Music and emotions

Hi. Just wondering if anyone find music a big emotional influence?

I am finding the last few years if I hear certain songs I get emotional. Sometimes I could be driving (which I love doing) and a song I like comes on I get almost tearfully emotional and not sure if it’s happy or sad.  
doesn’t happen every time but more so lately ( have been feeling low of late) 

just wondered other people’s thoughts. 
thanks

  • Yes I totally get this. I have always been musical, but can't sing, or play a note, LOl! Certian songs take me back to other times, some happy, some sad. A couple of songs really get me and take me back to my childhood when life was so much simpler and easier and it was all ahead of me. 

    I also find it a very personal experience that you just can not share. I love it when my wife goes out on a weekend night and I have a few beers and put on my headphones and totally loose myself. When that happns there will be tears but also  lots of happyness. My wife just thinks oh thats a nice sing along tune but for me it is massivley deeper.

  • I cannot sing in front of people. I could be singing while driving as soon as someone drives towards me I stop. The second I think anyone can see me I clam up.  
    Certain songs hold a very personal meaning and just a hint of the first notes it starts me off.
