Why do certain songs make me feel like crying?

Songs make you feel that way because of the fact that songwriters pull their music and lyrics from somewhere incredibly deep inside themselves. It's an expression of strong emotion, and it touches you deeply. I just lost a friend in a car accident, and a certain song (Brave Saint Saturn...Estrella) had me absolutely sobbing. The songwriter was writing about something totally different than I was experiencing, but his emotion touched mine through music in a way that only music can.

"All That I Got Is You" by Ghostface Killah\n\n- silly, I know, but true!\n\nThere are a few others that get me teared up. 'Fast Car' by Tracy Chapman, 'Coat of Many Colors' by Dolly Parton, 'Independence Day' by Bruce Springsteen - all about families and/or poverty.\n\n(edit) Oh, one more - 'The Band Played Waltzing Matilda' by Eric Bogle (though I knowit in the Pogues' version)

Oh I cry for any reason at all! Even when I'm really angry I just cry. I think happy tears flow more easily because we LET them come. Tears for sorrow are reluctant tears.

I listen to that type of music whenever I'm feeling depressed. If I had a bad day, I'll start by listening to slower sadder songs that I can cry too, then once I feel a little better I listen to happier songs. (Right now I usually go to If You're Going Thru Hell, by Rondney Atkins--which is actually a country song)\n\nSo basically, the misery comes first.

Why are you sad? Is something bothering you? Seems like you need to talk to someone.Sad songs are okay to listen to. But if you are crying all the time, then there is an underlying condition. Please confide in a friend or parent. Things will get better. Talk to someone and get your feelings out in the open. Good luck, sweetie.

You can't.  It's just your emotions flowing out. I am like that too.  Don't worry.  It's ok if you cry a lot.

Some classical music have an extra ordinary effect on me. I have to stop what I'm doing and listen to it.  I feel it  filling up my body it's so beauty.  I don't know why music has that effect on humans.  There must be a scientific reason.

we actually cry as much at sad endings; as happy 1's------Its an overwhelming emotion-empathy--you cant help it--you feel like your the one in the situation.It overcomes your emotions and you let loose. Passes a hanky

Yes, sad movies make me cry (sometimes).  No, my family and friends don't all know how much I love them.

Whenever you listen to your favourite tunes or something which means a lot to you (someone praises you),feel-good hormones ( i think it is called seratonin) are released. They probably cause the associated chills and goosebumps.

When i am feeling just overwhelmed by everything i put on some music that is like hard rock - i like Adema, and i write just about what i am feeling or just whatever i want to. It helps me get all me feelings out and it relaxes me.

I would say yes.  Listening to music of a certain kind can trigger certain emotions.  This is subjective to the person listening and what emotions the music makes them feel.  Emotions are addictive and you may want to feel certain emotions at certain times.  One way to do this is thru music.

To begin with, something upsetting has happened to bring you to the point of tears.  This in itself is stressful.  Stress and tension break down the ammune system and can lead to illness over time.  So, when you cry, and I mean really sob, your body is releasing stress, sadness, perhaps anger, and all around tension.  It isn't just the crying that is tiring, it is the emotional drainage.  Did you know it takes more muscles to frown than to smile?  I've cried quite a bit, I'm kind of an expert, tee hee.
