Im an emotional music listener

I really love music. For whatever reasons, music really affects me in a strong way. I don't know I guess I just have conditioned myself to really try to feel the song. I know I sound crazy right now, and its hard to describe.

I know this song has been out for a while, but I heard it yesterday in my car, and it made me cry. It is 'Sometime Around Midnight' by the Airborne Toxic Event.

In the song he sings about the pain of seeing an ex-girlfriend. The song peaks both musically and emotionally when he sees her leave with another guy 'but she makes sure you saw her'. I have never had a girlfriend, but I know this pain. It's like someone is reaching in and tearing out your heart. The music compliments this so much that the whole thing just pushed me over the top, and I had to cry. I am a reasonably stoic guy, but there are some things that strike a chord in me that really reverberate.

In less embellished news, its FRIDAY! And I am so happy its the weekend. I have NOTHING to do, and that's actually a good thing. Maybe I'll head out to the club Saturday night and look for me a husband :-)

Heres the song:

Sometime Around Midnight


Did you cry? If not then you probably aren't listening loud enough (or you are dead on the inside). Turn it up loader, and repeat. At some point you will cry... or blow out your eardrums, which will likely also achieve the intended outcome.

Much Love,
Steve

Dude I absolutely LOVE that song. I can never get tired of that song! It's that epic. I didn't necessarily cry, but it always give me goosebumps.

Love

Finally had a chance to watch. Nothing like a quiet Sunday morning.

I wasn't really moved that much by it, but it *did* remind me of various moments in my life when I was moved to tears, for completely random and different reasons.

There are some really nice songs i downloaded a while ago from a music site... I can't listen to them at all now, because they make me too sad. :'(
