 2 bars - and it doesn't matter. "Just give me something that I can hold on to, to believe in this living is just a hard way to go". Who hasn't felt that at some point here on planet utopia? That's my favorite of your picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Dead of Winter ~ Eels a song about the cancer treatment and following death of his mother... standing in the dark outside the house breathing in the cold and sterile air well I was thinking how it must feel to see that little light and watch it as it disappears and fades into and fades into the night so I know you're going pretty soon radiation sore throat got your tongue magic markers tattoo you and show it whare to aim and strangers break their promises you won't feel any you won't feel any pain and the streets are jammed with cars rockin' their horns to race to the wire of the unfinished line thought that I'd forget all about the past but it doesn't let me run too fast and I just wanna stand outside and know that this is right and this is true and I will not fade into fade into the night standing here in the dark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
