Is it weird...

but I sometimes cry when I hear some music... Not because I'm sad or crazy, but because the music moves me...
I used to think I wasn't sane, but I have seen this movie about a pianist who was born on a ship, and who cries when he hears good music...
Here's a list of the tunes
Bach prelude in C (for piano)
Bridge under troubled water
Hands (bumblefoot)
...

I know that feeling. It's been a long time since I've actually CRIED, but I still get that choked up feeling with a lot of stuff.
The last song I actually cried to was a tune by Edwin McCain, called "Prayer to St. Peter" off the Messenger CD. The lyrics are based on a poem he found in a WWII museum, probably written by a soldier in the field. Goes like this:
Let them in, Peter,
for they are very tired
give them couches where the angels sleep
and light those fires
let them wake whole again
to brand new dawns
fired by the sun,
not wartime's bloody guns
and may their peace be deep
remember where the broken bodies lie
God knows how young they were
to have to die
Give them things they like
let them make some noise
give dance hall bands, not golden harps
to these our boys
and let them love, Peter
for they've had no time
they should have bird songs and trees
and hills to climb
the taste of summer and a ripened pear
and girls sweet as meadow winds
with flowing hair
and tell them how they are missed
but say not to fear
it's gonna be all right with us down here

Check it out, dude, you'll love it.

SRV's Little Wing does it to me every time.

Oh Little wing does it for me too...lol. And that poem made the little hairs on my arms stand up. You are definately not insane. I think everyone gets a little choked up from music every once in a while. I just don't let my husband see it...lol. :)

Everybody gotta cry sometime

Yes a song that has a moving melody really moves you, what it does is kinda brings back a moment in your life not as a memory but it brings back the feeling you had at that time. If you hear a sad slow melody your gonna feel sad because its bringing back a feeling when you may have lost someone in your life and a fearce angry melody is gonna hype you up and you may have gotten that feelin when you have hated someone

Personally i love moving music :(

That's what is weird, because I'm not sad or angry, it's just that the music moves me!!!

Yeah thats what i mean you dont get actually get sad or angry it just brings back that feeling...dam its really hard to explain sorry lalimacefolle :(

not me pals!!!!

sometimes, I wish I was the one who had written that music...

i cried one time when i heard a song...what was it...im not sure if i remember i'llg et back to ya.

Antbody out there remeber Thunder ClapNewman " Something in the Air" I Love that song apart from the piano in the Middle ?????

Pretty Angry by Blues Traveler always hits me like that, John Popper wrote it about the death of their bassist (Bobby Sheenan) and it seems to hit the right feelings for anyone who has ever lost someone close to them

Its well worth a listen

some sick 80's Alice in Chains and Telsa, Toto make me barf and cry.

Every time i hear since i've been loving you, i almost cry.
its a song with such a great feel, that you can realy feel it like you are the hero of the song.

For me it's the forgotten part 2 by Joe Satriani. Brings up some difficult times but I just love when he breaks into his main solo. One of the greatest guitar player in my opinion.
