Well, what a pathetic question!
I am myself no one that likes those inflational, artifcial and superficial vomiting of emotion really everywhere in todays music or casting shows on TV which is absolutely predictable and obviously all about financial commerce.
The same thing with pop or classical-pop.
"Did you hear 'River flows in you'?", my pupils ask me, "it brings me to tears everytime I am listening to it, the best music on earth"...
I have to admit, I am really struggeling at such moments.
Another example is Cohen's "Hallelujah", one of the most overvalued songs in my opinion ever since the priest sang it on a marriage ceremony, went viral on youtube, facebook, etc.
Well, I don't want to bother those who listen to that and like it, it is no bad song (while "River flows in you" in my opinion is pure shit musically), but have you experienced the rich world of classical music? With classical music I don't mean Yiruma, THAT'S NO CLASSICAL MUSIC, IT IS A FOUR CHORD POP SONG WITH A TRIVIAL MELODY POORLY PLAYED ON THE PIANO!
My pupils who never played any note on a piano in their whole life play this one after barely a half year of playing. At this state they are even not able to play a two voiced piece of the book for Anna-Magdalena-Bach, just to give you the relation, because it is fact, that many people tell me (with most conviction) that Yiruma must be the best piano player on earth! NO JOKE!
This makes me cry!
But I don't want to stay with those superficial examples of unsustainable emotional drain.
I want to give you an example of music that brings me to tears on some rare moments. I think if every TV Music Show and every second pop-ballad brings someone to tears it can't be very meaningful. I think true meaningful and emotional moments within music or arts are something that has to be quite rare otherwise it would not make any sense, like with money inflation. If there is too much around it looses it's worth (some may say "hey just the same with steem", but that brings us off-topic).
So without further beating around the bush here is some music example that touches my heart and perhaps so it does to yours. Just the beginning of the the third movement from Mahlers fourth symphony.
Those things somehow just had to be said and why not post them here on steemit. I really would love to read your opinion or even some music-example that has emotional meaning to you in the comments.
