Fwoor.. just come across this thread - ok, it's 568436875 messages long and has been going on for ages, and given that I'm on someone else's computer right now I don't have time to read through them all! I just thought I'd throw in my 2c worth for 'emotional songs':
When it comes to techno, I guess tracks that come to mind are 'hope' (oliver lieb mix) by illuminatus, 'generator' by parker & clind, 'lost in love' by legend b (ok, cheese maybe, but ooooh does it set off the goosebumps!
) .. and, shit, now that I think about it, about 50-100 other tracks that all have the potential to make every hair on my body stand on end/bring tears to the eyes while on the dancefloor!
When it comes to, err, "normal" (?!) music, well.. I have a couple of tapes that, weird as it may sound, I _love_ to sing along to in the car at any time, but especially when feeling super emotional on the way home from/the day after a party! Songs on these tapes include..
Anna begins (counting crows)
Black (pearl jam)
With or without you (u2)
Running to stand still (u2)
Paranoid android (radiohead)
Don't stop me now (queen) - AWESOME 'good mood' song! .. very annoying otherwise
Betterman (pearl jam)
Nothingman (pj)
Comfortably numb (floyd)
Mayonnaise (smashing pumpkins)
.. and, ooh, so many others.. it's a real funny (?) sight when I'm at the lights next to a 'normal' person, singing _real_ loud and crying at the same time to one of these songs, sometime during the day on a sunday.. ahhh, funny funny.. but it's all good
Erg.. kinda manic/tired at the same time at the moment, so this message has just been babble.. suffice to say that, as others have said, music goes way beyond being part of my life, it _is_ my life.. any non-chemical/sex stimulus which has the potential to make me rush so hard that I break out in goosebumps/cry is a pretty special thing as far as I'm concerned!
later..
