How Long Ago Since You Cried Listening To Music?


For me is was last weekend, The group "Sugarland" singing "Stay".

There's a difference between "feeling nothing" and crying. You cryers think you have a monopoly on an emotional connection to the music?
We're talking about crying. Crying.
Do you cry when you drive a beautiful automobile? When you see a beautiful woman?
We're talking about crying.
Ever get a rush that starts as just a tingle, then increases, and envelopes your whole body until you can barely stand it? My first flight did that. Once I moved, the rush subsided. Since then, music has done it a few times. I've learned to sit still and enjoy.
Never cried while listening, but I'll bet the op was referring to music bringing tears. If it doesn't happen to you it's one of those things you'll just never know. Are you missing anything? Who knows?
Thanks Sebrof. Exactly what I was thinking, yet more articulate and nicer too.

Just because I don't cry to music or movies, or some other type of entertainment that makes others cry doesn't mean I'm some emotionless/soul-less douche bag that's not in tune with his emotions.

Music brings about a whole host of emotions for me - gets adrenaline flowing right before a workout and keeps me going when I'm contemplating calling it quits. It puts a huge smile on my face when I'm alone and randomly hear a song my 9 month old daughter has recently started to bop around to. I feel loss when I hear a song that reminds me of a loved one who's passed on.

So not crying tears of joy nor sorrow isn't a real connection to the music? I guess I'm not enlightened enough. Well, at least my friends won't make fun of me for crying, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.
Why would anyone make fun of somebody for crying? I don't understand. I guess if someone you loved dearly passed on and you cried, people would accept this as being OK. But if you were brought to tears while listening to music, your friends might think you were a sissy? Sounds shallow.
