Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears

Geez, right from the first notes...

Yeah, I know, most people think of angular, dark progressive music when they think of King Crimson. But they have more than their share of beautiful pieces.

Here are just 2:

King Crimson - Exiles

King Crimson - Night Watch

"Epilogue" from Les Miserable does it every time and I suspect I am not alone.

"Sunrise Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof......never fails!

King Crimson is all about getting, holding then driving home a vice grip on the senses but never quite reach the point of tears with KC generally. Saw their last US performance on 9/11/2021 at The Anthem in DC (now available on CD) and it was quite an experience! Most gripping and often delving into beautiful but with a touch of irony usually. Take the tune "Epitaph". Beautiful musically but nothing beautiful about the subject material.

Tom Russel's Veteran's Day make me cry every time I play it, as does Steve Earle My Old Friend The Blues.  I would mention Isaak Lewis by Tom Russel as well. 

Another vote for The Man In Black's cover of Hurt. Doesn't get more emotional than that.
