The most powerful song

VanDerGraaf · 04-17-2012, 11:14 PM

Pink Floyd - Careful With That Axe Eugene (live-ummagumma)

because ive seen at least a dozen people freak out and jump when the scream comes in, and as roger waters said it best "the only thing important about what music is what moves you"

as for emotionally, i usually find random songs that only come up once on alternative radio to be the most powerful, and when i look them up later the feeling is lost, i dont attach myself to songs in that way

King's Crossing is the song that will always give me chills and make me tear up, and every time I listen to it I'm reminded of where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard it. Also, fun fact: I never listen to it in front of other people.

I would've chosen Elliott as well. Except A Fond Farewell would be the song that I am emotionally tied to. Otherwise, you've said exactly what I would say.

I also have A Fond Farewell tattooed on my left arm.

if you want "emotional", this is the most powerful song to me:-

it reminds me of being in love

This is my sneaky bump message because I don't want my thread to die because I like this topic a lot

DDDD

This is the most underrated song in the world in existence today ever that existed. I can't explain how it makes me feel, I just feel like so much more when I listen to this song. I don't actually think I have ever purposely skipped this song on my MP3. Ever. May not seem like a big deal, butmeh, it is.

Song is Take A Look Around by Limp Bizkit. Band sucks, apart from this and another song ('One', on the same album). The random HL that the song comes from is really the reason I like that song so much. Because the moment I watched it I fell in love with Genki Sudo, and the song reminds me of the feeling every single time. And I like the drums.

Radiohead - A Reminder / Meeting In The Aisle / Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong /Pearly / Polyethylene.

Yes I know I've picked more than one but it would be unfair to highlight just one as they were all integral to my reason.

I was going through a difficult time - I was single, everyone else was dating, weekends were meaningless and the weeks and months were merging into one long, empty void. I can't really explain in all honesty why, but, these songs carried me through it. There's such an amazing atmosphere to the songs.

The beginning of 'A Reminder' always makes me think of a futuristic train station. We hear the muted sound of what could be an announcement just as the last train leaves. I pictured a lone figure waiting to be taken to somewhere, anywhere, just not here not realising that he's too late.

'Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong' A lament for a love lost or a sonnet for one found? The first time that I truly understood the term 'tugs at your heartstrings'. Such a beautifully arranged song and highlighted Radiohead at their very, very best.

Faith No More - The Real Thing. I love the varying vocal styles in this song and think it lends real weight and meaning to it.

"It's like the pattern below the skin, you gotta reach it and pull it all in"

An almost desperate quality to his voice as if he's unable to fully explain the importance.

'Like the echoes of your childhood laughter," is almost whispered, conferring a secret that really shouldn't be.

I wish I had the skill and flair to describe the emotional effect of these songs, but sadly I don't.

No song will ever be able to do the same thing that this song did to me. I deliberately barely listen to this track because it has too much of an impact on me. Durin g the whole track I sit on my chair, barely moving, barely breathing. This song drives me to tears every time I listen to it, it's not just because of its sheer beauty but because I see this song as what I will end up like, desillusionated by life, seeing how all hopes and dreams that I ever had merely were little white lies. It's not like the movies.

Oh really? Well I like to be constructive and use spaces in the correct way.

There are quite a few actually & they're mostly TOOL songs, I am a die hard fan and every song (with the exception of a few joke songs) have touched me in some way, I can relate to them all on some level... Prison Sex was the first one for me because I'd found a connection and no longer felt alone.

Blind Melon does it for me too, the songs Walk, St. Andrews Fall, Soup & Paper Scratcher.

Alice In Chains is another one... Nutshell, Whale & Wasp, Alone & Rain When I Die.

Emotionally powerful...

...and one with a powerful chorus.
