apart from MIKA.

 

This song, "Infection" by Japanese artist Chihiro Onitsuka makes me want to cry. However, I've just watched a video of a fan playing it at the piano with no vocals, and it really makes you realise how much we underestimate the power of just one instrument.

i have strong reactions on music...

 

what always makes me cry is "what a wonderful world" sung by Louis Armstrong.

There's a handful of Queen songs that always get me tearful (Mother Love, These Are the Days of Our Lives) because of the emotions that are attached to those songs for specific reasons and not because songs themselves are actually "sad" in topic.

 

Yesterday by the Beatles always makes me cry. I listened to that song the day after my two year-old cousin died back in 1994. That song takes me back to that horrible time every time I hear it.

I know you said songs apart from Mika..butttt..I have none...so I'm gonna have to say "Over my shoulder" and "I'm falling", (even though the latter isnt exactly a sad song...but its very touching and I can so easily relate to it..)

This song is ridiculously beautiful.

That piano is lovely. Wish I could play.

 

the majority of "pop punk" that's way overplayed.

miley cyrus and the jonas brothers, seriously i don't get that whole craze.

 

Not sure that's what she meant by makes you cry. :naughty:

:tears: I started listening to the Beatles when I was 7 so I have strong memories of many of them too.

I love Andrea Bocelli. I've become a bit of a fan actually lol.

 

I used to be able to play "Yesterday" on the keyboard. However, I was a bit retarded. I could only play with my right hand and all my fingers twisted up. :roftl: still, it sounded decent, but i cant for the life of me play it now.

 

I know I said no Mika songs, but I've just listen to "Your Sympathy" really properly and typed the lyrics, and posted it on a bulletin. I bolded the line:

 

No-one and nothing can make your lies the truth

But no-one can stand inside your shoes, but you

 

and it got me really chocked. Made me realise that if Mika wrote these songs because of a breakup, he really took it hard.

The music that I listen to in order to cheer myself up would make any normal person have a frickin' breakdown, I'm sure :naughty: so it's rare for music to make me want to cry.

 

However, during my teenage years, I had times when I'd get horrifically, cripplingly lonely, and during those times, if I listened to Eva Cassidy, Norah Jones, or Dido, I'd end up in floods of tears. Oh, and listening to the Prelude to Wagner's Tristan and Isolde while feeling sad and lonely almost made me cry one time several years back, as the whole story of Tristan and Isolde is about doomed love, but I couldn't because I was in public LOL.

 

So, if I end up crying over music, it's pretty much always because of something or other (like an emotion or event or something) that I associate with it, rather than it just being sad.

I can't listen that song when I'm in a situation where I'm supposed to keep my composure. I used to listen to that song at ridiculous volumes during one of the darkest times of my life, and when I listen to it, it takes me right back to the deep lonliness of that time.

 

For me, this song called "Love Me" makes me bawl like a baby. The lyrics are so powerful (they're under "more" in the vid):

TATDOOL gets me everytime :tears:

I am not particularly sensitive, I don't cry on any particular songs but there are a lot that tough me, like

 

Rufus Wainwright's version of Hallelujah or

Phil Collins: Against All Odds ...etc..

 

However, I can make myself cry if I do the following:

Listen to 'Q'+ PR: Teo Torriate live in Japan:

 

..it is sad already... but then if you listen to Freddie's version 25years before, you understand from the difference what the world is missing...

Same as me, but at the same time, that was the song that gave me hope, so even though it takes me back, it's not all bad and darkness.
