Emotional songs

[RagnerTheHiker]

What songs make you feel very emotional when you listen to them.

[LeonPandora]

These songs make me feel very emotional:
1. These Are the Days of Our Lives by Queen
2. Mama, I'm Coming Home by Ozzy Osbourne

[Poppy66]

All music is emotional by nature.  Our music & personal choices thereof are ongoing refections of our feelings.

Back of my mind by rockout Danny and without you by kid laroi

@Poppy66 That is so true!!!

[AlyssaPandora]

Well said, @Poppy66.  I love how you framed it as a reflection of ourselves and our experiences.

Songs that immediately come to mind for me:

River by Leon Bridges

It feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.

Always On Time By Elevation Worship (feat. Bella Cordero)

It’s a reminder of hope in difficult seasons.

@RagnerTheHiker, once you hear some of these songs, they will have the same effect (possibly) on you as they have and continue to do on me. Enjoy the music.

Mercy by Jewel.

Foolish Games (LP Version) by Jewel.

Don't by Jewel.

The Rose by Bette Midler.

Goodbye Mr. Blue by Father John Misty.

Seven Spanish Angels (feat. Willie Nelson) by Ray Charles.

The Living Years by Mike + The Mechanics. 

He Stopped Loving Her Today, sung by George Jones. 

Piano Man by Billy Joel.

Take care, and GOD bless. 

[MOHLovesAlaska]

I'm not sure how these two songs were not included in my list of songs, but here are two that will hit you hard.

Adagio for Strings, Op. 11 No. 2 (From "Platoon") with The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. (grief so deep it doesn’t need words.)

Love Used To Be by Jewel. (captures that moment with painful honesty.) 

Take care, and GOD bless.

If I lay about on a lazy Sunday afternoon and listen to the entirety of Beethoven’s Ninth by the time I hear “Ode To Joy” I am weeping.

I must add Billie Holiday’s “Strange Fruit”. It brings about both wounding sadness and revulsion.

[Poppy66]

All music, (well any good music) will directly connect to our emotions.

What makes a good or even great vocalist is the artists ability to feel and
connect her/his emotions with the song and project it to the audience.

Sure, not every tune will run everyone thru a gambit of emotions.
However, if a listener, ANY listener take the time to do so, they will
discover as I have that every song that I have in my catalog (not every
song on every album, basically the tune(s) that carried the weight to
purchase said album) is a personal emotional connected cut.

i recommend ppl try that. Write a list of songs that were purchased
purposefully, then search your memory, perhaps play each song on your list
and drift away into the track... I believe you will find some pleasant
surprises.

Everyone have a wonderful day!

[RagnerTheHiker]

I agree with you @Poppy66 

[Zoes_questions]

For me it is enemy by Imagine Dragons because the song fits so perfectly with a show called “Arcane league of legends” and in the last episode when my favorite character died😭I was very sad and disappointed.(I am not going to say who died because I don’t want to spoil the show it was such a good one.) I also get emotional when I listen to it because it related to my life so easily.

[Poppy66]

Honestly folks, I would have to press the author of this post to be more specific on the emotional connection, sort of narrow down the field a bit.  

Just to make an inference, were I to randomly pull a cut from my collection that without doubt could bring a tear to my eye, I could list several (most likely, several hundred depending upon the situation). 

A solid go to could be as old as The Lion Sleeps Tonight...  Or as recent as Yellow Ledbetter..  These cuts, while vastly different in genre, date of release and subject matter have the ability, should one allow themselves to become involved with both lyrics and melody can and will take the listener off into a realm where holding a tight reign on their well of emotions becomes a slippery task, at best.

Be well & be blessed everyone!

@Poppy66 I was thinking more along the lines of songs that make you sad.
