LuketheXjesse Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I don't mean, like, reduced to a blubbering idiot or anything, just, you know, made you shed a tear or two, or at least made your eyes water just because a song was that amazing to you. This one did the trick for me: EDIT: This song from Metal Gear Solid did it too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3Eu4f8QLrc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleck Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Knights Of Cydonia. Edit: The Metal Gear Solid 3 theme, during the fight with Volgin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaudan Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Longcat's song made me sigh wistfully. It was probably the animation's fault though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moseph Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Listening to a live performance of Olivier Messiaen's Quatuor pour la fin du temps was one of the relatively rare instances in which I would say that I was "moved" by music. EDIT: Also, hearing Vespers at a convent in Salzburg, Austria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entropicdecay Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Definitely "The Best is Yet to Come" from MGS. Smiles & Tears from EB is another one. Come to think of it, a lot of songs from Earthbound and Mother are super good. Here's sort of a list. -"Mother Earth", the opening to Mother. -"Eight Melodies", a song very important to Mother. -The credits to A Link to the Past. -The credits to Yoshi's Island. -"Theme of Laura" from Silent Hill 2. -"Room of Angel" from Silent Hill 4 -The Mother 3 Love song. It's so beautiful. -"Because I Love You" from Earthbound. Some non videogame songs. -"I Will Wait for You" - I remember this song from long before Futurama used it to tear out our hearts. My grandma used to sing this to her beloved Westie. He died in 2002. I saw Jurassic Bark in 2005. I fucking CRIED. -"Street Spirit (Fade Out)" by Radiohead -"Drinking Song" by Rob Dougan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thin Crust Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I'm a Christian, so I've had my share of music that made me cry. Although I'll only post them if asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tables Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Definitely "The Best is Yet to Come" from MGS. God DAMN YES that song is great. Other songs: The S&M version of Metallica's "Master Of Puppets" Uh that's it. I feel lame now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Damned Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I don't really understand the implied connection here. Does Christianity necessarily enhance musical emotion? Thin Crust is just doing that thing some religious people do. They have to mention their religion whenever they can for some reason, whether they realize it's appropriate to do so or not. It may be relevant in that music had made him cry, but he didn't meed to tell us it was because of his religion (which may be the basis for how he was moved or not). He could have just cited the titles of certain songs, or even just said "a few songs I heard in church", but instead, he had to announce it first. As for the topic, no. I'm dead inside, obviously.

What does being a Christian have to do with being affected by music? And why wait for someone to ask you to post something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thin Crust Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I don't really understand the implied connection here. Does Christianity necessarily enhance musical emotion? Most songs tell a story or at the very least, try to sound good. Christian songs however, bring to light the core beliefs of what is central to our faith. It universally speaks to all individuals on a personal level. And not only that, the core values of what a Christian believes is an awe inspiring thing. To avoid any unnecessary flaming, I wont go any further than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Sounds Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 The Biolizard theme from Sonic Adventure 2. Not so much because it was "that good", but probably due to extreme lack of sleep I had at the time. A non-video game song? Hm... I think "Sparks" by Overseer had me a little watery the first time I heard it. Made me wanna check out the solo album by the singer, Rachael Gray.

EdgeCrusher Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Are you one of the people that we see in the commercials for that compliation of christian music that goes to the shows and waves their hands in the air, crying, and praising jesus?

Tensei Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Actually Our God Is An Awesome God is pretty fucking epic, that whole kristianity schtick aside. I have never cried because of a song, but some of them really do move me, especially if they were in a certain context (like a movie) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyiVKtt6dgc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHO5KWIMZUo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollgagh Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I have never not rolled my eyes upon hearing modern christian songs. maybe because I'm a hardcore traditionalist catholic (I go to low [latin] mass every sunday ffs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the topic, no. I'm dead inside, obviously. Actually he's not. He's saying that his faith and songs about faith-related things have made him cry. He's not posting the songs because they're not really that relevant here, and would most certainly be made out to be "that thing that some religious people do" due to their lyrics and topic. You're just being an ass trying to subtly ridicule him and his faith. Yes he could have said it another way, but so could you, in a way that wouldn't demean him and his faith. And yes, Our God is an awesome God is an awesome song. Not sure it's made me cry, but I do know there are loads of songs, christian, vgm, movie score, and others, that have.
