Music makes me emotional more than anything else. I can watch sad films or shows or read sad books and nothing, but music? Weeping for hours.
The first song that sprang to mind is a country song by Alan Jackson,
"Blue Ridge Mountain Song"
It's about a young couple that marry and buy a house and the woman dies and leaves the man alone.
He met her in the fall of '93 in the hills of Tennessee
She was barely 17, he was tall and strong and lean
They were deep in love by June
Hand in hand beneath that moon
And she'd sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
And he'd just hum along
And they'd dance all night 'til dawn
On a hillside all alone
They were young and they were free
Like a mountain melody
In love as they could be
Singing that Blue Ridge song
She married in her mama's wedding gown
Bought a house and settled down
He worked driving all around
Hauling logs from town to town
And he'd come home every night
And she'd be waiting in the front porch light
And she'd sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
And he'd just hum along
They'd dance all night till dawn
On the front porch all alone
They were young and they were free
Like a mountain melody
In love as they could be
Singing that Blue Ridge song
They couldn't tell him what was wrong
But they just didn't know
It wasn't very long 'til Jesus called her home
And he got down on his knees
Said, "God, don't take my love from me"
Just let her sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
Like she has all along
And I'll dance with her 'til dawn
On a hillside all alone
And we'll spend eternity like a mountain melody
In love as we can be
Singing that Blue Ridge song
Now he lives there all alone
In the house that they called home
In his heart there lies a void
From the absence of her voice
And he lays down every night
Dreams about that front porch light
Where she'd sing a little Blue Ridge Mountain song
He'd just hum along
They'd dance all night until dawn
On the hillside all alone
They were young and they were free
Like a mountain melody
In love as they could be
Singing that Blue Ridge song
...
It's such a beautiful song... And now I've got something in my eye...
