Music is designed to tap into our emotions. It could be lyrics that resonate with you, music that you heard at some point in your life that hearing it again floods back those memories, or even a piece that so captivates you that you are swept along for the ride it is taking you on. In any case, excess of emotion often leads to us crying.
