Follyfoot Posted August 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18, 2023 None, it’s not that I don’t get the urge but when I do I like to go through the process of mentally opening a steel cabinet in my mind , putting the thought in there and locking it with a key. Do not want to show weakness and find it best to bottle these things up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC_Hitz Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Whenever I'm making midnight sandwiches after a few wines I always put this on and 99% start weeping. I mean, I am drunk at the time so it provides a catalyst. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted August 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Just remembered one. When our first daughter was born, I got back from the hospital and played this - instant blub. Still does it. Edited August 18, 2023 by mjmooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line “God didn’t see it coming, never said I love you, hope you knew” brings a tear to my eye every time. Great song. My mate introduced me to it not long after my mum passed away. Always gets a lump in the throat whenever I hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time they do, I shout "you words removed coudn't shit on the Villa if you had collective diarrhoea".

Marka Ragnos Posted August 18, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) Always a moving target. It's all about context as much as music, it seems, reading these and thinking back. But are there pieces of music that make me cry in an apparently context-free situation? Well, not possible, really. Context can't be chopped off and set aside. Sometimes even the dumbest songs make me cry and the most dolorous ones don't, depending on the moment. Stlll, this one's a frequent friend ... even just playing it here just now messed me up lol. I think a lot of the emotion connects for me to a moment as a father when my son was in hospital with pneumonia as an infant (he's OK now! knock on wood), and I heard this song then. This whole video intro to the song is hilarious, if you get a chance. Both singers sadly dead now. The song is based on a Robert Burns poem. It's family lore that Burns is a distant relative of mine, but maybe the lore added to the personal impact.

Xela Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Not a song, but a hymn, but this was the entrance song to all 4 of my Grandparents funerals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching Richard and Van singing "Tura, Tura, Tura" on YouTube the other day. It was beautiful, and I recall a comment where someone mentioned Dr John and how at that moment, him and all the others who contributed to the Last Waltz were standing around the stage all in tears. It's almost criminal how Scorcese didn't get that into the film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Fly by Einaudi the first time I heard it (probably because it was in the cinema, in the film Intouchables). I think this is my favourite piece of classical music. A few of Yann Tiersen's beautiful piano pieces from the film Amelie. Storms by Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks) once made me shed a few tears too, as did No Need to Argue by the Cranberries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
