Happy sad songs

[The Gentleman Scamp]

Share your emotional music here, the ones that make you sad or happy or both and that give you goosebumps or a lump in the throat or a tear to the eye. Music that would really get the waterworks going if played against cine film footage of a loved one who passed away, or even your own life as you lay on your deathbed reflecting on all the happy memories you have.

Every time I hear it,….I get goose bumps (especially at a baseball game or even while watching a game on TeeVee). I think almost everyone feels the same way when they hear their National Anthem.

I don't - much as I like my country (Norway), I think our national anthem is a piece of sentimental piss. I actually think most anthems are pathetic - the only national anthem that I like was the old Sovjet one - I don't understand a word of it, but it was a great piece of music.

God Bless America is Not the national Anthem. The Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem

Please try not to give all the American Bashers any more ammunition willya?

The Sovjet Anthem was actually composed upon orders from Stalin something like half a century after Tchaikovsky's death, during WW2. The Sovjet republic had used the internationale, but Staln felt the republic needed its own anthem, not a song that was by then largely associated with the global communist movement, rather than the Sovjet state.

But I will admit to being rather found of much of the music and literature that came out of Russia/Sovjet over the past 200 years or so.......

Normally, I can't stand Country music. But they do have funny lyrics.

I'm not sure if, My Heart Will Go On, is a happy sad song, but it definitely makes me want to tear my ears off every time I hear it.

I always liked this one. Happy sad as in the Ghost soundtrack.
