The Song That Speaks To You

Sign in to disble this ad
You've all heard them. It's that song that everytime you listen to you can feel the emotion. It's that song where you get caught up in the moment and just for the duration of the song, you forget about all of your problems. So i want to know, what song is this for you?

Mine would have to be More Love by Victor Wooten. Probably one of my favorite bass songs. It really gets me thinking.

I have little interest in music that DOESN'T fall into that catagory. Thus, everything I listen to would qualify.

Nobody Home by Pink Floyd has always been my favorite cut from The Wall, because I find it to be the most emotional, relatable, etc. The Trial is a close second, but it's a little farther out there, and is a bit less relatable because of it. But the whole album is pretty relatable, at least for me.

Alot of songs "speak to me", but there are only a few that REALLY speak to me. These are the kind of songs that I don't like listening to when other people are around because I only like to listen to them in private.

If I had to pick just one it would undoubtedly be Black Sabbath's "Spiral Architect", it is one of the only songs that moves me to tears.

Here are a couple others;
Sabbath - You Won't Change Me/Sins Of The Father/I
Judas Priest - Beyond The Realms of Death
Iron Maiden - Infinite Dreams (I probably actually like this one as much as Spiral Architect)/Can I Play With Madness/The Evil That Men Do (Has to be listened to in order for full affect SSOASS is a masterpiece)
Savatage - When the Crowds are Gone
Deep Purple - The Battle Rages On
Motorhead - March or Die (Lemmy is really a modern day philosopher, just hear this song and read his interviews)/Don't Waste Your Time
Gamma Ray - Land Of The Free (A beautiful song about German reunification. Its just icing on the cake that kiske reunites with Kai Hansen for this track)
End theme/main theme reprise at the end of star wars episode III

Badfinger

I always thought that "Baby Blue" by Badfinger is one of the most perfectly crafted songs ever written. I don't think they ever got the credit they deserved, mostly classified as a Beatles sound alike due to their close association with them. But they wrote some great "power pop" songs.

I've got a new one..

The Rebel - Black Sabbath.. Recorded 1969, 3 months after they became "Black Sabbath" from "Earth"

Recorded only as a demo, 3 minutes long, very rare.

I have it

The guitar parts on King Crimson's Matte Kudasai have always had a certain emotional quality for me.

Echoes by Pink Floyd. It is so spacey that I swear that I leave the Earth for some minutes.

The ones that instantly came to my mind after reading the original post: The synth interlude from Rush's "YYZ" and Frank Zappa's "Watermelon In Easter Hay".

Check out Jerusalem from Stanley Clarke's "The Toys of Men". Stanley plays a Victor Bailey sig Fender ABG. Very moving tune.

There are many, but a few I always think of when this question is asked:

"The Gates of Delirium" - Yes (Relayer), especially the last movement "Soon"
"A Remark You Made" - Weather Report
"Black The Sky" - Kings X
"About To Begin" - Robin Trower
"Icarus - Borne On Wings of Steel" - Kansas
