Yeah, the song alone is quite sad but when you watch the video, what with the pictures of his dead wife and knowing the fact he died only a few months after he released it, it's pretty damn sad.

Only 4 songs have every made me cry, and I don't cry to often 😕

Johnny Cash - Hurt (while watching the music video...It just hits you 😢 )
Arcade Fire - Wake Up (It wasn't really the song that made me cry, but just what it made me think about)
The Smiths - Back To The Old House (I just imagined this kid my age, with a dark past, and no where to go...I don't even like the song very much, but I still found myself crying)
Neutral Milk Hotel - Two Headed Boy Pt. II (the last 3 lines)

😢

[quoteAlong the lines of experiencing emotion from songs though, I do get chills from quite a few songs. I know it's completely different, but it still involves emotions experienced though music.

I've never actually cried listening to music, but Sleeper 1972 by Manchester Orchestra has put me on the brink.

"Whipping Post" is probably the closest a song has ever gotten me to cry for the sake of the song. Others make me cry because of memories associated with certain ones, some are even happy. 🙁

Haha, it's funny, she actually knows that one, too, and had her Grandmother convinced for a while that I was trying to raise her as some kind of Evangelical.

Makes a better NMH song to sing to kids than others. Imagine trying to get one to sleep by screaming in their face "I LOOOVEE YOUU JESUUS CHRIIIIIIST"

Happens to me almost every time I hear "Engine" by Neutral Milk Hotel. Your child theory may be on to something, though, as that's usually the song I sing to put my two-year-old to sleep.

Am I alone? Have I just grown soft with age?

With age, humans tend to lose control of their orifices. 🙁
