Songs can be emotional times to a time or even one event.

Sometimes good, other times bad, but the emotion of the event lives in the music and triggers those same feelings.

Lots of my lost friends are in songs.

And "Amazing Grace" on the pipes. Bagpipes just hit me right in the feels.

This is a pic of my kids with Joe Kilna MacKenzie, one of the founders of the Scottish band “Clann An Drumma” and the composer and singer of “Sgt. MacKenzie”. He wrote the song about either his grandfather or great grandfather.

Was about 10 when that originally aired. Me and my brothers were horse playing after supper, like usual.  The last thing on my, then, mind was to stop and listen to some fat lady singing on TV. But she did stop me cold and i listened to the whole song. Afterwards, i thought: "He's a lucky man to have a gal singing that nice about him."

The gal had a good set of pipes.

This helped keep me going several years ago, when my wife was pregnant with our son.

Dr. had wanted her to have an abortion, said he probably would not live, & if by chance he did, would
be severely disabled.   God blessed us with a wonderful son. He had some health issues, but
God gave us a miracle;

Another great example!  

Are you familiar with the film The Broken Circle Breakdown?  It's a movie from Belgium where the protagonists fall in love because of their passion for American Bluegrass music.  There's more going on in the plot but the actors were actually the performers for the soundtrack.  

The Wayfaring Stranger was done in the film.  It's a great rendition of the classic American folk song and the actress sings it with such soul.

Amazing Grace always has, but there are some that get to me because they remind me of Martini Butt (late wife/Linda).

We saw Jessica Simpson in concert, and when she was singing this song, Linda was slow dancing and holding/leaning against me. Since she died, this one always gets me.

Miranda Lambert did a song about loss, and it stuck with me once I paid attention to the lyrics. I used it to set music to a bunch of pics of Linda, in 2018. (Ten year anniversary of her death).

There's quite a few other absolute supreme composers who's contributions to opera are unmatched.
Giacomo Puccini
Frideric Handel
Richard Strauss
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Gioachino Rossini
Giuseppe Verdi
Richard Wagner

On the "softer" side, these piano composers have brought tears to countless eyes.
Sergei Rachmaninoff
Francis Poulenc
Dmitri Shostakovich
Frédéric Chopin
Ludwig van Beethoven
Johannes Brahms
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Maurice Ravel
Béla Bartók
Johann Sebastian Bach

And then there's violin and viola masters in all of Universe.
Grazyna Bacewicz
Johann Sebastian Bach
Ludwig van Beethoven
Felix Mendelssohn
Johannes Brahms
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Jean Sibelius
Alban Berg
Dmitri Shostakovich
Antonio Vivaldi
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Symphonies are the ultimate form of music, sent to us by God himself.
Antonín Dvorák
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Ludwig van Beethoven
Hector Berlioz
Gustav Mahler
Johannes Brahms
Henryk Górecki
Dmitri Shostakovich
