Are there times when you here a buffett song or at a concert that you get emotional? It happens to me sometimes. It is not a bad feeling just like a life is great emotional...

today driving to work I listened to the last years vegas show. Heard "great heart" and I got teary eyed. Does this ever happen to you or am I just a big puss?

remember I am a former Division I linebacker

Well, you probably are a big puss (JK). But yes, that happens to me whenever I hear Little Miss Magic. My fiance played that song for my daughter when we first started dating and my daughter wasn't too keen on him taking so much of my time. He played that for her and it's always been their special song and because of that, they are as close as can be.

I'm no linebacker, but I am a big mush-weenie when it comes to stuff like that. I still cry during when I watch Pretty Woman and Armageddon.

"One Particular Harbor" is my song to laugh out loud at the good memories and sometimes weep because I long to be there so bad. It just evokes all these emotions from my childhood and my future. I grew up there and less than a month ago my boyfriend proposed to me at my One Particular Harbor. I've never been to see JB (I'm hoping for a Nashville date...couldn't make ATL in mid-week), but I'm sure I will be a basket case when I hear him sing it in person.

with only women responding, now I really feel like a puss I guess that's why I got all the chicks before I got married. The women love a sentamental guy

The other men just aren't manly enough to respond!

Just don't tell me that you cry when you watch Pretty Woman too! Actually, don't even tell me that you watch Pretty Woman.

my wife does and when she does I do something else. I usually control the remote so it is either football, basketball or golf unless there is a beach something on the travel channel. Or I just read....

Pretty women does not seem that romantic to me If I told you I picked up a hooker you would probably have a poor opinion of me

I'll always feel an emotional connection to "Captain and the Kid" since we had it played at my father's funeral back in '94. There's lots of others I get that kind of feeling from but "Captain and the Kid" is the first one that comes to mind.

sounds like since you're such a sentimental fella you didn't need to pick up on hookers 'cause you got all the ladies!

i wouldn't think less of you if you did, tho. to each his own man. you'd still be a puss tho!

tee hee. i'm getting really good at this emoticon thing. oh, the talents i have.

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.

So this might be a little too OT, but...

I think Buffett-men in general are more sentimental--and that's why we love you! My man is definitely not a crier, but the one time I saw him in tears was when we told his mom and step-dad we were getting married at the JB concert. His step-dad totally BASHED the idea--they're ultra Catholic and called our wedding a stunt.

We had been trying to plan the stinkin' wedding for almost a year and couldn't come up with something fabulous that really suited us (until the tour dates were released, that is).

The Captain and the Kid

When I vacation in Florida, I think of my Grandfather who bought the family a vacation home back in the 1970's. The house still belongs to my family, but sadly my Grandfathe passed away a year ago. When I walk on the beach I find myself always skipping to tha song.

This happens all the time and there are three main culprits

Ever since we almost lost my Dad in November, it has definately been Captain and The Kid.

I never wanted kids, my wife wore me down and the first time I held my little girl(s) my heart melted. "Little Miss Magic" and my oldest is very special (The Mrs got a staff infection after Carie was born and almost didn't make it)

Finally, I love my wife, but we were friends who became more. I have only had that clobbered over the head kind of love once in my life, and she got away. Twenty two years after the last time she spoke to me, I still think of her everyday (shhhhhhhhhh don't tell) Coast of Marsailles (I know somebody else wrote it) literally--depending on the amount of scotch in my system, can turn me into an absolute blubbering idiot. "Would you be remembering me, I ask that question time and again" Mrs asked me once how come I hardly ever play SOASOAS. Honey, I do, just not very often around you, or at least around you when I ahave had a few[/b]

ill chime in on this one, for some reason "brahma fear" tugs on the heartstrings for me, cant exactly pinpoint why or how, not exactly the tune or the lyrics, or an incident in my life that stuck and represented that song its just the one that gets me most


...............and whoever said that buffett fan men may tend to be a bit more sentimental i think your right, i sure tend to be.

these are the replies I had hoped I would get. Seems like there are tons of buffett songs that bring back different memories for me. I grew up out on lake michigan(not quite an ocean but close) by my self on boats since I was 12. I feel a real connection to the nautical songs because I don't get a chance to be on the lake that much anymore.

Every year at every concert when he plays "In the shelter" with my wonderful wife standing in front of me with my arms around her I always get a little tear in my eye. It just reminds me of how good I have it. This year will be really tough(we lost a baby this year). I just hope jb keeps going long enough for my son to really appreciate him...

The Captain and the Kid would have to be my most emotional JB song, as well. No matter where I am or what I'm doing when it comes on, it'll bring a tear to my eye. Like others have said, it reminds me of my Grandaddy (yes, I said "Grandaddy." I'm Southern, OK?) He was the son of a sailor, and spent a little time on the water himself as a member of the Coast Guard during WWII (patrolled the coast of Charleston looking for German U-Boats and thing like that). He died 11 years ago, and I still miss him like crazy. So that song always chokes me up.

False Echoes is the other one that get to me at times.

With me I always have "moments" with songs that you wouldn't expect. I will always remember getting a chill at Alpine in 2002 when Jimmy played OPH, when he hit the part, but then I think about the good times...! I usually have at least one of these moments at least once in a Jimmy concert. Half the time I am goofing around to much to really pay attention, and then the other half I am pretty set on the music and that is when I really start to think.

Southern Cross is always emotional since it brings back memories of Vietnam 32 years ago. Southern Cross is the shoulder patch of the unit I served with. I left some real friends in those rice paddies I think about them often.

cu, I am the same way. I lost my grandpa several years ago. He was the greatest person I had ever met. He lived in florida most of my life. He moved down there later in life I think that is why something is pulling me down that way also(I think it is in my blood). Captain and the kid is a song that it is hard to even think about the song and talk at the same time. I guess I am just a big puss. Don't let any of my players know that

Sorry to hear about your loss I have a brand new baby at home and can't imagine losing him.

thanks, it was very tough. The baby was unborn but was 28 weeks. Had a heart problem but my wife had complications we ended up back at the hospital 4 more times staying atleast one night each time. I wasn't until about two months later that it hit me. I was too worried about my wife(she is everything to me).... Glad I have a healty little boy or it would have been even tougher...
