maybe it happened just once...the song was Nick Drake's From the Morning

La Speranza del sentimento è schiavitù
La Speranza del corpo è malattia

Nope.

I definitely didn't cry to a song.

Never in my life.

I'm telling you I didn't.

Why are you staring at me?

Stop it!

Go away!

What do you want from me?

Come on, man...

OK FINE. I CONFESS! I ONCE CRIED TO PUFF DADDY'S "I'LL BE MISSING YOU" BUT I WAS LIKE 10 YEARS OLD! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY AND I'M NO PROUD OF IT. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? *sob*

Then I'm afraid I haven't got a soul.

Music affects me very powerfully. I mean, I get that spine tingling all the time, at least twice a week, but sometimes in those special moments when I'm the perfect mood and I put on something like "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" every note just makes perfect sense and I get absolutely carried away in the entire song, and that point in time nothing else matters. It's an amazing feeling. I don't cry to music because it affects me in different ways. In fact, I rarely cry at all. I haven't cried in months, and I have to be very depressed for that to happen.

not much makes me cry, but i feel so emotional when listening to many songs that have meaning or i can relate to in my personal life. and sometimes things are put in perspective after i give some songs  whirl. most of the big names have at least one song that puts me on that emotional level. the biggest one for me would be Pink Floyd's Us and Them.

not prog but.... some Iron Maiden songs, mainly the really melodic ones

OK, here's my weepie list:

Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush - "Don't Give Up"
Gabriel again - "Here Comes the Flood"
Camel's "Snow Goose"

Anything from "Chess" especially the "Endgame" - it's just so bloody brilliant.

Mendelssohn's Scottish symphony. Musically perfect in every way; it's so beautiful it makes me cry just thinking about it.

And especially "High Hopes" by Pink Floyd, not just because it was their last song but because it was the last piece of music my best friend heard before he died of cancer. No kidding.

Hmmm...

Shadow Gallery's Comfort Me & Christmas Day did that to me...

And So did the whole Perfect Element album

Afraid to shoot Strangers and Waisting Love by Iron Maiden did that also... damn...

I'm a pussy...

me too.

And Peter Hammill's "This Side of the Looking Glass" - herzzerreißend -
"The stars in their constellations,
each one just sadly flickers and falls...
without you they mean nothing at all."
And "A Better Time" in the A Capella Version.

I can honestly say musicis about the only thing that can me me cry. Man, I cried like a baby to Pink Floyd's Money and Dream Theater's I Walk Beside You, those where the perfect songs at that particular moment. I was more crying out of happyness then sadness and I'm not ashamed of it.

Oh and "The Spirit Carries On" by Dream Theater (live October 11th this year) almost got the best of me. I always loved the song and well, I was perfectly happy at that concert, not just because of the concert.


Damn, I've been up since 4:45 AM for work. My ability to concentrate is pretty lousy at the moment, hence the crappy English. Sorry guys :).

I cried a couple of times-

Great Gig in the Sky because I was thinking a lot about death at the time

Heaven's Dead by Audioslave because it always reminds me of the greatest last day of school ever last summer and we played it and we were all happy cuz we ditched half the day, and there was something about the atmosphere, and now some of those friends have moved, and that's sad.

Riders on the Storm- long story short, it reminds me of my grandfather's death

Goodbye Blue Sky- it's just a sad song because of the message
