Because of the mood I am currently in, I am cycling through songs with lyrics that invoke emotional responses from me. Either excitement, sadness, or even just a reflective 'oh... damn'.
This got me thinking, I'd love to hear what songs and specifically, what particular line(s) is the emotional turning spot for you.
An example for me, in the musical Hamilton, during It's Quiet Uptown, which is a deeply emotional song as it is. But this part of the song cuts incredibly deep.
"I take the children to church on Sunday
A sign of the cross at the door
And I pray
That never used to happen before"
That last line never fails to make me slightly teary eyed. Context really does help with that one, I must admit, if you know the musical, you might agree with me how great that line is.
I also want to make a hashtag for this, trying to think of one and also see if there is one that exists already for this kind of thing.
