rocketman Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Only when I'm in the zone playing something right, which happens about once every 10 years unfortunately! I got a huge lump in my throat when SRV passed way though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruznolfart Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The Maple's Lament by Laurie Lewis never fails to move me. The lyric is moving in and of itself but Lewis's clear voice against the haunting notes drawn on the fiddle is a chilling combination. Sorry there's no vid posted but the mp3's available here. http://the-maples-lament-lewis-the-maples-lamen-mp3-download.kohit.net/_/578313 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Sometimes the old "Minstrel Boy" does get to me. And it's centuries old. I know it's cornball in ways, but when the mood's right, I've sung it as a reenactor of soldiers in an era it would have been recognized... The melody is choice, it plays well fingerstyle on guitar, sung a capella or simply recited. Oddly it works well in US 1860s "CW" camps of both sides, as both sides might identify with the warrior bard. The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone in the rank of death you'll find him His father's sword he has girded on and his wild harp slung behind him "Land of Song" said the warrior bard "Though all the world betrays thee, one sword at least thy rights shall guard, one faithful harp shall praise thee" The Minstrel fell but the foeman's chain could not bring his proud sail under The Harp he loved ne'er spoke again for he tore it's chords asunder And said "No chains shall sully thee, Thou soul of love and bravery. Thy songs were made for the pure and the free, They shall never sound in slavery" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruznolfart Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjem3G_QsKA[/YOUTUBE] I really like Cohen's music but often prefer someone else's cover as his singing often isn't up to his lyrics. Here's the same song by Joe Cocker. See what you think. http://www.last.fm/music/Joe+Cocker/_/Bird+On+A+Wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Arcadius Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Lots of stuff has done that. But I have to mention listening to the whole ''Metropolis Pt.2 - Scenes from a memory'' album by Dream Theater, does it a lot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 The Passion According to St. Matthew and Jesus Joy of Men's Desire. One because it saddens em, the other because it fills me with joy. It takes Bach. Also, the Mexican National Anthem, specially before a soccer match. I feel like a traitor for converting, and it just fills me with rage. I lose it. Then, there is the love song that reminds me of her. Change the station fast enough or I'll start getting misty-eyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie brown Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 "Amazing Grace" on Bagpipes will do it, everytime....(My Scotch-Irish blood, I guess?) "God Only Knows" The Beach Boys "Tears in Heaven" Eric Clapton... "Wind Beneath My Wings" Better Midler And, So many others... Actually, any great piece of music, played (and/or sung) with real passion and expertise, CAN (and often does) do that, to me. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Last night I had severe cottonmouth and ate some chips that gave me a lump in my throat. I almost choked to death. Seriously though, a lot of music has that affect on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookieman15061 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Here Today by Paul Mccartney. Written as kind of an open letter to John after his murder. The last verse goes; And if I say I really loved you and was glad you came along Then you were here today For you were in my song Here Today He did it live when I saw him back in August at Fenway Park and barely made it through that last line.

charlie brown Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 "In My Life" is another "Beatles" song, that can do that, too. Lennon's "Beautiful Boy," from Double Fantasy... (I always loved the line: "Life is what happens to you, while your busy making other plans!") I also remember a "live" version, of "Wonderful Tonight," where EC did a second solo...starting with one really elongated/sustained bent note...that just sent shivers down the spine, and a tear to one's eye. I absolutely LOVE IT, when that happens. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
