has a song ever made you cry? not from remembering something, just from the pure beauty of it.?

Question

similarly, had a song ever given you real physical goosebumps up and down you body?

'since i found my baby' by the metros. i remember once i was listening to it in my car, and as usual it was making every hair on my body stand on end, then i looked over to my brother sitting next to me and it was having the exact same effect.. truly magical song, I'm going to have it played at my wedding when i walk down the aisle

Answer 1

all the time...i cry all the time at church cause songs about God and his grace just do me in...there's this lady at church who sings "The Anchor Holds" and she does it so well i cry every time!

Answer 2

Yes, Taps (if you consider it a song).

I was a Marine, and until I joined, I never really paid much attention to the song. I have had the honor of attending many military burials, after the first one, I understood "taps".

Yes, there are words to the melody.
For me hearing "Taps" being played is mounfully beautiful, and deeply saddening at the same time. I feel as though something is reaching into my chest and trying to remove a part of my soul when I hear it.

I still get goosebumps, chills and tears in my eyes whenever I hear it being played.

Answer 3

In my Life, The Beatles, or Nothing Compares 2 U bye Sinead O' Connor. But mostly I get emotional over songs that represent a certain time in my life

Answer 4

Songs that gave me goosebumps;
the video for Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt"
And John Cale's version of "Hallelujah"

Songs that made me cry (but because of what I associate with them);
Evanescence's "My Immortal" (due to marriage break-up)
Daniel Bedingfield's "If You're Not The One" (same reason)
3 Doors Down's "Here Without You" (used to accompany a tribute video to a dead wrestler)

Sorry, but no song has managed to make me cry straight off the bat.
As yet...

Answer 5

Definitely, some examples that immediately spring to mind:
Jeff Buckley - hallejuyah (leonard cohen cover)
Coldplay - Fix You
Dave Matthews Band - Christmas Song

Jupiter by Golstav Holst did as well, the simon rattle recording, if that counts as a song.

I know there's more but I can't think of them, it happens all the time.

Answer 6

Oh God yes. Unfortunately the last time I spoke about it I got a thumbs down for speaking about experience and was made fun of. I have a lot of songs I feel passionate about.

Answer 7

I can't listen to Luther Vandross' Dance with my Father Again, boy the song just made me started crying hysterically. It is so pretty, just listening to it makes you really get emotional, well as least it makes me, so I try to not to listen to it or watch the video when ever it plays on tv.

Answer 8

Magdalene launderies- Joni Mitchell

Answer 9

Yes - last night on X-factor when Leona sang "Sorry seems to be the hardest word". Truely nailed this one but her rendition was so from the heart. A real weepy.

Answer 10

For a long time, no song had ever made me feel like crying or gave me goose bumps. But then I heard "Hurt" by Christina Aguilera. For one thing, her voice is amazing. She has such a wide vocal range, and it seems to vibrate throughout your body when you hear it. For another thing, the words just hit home somehow. I heard it at a time I felt ungrateful towards my parents and the people who care about me. And here she was, talking about how she regretted not being able to talk to someone (mb her father?) until it was too late. It made me sad and I felt lucky that no one really close to me has ever died. It made me appreciate what I had. Her sad voice just made me feel for her, just made me wonder why she was in so much pain. Ok, I sound corny now, dont I? But it's the truth, I dont care if I get thumbs down for it.

Answer 11

Heck yes.. Tim Mcgraws Dont take the girl and The chain of love by clay walker..And i dont really like country that much either..
