Ok.. is it weird that I cried because of that Puff the Magic Dragon song?

Question

I've been really depressed lately and I tried to cheer myself up by listening to Puff the Magic Dragon because it's so stupid, but, instead, I started bawling... ;[ Is it weird?? But I was sooo sad already and all of my emotions were bottles up.. but idk what triggered it in that song..

Answer 1

Amazing song that always stirs the same emotions in me!

A story about the innocence of childhood lost.

The lyrics (in full i'm sorry) are printed below

It is sometimes so cathartic to have a good cry and songs like this help. Another one that sets me off is Zoom by Fat Larry's band reminding me of my first love.


Hope all this helps!

(Chorus:)
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee

Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff,
and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. Oh

(Chorus, twice)

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when Puff roared out his name. Oh

(Chorus)

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, Puff could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. Oh

(Chorus, softly)
(Chorus, loudly
