Theres alot of different feelings, so I'm not just going for the good ones here.
A Perfect Circle - most of the Mer De Noms album, Passive, Gravity, Diary of a Madman 311 - Love Song Deftones - Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) Disturbed - Remember DJ Sammy - Sunlight, Heaven Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons, Wait For Sleep, Space-Dye Vest, Learning to Live, most of Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory album, The Silent Man, Lines In The Sand, Endless Sacrifice, Vacant / Stream of Conciousness, In The Name of God.

Godspeed You Black Emperor! - East Hastings (Easily my favorite song right now, all 18 minutes of it)
Modest Mouse - Trailer Trash Arab Strap - Who Named The Days The Mars Volta - Televators |
i felt really moved by the S&M version of One by Metallica
esp when he screams "NO NO NO NO NO" in the fast bit. |
It's got to be "This is what she's like" by Dexy's Midnight Runners
The whole song is Kevin Roland describing what his love is NOT like. "you know the kind of people who put creases in their old Levi's. The type that use expressions like tongue and cheek. The ones who parade all they're possessions and put super and fabulous after every sentence they spit out.....well she's not like that" when he does describe her it's just a series of notes emenating from his entire being (in my humble opinion - on par with any Aretha Franklin Ad Lib) A very close second would have to be Sidney Bechet "Love For Sale" the only song I know of that has brought this Grown Man to tears and made me weak at the knees. Do yourself a favour and get those songs now! P.S. "This is what she's like" has THE BEST "1.2.3.4" in music history. (Sorry Bruce) |
Smashing Pumpkins - Disarm
Rush - Tears Babyface - The Day (may be the prettiest song I've ever heard) Alan Parsons Project - Time, Don't Let It Show Elton John - Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word, Daniel, Candle In The Wind Guns & Roses - November Rain Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man Boys II Men - It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday Voices Of Theory - Say It (Heh..yeah :rolleyes:) Common feat. Lauren Hill - Retrospect For Life Black Star feat. Common - Respiration Lauren Hill - Ex Factor Blessed Union Of Souls - I Believe Eminem - Rock Bottom Binary Star - I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings Wu-Tang Clan - Impossible, A Better Tommorow Finger Eleven - Awake And Dreaming, Stay And Drown, Broken Words Silverchair - Emotion Sickness, Miss You Love (Sung that one for a variety show) Cranberries - When You're Gone Train - Blind, Hopeless Mars Ill - Loves Not Bush - Alien, Glycerine, Letting The Cables Sleep (fave bush song), 40 Miles From The Sun, Inflatable System Of A Down - Spiders 2pac - Changes, In The Event Of My Demise, What Of A Love Unspoken?, Sometimes I Cry Fuel - Innocent Goo Goo Dolls - Iris, Here Is Gone Hootie & The Blowfish - Goodbye, Let Her Cry (also sung this one for a variety show...WHAT?! :hmm: ) Ricardo Montaner - Sera Jim Croce - Time In A Bottle Bette Middler - The Rose, Wind Beneath My Wings (my moms sings that one beautifully) Actually ya know I could go on forever if I put my mind to it. Asta!! |
Smashing Pumpkins: Disarm, Mayonaise, SilverFuck
Deftones: Digital Bath, Knife Party Marilyn Manson: Coma White, Nobodies NIN:The Day The World Went Away, Hurt Tool: Stinkfist |
I can only think of one song right now.
Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven My dad dedicated this song to my brother when he left for Iraq. |
APC - 3 Libras
Asta!! |
Faith No More - The Real Thing
I listened to this song many, many times before I finally understood it. And when I did finally get it, man... I can never go back to that place now. |
K-Wise is on the right track for my generation, the early 80's born. Good Silverchair selections btw. "Anna's Song" and "I miss you love" are great. I would add "Anthem for the year 2000".
The Verve Pipe - The Freshman ^That is one I play for chics whenever I feel like being smooth. Also, Our Lady Peace - Is anybody home? |
Steve Kimock Band - Tongue N' Groove
The Beatles - Across the Universe Stevie Ray Vaughan - Lenny (guess I should throw on his version of Little Wing too) Allman Brothers - Dreams, Melissa, Liz Reed, Old Before My Time, Soulshine, plenty of others I could name too Uncle Tupelo - Still Be Around, Chickamauga, Whiskey Bottle, Lookin For a Way Out, Fall Down Easy |
Can't believe I forgot Anthem..also I can feel his anger in Spawn Again...Freshman is great started singin it at Hastings when I wanted this really hot chick next to me to talk to me..she started singin it with me n all that good shit..One of very few times I played the singing card to get a girls attention...for Our Lady Peace I like 4 A.M.

Good move pimpin, haha. I pull more of a "Well I can't really play guitar very good but..." and then just go right into it. They always seem to know the words too. Like you said, good shit. |
Yeah thats true haha they do always seem to know the words to it. Brian Vanderark musta got a lotta tail in the 90's. Song is sad as hell though when ya think about what it's really about.
Asta!! |

Stay Frosty. |
So, so many.
But the most powerful song I know would have to be Leaving Hope by Nine Inch Nails Runners up: The Day The World Went Away (Still) by NIN Showbiz by Muse Over Now by Alice In Chains Eriatarka by The Mars Volta and some really engrossing songs that I snap out of at the end and realise I've been gazing into space: Down In A Hole by Alice In Chains Pay The Man by The Offspring Echoes by Pink Floyd (really saps my spare time this one) One Of These Days by Pink Floyd Non Zero Possiblity by At The Drive In a whole bunch by NIN the whole De-Loused album by The Mars Volta yeah... so many... |

Bob Dylan - Desolation Row.
|
A Perfect Circle - Orestes
"Gotta cut away clear away Snip away and sever this Umbilical residue" |
As much as I hate to admit it, Nothing Else Matters by Metallica has always had an effect on me.
*hangs head in shame* |
OK, I've got more:
The Gathering - Saturnine Tool - Third Eye Downstage - Penniless Isis - Carry Megadeth - Tornado of souls Metallica - Nothing else matters Muse - Showbiz (the bass is just... inconceivable) Pantera - Cowboys from Hell Tool - Prison sex Paradise Lost - Year of summer Portishead - Roads Puddle of Mudd - Blurry Radiohead - Street Spirit Savatage - Summer's rain Sentenced - Bleed in my arms Sentenced - With bitterness and joy Deep Purple - Soldier of fortune Bruce Dickinson - Tears of the dragon Gary Moore - Still got the blues U2 - With or without you (get sad before listening to this) |
Guns and Roses- November Rain
Puddle of Mud-Control Enuff Z'Nuff-The Beast Queen-Who wants to live forever thats just off the top of my head Im sure more will come to me later |
Pantera - Cemetary Gates = Great song you can just sit and chill to. Not too heavy and the acoustic gives a great feel to it until it gets a bit heavier.
Type O Negative - Angel = Another great song to reflect, in addition to being a good romantic song Tristania - My Lost Lenore = What can I say, sad song but great. My Dying Bride - Cry of Mankind My Dying Bride - Sear Me III My Dying Bride - She is the Dark My Dying Bride probably make some of the saddest songs ever. |

TOOL - Pushit (the live version)
TOOL - Prison Sex Life Of Agony - Let's Pretend Life Of Agony - This Time GNR - Sweet Child O' Mine No emotional attachment, but The Melvins - Revolve. I cannot avoid banging my head when that song's played. |
Mozart - Requiem - hands down the most moving piece of music ever written.
|
Gary Jules- Mad World
|

Shoot, does it have to be a song? What moves me is Shostakovich's prelude and fugue in E minor. Tell me that doesn't move you. |
id have to agree farther up when most of the NIN catalog is moving in some way, mostly really saddening
the more prominent of the NIN have got to be , Hurt, Gave Up, The Downward Spiral (song, not whole album) Other songs i would have to Say "Metro" by System of a Down, i read the lyrics to this one without music and it nearly brought a tear to my eye. Then theres a lot of the Alice in chains Dirt album thats pretty moving, most already being mentioned earlier Jeremy, by PJ and this one may sound funny but, Iron Man the Sabbath version and the remade busta rhymes/ozzy version "This means war (Iron Man)" |
Burden In My Hand - SoundGarden
One Mic - Nas BMBBO - Trevor Rabin Knockin' On Heaven's Door - Bob Dillan (or the cover by Bon Jovi/Bruce Springsteen/Eric Clapton) What A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong Take A Picture, After The Rain - Mya I generally choose artists that I like to listen to by how much I "feel" their songs, and so there are a LOT of songs that illicit that type of response in me, but the ones listed are the big ones. |

My Dying Bride - For my fallen angel :thumbsup: |
Ben Harper - God Fearing Man
Nothing like Ben Harper jamming on his Weissenborn (lap guitar) singing about fearing god. I was tripping my ass off on some shrooms one night in college with a bunch of buddies. My friend put this song on and It just clicked something in my head. I guess Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb has the same sort of, I was really fucked up listening to it and it just made sense type of feeling even now.. |

Bad Cash Quartet - Amuse Me
The Cure - Love Song, Pictures of You Smashing Pumpkins - Believe Against Me! - Shit Stroll Modest Mouse - Edit The Sad Parts Nine Inch Nails - La Mer |

Isis.
every song sounds like planets colliding, mountains crumbling or buildings collapsing. |

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Exactly! Isis - Carry Isis - Altered Course Isis - Hym ... The list can go on. Actually the Panopticon and Oceanic CDs are masterpieces. |
im going to add another
Motorheads Overkill and a few others of theirs when loud i get all teary eyed its just so awesome. Not emotionally moving but just wow. Nativity in black the song does this for me too Sabbath or Primus version. |
james taylor - fire and rain
that has got to be the most moving song made. |
Oh God...not two days ago I was listening to U2's new album, specifically the song "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own," which is about Bono's dad who passed away. And there are a few lines that had me sobbing:
Sing, you're the reason I sing You're the reason why the opera is in me... Where are we now? I've got to let you know A house still doesn't make a home Don't leave me here alone... And it's you when I look in the mirror And it's you that makes it hard to let go Sometimes you can't make it on your own... I'm afraid every time I hear this song I cry...I usually at least tear up...I'm tearing up right now...and it's their next single. Sigh. I can't win. |

When I think of songs that I can feel, I always come up with two songs by Saves the Day; Firefly and Nightingale. Firefly because only Chris Conley could make a song about drunken sex in an alley sound so damn beautiful, and Nightingale because of the passion oozing from both the lyrics and the music. Just listening to these songs keeps me convinced that he is one of the best lyricists in modern music.
|
Keine Lust, Ohne Dich and Mein Teil by Rammstein are one of the most strongest songs I ever heard. In Mein Teil, you can actually dissolve in the song, just forget about everything around you. Dunno if it makes sense.
|
Flugufrelsarinn, Ny batteri, Hjartad hamast, Vidrar vel til loftarasa, Olsen olsen by Sigur Ros off of Agaetis byryjun...I always listen to those 5 in a row and usually by the end or middle of Olsen Olsen I'm asleep heh. The music is just so beautiful and calming. Might not make sense that a song that moves me puts me to sleep but I love to sleep to music sometimes heh.

One of my favorite songs, by The Marvelous Three. Butch Walker, the lead singer still plays it live, on the piano, even though it was a rock power anthem.
It's about the guys in the band breaking up, it was the last song they wrote, recorded and performed live together: Cigarette Lighter Love Song I know you're not asleep I can feel you moving over there You've been playing with the seam In your worn out underwear My lips are raw as hell From biting on them just to stay awake It's not like I'm gonna need them, you won't be around To see them bleed and break Chorus: All that I do, comes back to you So I'll just think about you 'til there's nothing in my head All I can do, is try not to screw this up again And just be friends, I'd rather be dead I drove out of east Atlanta With a headache the size of my car I called to say I was okay 'Cause I know how you are I'm like a movie without an ending You know I've got nowhere to go And it makes me wanna throw up To see you wanna give up More than you'll ever know Bridge: Everything's supposed to have a happy ending But the record keeps skipping and the needle keeps bending Like the road I'm driving to the bridge that has no end I wanna take back everything that I've broken But the bridges behind me are burning and smokin' I guess this is the end |
Hmmm... Phil Collins - Can't Stop Loving You
