What sonic qualities connects to you deeply and emotionally?


What type of sonics connect you deeply into an emotional level? Melody, lyrics, a specific instrument, a voice....?

For me, I love the sound of high pitch sounds like bells. I can easily get emotionally lost in violin playing in the uppermost registers.  I also love the sound of oboes.

the warm embrace of early/mid-70s synth from Stevie Wonder's run of four magical albums: Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Innervisions, Fulfillingness First Finale and Songs In the Key of Life. 

Joni's voice, Zappa guitar solos, the part in "If I Fell" where Paul's voice cracks, the entirey of Zep's "Ten Years Gone", etc. If I had to pick one lyric, the line from Floyd's "Time" gets me every, erm, time: 

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

devastating.
