Did you ever cry because music?

I don't usually cry at the sheer beauty of a song when I'm listening to it for the first time but if there's something going on in my life that's getting me depressed then Prog either heals the wound or opens it: Eg: When I had to choose, between two men who BOTH loved me at the time, who of them would be my boyfriend (I'm not saying this to brag- I'm being honest here) it made me cry to hear Coldplay's 'What if' and Genesis' 'More Fool Me'. When my boyfriend was sad, I wept at Firth of fifth (strange one-I know. It's the flute and piano duet you see.) Paradise/The Spell- Uriah Heep =Same reason. hmmm....I can't really think of any more. OH- when I was having fights with my mum- Nightwish music!

As you can see: music can make me happy and can be a comfort but where tears are concerned- I'm the type of person to be affected by PEOPLE!

I never seem to cry for the right reason, i.e., when things are sad.

But I do cry when some music gets me all chocked up inside:

Once Upon a Time in the West by Ennio Morricone

If I Loved You by Annie Haslam

Regrets and Squirrel by Anthony Phillips

The Final Curtain by Tony Banks

The Hour Candle by Camel

The entire album Dust and Dreams by Camel

(I usually try to listen to this one at night so no

one can see/hear me sniffle and bawl...)

Oh, good choice ! lets cry together ...

Do I cry because of music?

Yes!, often and frequently!

All kinds of music makes me cry, I weep at the opera, Barber's adagio makes me cry, Sade "love will get you through", George Micheal (a lot of his stuff is a killer!) a record was released here in the UK this week called "we Laughed"........and I blub helplessly before the intro is over!

and so to prog.......... yep, if it aint got passion and emotion then I don't listen to it.I am not a fan of pipe clanging prog........ I don't just listen to weepy tracks, but I do like suff that is full of soul and is heart felt and real, wether thats happy or sad. The Wishing Well part 1, (for your journey) Pendragon, makes me cry, I have heard this track hundreds of times and it still does it, its so emotional!

I ususally crie for music when I listen to Genesis, specially with musical box or with Cinema Show.

And when I listen to A change of Seasons from Dream Theater, because is a very special song for me, it was my first true prog song. I jst love it

Another song thats makes me cry is Close to the Edge from Yes, because the part of the church organ is magnificent and a bit frightening, I cannot avoid crying there.
