This is such a strange question and I swear I’m not trolling like this is genuinely a problem for me. Every time I hear the song Come On Eileen I just start to cry. Like uncontrollably start crying my eyes out. It happened a few months ago and I skipped the song, then one day my Spotify was playing in the car and it came on and I started to cry and then today I was sitting in a cafe with my friend, the song starts to play and within seconds I’m just sitting there crying. To the some come on Eileen. Why is this happening like I genuinely cannot work out why anybody would cry to come on Eileen it’s such an upbeat song I can understand a sad song but I just can’t wrap my head around this and I just don’t know where else to post this. I am genuinely losing my mind over this why of all songs does this one make me cry?????

It’s an upbeat song but it’s not exactly cheerful either:

There’s probably a painful memory associated with it that you’ve locked away. Like maybe it was playing as you received painful news of something?
Cos shes your wife and her lover should have wiped it of before he sent her home?
Music can go pretty deep. Even songs that are not directly linked to our memories, can stir up something inside.
