 have you ever been in your car and a song comes over on the radio that makes you get emotional. I was driving back,from the 60th anniversary of ferrari in Beverly Hills and stairway to heaven came on. I felt goosebumps and a euphoric feeling.(no I was not high or drunk at the time) I know it sounds kind of weird but that is the way I felt at the time.

 ...although not a song like Stairway which gets overplayed and I've heard 100 times.

Something more like a Jackson Browne cut, maybe Song for Adam that doesn't get much airplay.

 I'll find myself tearing up. The highest compliment to be paid to a musical work is to bring forth an emotional response in the listener. The quality of the system is not as important as we assume.


Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.

 I recall a rainy summer night in the 50s and listening alone to a show with Celtic music with the front door open and I was choking up and couldn't stop crying. I still react that way to Celtic music some times. I think many of the British Isles folk songs are the most beautiful tunes I've ever heard.

 The fourth song of Richard Strauss' "Vier letzte Lieder" ("Four Last Songs"; Kurt Masur/Jesse Norman/Philips is the fave recording.)

The opening alone makes me tear-up and goose flesh. Jesse Norman's ethereal entrance is pure bliss.

Hell, just thinking about it right now, my eyes watered and my skin prickled.

Great music does that........ wherever you are!

 get Josienne Clarke's CDs, she from Scotland and if you like this music as much as I do, you will be smote...We here love the Celtic folk, if you have not heard the Transatlantic Sessions (16 CDs, a few DVDs) you are missing some incredible cross Atlantic collaborations by artists from both shores. All done very well by BBC.
Another great Scot singer/songwriter is Iain Morrison...

 I think I had an emotion once or twice in a car, but those would probably get me arrested in a several U.S. States and parts of Canada.

 ... Keep my cars locked and some bleach handy if you are around looking for an emotion.

 . . . as I have been meaning to get a copy of this. But is the Masur / Norman version the consensus pick? I have also read that the Schwarzkopf / Szell recording is considered very good. I don't know either of them.

 Regularly I listen to the Bible and then enjoy the silence. There seems to be so few places anymore where one can have prevailing silence that it's a real treat. I find that as I get older I value silence in an environment more, and perhaps others here do as well.

The net result is that the listening sessions are precious, beautiful moments set apart from the chores and noise of the day. I find terrific enjoyment in reading a book while listening to music in a pristine environment.

 at least he took great pains to point it out.
Until, that is, he was charged with physical abuse…

 Nothing weird about it at all. Saw World Party last year at the Crescent Ballroom - Wow. Here's a couple of videos that worked for me -

 Yes, but usually not over played to death pop songs.

Your opening line of your second sentence is precious BTW...

I would have used: "while sorting out my collection of diamonds" to set the tone, but I am so boringly obvious.

 Reminds me of a piece I read in Road & Track many decades ago about the future bemoaning "progress" where electric cars had silenced forever the music of the internal combustion engine at full song.

Maybe another older guy here would remember that piece presented as a first person narrative set in the future of someone illegally enjoying a drive in a sport car with an IC engine?
