Did a Song Ever Touch Your Soul?

[Mel]

Ok, here's my question: Was tehre ever a song that just touched you so much that you wanted to cry? Or jump for joy or made you feel like you've been such a sinner? I had a song like that: It was a song by RAscall Flatts called I'm Movin' On. For some reason, it made me want to cry, and I came this close.

Another is Foggy Mountain Breakdown by Flatts & Scruggs. It just made me so happy, I could jump. inexplicable feelings. Anyone else share these? OR am I just weird?

Haha, probly the latter, knowing me XD

That's the beauty in songs, the ability to convey such emotions to the listener.

Avril Lavigne : I'm with you. (I heard it when I was voluntering at the local cat shelter, I connected the song with some of the lonely cats at the shelter looking for a new home. It was hard to listen to it for a few weeks without tearing up)

Most pop songs don't effect (affect?) me much at all, but there are some songs that move me or make me cry every time I hear them. There is a song that I have to skip every time I listen to the cd it's on, for example, or it will make me very sad and I'll be filled with an overwhelming urge to call my mom. There are a couple of others...they're mostly more folk-type songs.

There are a few songs in musicals that can make me cry when I actually see the musical, although not when I'm just listening to the music. "Without You" from RENT, for instance, and "A Little Fall of Rain" in Les Mis.

Lately I have just been going through these mood swings where I'll be really happy or mad or sad or...you get the picture. Well A while a go I couldnt listen to the song "Concreate Angel" by Martina McBride with out crying. And for a while after I read AWA I couldnt listen to "Behind Theses Hazel Eyes" by Kelly Clarkson without crying because it reminded me of what Kit must be thinking about the whole Nita/Ronan thing or something, I dont even know. (Im a Nita/Kit shipper if you didnt notice)

I'm a big fan of musicals myself, and a singer, so music has a lot of power in my life.

I'd have to say I'm not a fan of a lot of popular music on the radio...I really hate hard rock and rap is definitely not my thing. And I'm not a huge fan of suggestive or crude lyrics. And I love music that tells stories. So...

Most of my best experiences with music have been with sacred music. There've been times when I really needed a lift and a song was just what I needed. Or something in the music just touched a chord, for reasons I can't always explain. Other songs that have?

"Hold On", "Lily's Eyes", and "How Could I Ever Know" - The Secret Garden
"Bring Him Home" and "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" - Les Misèrables
"Love Changes Everything" and "Anything but Lonely" - Aspects of Love (but I've never seen the show)
"When I Look at You" - The Scarlet Pimpernel (maybe "I'll Forget You" too)
"Climb Every Mountain" - The Sound of Music
"You'll Never Walk Alone" and "If I Loved You" - Carousel
"Where is Love?" and "As Long as He Needs Me" - Oliver! (very sad, but says so much about the characters)
"Far from the Home I Love" and "Sunrise, Sunset" - Fiddler on the Roof
"Close Every Door to Me" - Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
"The Impossible Dream" - Man of La Mancha
"The Dance" - Garth Brooks
"How to Handle a Woman" and "I Loved You Once in Silence" - Camelot
"Falling in Love with Love" and "Do I Love You Because You're Wonderful?" - Cinderella
"I Won't Say I'm in Love" - Hercules
"The Bells of Notre Dame", "God Help the Outcasts", and "Out There" - Hunchback of Notre Dame (bad movie, good music)
"Forgiveness" and "Sirens" - Jane Eyre
"Hello, Young Lovers" - The King and I
"I Still Believe", "Bui Doi", and "Now that I've Seen Her" - Miss Saigon
"Journey On", "Your Daddy's Son" and "Make Them Hear You" - Ragtime
"Some Enchanted Evening" - South Pacific
"Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" and "Old Man River" - Showboat
"Only You" - Starlight Express

Anyway, didn't mean to make a comprehensive list, and this still isn't one! There's loads of good music out there.

Just last weekend, I heard the song A Million Ways by Ok Go. I thought, "if there's a god [and he's hot], this is his voice!" :P

Usually lyrics catch me more than the entire song, like in Dark of the Matinee, they say:

I charm you and tell you of the boys I hate
All the girls I hate, all the words I hate
The clothes I hate
How I'll never be anything I hate
You smile, mention something that you like
Oh, how you'd have a happy life
If you did the things you like

Or in Sad Statue (System of a Down): What is in us that turns a deaf ear to the cries of human suffering


Ok Go: Website, Videos, & Music

Feels Good Inc is good.

Youth of the Nation by POD'll make me feel depressed. :/ Sad song.

Flagpole Sitta. If you've heard the song, there's nothing more I need to say.
