Members p00n Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 Have you ever heard a song and instead of merely listening to it, you actually feel the music? I mean you might like the band, or their other work, but a single song reworks your entire concept of music. BAM it blows your mind and you have no idea why. You step back and have a second listen and holy {censored}, it somehow excites within you the very essence of your love for music. Your heart races as you try to wrap your mind around what about the music makes you feel this way, but realize its futile and you just sit back in wonderment as the music sweeps you off your feet. "It was the first time I heard the Beatles" For me lately its been: {censored} Buttons - Sweet Love for Planet Earth Jesu - Silver Cloudcult - Everybody Here is a Cloud Beirut - Scenic World Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats Weezer - The World Has Turned And Left Me Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members messiah Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 God, this is gonna run... It would be more interesting if it was based on songs that you shouldn't really like (Phil Collins, Whitney Houston, etc) that have the same effect! 'That' note in Machine Gun is pretty safe and cool, the sax solo in INXS's 'Never Tear Us Apart' could be more wedgy inducing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoboPimp Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 it has to be live for this feeling to take place within me. I can think of a few shows I've been to where my hair stood on end, my eyes welled with tears and I could hear a higher power talking to me through the music.

Members Zoidberg Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 I'm 20 now, and I've never given much attention to Dire Straits in my first 19 years on this earth. But I feel that was good actually, because that gave me the opportunity to "discover" Straits now. The first time I really listened to Romeo and Juliet, I got chills.. So beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Marmoset King Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 The first time i ever had that feeling from music was when i was a little kid in the late 70s and i used my mums old record player to listen to The Planets Suite by Holst. It was the only decent record they had, the rest was just pop crap and that never interested me even then.It was 'Mars, the bringer of war' that did it, i'd listen to it over and over and over. It was like being kicked in the chest, so powerful it was like nothing i'd ever heard. I didn't really have that feeling again until my teens when i was getting into metal in the early 80s. A friend taped Metallica's Ride the lightening for me and listening to 'Fight fire with fire' gave me that same thrill. The power of it almost made you dizzy. Up until that point in my metal phase i'd never heard anything as 'heavy', so absolutely skull crushingly fierce as that. These days Muse's 'Map of the problematique' works the same magic. The last track on Sigur Ros' 'untitled' album is staggering. And Amputee by Oceansize too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Lanefair Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 When I came back from a skiing trip aged 14, I was depressed as hell to be back home and I sat hunched over my classical guitar, pressed record on the dictaphone and played a song out of nowhere, I whistled on it. I found it a year ago and I was like 'did I do this?' it's nothing special but it makes me think cause I'd only been playing for a year and I was playing those weird chords that you come up with when you dont actually know what they are. Also, Johnny Cash's version of Hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted June 3, 2008 Members Share Posted June 3, 2008 Irresponsible Hate Anthem - Marlyn Manson. Maybe the best venting song ever recorded, and I'm not a big Manson fan by any stretch. The venom sounds authentic. A few of my picks: Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me and My Monkey - The BeatlesGimme Shelter - The Rolling StonesWhen The Levee Breaks / Battle of Evermore - Led ZeppelinNew Year's Day - U2Everything In It's Right Place / Weird Fishes - RadioheadCarolyn's Fingers - Cocteau TwinsThe Wait - The PretendersThe Beautiful Ones - PrinceEveryone Thinks I'm a Raincloud When I'm Not Looking - Guided By Voices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
