I am not a particularly emotional guy. In fact my wife sometimes calls me heartless. Neither am I particularly religious despite my upbringing. However, when I hear a really good rendition of "Ave Maria" I wind up with leaky eyes. I don't know why but that song and melody really gets to me. What (if any) music affects you that way? Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | ||

"La Marseillaise," but only the version from "Casablanca." Chokes me up, every time. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

Amazing Grace does it to me. Every time. I was fortunate to have been in a band where we ever asked to back up two pipers playing this. I’ll See You in my Dreams is another. I particularly like the version played by Joe Brown. And the other that gets me for very personal reasons is The Scientist - the live version from São Paulo - it was the last piece of music that Tracy and I listened to before she passed away. She liked that version and it brings her back to me for a moment. | |||

Amazing Grace has always kicked my tail. I can’t even type the previous sentence without a bit of blurred vision. Having grown up in Boy Scouts and school bands, the Star Spangled Banner is one that I’ve heard or played [i]a lot[i]. Should be no sweat, right? It was, until after Sept 11, 2001… since then, I get a little stirred up hearing it. There probably are plenty more, but those two come to mind first. - - - - - - Somewhere Over the Rainbow, What a Wonderful World, Unforgettable (Nat King Cole), … (Geeze, y’all, I’m going to go crank up some ZZ Top now!  )Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around. — — — — — — — — — — — — God bless America. | |||

How sweet the sound! Amazing Grace...EVERY.DAMN.TIME! I'm not sure if this is the reason, but I've heard it at too many funerals (often with pipes), and I just can't help it. ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !!

John Michael Montgomery's The Little Girl. The songwrite, Harley Allen, based the song on a supposedly true story, but could very well be an anecdote.

This song has long pulled at my heartstrings, at the very least a melancholy listen. And then there are songs that remind one of emotional times in life. This one from college, still chokes me up. And it's a song I wish I wrote. And this song I listened to when my father died. I still tear up when I hear it today.
