As for the topic on the OP... there is a bunch of stuff I cannot listen to because of emotional connections. Even before certain events in my life... this song and scene from the movie Highlander ****s me up.

The national anthem right before a major sporting event is one of the best parts. Love the national anthem. Brings chills when it's sung well. I always stand for it and remove my cap, even if im just in my living room. It's an iconic moment in sports entertainment. |

Now recently they have taken to playing other "nationalistic" (put in quotations because it is a term that can carry a negative connotation and I want to emphasize that I mean it clinically and not critically) like "God Bless America" as well. I'll go to a political rally to get my fill for that kind of content. I came for the sport. The opposite doesn't make sense. No one goes to a concert but first has to watch replays of a sporting event. |

Good lord, so many movies make me cry and a few songs depending on my mood lol. My little bro died like 2 months after graduating high school. I'm only 2 years older than him, so we did everything together. A few months after that I watched Bridge to Terabithia and bawled my eyes out at that. I also remember being like 16/17 and watching a ****ing Walk to Remember and bawling about that lol.

Bittersweet by Zac Brown Band. It’s brutally sad but uplifting at the same time. Perfect song title.

The end of "Saving Private Ryan" is an obvious choice for a tear jerker. Last edited by ThrobProng; 06-27-2024 at 02:18 PM.. |

Down here in FL...it seems around every national holiday Publix puts out a new commercial....those are heartwarming. As for songs that make me tear up... My Old Man- Zac Brown Band....the morning they previewed it nationally I was driving in to work....the words struck such a chord in me that I had to pull off the road to compose myself. Still makes me teary/ Amazing Grace- sung by just about anyone....but especially when it is done with a bagpipe or multiple bagpipes. The Breath You Take- George Strait As for movies... Field of Dreams- when Kevin Costner says "you wanna have a catch" it reminds me when I used to ask my dad to play catch. |

Sorry....I am sure that I am not in the minority.....but most people do not mind the singing of the National Anthem before the start of a "quality sporting event>

As for Carrie Underwood....if you want a song of hers that will make you tear up....listen to and watch the video of "Temporary Home". I was on my way home from my Father's funeral in 2011 and turned on the music to wind down. The first song that came up was that one....and the 3rd verse where it starts.... Old man, hospital bed The room is filled with people he loves And he whispers don't cry for me I'll see you all someday He looks up and says "I can see God's face" That just got to me... |
