Music that hits you like a ton of bricks?
Advertisements [?]
I recently found a tape I'd made myself, using CDs from the radio studio where I worked. The tape is thirteen years old (made on Valentine's Day, interestingly). This morning, alone in my car, I decided to pop it in and listen to some songs I hadn't thought of in years.

The second song on the first side was "Runaway Train" by Rosanne Cash. I know I haven't heard that song in a dozen years.

Suddenly, only seconds into the song, I was surprised to find my eyes welling up with tears, and then they were spilling over for real. I can't even put my finger on any specific sad memory I associate with the song, though there must be one somewhere in my subconscious - it was just that powerful.

Are there any songs that do that to you, for reasons you can't articulate?
