lol, if I went a little overboard at all there's probably one reason - that feeling, what your talking about with getting chills, tears in your eyes, and all that off of music - that's what I live for. As a musician, in addition to wanting to make solid tracks its like taking some of the mose profound emotions you've ever felt and pressing it to a dub plate. One of my goals is to get a lot of the tunes I've come up with in my own head that do it to me and share them. When you think about it, music is about as close as you can come to taking one of your most powerful and meaningful emotions or emotional moments and passing a copy to the person next to you.

Somehow I forgot the major one. Perhaps the first one to ever make me cry.


In My Dreams by REO Speedwagon

"Fields of Fire" - Murder City Devils

Since most people here probably don't know them or the song, it's about a man who lives a bad life who tries to change for the better, but always slides back, finally begging God for mercy.

"Killing Time" - Black Label Society

The song of someone who's just given up. "For all that has been | And all that is | And all that's to be | Lord, I'm just killin' time | And time's killin' me"

I think Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata would make me cry; I can feel his anger and sadness.

Oh yeah, and then there's this guy :

Thanks Tech.
I needed that.

Oh god, as ridiculously drunk and soon to be hung over as I am thanx, I'll need that tommorow.

I know you are joking about that one

LOL, I forgot all about him, awesome!

I've always been deeply moved by the music for "Edward Scissorhands",
as well as the song from "The Return of The King", I think it's called "Into the West."
Very beautiful.

There is a Masters of Reality song which features vocals by Ginger Baker - he was the drummer on the "Sunrise on the Sufferbus" album. The song is called something like NoT and is about the fact that Americans can't make tea properly. His voice does sound very Landen Cockney.

Ave Maria - bach, sung by Maria Callas (or, really, any good female vocalist)
Canon in Dm - Pachelbel
Sleepwalk - Santo & Johnny
Fear - Sarah McLachlan
Possession - Mclachlan again
Feelin' Good - Nina Simone
Adagio for strings - Samuel Barber

all that comes to mind at the moment
tho, one that always speeds up my heartrate a bit is the main theme for Star Wars.

Blur - This Is A Low
and the Edward Scissorhands Soundtrack.

I just skipped all the posts just to say this (no offence or anything), and as a result I'm unsure as to whenever anyone's put this song forward. It's Untitled. Not sure who made it, but it always makes me cry due to the fact I first heard it when I read the Tomorrow Series by John Marsden, and whenever I listen to the song I'm reminded of what happens in the books.

Because I can't remember the Artist, here's what I remeber of the chorus:

How could this happen to me?
I made my mistakes

^Yeah, that's it. I have the worst memory. Any help please?

Objects in the Rear Viem Mirror (May Appear Closer than they are)
