    The first time I heard 'And I Love Her' it made me cry.

    It was a live solo performance by Paul McCartney from the sixties that aired on VH1...

    I was 13 and the hormones were raging.

    i dont really cry from music, but these get to me:


    requiem for a dream

    some other shit (that last johnny cash CD is super sad)

    and that song on the radio (i hate it but.. ) that went "this house is not a home" that almost made me cry when i got kicked outa my house and had to live all uncomfortable in my sisters house, where im all in the way

    D minor, the saddest of all keys. Makes people weep instantly. ;)
    I think "Turn of the Century" by Yes is incredibly moving. :(:(:( It's about a sculptor who is so engrossed in his work that he doesn't notice his lady slowly dying. It's one of the few Yes songs where the lyrics make sense (I think the drummer wrote the words).

    The last time it happened to me was to a live Oasis (more like Noel solo.. just him and his acoustic guitar) cover of The Beatles' "Help!"

    Oh geez, I have so many songs that get to me. I'm an emotional kind of girl. ;) I really FEEL the music, it touches me deep within, happy or sad.

    CRACK, I live YES, they are the best thing to happen to the earth ever, but it seems like most people cant pick it up because they are too critical when it comes to philosophy.

    And Orsino better not have anything to say about that because he called Tales From Topographic Oceans a sloppy mess or some shit.

    RELAYER doooooood, wazzup?!
    Yeah, how could I forget "Gates of Delirium"? The ending vocal ballad requires at least 3 boxes of Kleenex. Something about Steve Howe's guitar (or is it pedal steel... I'm never quite sure) just yanks on the ole tear ducts. All about Steve ;)

    I really do. Coz I was there once. Listening to 4-minute radio candy & all. Don't get me wrong... the radio candy's cool if that's what you like, but there's another world if you have the patience.

    Hey relayer, just one question and then I'll cease hijacking this thread... what sort of music were you into before you discovered Yes? Man, I was into some really cheezy stuff... too embarrassed mention.
