Now I’m not talking about songs that have sad lyrics, or songs that remind you of a sad event. I’m talking about a song, that for some unknown reason just makes you start to tear up. It’s almost as if there is just something about it that pulls the right strings in your brain, I don’t know any other way to put it.
I have found a few songs that do this to me in the past, but I just heard one recently at the end of an episode of Rick and Morty. I found it on youtube and I have listened to it countless times, and I am obsessed with it, and it’s not even the kind of music I usually like. Tell me if it affect any of you like that.
Anything by Bill Withers.
Good, so I’m not the only one that that happens to? Do you know what it is about Hurt that makes you tear up? Or is it just inexplicable?

Feel Good Inc
Believe it or not but the Wintergrasp music makes me cry so hard
Dear mama by Tupac.
I’ve never had a random song that made me cry or tear up for no reason, but there are plenty that get me because of the memories they bring up.
The only time I’ve ever cried from a song is after a death of a close relative and Canon in D came on through Pandora.
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
Dizzy with eternity
Paint it with a skin of sky, brush in some clouds and sea
Call it home for you and me
A peaceful place, or so it looks from space
A closer look reveals the human race
Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face
But afraid we may lay our home to waste
There’s a fear down here we can’t forget
Hasn’t got a name just yet
Always awake, always around
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Now watch as the ball revolves and the night-time falls
And again the hunt begins and again the blood wind calls
By and by, again, the morning sun will rise
But the darkness never goes from some men’s eyes
(Well I know)
It strolls the sidewalk and it rolls the streets
Staking turf, dividing up meat
Nightmare spook, piece of heat
It’s you and me, you and me
Click flash blade in ghetto night
Rudy’s looking for a fight
Rat cat alley, roll them bones
Need that cash to feed that Jones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Commissars and pinstripe bosses roll the dice
Anyway they fall, guess who gets to pay the price?
Money green, or proletarian gray
Selling guns instead of food today
So the kids they dance and shake their bones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Heartless powers try to tell us what to think
If the spirit’s sleeping then the flesh is ink
History’s page will be neatly carved in stone
The future’s here, we are it, we are on our own
On our own, on our own, we are on our own
If the game is lost, then we’re all the same
No one left to place or take the blame
We will leave this place an empty stone
Or that shining ball of blue we call our home
So the kids, they dance, they shake their bones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Shipping powders back and forth
Singing black goes south and white comes north
And the whole world full of petty wars
Singing I got mine and you got yours
While the current fashions set the pace
Lose your step, fall out of grace
The radical, he rant and rage
Singing someone got to turn the page
And the rich man in his summer home
Singing just leave well enough alone
But his pants are down, his cover’s blown
And the politicians throwing stones
So the kids, they dance, they shake their bones
'Cause it’s all too clear we’re on our own
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
It’s dizzying, the possibilities
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
(Ashes, ashes, all fall down)
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
(Ashes, ashes, all fall down)
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
(Ashes, ashes, all fall down)
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
(Ashes, ashes, all fall down)
Basically just any song from Hamilton.
Rose is right, Bill Withers could really reach you and flip a switch. Willie Nelson can do the same for me but he is heavily associated with my grandma in my memories.
I’m a human with a working pulse. If you don’t have either it won’t affect you
