Members AnalogGuy Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 I am pretty emotional guy and about music I am pretty much always so critical that I want songs to be able to bring me some feelings... not generally anything radical but something very "humane" and honest music, but that's pretty rare in these days to find such a songs. Everyone seems to be making music only for masses... music for radio and for parties or make terrible heavy music and screaming vocals or just "heavy rock music". XD So... if you ever had such a weird moment where you actually were really touched by some song or as in worst case, even cried because of the song... just add it here, just the name of song and artist will be fine but youtube video or sound example would be even better. My own terrible/wonderful experience: Artist: Popol VuhSong: Aguirre I (the first part of the song)Year: 1972 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oh8yDDCrWQ&fmt=18 I have to be honest and it's hard... but at the very first time, this song made me into tears!!! Soundtrack. Electronic music from 1972!!!! Instruments are unknown but the choir is from ultra rare "choir-organ" keyboard which was basically similar to mellotron but much bigger but that's all I know and no-one have ever seen it. The choir sound is just so extremely beautiful and very stunning! Another one: Artist: VangelisSong: The other side of AntarcticaYear: 1983 Soundtrack again. I can admit that this song strikes me more than usual mostly because I have seen the original movie so I know the meaning and emotions behind the song. The movie was incredibly difficult to watch... and now after movie, this song brings me almost tears every single time I hear it! It's so powerful and very sad.

Members Paolo Di Nicolantonio Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Goldfrapp - "Utopia" from their first album (Felt Mountain) moved me very much the first time I heard it Alison's voice, the mellotron choirs, the morricone-style harpsichord, the electronic sounds, the melody, the string arrangement... I love everything about this song DogoqA_Vm8o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you 100% that the Mellotron choirs are simply magical.... they really can move a person's feelings. I understand you very well... Popol Vuh, great band, I used to have a record of them and used to listen to it at night, every night, but I can't remember the title of it... during that period I also listened to a lot of Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Eno ambient albums, ELP, Joy Division, and the best of all them imho was an album by Klaus Hoffmann-Hoock "Music For Paradise", I really want to get that on CD Also, I had a cool album by an italian dude called "Baffo Banfi" lots of Mellotron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gaul Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Man in black - Johnny Cash [YOUTUBE]hfI9B8e9tW4[/YOUTUBE] "Man In Black" Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,Why you never see bright colors on my back,And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.Well, there's a reason for the things that I have on. I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,But is there because he's a victim of the times. I wear the black for those who never read,Or listened to the words that Jesus said,About the road to happiness through love and charity,Why, you'd think He's talking straight to you and me. Well, we're doin' mighty fine, I do suppose,In our streak of lightnin' cars and fancy clothes,But just so we're reminded of the ones who are held back,Up front there ought 'a be a Man In Black. I wear it for the sick and lonely old,For the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold,I wear the black in mournin' for the lives that could have been,Each week we lose a hundred fine young men. And, I wear it for the thousands who have died,Believen' that the Lord was on their side,I wear it for another hundred thousand who have died,Believen' that we all were on their side. Well, there's things that never will be right I know,And things need changin' everywhere you go,But 'til we start to make a move to make a few things right,You'll never see me wear a suit of white. Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,And tell the world that everything's OK,But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black. ____________________________________________ Is it OK to admit that it still moves me to tears?

Members soundwave106 Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 The "Hurt" video is a very good example. The cover is good, but the video is what is moving. For me, the first example that comes to mind is the ending of Genesis's "Supper's Ready". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KayZeeDee Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 he he ... eargasm... love it! actually there are plenty of times that music brings tears to my eyes... when its really bad... and when it touches that place in your heart and brings back a special moment in the memory bank... or takes me to a place i've never been but long to be... or makes me empathize with someone else's pain, loss, suffering or misery. johnny cash's hurt is only powerful when combined with the video (to me)... mike + the mechanics "the living years" always makes me think of my relationship with my own dad... and now that he's gone it makes me cry... same for vangelis... dad loved "chariots of fire (theme)" and it was one of my first songs to perform at a recital on piano is a kid ... he was beaming proud! things fell apart for us soon after that year... vangelis has written some touching music also sigur ros... a friend who is in a famous band (recently wrote the theme to twilight and transformers) told me of sigur ros many years ago... he said "this music often makes me cry."... ditto - it's lovely and haunting.

Members Strenge Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Laugh if you must, cue the "it's a cartoon" comments (btw, try to keep a dry eye during the first part of Up....), but this song and the visuals do me in every time, especially now that I have kids (they turn you into sentimental fools).
