Export thread

Post em; leave the stories here as well.

Man, this song hit me hard today. Existential crises mode activated.

There's no story to go with them. They make me cry though.

This song is getting stuck in my head at the right time was a contributing factor in not blowing my brains out when I had the chance and inclination.

Oh man, I'll probably post in this thread a few times. This is the most blatantly manipulative song I've heard.

And it completely works on me.

This pretty much explains my daily feelings:

Billy Joel - "The Downeaster Alexa"

The story it tells is quite a ballad, and I'm sure many a New Englander can relate. The video does a good job of portraying the setting and the stereotypical crusty characters, too.

Johnny Cash - "Hurt"

You knew this one was going to be in this list. Johnny Cash tears a song from Trent Reznor's grip and remakes it in his own image, turning Reznor's nihilistic lyrics about ending the present upside-down and instead making the song one of how badly Cash wants the past to return.
(this version has waaaay too many annotations, but fortunately they can be turned off)

And speaking of hurting...
Tom Smith - "A Boy and His Frog"

This song frequently wins...nay, shuts down just about every "saddest song evar" competition when it shows up. If you're 25-50 years old, enjoyed movies like The Dark Crystal or Labyrinth, know who Emmet Otter is, if you can't count to 12 without humming the tune, or without lightning crashing to your maniacal laugh once you get there...this song aches. It aches so bad that YouTube viewers have actually flagged it enough to get it age-restricted.

I'll post a few more when I can remember what they are. I know there have to be a couple more nagging at me.

Oh every fucking time

[DOUBLEPOST=1461642320,1461642176][/DOUBLEPOST]Also

This whole album reminds of an ex that I fell for pretty hard, and the breakup that completely destroyed my confidence and drive for years. This song especially still stirs things up.


This was one of two bands that basically every friend in my highschool circle loved to death, and this album was the crown jewel. We sat and watched a meteor shower with it playing one night. It reminds me of the consequences of depression getting the best of me, consequences that I still live with.


Lastly, with that same group of friends I learned the lyrics to this song, from another band we all loved. Late nights in a garage with shitty equipment, acting like we were a real band and not a bunch of goofy marching band geeks with too much free time. I still know all the words.

There's no link, because Beyonce doesn't give her music away for free online, but Lemonade hit me like a ton of bricks. The "visual album"/full length music video on HBO Saturday night was amazing, I'm glad I was able to DVR it on the free weekend. The video is on Tidal, album on iTunes now.

And of course...

MBD is great!

Now I'm going through music that I like for different reasons and realize just how extreme my musical tastes are. So here is some music that I used to play when I was running/going to the gym. Music that's good for getting pumped and hitting things! These are pretty tame really. Lyrics are NFSW for a few of them.

Hee hee first occurrence of Combichrist on the board (that I know of).
Also, didn't realize that "music which affects you" could potentially be other than the mood-crushing variety.
If that's the case, we can get some out of the way by perusing this thread of uplifting music.

[DOUBLEPOST=1461767630][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh here's another one that both the song and video are great:



Video is amazing and always reminds me of great times with friends that dull the misery of routine. Also, I miss New York.

Music that makes me happy:


Jim Croce is one of my dad's favorite artists from the 70's. He used to listen to this in the car all the time when I was young, so it reminds me of him mostly. Make me want to call him.


Gordon Lightfoot was played by my parents all the time, so like the one above, reminds me of my younger days at home. I really like this one as well.


This is the song @dill616 and I had our first dance to and we walked down the aisle together to it as well. Makes me happy all over.



As for music that makes me sad:



Because it always reminds me of North Ranger. Always.


I may have more later, but I can't see right now as I have all of the dust in my eye.

Ah takes me back to garage band days. We used to jam out to Live all the time.

Gwen Stefani's brother leaving No Doubt should have been the point where I realized they would never put out a 100% great album again. Tragic Kingdom is a glorious ska romp and nothing past it could live up to that, regardless of genre.

That reminds me. I miss the Ska craze of the 90s.

For a reason that I can't really put a finger on, Bryan Adams' "All For Love" gets me every time. It makes watching Disney's "The Three Musketeers" from 1993 starring Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, and Tim Curry a little hairy - which is unfortunate, because that's one of my favorite movies.

This song came out just after I got out of a bad relationship and basically describes her and how she treated me perfectly. I vowed to never be in that kind of relationship ever again.


Had many fun nights playing Little Big Planet Karting and we'd always run through the course that played this music last. So much fun blasting each other off the track while jamming out.


Saw Flogging Molly live, they kicked off their set with this song and when they got to the first repeat line (have blown us all to hell! "TO HELL!"), the entire crowd of ~3000 people all hit the "TO HELL!" at the same time. That was the moment I knew it was going to be an awesome show and I was not let down. Plus, that was the show where I was introduced to Frank Turner, so good night all around.

The saddest up-tempo song I have ever heard. Still gets me kinda teary sometimes.


My uncle died around the time Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American was big. This song is the one that hit me at the time and now is forever associated with him for me. I can barely listen to it now for all the hurt it brings up again.



OK, enough of being a downer. Here is the song that I play whenever I need to get myself going.


The song I listen to when I just need to hang in there and get through whatever is happening.


And when I just want to get loose and jam out, I listen to this album:

But especially this song off of it:

I'd have to go digging, but I've still got a copy of Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American pre-title change. They turned it into a self-titled after 9/11, if I remember right.

This one always hits me hard - reminds me of being a kid around my Dad. He loved listening to Don Williams when I was growing up, and he'll still put him on, now and then... course, I'm 8 hours away from him, but still...



2 for 2 in a genre I usually don't listen to, but my wife does. This one comes up on the radio now and then, and reminds me to be the example I should be for my kids.



I was at work the day my grandmother died. My mother, for some reason, had this song in her head at the time whilst she was with her in England, and called me up, in tears to sing it to her.



I've got more, but the more uplifting stuff just ain't coming to mind tonight - triple shot from the feels cannon.

Not an actual song, but possibly still of interest to anyone interested in this thread.

New Kanye West single, just played for the first time over the radio. Only heard it a couple times, but it's pretty great. From his long-rumored "Cruel Winter" project. Standout line - "I'm about to go Gucci in the Gucci Store"

I know you say he's a genius, but that was nothing more more than auto-tuned crap. i did listen to the whole thing and I'm just not impressed.

Well, he's no Eminem, no matter how much he tries to simulate it.

No, it is from the DJ. I meant that I wanna hear it without the radio bump as well as without censoring words. Considering how much rap is dependent on the flow of the words, censoring in them really annoys me.

Ditto, I can't stand the radio editing, or those stupid big boy sound effects. Reminds me of my local hiphop radio station (which is, sadly, awful) who insist on playing siren noises over all of the tracks and calling it a mix.

Initial thoughts:

The opening verse (I'm going to assume this is Quavo, as I'm not familiar with him and don't recognize the voice) is awful. Overproduced, I don't like it at all.

Kanye is being ye, which, you know, is what I expect from him. I like it, but I feel like I've heard it before, I'd like to hear something new from him. Something new that doesn't require a tidal subscription.

Big Sean and 2 Chainz have really good parts, though.

This song is about a man who the love of his life is leaving him. But for me it's about a father saying goodbye to his daughter before she gets married. I wonder how it will be for me when that time comes.

Every single time.

I was just reminded of this thread when I heard this song on the radio again today.

Back in college, there was this guy I knew... we were "friends with benefits". I don't remember when exactly it started, but after college, whenever this song would come on, it would immediately remind me of him. Maybe not the physical descriptions (he was built more like Parks & Rec- era Chris Pratt, and I'm not "a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes") and we were more...active.. during the school year, but the sentiment of the song always takes me back.

Fuck I miss that show.

I posted this on Facebook - this is an incredibly haunting song (from the Voice of Ukraine 2016):



Inna Ishchenko singing “Plyve Kacha”

Story behind the song:

"the Day of the Heavenly Hundred Heroes"
Today every Ukrainian knows the song "Пливе кача по Тисині", as it became widely known in Ukraine in 2014 during the Yevrorevolyutsiya, events that took place in Kiev. It is considered the unofficial anthem requiem for the innocent victims euromaidan activists who entered history as the "Heaven de Hundred."

Another description:

A Ukranian Folk Song Mourning The Dead of Maidan Square where 130 identified people were killed; most of them were civilian protesters in the fall and winter of 2013–2014.

Translation of the lyrics

Wow ^^^

So you find one weird song, and discover it's about a baby kidnapped by a graveyard keeper, taken to the woods, and had its skull crushed, and the song is written from the point of view of the infant.

Damn, Julio. Damn. Thanks for that. You guys are hitting my feels with this stuff.

Here's one that I listen to when down in the dumps.

Today is my father's birthday. I love him so much and it hurts me to see him grow old. So, this song is for him.

I love, love, love Daniel Johnston. I think he's and amazing song writer. And I just now somehow learned that Beck covered his song True Love Will Find You In The End. And I can't stop listening to it.

This one really speaks to my childhood/teen years growing up in a little farm town. It was the kind of place where "hick" was worn as a badge of honor - and you didn't qualify until you could flawlessly back a full-size pickup into a parking spot, buck bales of hay in the sun all day without complaining, and/or drive a tractor.



I've been watching a lot of inspirational/funny/uplifting movies lately, including Sing - which makes me tear up damn near every time at some point or another. I think Set It All Free is my favorite part right now - the world could use more angry, refuse to back down, empowerment rock right now.



I also started watching documentaries really heavily back in February/March after I realized that I'd stopped learning new things for a while, and I was having a hard time coping with it. Most of the non-politically focused ones on Netflix at the time were music documentaries, and one of the most rewatchable was Muscle Shoals - about the two recording studios down in Muscle Shoals and their effect on British rock groups, or something. The point of view kind of bounces around a lot, but it's still fun info to know. There are a lot of really iconic songs featured in the documentary, but at the end you get a look at Rick Hall at Fame Records working first with Aretha Franklin and then with Alicia Keys in "present day" (2013). Alicia's part just blew me away one day. All of my hair stood on end, massive goosebumps, teared up, the whole 9 yards. It's become my goto song when I need to remind myself that I really do have some steel in my backbone and I can stand up to my troubles.

A holiday themed one:

I've heard that one plenty of times on SiriusXM Holly over the years, but this was the first time I saw the actual lyrics.

Kinda reminds me of Greg Lake's "I Believe In Father Christmas," in a way.

Christmas Shoes:

That's one of those songs I wish I hadn't heard so often, so I could still enjoy it.
In B4 Gas or someone reposts the Patton Oswalt rebuttal.

My Grandfather passed away this morning. He was 98 years old. He had been in pain for a while now, so it is a mixed bunch of feelings I have about it right now. I was mostly ok until I saw these two pictures on Facebook:

That is Grandpa, my father, brother, and nephew. 4 generations in one picture.


Here Grandpa is with my other nephew.


Those two pictures got me kinda teary, then Pandora decided to wreck me by playing this at the same time:

At once I knew, I was not magnificent

Sorry to hear that, man.

Damn @General Specific I'm sorry. Those are some great photos though. I am glad he got to see so many generations! Also you have a very handsome father.

A much sillier offering, but this song is pretty nostalgic for me. And fun.



Also:

What a cool and interesting video.

It probably hits harder if you have your own McCracken

I had the radio on when I went to pick up Li'l Z at school yesterday. Coldplay's "Speed of Sound" comes on, and for reasons I can't full understand, I look up at the field in front of my car, and I'm hit with a huge nostalgia bomb of being in high school. There was just something about the time of day and weather and I guess the fact that it sounds like a song that would have been played in the mid-90's. I can't even explain it, but it was just a powerful deja-vu feeling it left me a little jarred.

Oh really, spambot who just joined? Reminded huh? Sure, we'll all fall for this.

I once heard Ska described as "what plays in a 13-year-old kid's head when he gets extra mozzarella sticks," and that seems pretty accurate.

"I miss my friends that I pretend I don't need
But I could have done with them this week"

That seems to sum up my life right now. Had a falling out with my friend group, the ones I used to game with every saturday and so it's been months since I've spoken with them. I don't think our friendships are done, just took a pretty serious hit and will take some time. There's so much going on in my life that I want to share with them, but can't right now. I also don't really have any other friends, so I don't really have a social life anymore.


"Damnint, I needed you this week"

I considered putting this in the Awesome Videos thread, and if this thread didn't exist, I absolutely would've.
@Dave might have already seen/heard it by now, but today was my first time.



The voiceover bits are absolutely killer, and if you don't recognize them, they're from her AGT performance some ~14 years ago.


(This was the only version I could (quickly) find that included the performance itself. The commentary starts at around the 3:20 mark. The audio is in English)
I know the official video title is "Eye Of The Untold Her," which is simultaneously a reference at her younger self and to that well-known saying about Beauty (and presumably also Talent), but she could've also titled this song, "In Your Face, Piers Morgan. Right In Your Stupid Face."
