I'm a man...and I've cried over music.

Honestly, I'm anything but a macho guy. I'll blast All Girl Summer Fun Band with my windows down driving through traffic, no problem. I can't stand stuff like "bromance" and people that try to fit the term "guys guy."
But fuuuuck crying over some music. Seriously. Fuck crying at all, I just don't understand it.
 
bahahaha thats alright
my boyfriend almost cried when we were listening to 'hurt' by NIN.... he was completely faded though hahah
 
I cant help but tear up when listening to Asleep by the Smiths, it's just so depressing and that's saying something for a Smiths song. Also Visions of Johanna by Bob Dylan not because its sad but because its so lyrically beautiful.
 
Outside of deaths to loved ones, I haven't cried in probably 7 or 8 years. I just don't cry, and that's not to say that I don't find things sad, or moving. I am just never reduced to tears; it's just how I am.
 
Not anymore. I find it hard to imagine any music would have that kind of effect on me now but to say it never has would be a lie. In the past (during school years mostly) music has proven quite theraputic for me in a way that I could use it to deal with things going on around me. I could use it to make me feel an absolute million times worse to come through the other side feeling better, if that makes any sense.

In a way I have never understood that because not even my grandad's funeral got that reaction from me around the same time but music for some reason could.

I havent been able to do that, or maybe just havent had any need to do that for a long time now. Music doesnt seem to hit me that way anymore.
 
Ben by Michael Jackson makes me cry. Easily.


I had a pet rat. He died in 2001 so this made me think of him but I also cry because it makes me think of my cat that died two weeks ago. She was my best friend. I miss her so much.
 
Off the top my head:
"You Never Know" of Revolutionary Vol. 2 (2004) by Immortal Technique
"Pathetique Sonata" by Beethoven
"Earth Heals Herself" of Population Override (2004) by Buckethead
"Medicine Wheel" of Alaska (2005) by Between the Buried and Me
 
the song Poles Apart by pink floyd gets me sometimes so I try to stay away from it. In fact I quit the floyd a couple of years back cold turkey. I still listen to them when they come on the radio though.
 
me too, but after listening to the whole album...

and also "Everybody Here Wants You" by Jeff Buckley when I listen to it while I'm driving
 
Real men do cry. I did when listening to John Martyn when he died a few weeks back. When people mention crying they imagine bawling and snotty noses etc. Just a single tear down the cheek should tell you more about a man than a thousand books. It's not like it's everyday RAB.

Anyone fancies calling me a pussy to my face you are more than welcome :D
 
I can't cry.
Correction: I don't cry. It's not my choice, but I don't. I've tried forcing myself to cry and my eyes get wet and my face gets red but nothing flows down.

I'm not meant for the movies.

Also, I heard that crying is for pussies, and this thread deals with crying so I thought there would be pussies... but there are non. Where are the pussies?

I don't think a song has ever made me cry but there are a handful that usually choke me up a bit when I hear them. "Return of the Prodigal Daughter" by Michelle Shocked is one. "Heart of the Appaloosa" by Fred Small is another.
