Taking your breath away

[jchrisobrien]

I love the power of music. The rush of emotion surging through your body like a hurricane when a chorus of notes converge that causes a physical reaction in your body. It's a possession. I try to sing along and the breath leaves my body and it's all I can do not to weep.

The song that's doing it to me right now is Center of the Sun by Conjure One.

What song does that do you?

the first three that came to mind were "sweet child of mine" by GnR, "sweetest perfection" by depeche mode and "heaven coming down" by the Tea Party. there are many others.

Let Love In Part II. But if you mean in a happier way, hmm, Obsidian by Banco de Gaia is one, Spirit by Bauhaus is another.

I love you.... you even get it from some of the same songs I do. :)

I've been listening to that Conjure One album all week. The instrumental tracks tie into the mystical state I've been exploring and I feel transported.

"Make a wish," "Center of the Sun" and "Sleep" keep taking my breath away, twining themselves into me.

"Blurry" by Puddle of Mudd often affects me that way. "Crazy," by Seal. I have several anthems that just get right inside me.

I will show my complete dorky side, and my very unconventional upbringing by answering:

The Pearl Fishers Duet by Georges Bizet


close runners up are:

Die Meinacht by Brahms (I may have spelled that title wrong - it's been ages since I've actually seen it)
Exultate Jubilate by Mozart
Un Certo Non So Che by Vivaldi

Three come to mind:

A Look Into Your Heart - Wolfsheim (really, just the point after "Have you ever thought of me" when you hear a woman's voice scream in utter frustration, before "Turned around, let life go on.") Why? Reasons you might be able to guess.

Silence - Sarah McLachlan (especially, the very last line, "I am free") Why? Reasons you might be able to guess.

Wallflower - Switchblade Symphony (the line "Let me grow") Why? Reasons you might be able to guess.

"the origin of love" from hedwig and the angry inch

those songs that are about two people who were made from the same source always get me like that.
