Yes, I will cry every time I hear the following songs. It's because it reminds me of people I lost, or of really rough times in my life.

Heal Over by K.T. Tunstall

Wild World by Cat Stevens

Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel

Never Too Late by Three Days Grace

Ave Maria by Maria Callas

I don't waste my emotions on non sentient things in life. I save them for the living.

I may like some songs and quotes but I never get emotionally attached to them. Many have meaning to me but that's it. I save my emotions for truly important people and things in life. That's where your emotions belong.

It depends how we define the "emotional attachment" I almost attached to all Linkin Park songs, specially, In the end, Crawling, Numb & By myself, they give me energy & motivate me & help me a lot, the same with some quotes, I read a cycle of quotes everyday & I start my day with them so by them i keep being motivated & makes me to not lose myself & my path. 

They help me to remind myself my principles & how i need to behave. & there's some songs that brings me some particular memories so i have a special attachment to them as well.

I don't know if all that counts as emotional attachment!

It's mainly opening lines to songs that fit in to a given situation. And since one can't help what floats into one's mind  I don't take their  signals too seriously. Those that come to mind are:

This Nearly Was Mine from South Pacific
Climb Every Mountain, Sound of Music
Cool, West Side Story,

Music is so important!
