Well I believe it was Snowy who made a topic not so long ago asking which movies brought tears to your eyes. I bet there must be music that make you feel likewise or just touched. Name some songs, music, artists or just even the voices.

I for example dream away by beautiful voices (mostly female). My examples:

Dolores O' Riordan (RIP) from the Cranberries. Even though Zombie and Salvation are the most known , John Lennon died is another powerful one. However Though I think Ode to my Family is one of the most beautiful:

youtube

It's funny but I never really liked the Neverending Story. However the theme song from Limahl is so catchy and nicely sung:

youtube


Donna Lewis, another one with a real warm voice. You surely must have heard about I love you always forever':

youtube

Cyndi Lauper, another special voice tone that touches. Girls wanna have fun, Time after Time and True Colours are classics. But I always had a soft spot for 'That's what I think':

youtube

Whigfield, usually singing upbeat songs like 'Sexy Eyes' but was also capable of bringing sadder songs like 'Ain't it blue' really love the accompanying music too:


youtube

Rammstein oh yes this German band is definitely loved by music fans who like it it a bit louder, heavier. But they really made some strong emotional ones like Mutter (Mother):

youtube

Louise Tucker, schooled as an opera singer, tried her luck at pop songs early 1980s with songs like Midnight Blue but I absolutely adore her version of the Elisabethan Serenade titled 'Only for you', oh and those 80s sounds:

youtube

youtube

Belinda Carlisle, I know it's a clichรฉ song but hey I love it, 'Heaven is a place on earth':

youtube

Roxette was a Swedish duo (RIP Marie Fredriksson) bringing pop rock music with hits such as 'The Look' and 'Dressed for Success'. There is lots of softer stuff from them and i's hard to make a choice but I'll go for 'Listen to Your heart':

youtube

'Abide with me' is said to be the song being played when the Titanic was slowly meeting its end. My favorite version is this one sung by Hayley Westenra:

youtube

Even though this one is clearly created in the memory of the American Civil War, I think it's also still applicable to so many other countries where different regions have their conflicts and wars. 'The Grey and the Blue'


youtube


Last but not least, the Eurovision Song contest winner in 1964, Gigliola Cinquetti from Italy with Non Ho l'Eta (I am too young), an angelic voice:


youtube

Well I feel obliged to add a singer from my own country. Even though she wasn't a favorite of mine in the past, recently I have gotten really into her songs. Petra started her musical career at 17 singing in her mother tongue, late eighties when Flemmish pop music really started to boom. Her first songs were more focused on instrumental new wave music with (the New Beat a predecessor of techno from the 90s actually originates from Belgium). Even though the dept of a song can catch me sometimes I just love this more instrumentally focused stuff. One of her first was Jij daar (Hey you).


youtube


Even though Petra was known for extravagant haircuts, clothing and lvvid dance moves she truly had a wonderful voice too IMO, like in this one 'Ik hou van jou' (I love you) and 'Als ik droom' (When I am dreaming)


youtube

youtube

One of her inspirations was Ann Christy, another Flemmish singer dying at 38, who is considered as one of the best singer from my country. One of her most famous ones was 'De Roos' (The Rose) based on the song from Bette Middler:

I really like this topic! I tend to gravitate towards music that I can sing.

The song that always tends to get to me, is Say Something by A Great Big World. And then A Thousand Years.

I think both pieces are beautiful, and the meaning of the lyrics is amazing. These two are my go to songs, when I just need to feel something.

I think there's more songs that affect me in a negative way than in a positive one. There's so many I just can't stand to hear and I used to just shut off the radio when the came on. Pretty much anything by Billy Idol, Prince, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Queen, Aerosmith, Rolling Stones or the Grateful Dead affected me this way. They were just so awful I couldn't imagine how they ever became professional musicians, and it pissed me off to have to hear them. More recently it's the same with Taylor Swift, Christina Aguilera, Demi Lovato, Justin Bieber, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Lana Del Rey.
