Do songs move you to tears?

I think it's called "internalizing" the song. I do that most of the time, too. I listen well to the lyrics and see how it is relevant to me. And, yes, songs can move you to pure bliss! For me, I listen to music to de-stress.

It is indeed internalizing =) Songs are stories with beautiful melodies. I can never imagine myself living without listening to one.

Yup, I couldn't imagine my life without music, either. I also enjoy instrumental songs, because they convey a message without having to be verbal about it. I'm currently listening to Korean ballads. I don't understand most of them, but I'm feeling the sadness, the joy or the love of the singer singing. Sigh. Music is universal. It speaks to you no matter what language you speak.

I think I have not yet heard the song, so I'll search for it and listen to it. But from the title alone, I think that it is a sad song, which will make the brokenhearted cry. Thanks for sharing and happy lotting!

Yup it is a sad song. But thats what i felt. I am not brokenhearted but me and my boyfriend are so far from each other I wish I can go back to my own country. So that I wont feel this anymore... :'... hey can I ask??how to create your own discussion. I am a newbie. And how to change my profile pic.?

hmmmp...dont worry I found it already..hehehe...sorry if i ask you... but thanks for accepting my request.

Awww. that's actually a good idea, maybe I'll also do that in my wedding, and I have to make sure that I wear waterproof make up. LOL.

Oh, yeah! That song makes me cry a bucket every time! I am what they call a "Daddy's girl" so I really relate to the song. At my friend's wedding, she played that song while she was dancing with her dad, and by golly, there wasn't a dry eye in the crowd. Even the bride, and her dad, couldn't stop crying! A sadder song that makes me cry is Dance with my Father. :(

Yes, waterproof makeup is necessary! LOL... We were even made to release butterflies, so while they were dancing (and crying), there were lots and lots of butterflies fluttering about. Sigh, a beautiful wedding that was!

aww...at least she has a "father" figure to look up to. now i really have to search for that song and listen to it!

I haven't heard of that song, but, I'll try to search for it and listen. I may not be a parent yet, but, I sure feel that my parents missed me when I moved out of the house. I go home to them, often, and I feel that they wish I were still with them. I feel for all parents who feel that their babies have all grown up and living their different lives. Thanks for sharing and happy lotting!

awwww... just done listening to "It wont be like this before" tears really fell from my eyes..i have a daughter and shes turning 3 but he hasnt been with her father that much like on that song...shes always with my father though,shes closer to my father that to her own father.

Yup, sometimes, they are tears of joy. Especially when the songs remind us of wonderful event, or person even, in the past. Sometimes when we're so down, some songs make us feel hopeful about the future. Some songs, I call the "Me" songs tell of love lost, broken dreams and struggles to move on, like I am Who I was Born to Be By Susan Boyle, Try It On My Own by Whitney Houston etc. Thanks for sharing, and happy lotting!

I haven't heard it, but I will surely look for it and listen. I'm getting a lot of good songs from this discussion! Thanks for sharing!

Yes, i know what you mean!! I have an entire heartbreak playlist that I listen to constantly even though my heart is mending. I am depressed today, so maybe I'll listen to "I Tried" by Bone Thugs N Harmony ft. Akon.

I've never tried crying out aloud. Maybe I should.Seriously, there are really songs that make us cry especially when we are sad. Thanks for the response!

that's cool - anything good and humane. me, too. even the kindness of other people can move me to tears :)

I agree, music is a powerful tool that can influence people. And most of the time, we relate to songs because they sing of events that are similar to what we've gone through in the past. Thanks for sharing and happy lotting!

it is chinese song,its name is chinese

oh...it would be difficult for me to find it then...hmmm

I have not heard of the song yet, but I will try to search for it and listen to it. Thanks for sharing and happy lotting!

Yes buddy agreed. Most of the romantic songs have lyrics which seem tailor-made for us.

Yup, and it pierces through the heart. :) Just shows that us humans are made up of the same stuff deep inside. So much, that it is as if one is thinking the thoughts of another. :)

Yes, I also believe that music affects us deeply. And, because these songs speak of love, happiness, hope, sadness - which everyone of us has experienced at least one time in our lives, we can relate to the songs so much. It is as if the song was written especially for us. Agree?

I agree. Songs can evoke different emotions depending on the kind of song and our own experiences. I like the songs you've mentioned as well. Thanks for the insight!

right. most of the time, songs move us because we can relate to the lyrics of the song. so when our hearts are broken, we can be moved to tears when we hear sad love songs about lost love.

Aww, I hope that music heals your soul and keep you company while you're alone. I am alone, too, and currently, I still love being alone, but, sometimes, we just need to get connected with other people, because, we are social beings after all. Working far away from home is hard (I know because I miss the folks at home, too) and sometime). I remember there were times before that I would walk into ukay-ukay stores here in Manila, just to listen to the songs they play (because the owners are from Baguio, too, and play country songs - which are not played often here, but is very common at home). Or, I play the songs that I used to play when I was still studying - songs that I played when I was alone in my room. And it helps a little bit. Thanks for sharing, and have a nice day!

yes, that is right. there are songs that are so sad that they move us to tears. and, yes, when we are sad, we tend to listen to music that is likewise sad. i guess it is a human tendency to listen to sad songs when we are sad, because sometimes happy music can make us sadder. have you had any such experience?

Sounds like a good song. I'll search for it and listen to it. And, I'll search for other songs by both singers. A good frien of mine and I love gospel songs and we're constantly looking for songs that praise God and lift us at the same time. Thanks for sharing!

Yup, it depends on the song...for me, rock songs make me deliriously happy (if that is possible hahah). But generally, music helps me cope with the tension and stress during the day.

Yes, I totally agree! Most of the songs that make my cry are devotional songs - songs that make me cry out my heart to God. Sometimes, there are just things in our heart that we cannot to put words into, such that when praying, we do not know just how to tell these things to God. But, I find songs that describe exactly how I feel and say precisely the things in my heart I want to say. And sometimes, too, when my happiness is so overwhelming, I can only express my gratitude towards God through a praise song (I call it a love song to God). Thank you and God bless you! Have a nice day!

Or a song that reminds you of someone who has either loved you so much, or hurt you just as much.

There are just songs that we cannot get tired of, right? Like when I like a song, I play it over and over again. Sometimes, I could be on a crying spree for a few minutes which could extend to a few hours just because I would listen to a song over and over. I do this sometimes when I'm hurting. And, yes, there are just songs that you feel like were written for you. Thanks for sharing.

It could happen just any time, right? You're listening to music, and suddenly, a song pops up that reminds you of...and then...waterworks! lol. Just be careful not to do it so much in public!
