Now music has power to stir the emotions.
However few song s really contain real emotion from the singer - or do they?
Here is a couple of candidates
Sends shivers up my spine. So apt and he knew he was dying
I Can't Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt
Would normally say "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" but X-Factor has kinda ruined it for me for the time being.

J's mantra.[/url]
This sends shivers down my spine, her voice is just angelic
And the accappella
Then this brings tears to my eyes for other reasons

Anything Neurosis have ever written.
Crippled Black Phoenix - "200 Tons of Bad Luck"; "Bastogne Blues" etc
I gotta agree with you on the Johnny Cash "Hurt" one.
System of a Down - "Soldier Side"
Neil Young - "Every Man Needs a Maid", plus many others by him.
Pink Floyd - "On the Turning Away"; "Wish You Were Here"
Plus many others...
Dammit TJ i have tears rolling down my cheeks now thanks to this thread

Hurt has been played to death, but this one is from the same album,
or this one,
Basically anything from the American IV album.
Saw Tom Paxton on Saturday, played this:

Hadn't heard it before, simple song (like most of Paxton's) but instant lump in the throat when the chorus came in for the first time.
sorry Houns 😳
Could be joy as well as sadness.
any strong [i]real[/i] emotion.
How about a bit of Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac, before they went all middle of the road crap,
Very moving when you realise the personal nature of the lyrics.
Peter Green +1 the [i]only[/i] Fleetwood Mac!
As for the Eels:
Cat Stevens... a couple of my favourites...
Sitting
Can't keep it in
Kev
Shivers down the spine and emotional impact are 2 different things to me...for the latter:
Days
(I have been slated for this previously)
Lately
This one tears me apart inside...
still love her 😥
Known for being open with her emotions on stage I would go for these two songs by Nina Simone
The point was a song where the singer is showing real emotion - Ton has it. 😯 🙄 A few more to listen to but some of these are songs[i] about[/i] emotions not containing them
I'd have said Jacques Brel has it too TJ... 🙄
It's ok TJ i don't mind
Seattle's Shawn Smith knows a thing or two about life.
no one emotes quite like Lucinda Williams
iDave - MemberI'd have said Jacques Brel has it too TJ.
Oh agreed - there are a few good examples
Firstly, I would like to nominate someone I saw last night:
And secondly I'd like to forward:
seems to be a good thread for beardy men....
or Gram and Emmylou
Sad - Pogues Waltzing Matilda
Happy - Proclaimers Jean
I think you underestimate the emotion music can give.
2 songs that made me cry buckets recently
Oh Shipbuilding - good call!
I think there is a difference between songs designed to produce an emotional response and songs containing real emotion.
