Anatomy of a Tear-Jerker: Very cool article on why songs give you chills

IainB:
Thanks for that mouser. Very interesting.

Fred Nerd:

See if this one gets you -- Our Town by Iris Dement.  It definitely does me.  I think her voice is doing that thing the essay talks about:

+1 Iris Dement.

Edvard:
Could the same be said of "inspirational" music?
Like some of the old-time hymns, modern "epic" soundtrack tunes, northern European power metal, Greensleeves fer pete's sake...

Hmmm... maybe this explains why, even as a die-hard metal fan, I get bored with much of it unless it has a good melody (vocal or instrumental) somewhere in the midst of all the chaos; I said a good melody.

Good article, could use a few more details, but thought-provoking.
