Music That Hurts

[naomi24]

I’ve what I think is described as an ear worm - a tune running constantly through my mind. It’s the theme from
the 1971 film of Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre starring Susannah York and George C Scott. Magnificent stuff made all the more magnificent by the beautiful and powerfully haunting orchestral piece from the genius of John Williams. Does anyone know what I mean when I say so emotional is this piece of music that it actually physically hurts me?

I asked my husband if music ever physically hurts him. He said he finds Ed Sheeran painful. Smartass! :o)

You think you've got a problem - try having the Ocado advert music in there. Ouch!

Naomi... when you asked your husband
He said he finds Ed Sheeran painful
I like him... your husband that is.

I have checked 3 of my favourite film themes naomi and I will settle for John Barry. This one is totally enveloping, hopeful, soaring, romantic and a beautifully maintained piece. Typically Barry, it even starts to suggest Bond music.

that's an ear worm all right. You don't have to like or dislike the music, it's just that it's so hard to dislodge.

Vangelis. Blade Runner.

Yeoma
Do i detect a bit of 'you only live twice ' in there ?

[smurfchops]

Or Teddy Bears Picnic. Driving me mad.

[Yeoma]

jno? Must have been recorded on a wax disc then.

This...Brahms Piano trio no.1
Just the first few notes...my eyes hurt and my heart aches and I feel the emotion of it very intensely. Still the same over 40+ years hearing it.

[jno]

good one, Yeoma :-)

This is one that makes me nostalgic for a place I have not been at a time before I was born. (Long time ago)

Try again ... This is one that makes me nostalgic for a place I have not been at a time before I was born. (Long time ago)

[Yeoma]

Togo, that always reminds me of Benny Hills' sketch where he was dressed all in white and danced balletically holding a huge white ball in a garden of sculptured figures. That, once seen, is a vision impossible to separate from the music.

[naomi24]

Pasta,precisely. My heart hurts.

[andy-hughes]

Gordon Lightfoot singing 'If You Could Read My Mind' hurts me every time I hear it.

I have had to pull over in the car before now, unable to see safely where I am going.

John Peel was always similarly incapacitated when he heard 'Teenage Kicks' on his car stereo.

[Gromit]

One of the great movie themes…

[Gromit]

Not really beautiful like your example (though it is very beautiful) one of my favourite movie themes is ‘Conquest of Fire’. Very very stirring stuff.

[piggynose]

this gets me every time i hear it!!

Oh Smurfchops, most of last week I had Teddy Bear Picnic stuck in my head. It didn't cause pain but it was so frustrating. This week it's You're So Vain! Even more annoying because I don't know all the words.
