Songs that make you cry

[joshBTW]

Wow, I don't think I've literally cried with any song. Or not that I remember. Probably some songs have made me teary but I don't think I've ever cried over a song. Weird.

If you actually cry listening to something like this, you have a problem, whatever that problem is... although I guess it may simply be some of strain of Western post-Romanticism virus ruining the appreciation of this exquisite piece of Western Classicism:



Probably the same type of strain that ruined the interpretation of the cadenza...

Good point. Could be the fact that my eye is all made out of plastic though.

Pastor soy, mas tan rico de ganados,
Que los valles impido más vacíos,
Los cerros desparezco levantados
Y los caudales seco de los ríos;
No los que, de sus ubres desatados,
O derivados de los ojos míos,
Leche corren y lágrimas; que iguales
En número a mis bienes son mis males.

awwww yeah

The same as with Mozart. And crying with the Cavatina is totally ridiculous unless you are as doddering and feel frustrated as Beethoven in his fifties. It's like crying watching even the sad counterfeited remains of Polyklet or Praxiteles: it's an indignity on account of both sides.

I don't usually cry because of songs, but I sang this one back in my high school chorus, and it always makes me tear up.



And this whole symphony is so tragic. :C Only classical makes me cry.

Chopin had a brilliant imagination and a talent to reach and touch it.

Penny Lane: How old are you?
William Miller: Eighteen.
Penny Lane: Me too! How old are we really?
William Miller: Seventeen.
Penny Lane: Me too!
William Miller: Actually, I'm sixteen.
Penny Lane: Me too. Isn't it funny? The truth just sounds different.
William Miller: I'm fifteen.



William Miller: I have to go home.
Penny Lane: ...you are home.

Mr. Bojangles

 

[ShihTzuTylenol]

DING DING DING DING DING!

WE HAVE A WINNER! Congratulations star-warrior you have chosen the song that sparked this topic many moons ago when before I had this patch of hair on my lower back. It is the passage when he is talking about his dog passing away and how he still grieves after 20 years....I get teary eyed...
I went to the cinema with my boyfriend to watch Robert Downey Jr and Jamie Foxx in the Soloist and when he begins to realize Nathaniel Ayers brilliance he puts on an album in his apartment and when Neil Diamond began singing Mr. Bojangles, I got chills at how perfect that moment was/a marriage of sight and sound that great cinema aspires to.

So yes, star-warrior, Mr. Bojangles is a magical piece of emotional energy and one of my personal favorites in all of musical history.

The Beatles were the greatest rock and roll group but then someone labeled the Rolling Stones the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World. And later the Clash became the only band that mattered and this and that bla bla bla yadda yadda

...but then there came this force of nature. Four young men that gelled like no one had before--they let their music speak for them and you know what? The music says it all...

here's the greatest rock n roll band, Led Zeppelin

measuring a summer day
only find it slips away to grey
the hours they bring me pain

This is one guitar...unbelievable huh?

Dr. Jimmy Page played his 1971 Martin D-28: Dreadnought 6 string with an open C♭ (c-major)6 tuning (C-A-C-G-C-E), in conjunction with a modified chorus pedal, to create that airy ascent and bright chromatic presence.
Being the master audio engineer and producer (his passion was experimenting with their sound/stretching boundaries); he deliberately left in a few of the minor string chirps and tiny imperfections to capture that essence of the guitar's live charm and beauty.
Close your eyes and it's like he's sitting in the room with you.

In my opinion, Bron Yr Aur belongs to a tradition of music that includes Beethoven's Für Elise and Mozart's Rondo in A minor k511. Pieces like these are absolutely timeless in their simplistic nature yet textured brilliance -- like the iridescent luster of a hummingbird's feathers.

It's among my top favorite Zeppelin songs. But I also love the contrast between the immediacy of the song Down By The Seaside following that reflective calm of Bron Yr Aur.

Plants voice just rips your heart out it's so penetrating
