buffett songs/emotional

There are several songs that get me into that poor sappy mood. False echoes of course is a good example of that. Southern cross makes me smile so much that I tear up, as well as Great Heart. One particular Harbor used to do this but since I am moving there soon it doesn't affect me as much. You call it joggin makes me tear up because it reminds me of my many mistakes/failures in life. The ex-wife did that song to me, so the song really kind of put a comical spin on the whole thing.
On another note of songs in general that get me going would have to be "Amazing Grace" and the national anthem. These are both very emotional for me.

I hope this makes me a puss to so cabin fever isn't alone out there

Cabinfever, you aren't alone in this type of experience, my wife and I also had a miscarriage last year

. I also agree if it weren't for our other two beautiful girls

that loss would have been much harder than it was. We believe that all things happen for a reason. Sometimes we know the reason and other times we don't.

If The Phone Doesn't Ring It's ME ...........there is a song that anybody who has lost love and will not ever hear from them again ...WILL RELATE TO ...I have and that song WILL BE VERY VERY TOUGH TO HEAR ...if it stays in the set list by Indy in July ...I know she will be at the tuesday show ...and to look out there in the lawn knowing she is lost in thought to OUR PAST ...my only hope is that in between those 24,000 the belief that one song Jimmy does can bring matching tears to two people living seperate lives that both know were meant to be together

And I have to add SOUVIERS ....that song also get a tear or two if you want it too

"Pacing the Cage" makes me a little teary...don't ask me why, there's just something about the song

Take anothe road...

I was a HUGE Dale Earnhardt fan. I became a Buffett PHan shortly befor he died in Daytona. During the Charlotte concert, just days after his death, Jimmy Buffett dedicated the concert to Dale's memory. And when the memorial was aired on TV, the host mentioned Dale's many musical interest. Jimmy buffett was mentioned, and "Take another road", was played as the cameras panned around the church and the people entering in. I have since gotten over his passing, but the song is special to me. So I have a new hero/god to replace a fallen one.

Tears of joy have run down my face on many an occasion while listening to JB. Most often at a show, but more recently, while I danced with my four month old daughter last Saturday morning to "That's What Living is To Me," which I hadn't heard in a long, long time.

The only time I've ever shed a tear in sadness was after the first time I listened to "He Went To Paris."

Great thread.

My "special moments" at a show are:

Southern Cross
Lovely Cruise
Pacing the Cage
Jolly Man Sing
Tonight I Just Need My Guitar

He doesn't do Creola at shows much anymore, but that one makes me pheel all mushy inside.

Coast of Marseilles and California Promises also make me very nostalgic.

I can't listen to The Captain and The Kid anymore . . . not since my grandfather died.

He went to paris is always good for a tear

Coco Tel is always good for what my lil sis says is a loopy grin
also Who's the Blonde stranger is always good for a smile
and BTW I cried when I watched Forest Gump the first time
so yes a good movie will do it too.

CF - I feel so desperately for you in your loss - we lost a little boy 24 years ago now - born at 4 weeks prem - no diaphragm and that caused heaps of problems - he was born alive but there was no hope and we had to have the respirator turned off. It took me over 20 years to finally sort my head out so that it still hurts but no longer tears me apart every time I think about him. We all think we should just get on with life - but we need to grieve properly as well.
We now have a beautiful granddaughter from our other son - she is 12 weeks old and the light of my life - and I can now hold a baby without weeping!!

By the way - my two most emotional songs are "He went to Paris" (always get misty!!) and"Captain and the Kid".

BTW - You guys who can show emotion are the sexiest!!!!

I'll back you up cabinfever. Emotional songs on the warm fuzzy side for me would be 'Little Miss Magic' and 'Delaney Talks to Statues'.

And I feel the same as BuffettBride about the ending of Armageddon.

Thats right I said it, I am man and I cry. But you know what else I experience most emotions to extreme and my wife wouldn't change a thing about me.

Well you are a redwing fan

Kudos to you and CF for admitting emotion!!!

Captain and the Kid and Pacing the Cage

CF - I'm so sorry for your loss

But your relationship with your wife sounds awesome!!!

The song that ALWAYS gets me is Survive.........that song reminds me of the last PH meeting we went to in Florida before moving to Colorado.....I was with my bestest buddy and I knew we weren't going to see each other for quite awhile........

"That's What Living is to Me" always tugs at my heart strings along with "Prince of Tides". I also get emotional during "Come Monday" when I see it performed live. Any day, any emotion, a Buffett song will help you relate.

beyond the party at the concerts and all the great memories that buffett songs bring up. I think the emotional attachment we all have to the songs is what brings us back every year. I also think that is what keep jb going. He has made more money than anyone in his family for the next 100 years could spend. I think and I hope WE are why he continues to tour. He knows how much joy he has brought to all of us over the years. I hope he keeps doing it until they have to wheel him off the stage.

One of the sadest days of my life was when Paul "Bear" Bryant died. I was 11 and living in michigan.(too long of a story to explain the connection) I did not talk to my parents for two weeks because they did not take me to the funeral. My point is that there are very few people that come along in the world and make a difference in the lives of people they have never meet and jb is one of them.....
