Emotional Response to Music

Every time I here "Tomorrow" from Annie, I have a hard time not crying. I guess its because the optimistic view of tomorrow in the song is how I used to feel, until my tomorrows never got better or got worse.
 
YES, I have a weird tactile feeling response to sound, so hearing complex arrangements is almost overwhelming,
. When exposed to the emotional resonance of music combined with the way i physically feels to me. It (music) is one of the most exquisite pleasures in my life.

I find it easier to listen to Baroque music than some other types (classical and popular)
that seem to push me around/try to manipulate me emotionally. Then there are the things
that make all those shiver/zingy feelings, no particular genre or content.

Although humans speaking isn't music, I don't know any other place to say
that I have a mental file of voices that I like to hear: Carol Channing, Walter Matthau,
Eve Arden, Tiny Tim (mostly singing, though, not speaking),Woody Allen, Bea Arthur,
George Burns, Judy Holliday, Loretta Lynn (speaking, not singing)...others.

Classical music is supposed to be good for you! . Have you tried binaurials , dear? I created a playlist specifically to aid ASpergers/autistic people. All the collected videos are research from before I could get a doctors diagnosis! Do you want me to share ? I love to help! :)
 
Sometimes a song will come on that I like, and I'll dance around to it a bit, and as soon as I start to sing I'll just be in tears. Happy songs, none in particular, but just the act of singing will do it. Strange.

I understand very much where you're coming from! People always asked me of my interest i Baroque music; I simply can't explain it. I just find the genre to be so reflective and expressive of the human condition.
 
Music from the past, even theme music of the TV shows i watched in my Childhood overwhelm me. It makes me remember how much hope i had for the future in those years
