anybody know of any light, calmer (generally), songs by normally heavy bands? the heavier the band that does the light song, the more poignant the song usually is.
First thing that comes to mind for me is all of glassjaw's lighter songs. in no order, they are:
must've run all day
her middle name was boom
convectuoso (unreleased)
the number no good things could come of/st. alex (also unreleased)
everything you ever wanted to know about silence
trailer park jesus
THE HIDDEN TRACK ON THE ALBUM "EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT SILENCE," AFTER THE SONG "MOTEL OF THE WHITE LOCUST"
The reason that last one is marked especially is because that is one of the most moving, beautiful songs i've ever heard, and is added to by the fact that many more of the bands songs are harsh, violent, and mostly hateful (not in a bad way though
). It's an entirely vocal-piano number and it's just utterly heartbreaking... I suggest you all listen to it, people who like any genre of music can generally appreciate this song.
So can anyone else think of particularly light and poignant tracks by normally heavy bands? I'd love to hear some response, I love tracks like this.
