Have any songs made you feel strong emotions?

I talk about this song a lot because it quickly became my favorite ever since it released last june but the first few days I listened to it I really ended up crying at the end, or at least being moved to tears. Now I listen to it so often I don't think much about it, but if I were to really focus on the meaning of the lyrics I'm sure I could bring up some tears again.

 
There’s a few…


I usually save this song for special moments when I’m in a very good mood, which unfortunately isn’t often. It’s definitely one of the strongest feel-good songs I’ve ever heard, and I don’t want its novelty to wear off by overplaying it. I first heard it in middle school back when I began my music library collection, and it made me shed happy tears, so you could say that I’ve followed my limit pretty well.


One of three Coldplay songs on this post. This one sounds the happiest, but it’s actually about the singer suffering through unrequited love and trying to win someone over as best as they can. It sort of makes me want to compose a serenade of my own.


I put this one on if I’m in a very down mood. Yes, it depressing at first, but it does get better later on. It’s about someone who is heavily depressed and wants to take their own life, but is reminded by a friend that they are not alone and that there are still positives to think about, even if they cannot be easily thought of.

This one’s somewhat in the middle in terms of mood. The lyrics make it more obvious that the singer wants to help someone in dire mental need, and the second half becomes a bit more perkier. Nonetheless, it makes me tear up every time I hear it.


The best place to play this song is alone in my room, late at night, while I close my eyes and create dreamy images in my mind. It puts me in a “do not disturb” zone that makes me feel comfortable, and I believe the instrumentation enables me to.

This one’s more of an honorable mention if anything. It used to release some emotion from me in the past, though hearing it in pop culture stuff one too many times caused that novelty to wear off.

I’ll have to continue looking for more when I have the time.
 
Alright I know this sounds really stupid but no joke as a kid when I played this game this song from the Adventure Time world made me tear up a little lol.
 

i like to jokingly say that this is my dog’s favorite song because he seems to calm down whenever i’ve played it before but i’ve actually cried a few times listening to this just because i think it’s so beautiful.
 
Well, I found a different song that made me cry today, mainly for personal reasons which I won't go into detail on.

"mint tears" by ribbon rooms, I listened to this before but it didn't make me tear up until now. I know the lyrics are in Japanese, but looking at the English translation, it just feels so sad. :^(
 
I’m just going to leave this here. I don’t think I need to explain why I’m posting it.

 
Whenever I hear lullabies or even little kid-themed songs, I burst into tears. Even I was two, I cried whenever my mom played a lullaby tape. Nowadays, if I hear that lullaby instrumental type of music (even worse with singing), tears roll down my cheeks. I don’t know why…if the song sounds sad, or if it makes me nostalgic for a simpler time.

Sometimes, certain slow, wistful songs make me cry, like “After the Ball” by Maura O’Connell and “Isle of Innisfree” by Orla Fallon/Celtic Woman, even though I love them.

When I’m writing, some music makes me feel more energized and creative, like Baroque pieces or even traditional folk songs from various cultures.

Most music I listen to makes me feel happy, or at least peaceful.
Also…”Rockin Around the Christmas Tree” is the worst Christmas song I have ever heard. I feel more annoyance with that one that any others, honestly. As soon as it comes on the radio, I switch it off! (Unless I’m in a store or something…then I have to endure it.)
 
This song is such a jam but it always puts a pit in my stomach. I feel bad for dogs that have been bred to have traits that are detrimental to their health, especially now that they don't even perform the tasks those traits were initially bred for
 
So many songs, so many different emotions.

One that really energizes me is Wolf Totem by The HU. (Not the one featuring jacoby shaddix, but the original). Almost anything by the HU is super motivating when I need to get things done.

A couple that make me sad are by Queen. Who wants to live forever, and These are the days of our lives.

I might revisit this thread to add more.
