Is there a song or piece of music that makes you feel emotional?
I'm deliberately not defining emotional as it's a wide topic..
It doesn't take much to make me blub, but one thing it's almost guaranteed to get me going it's "Adagio for Strings" by Samuel Barber. Also "Sometimes When We Touch" - Dan Hill, because I associate it with my parents splitting up .. I don't know if it was in the charts but I was hearing it a lot at the time).. Music that makes me feel good: The "Sing Choirs of Angels" and "Yea Lord we Greet Thee" descant verses of O Come All Ye Faithful - but only at Christmas and I prefer them with a big old pipe organ joining in ![]() The Ode to Joy from Beethoven's 9th Symphony. Fit but you Know it by the Streets (as I found recently) The Soundtrack of Les Miserables and Cats Holst - The Planets Practically anything by Gershwin or Leornard Bernstein Music I play when I want to think.. Beethoven's Mass in D Minor (Missa Solemnis) Mozart's Requiem Brahm's German Requiem. I'll think of other as soon as I post this, but they sprang immediately to mind. p What music has an effect on you? |

I've got a whole list of songs on this computer that, when I'm a bit drunk and it's about 1am, I stick on. So various Johnny Cash, Air, Radiohead etc.
Then I normally fall asleep at the computer. |

The Australian National Anthem always gets me going, especially when played after beating the Poms in any sporting event, consequently I hear it a lot.

Elgar's Cello Concerto played by Jaqueline Du Pre - shivers up my spine every time, and a big lump in the throat!
Saint Saens Organ Concerto - but mostly because of Babe, i suspect! 'Morning' from the Peer Gynt Suite by Grieg 'Pounding' by Doves 'Love Will tear Us Apart' by Joy Division 'Those Were the Days of Our Lives' by Queen 'Anchorage' by Michelle Shocked 'Under the Bridge' by The Red Hot Chilli Peppers 'Everybody Hurts' and 'Nightswimming' by REM .... I'll be here all day at this rate! Music just pushes my buttons! <handymelon trots off to put the CD player on..> |

Pretty much anything by Bob (Marley).
On the soulful side, Roberta Flack the first time I ever saw your face - what a song! Tink it were used in the film 'play misty for me' with Clint Eastwood, but could be wrong though. |

Stay Another Day by East 17 - which just happened to be on Live & Kicking (or whatever Saturday AM show it was) when I found out my Nana had died...

Seasons in the Sun.
The lines: Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die When all the birds are singing in the sky Now that the spring is in the air With the flowers everywhere I wish that we could both be there My sister-in-law, Michelle, was murdered in the spring of 2001. |

If that song wasn't sad enough as it is. Now I'd feel even more sad listening to it. |

Pretty much everything by Bon Jovi now. Also "Hurt" by Johnny Cash makes me feel strange.

![]() I am not usually moved by any hymn, apart from "Eternal father, strong to save" I suppose that is through coming from a trawling family and having lost too many friends to the sea. Mama Cass's "It's getting better" never fails to lift my spirits |

If you look at good or happy emotions nothing makes me smile more than "Do You Feel Like We Do", from Frampton Comes Alive. It's 14 mins long and is fantastic for picking you up. Same goes for Sweet Child O' Mine and Welcome to the Jungle.

I really love 'In My Life' by The Beatles as it reminds me of a special time in my life.
Also 'Angel' by Sarah McLachan is a really beautiful song westlife did a DIRE cover of it a couple of years ago
