Emotional Rock Songs

Are there any favorite songs of yours that seem to bring out the emotions or a tear to the eye for you? Here's a couple that get to me every time I hear them. One of the artists, Ian Hunter, has said in interviews that bringing someone to tears is one of thehighest compliments he can get as a musician.

I can't view or post U-Tube links while here at work, so I can't check out your posted links. But to answer your question ............. Boston's 'Man I'll Never Be' has some very emotional ties to my past. I love that song.

Don't know if it would be considered classic rock/folky kinda rock, but every single time I hear it, I get all choked up.....Cat's in the Cradle byHarry Chapin.

U2 "With or Without You" A wonderful experience... Soon after my wife had left me I found myself in Universal City Walk, and they played that song on the big vid screen... I just stood there and cried like ababy, I mean, like, really wailing. Well, two women came up and asked if I was okay - and then a couple more people walked up... and before the song was overthere were probably close to a dozen people standing there giving me a group hug... it was absolutely incredible... It was at that moment that I startedturning my life around... I'll never forget it... Greg

I downloaded that song about four years ago and played it over and over again really loud hoping my husband would clueinto the words. That song could have been written for him. I can't even listen to it anymore cuz it makes me cry. <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/frown.gif" alt="image"> ~Karen

alright....these threads have turned this place into a bunch of girly-men, namby pamby softies.....so I will explain my song's reasoning for me.....<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/chevyhoney/beerdrinking.gif"> Karen, your post made me think why.....my dad was physically there for me, he was not mentally there tho. It was tough for a little kid(me). Hey don't getme wrong, I was lucky he was there at all.....my wife's dad bagged on them when she was young. I found myself going down the same exact route he did. Iheard this song one day about 4 years ago, and I got really depressed, and saw how it affected my relationship with my boy. I felt like the world's biggesta-hole. I got depressed and hard on myself. In turn I got really hard on my boy. At a whopping 3 years old, he really deserved it. I felt like an even biggerjerk. I had to get help. For over a year, I went to therapy for a year, twice a week. It helped. I realized that I couldn't pass along what my dad did tomy son, thru me. It wasn't my boy's fault, but I didn't know better. Strange thing was, almost a year *to the day* I heard that song again. Thistime it was a better experience. things aren't perfect, no one is! But when I hear this song, it puts me back to that good spot, and I thank Mr. Chapin forthat. I'm sure that would make him happy <img src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif"> chad

Not a rock song, but after reading Greg's Karen's and Chad's posts, maybe we need to think about how we interact with our loved one andfriends........ I have always liked this song..... It is sad that 2 of them are no longer with us...... <a target="_blank" href="http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=traveling+wilburys+handle+with+care&emb=0&aq=3&oq=traveling+w"></a><a href="http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=traveling+wilburys+handle+with+care&emb=0&aq=3&oq=traveling+w">http://video.google.com/v...p;aq=3&oq=traveling+w</a>#

Thank You by Led Zeppelin, Trademark by Eric Johnson, Lenny by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Daydream by Robin Trower. All of these songs make me feel emotional and sometimes give me goosebumps just listening to them. Dave.

Andrea, I can relate. I like that one along with" If You Could Read My Mind" by Gordon Lightfoot. I remember I couldn't listen to Van Halen's " Love Walks In" for a long time right after the summer of 1986. It reminded me too much of a girl who broke my heart. I think I'm getting a little mushy here and I think I better go have a beer and lose my hearing to some Iron Maiden or AC / DC.<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/laugh.gif" alt="image"> Dave.
