Trully question. I cannot be the only one who cries when listens music. I was the privellege to see my favourite artists live, but since last year, all lives I assisted on YouTube by Fred again.. , I cry . Has been my favourite musician since last year. Almost all songs, for me, are amazing and give me a bunch of emotions.

Radiohead - How to Disappear Completely

Radiohead - Exit Music (For a Film)

Led Zeppelin - Rain Song

Pink Floyd - Great Gig in the Sky

The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter

Pearl Jam - Black (especially the MTV Unplugged version)

Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night (MTV Unplugged)

This isn't every song I could put forth, but it's a good short list off the top of my head. They're breathtaking, emotional art when actively listened to with good headphones or speaker setup with volume up and no distractions. Even if you know these songs already, I encourage you to have a focused, active listening session. I think other than Rain Song which is probably like 7 or 8 minutes, all of these songs are only like 4 or 5 minutes long. We should all be able to take 5 minutes out of our day to enjoy some good art. If that 5 minutes is really precious, then I specifically recommend How to Disappear Completely because I interpret it to be about dissociating from anxieties and expectations and responsibilities for just a moment of peace, almost wishing for failure because what success you've found is contributing to the lack of time and peace that you so crave, and feeling guilty for that when you know that people would give anything to have what you have. That song didn't mean anything to me until I put it on in the shower (I love my waterproof Bluetooth speaker) after a rough stretch of work, and it slammed into me harder than any song ever has. It was the exact right time and place for me to be listening, and it allowed me to let go of much more than I even knew I was holding onto. It was like an emotional enema, flushing things out that I didn't even know were there. It wasn't fun, but it was what I needed, and it might be what somebody else reading through these is looking for... Have a good cry!

Stairway to heaven; comfortably numb

[-] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Agreed. I had a similar moment with Stairway in the shower. The Dies Irae in the last bit of the guitar solo really moved me. I have no idea how I never noticed that. I'm kinda scared to revisit Comfortably Numb with that level of attention. It will probably also be a powerful one, and I already think it's incredible.
