Everybody has a song or two like this... A song that you heard, and it just stopped you in your tracks, that you can listen to on repeat for hours and never tire of it. I'm not really talking about bass lines, more just the lyrics and the emotional power of the song: Songs that grabbed your heart and wouldn't let go. Mine are:
"Never is a Promise" by Fiona Apple
"Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap
"And So It Goes" by Billy Joel
"Untouchable Face" by Ani DiFranco
there are others, but I want to know what your songs are!
- Dave

Especially because before hearing it, Mr. Metheny was a mode-wanker to me. "Minuano" (co-written with Lyle Mays) was the one that showed me what a great composer he is. A true work of art. |

Not a religious person, but used to be. This song is very moving. It's a cover of a Leonard Cohen song (which I can't stand the original).

I think the song is so important to because I was playing it on piano at home when my grandmother called to tell me my uncle was killed in a car accident. I was 15 and real close to him but it was brutal as my cousin (his son) was 2 month old at the time.
Beyond that.....
Comfortably Numb and Wish You Were Here are great songs IMO lyrically.
A new one I really like is Bedouin Soundclash's Walls Fall Down. Great reggae groove with very cool lyrics.

Cliff Burton/Metallica - The solo he played the night he died (for a metal bassist, he had some groovin lines in his solos! When i first heard it, i knew i would be playing bass for possibly the rest of my life)
Black Sabbath - Paranoid (I first heard this song back in school, when a band jammed out to this at lunch, as i was utterly gob-smacked!)

First that comes to mind, for as long as it is, every second of it is important. There is no pointless wankery, it's a true musical adventure.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Kansas City, MO | | | A few from the past decade, off the top of my head:
"Rain", Patty Griffin
"Rise", Josh Rouse
"Love Is A Losing Game", Amy Winehouse
"Chicago" and "Casimir Pulaski Day", Sufjan Stevens (actually the whole "Illinois" album, but since this thread is about songs, I'll pick just a couple)
"Let Down", Radiohead
"No Cars Go", Arcade Fire (mostly the instrumental build at the end)
Could probably come up with a few others if I glance at my iTunes catalog.
