We all have certain songs and tunes which when we hear them, arouse emotion in us. We might not be able to say precisely what this emotion is or why this particular song, but which are they for you?
"Bright Eyes" by Simon and Garfunkel is one that does it for me. I don't know why but everytime I hear this song I feel sad. Other songs make me feel cheerful, and others again arouse emotions I am not quite sure what they are.
So what about you?

I believe all music is inspiring. I get so emotional when I hear dont change by music soul child my now deceased ex sang that song and dedicated it to me in a talent show. I also get emotional when I hear I'll stand by you by the pretenders.

Luther Vandross Dance with my father always gets me. My father was never in the picture but my grandfather was my replacement. WhenI hear that song all I can remember is my Aunt's wedding when he and I danced to that song. It brings a smile to my face though, thank you for bringing on that smile tonight. God Bless.

This is going to seem really silly. I have a friend who absolutely loves Reba McEntire. He played the song, "I Know You'll Fly" for me one day. It made me cry. I'm not really sure why. And then my fiance was flipping channels one day and when he was about to pass by CMT he stopped - and it was the same song. And I burst into tears... like some crazy person, sobbing uncontrollably. I don't even know why.

Well, I am so emotional about all the music I hear.
And sometimes I can pinpoint an obvious reason but sometimes one song will just strike me for no reason whatsoever. I hear the words, I can relate in some way but yet just not sure how.
One song I have been so drawn to is by Hawthorne Heights, "Ohio is for Lovers". So powerful really to me and I am not sure the exact reasons behind it but it totally takes me to the zone.

Stairway to heaven I cannot remember who sang it. I think it was Moody Blues. My husband and I use to make out to that song. We are still married. In September it will be 30 years.
