Do certain things, such as music or art, overwhelm you enough to make you cry?
They certainly do with me.
Things that can make me start sobbing, or at least get tears in my eyes:
1.opera music
2.great art works..especially Van Gogh and Rembrandt
3.beautiful birds and horses
4.ballet
5.child prodigies in dance and music
Yes. all the time. Music, memories, thoughts.. I have to wonder, why do you ask? Surely you must know that all people are emotionaly moved by something?
@Loud_Love I think men respond this way to artistic beauty more than women do; studies show that most male traits are on the right hemisphere of the brain- the side that appreciates art and music, but doesn't "talk," as the left side does.
Just watching "Pretty Woman" last night on Netflix, when they reached the opera scene, the music made me start sobbing.
Yes. Some music, and certain moments in movies.
You need to go on you tube and look for Jane Zhang singing "All of ME" written by John Legend.
I'm a pretty emotional guy so a number of things can touch my buttons like a particular song or a beautiful picture or video or a natural beauty sight or loving creatures and people or... Well, you get the idea. These things touch my emotions in a manner that makes me feel grateful or humble.
Yes very much so. Goosebumps, chills, lump in throat, tears, all of it.
That happened to me twice on holidays! Once at the Art Institute of Chicago when I walked into the Impressionism exhibit, and at a performance of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus. They had just walked on stage, hadn't even started singing yet!
Yeah..I cried from the pure beauty of a Welsh men's chorus even when they were singing nasty nonsense lyrics (when translated) as part of stand-up comedy routine.
On more than a couple of occasions I've cried over nice standard old school dobermans at a show after having been subjected to seeing endless reams of neo mutant monsters. Like an oasis in a sea of derp, one or two come out with angels singing behind them. Probably sounds silly to 99.9999 people on here but it's a big deal to me. My type is going extinct.
I just watched Beautiful Woman on Netflix and when they were at the opera scene in the movie, I started crying from the beauty of the music, which is what inspired me to post this.
