Listen to The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra Titanic - My Heart Will Go On - Instrumental MP3 song. "After the Oscars," he predicted, "you'll stop crying.About Titanic - My Heart Will Go On - Instrumental Song With the hype of the Academy Awards in full bloom in anticipation of next Monday's presentations, the ODU professor issued a bold diagnosis: Once you hear it enough times, it loses its emotional qualities."

"As you become familiar with it, you know what to expect.

The good news for my manly ego is that this well should eventually run dry. "You can smell something and say, `That smells like Grandma's kitchen.' And even though it's been 25 years since you've been there, all these feelings and emotions come pouring out." "Music stimulates some of the same areas of the brain as odors," Scerbo pointed out. But for now, we'll limit the discussion to the psychology of music. Given the quality of my voice, I'm pretty sure a few bars of anything I sing would make him cry. So if you want to reduce me to tears, give me a few bars of `Danny Boy.' " "I haven't seen `Titanic' or heard the song," Lipscomb said. Probably what's working here is some blend of mind and body in which my individual emotional experiences combine with a fundamental physical reaction. In that sense, I might cry when I hear the Titanic song the same way I would squint when looking into a bright light. Most people who hear it come away with the same feeling." It has free-flowing melodies placed on top of this staccato beat. "There's a famous saying: I am the music, while the music lasts."Īdded Scerbo: "Ravel's `Bolero' is considered one of the great lovers' songs. "We may cry from music quite by fluke in that the musician turned out to be creating sounds that the body encoded on the same templates as it encodes emotions," Lipscomb explained. Lipscomb assured me that this could be nothing more than my nervous system recording the patterns of the music in the same places it records certain emotions. There's a woodwind instrument playing in the song that seems to set me off.

But I've pondered the prospect without music and never wept. Sometimes, I think what it would be like if I could never see my wife again. Makes sense, except I don't always think about the same thing. If it's an association of loss, that would be a reason you would cry." "It really depends on the associations you make with this song. "There's nothing very profound psychologically about this," Watson said of my tears. And Scerbo is a psychology professor at Old Dominion University. Watson's a psychology professor at the College of William and Mary. Lipscomb chairs the psychology department at Virginia Wesleyan College. You can imagine my relief when I got hold of Barry Lipscomb, Neill Watson and Mark Scerbo.
