Last Song That Made You Feel Something (1 Viewer)

Last song that made you feel something.

There shouldn't be a whole playlist of them. I mean the ones that every single time you play it, it doesn't wear out, it's as powerful as when you first heard it and clicked to it.

Don't be a dickhead and post a song that also exclaims your music taste.

Just some song that suits the time in your life and made it so much more meaningful, or beautiful, articulated a feeling you thought no one else felt, or it struck a chord and made you feel like you needed to do something. Something important.

My last was "Big Machine" - Goo Goo Dolls. Mainly the lyrics and how they were set.

"Videotape" by Radiohead might be my next one. There's a 5 year gap between those two songs. Let's see whether I can overplay it and still be powerful to me.

Anyway, post post post.

 

[Stevo.]

Already in a vulnerable mood at the time but I'd have to say recently it'd be Aerosmith - I Don't Want To Miss A Thing.

 

[Fish Sauce]

First one I remember having any effect is Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles, just a sad song that rings true.

Miserere by The Cat Empire, even if just for the "Long live living" bit.

Pretty much anything by Paul Kelly, notably To Her Door and Everything's Turning to White.

Blow Up the Pokies by The Whitlams also gets me.

Don't know if they're really that personal, but yeah.

holy shit stef, I've been obsessing over "big machine" over the past week too!

but um "john wayne gacy jr" sung live by sufjan stevens tonight. that was so freaking intense, it was like i stopped breathing throughout the entire performance.

 

[hiphophooray123]

feeling. not necessarily a good one (anymore):

coldplay - warning sign

probably makes me 'feel' the most

also:

boyz ii men - doin just fine
blackstreet - happy song
112 - smile
coldplay - amsterdam
bloc party - SRXT
bloc party - keuzberg
bloc party - like eating glass
arctic monkeys - one who who knows

sorry i get carried away with lists when i have to put a song in a category.


all bring ultimately damaging feelings to me now though.

Ha-ha

Many use their feelings to understand songs or to "feel something" in songs. It's the other way 'round with me though. I use songs to try and understand feelings. It's sad right? (I bet you wont believe when I tell you that even when I think about the word sad in that context a list of pathetic songs was being compiled in my head.)

I've not found any songs that have made me feel something.

 

[biomic]

MBV - Sometimes and Modest Mouse - Make Everyone Happy .. I just can't get tired of either

you got john wayne? so jealous
so many for me:
to be alone with you + the transfiguration by sufjan stevens
between the bars + last call by elliott smith
tensioning - sparta
among so so many

 

[dey-tuk-re-jobz]

Blue Light - Bloc Party, would be the other primary one for me...

Yeah that's a great track.



There's a few for me:

RATM - Freedom
Bjork - Declare Independence
Placebo - Special Needs

 

[dey-tuk-re-jobz]

And yeah, Videotape for me also. It competes with Exit Music for haunting and emotional music for me though.

 

[kuroneko]

I Miss You -Blink 182. Just really calming, I dunno why.

Ps. Don't judge me!

 

[uniform]

metal heart - cat power

 

[veloc1ty]

BT - Flaming June
Radiohead - How To Disappear Completely

Opposites in mood.

 

[waysted]

Bush - glycerine

 

[Kirsty Xx]

Shayne Ward - No Promises

 

[ZEROtheHERO]

Mad world - Gary Jules.

 

[hiphophooray123]

Bush - glycerine

yeh that and 'come down' were prob the first songs in my life which made me feel something. my sister used to play bush non-stop whilst i was little

 

[jest3r]

Ben Folds Five - Brick

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

mad world - gary jules
oh and as weird as its gonna sound, blue by eiffel 65.

i normally get more into instrumental music though in terms of feeling stuff. there was this hella awesome piano solo i had on my ipod before...no idea who its by or where it came from but every time i hear it its just wow.
