[Antithesis]

I'm usually not very emotional, but this song had me in floods. How do the rest of you react? It's one of the saddest things I've heard.

I react...by not listening to it. :laughing:

 

[Drewbie]

See, if you tell me it may make me cry my reaction is to ward off any emotions with about 3 walls of apathy before I even decide whether or not to listen to it. :tongue:

Why would I intentionally listen to something sad? You should have tricked us into listening to it, by telling us it was a happy song. Or at least a funny one.

My first reaction to even hearing that it might make me cry was "Kill it with FIRE!!!"

Hehe, no kidding. Crying is fucking horrible. I put it in the same category as puking and having seizures.

 

[GiGi]

It has some said content but the voice of the guy singing doesn't inspire tears. He makes me think he's being disingenuous.

 

[cbelle]

I will listen as soon as
I get a chance to
all by myself.

I don't usually share tears.

Are you sure you're not an INFP?

[Edit] It's the avatar, I swear. ISTP's seem to have a bad habit of picking off center avatars.

Its part of artistic theory that off center photos are more interesting and easy to relate to. We just pick up on that naturally I guess.

 

[cbelle]

I think Antithesis is an ISTP.

Cancer is sad, but the song isn't (to me). Plus, if I were to tear up at something cancer-related, it'd be because I was thinking of my mom or my aunt specifically.

BTW that Oscar the Grouch/Johnny Cash vid was awesome. I think ISTPs (or maybe just me) are best envisioned as a combination of Oscar and Cookie Monster. ("GTFO, but leave the cookies.")

:crazy:

I totally concur with this statement!

The singer doesn't sound very sad himself... He sounds a bit like he's belting out a tune after having a few drinks.

He keeps saying 'the hardest part of this is leaving you' but that's the most you hear about his feelings. He refuses to kiss anyone. Almost all the other words make it seem like he's concentrating on his appearance and his funeral. There's only one line about things he'll miss out on - marrying. I get it that he is in an unfortunate situation, but it doesn't really make me sad. No tears here.

To make the song sadder I'd get into the details of things we'd do together that we'd never do now or the impact my appearance has on me. Just stating the facts that your appearance has changed doesn't really mean much. It'll be better to say how you really feel about it. /closet feeler

Now, I thought this song about cancer was pretty sad when I first heard it but it was the video that made me tear up a bit.

Ok. I had a tear or two. Thanks for nothing. :laughing:
It wasn't too much her having cancer that moved me though - I mainly thought it was so sweet how the guy shaved his head for her.
Maybe it was the images and the lack of a drumbeat in the song that made it more 'emotional'. The other song just had white words on a black background.

 

[Galldune]

Ack his voice is horrid I stopped listening like 30secs into it...no tears from this guy...*shrug* not to be mean or hateful...but..
Stuff like death and possible death doesn't bug me....especially sense either someone around me is knocking on heavens door or death is on my back all the time...
*shrug* people die every day *shrug* no use crying over it wont help them any....

donate to research or become a medical professional/researcher...don't cry..

 

[Allium]

No tears and I REALLY don't like his voice.

 

[Ivar]

Gotta stop taking these things as challenges...
Didn't tear up at all.
