I don't even need words to make me blubber...

The climax of the "1812 Overture"...cannons...bells...

OMG!!!

I suppose all by itself it wouldn't work...I need the whole buildup thing and then when it gets to the end I'm a big weepy mess.

Hubby sometimes like to play this in the car with the sound turned up at the end, heavy on the bass because he knows it makes me weepy.

Like a catharsis or something...
