What Gets You Emotional?

bellabear.:

I just recently pretty much cried for a while after listening to Because of you- Kelly Clarkson. Some people might go "eww that's an old song." but it really made me cry. There was so many things about that song that made me think about my shitty life. I never realized how much it seemed as if she was singing my life story. Even if I just read the lyrics, it makes me cry for a while. Now, everytime I hear that song, I practically bawl my eyes out.

Unless I'm in public, that's just embarassing.

So what exactly gets you emotional?

Oh my gosh. Me too! I bawl everytiime I watch the video, I don't know what it is, but it hits a nerve or two. :/

Let Love In by A Cursive Memory. It's so beautiful and sad. I don't quite know exactly what it is about that song, but I just can't listen to it without crying more than I should. I think it's because I know it's so pretty and it can't go on forever no matter how much I wish it could.

mmm, for some reason, nicholas sparks books/movies haven't been able to make me cry.
I don't know if I've said this already, since I post a lot on here....

but Toy Story 3.
so so so sad. :')

First time I heard Fiction by Avenged Sevenfold, I cried for like an hour, and I never cry.

A lot of TAI songs make me emotional.

Mostly songs: Leave Out All The Rest by Linkin Park, Your Gaurdian Angel & Cat and Mouse by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Dear Agony & Anthem of the Angels by Breaking Benjamin, Vanilla Twilight by Owl City, One By One by The Calling, and Runaway Train by Oleander. <3 I love them all, though.

Undead Angel:

First time I heard Fiction by Avenged Sevenfold, I cried for like an hour, and I never cry.

I still get teary eyed sometimes when I hear Fiction.

- - - - - - - - -
So Far Away - Avenged Sevenfold
Concrete Angel - Martina McBride
Amazing Grace

Dancing Dead.:

I still get teary eyed sometimes when I hear Fiction.

As do I. The 28th of this month is going to kill me.

Music, both because of the power it can hold over my emotions just based on it's sound, and the ties that many songs hold for me to certain memories of the past...

Also a few very specific movies.

The song 'Second Star to the Right' by Jonatha Brooke, from the movie Peter Pan. It makes me bawl whenever I hear it and it's one of my favourites, it reminds me of when I was a kid and how everything was so innocent then. I sound like a baby but I usually cry when I watch the movie, 'cos I was so convinced he was real

A lot of my favourite songs remind me of my childhood though, mostly because they were my favourites as a kid too.

Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis. Just... yeah. It hurts to listen to it, even though it sounds so pretty and I love that song, I just feel the heartache.

Fiction by Avenged Sevenfold and Hurt by Johnny Cash.
I can't help myself.

Stop Crying Your Heart Out - Oasis. Because that's a given. Also, Adele's "Someone Like You" and The Hollies' "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother".
Films include Ladder 49, Green Mile, Bucket List, Forrest Gump.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower has made me cry a couple times.

"Runnin' Down a Dream" by Tom Petty, and "Losing My Religion" by REM always get me emotional because they're songs I used to listen to with my dad...

I once nearly cried watching the last episode of The Young Ones when they all fall off a cliff and die, haha. but I was pretty sleep deprived at the time :P

The music video Make It Stop by Rise Against off of their new CD. The first time I watched it I started crying.

The songs:
Living on a prayer by Bon Jovi
Jueves by La oreja de Van Gogh
Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
and a lot of movies like:
City of angels
What dreams may come
The bodyguard
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
etc
memories, and specific quotes from books

"Pray for Me" by Sixx: A.M.
Saving Private Ryan
"Cancer" by My Chemical Romance
"Home Sweet Home" By Motley Crue
"Wind of Change" by Scorpions
and "Fiction" by Avenged sevenfold

Schindler's List/Schindler's Ark. I know everyone cries at Holocaust books but I wasn't really crying for the obvious reasons. Schindler's life goes downhill after the war, and that was really upsetting because he had been such a hero. I don't think I could read the last chapter again without getting overly emotional.

The anime No.6, it gets me so much all the time.

Hah, a lot of things can make me cry. ;)

Toy Story 3. I bawled my EYES out in the movie theatre - I felt like my childhood was ending. It was a fantastic film, but just...I don't know. It was the end of an era. And other movies, too...mostly family films. I cried at Tangled, at the end, and Home Alone just makes me so thankful for my parents and siblings. I don't know. I'm a sucker for good family film. (This includes Bambi, which I can't ever watch without tearing up.)

As for songs...a lot. I will cry just if something has a really pretty chord progression, and I don't know why! Like Moon River from Breakfast at Tiffany's. Just so damn beautiful. And really corny, really old songs...like Honey or The Autumn of My Life by Bobby Goldsboro. It's stupid, but they're so great. Earth Song, by Michael Jackson - that's powerful.

I don't know, anything that sounds pretty can make me cry because I'm one of those people that will listen to music (even without words) on repeat just because I like the chords.
