Intense reactions to music

Sometimes I work up a sweat just listening to music.

i cry like a baby whenever the lyrics are touching - like Cash's Hurt

other times, when a song is very good and done by a dead singer, i cry in mourning for him/her - e.g. Bob Marley "Ride Natty Ride"

I've actually cried at "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden. It was just such perfect metal that I found it beautiful.

The songs that get me I least expect sometimes. Bruce has gotten me as well.

I mentioned about a month back, but I have trouble getting through this without getting teary

No music has ever made me cry, but moments on "Hospice" by The Antlers has given me some pretty intense feelings.

"Sylvia" in particular hit me really hard when I first heard it, because of its dynamics and especially its lyrics.

The only thing that makes me cry is art. Tears of joy.

I'm very unfamiliar with tears of anguish...

I'm all about a chord progression.
Then, about whether a singer makes me feel what he/she's feeling just by the pure emotion behind the vocals.

When those two aspects join well, I'll either choke up or punch a hole in the wall.

I really wish I knew more about music, cause I imagine there more than likely is some kind of common element in all of the songs that affect me. I know there is in some specific songs, but I couldn't tell you what it is.
