OK... There is some song that are so good (for us at least...) that we almost feel the need to make everyone we know to listen to it... the people who really love music know what i am talking about, so i decide to make a post of these songs, to comment about them and hear other people's, but don't get me wrong, the idea is not make a "your favorite song" topic.. some song we like just because we do, nothing special with them... i mean this is for the really epic songs... I've been Preparing this since a while, so please hear some, even if you think/know its not going to like it... maybe you got a surprise Im going to start and see if at least i got one reply... (music topic lives less than a dragonfly... and worst that this place a lot less populated than before) 1: "Time" by Pink Floyd (Epic level 10) Info: From the Masterpiece Album "Dark Side Of the Moon" Comment: This Song is a very Hard song... i mean, it can literally bring you to your knees and tears when you got it, especially if you are over 20s, i can say that it change my life forever, I hope that it can be used as an advise for the younger people... Note: The intro can be boring for some inpatient people, you can move Forward to about 1:50 if you cant wait. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYiahoYfPGkLyrics Only:
Ticking away the moments That make up a dull day.... Fritter and waste the hours In an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground In your home town, Waiting for someone or something To show you the way...
Tired of lying in the sunshine Staying home to watch the rain, You are young and life is long, And there is time to kill today
And then one day you find... Ten years have got behind you, No one told you when to run... You missed the starting gun!
(Solo)
And you run and you run To catch up with the sun But it's sinking!
Racing around, To come up behind you again!
The sun is the same In a relative way But you're older...
Shorter of breath, And one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter Never seem to find the time...
Plans that either come to naught, Or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation Is the English way
The time is gone The song is over... Thought I'd something more to say
(Breathe reprise)
Home, Home again... I like to be here When I can
When I come home Cold and tired, It's good to warm my bones Beside the fire
Far away Across the field Tolling on the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spell...
2: "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd (Epic level 10) Info: Live, extract from the PULSE cd/dvd, Performed on 1994 Comment: One of the best songs, and best live performances ever, the video is amazing... yet i've only seen it 2 times, i cant stop myself to lean back and close my eyes... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJZYG5qwHHILyrics Only ...Even when the really Epic is the live show and not the lyrics
Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me Is there anyone at home?
Come on, now I hear you're feeling down Well I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again
Relax I'll need some information first Just the basic facts Can you show me where it hurts?
"There is no pain you are receding A distant ship's smoke on the horizon You are the only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain you would not understand This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb
I have become comfortably numb"
(Guitar solo)
Okay Just a little pinprick There'll be no more (OOoooh!) But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up? I do believe it's working good That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go
"There is no pain you are receding A distant ship's smoke on the horizon You are the only coming through in waves Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown the dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb"
(5 minutes long Classic rock Guitar solo)
3: "Love Song" by The Cure (Epic level 5) Comment: This is a song that everyone should know... there is plenty of covers (that are actually better IMO) but i post the original for respect.... BTW Emos did not exist when that song was released 1988 LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PZcgi4c5XQLyrics Only
Whenever I'm alone with you You make me feel like I am home again Whenever I'm alone with you You make me feel like I am whole again Whenever I'm alone with you You make me feel like I am young again Whenever I'm alone with you You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away I will always love you However long I stay I will always love you Whatever words I say I will always love you I will always love you
Whenever I'm alone with you You make me feel like I am free again Whenever I'm alone with you You make me feel like I am clean again
However far away I will always love you However long I stay I will always love you Whatever words I say I will always love you I will always love you
4: "Civil War" by Guns and Roses (Epic level 8 ) Comment: I personally Don't like GnR at all, but this songs really deserve to be heard, "I don't need you civil war, it feeds the rich while it bury the poor" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1fHxPY3TJoLyrics Only
"What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So, you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men."
Look at your young men fighting Look at your women crying Look at your young men dying The way they've always done before
Look at the hate we're breeding Look at the fear we're feeding Look at the lives we're leading The way we've always done before
My hands are tied! The billions shift from side to side And the wars go on with brainwashed pride For the love of God and our human rights And all these things are swept aside By bloody hands, time can't deny And are washed away by your genocide And history hides the lies of our civil wars!
Did you wear a black armband When they shot the man Who said "Peace could last forever"? And in my first memories They shot Kennedy I went numb when I learned to see. So I never fell for Vietnam We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all That you can't trust freedom When it's not in your hands When everybody's fightin' For their promised land
And... I don't need your civil war! It feeds the rich while it buries the poor! You're power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war!!
Look at the shoes you're filling Look at the blood we're spilling Look at the world we're killing The way we've always done before
Look in the doubt we've wallowed Look at the leaders we've followed Look at the lies we've swallowed And I don't want to hear no more...
My hands are tied! For all I've seen has changed my mind But still the wars go on as the years go by With no love of God or human rights, 'Cause all these dreams are swept aside By bloody hands of the hypnotized Who carry the cross of homicide And history bears the scars of our civil wars!!
We practice selective annihilation Of mayors and government officials For example to create a vacuum Then we fill that vacuum As popular war advances Peace is closer
I don't need your civil war!! It feeds the rich while it buries the poor You're power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh
And I don't need your civil war! I don't need your civil war! I don't need your civil war!
You're power hungry sellin' soldiers In a human grocery store Ain't that fresh I don't need your civil war I don't need one more war
I don't need one more war!!!!
...What's so civil 'bout war anyway
5: "Paschendale" by Iron Maiden (Epic level 10) Info: From the CD "Dance of the Death" from 2003, this Song is Based on a Real Story, "The Battle of Paschendale" During the World War, let a dead soldier tell you about his last days. Comment: Movies, games and other stuff make the people that War is a good, or normal thing, never thought about what it is actually stand on a battlefield, there is and old quote that says something like "Show a man War and he will hate it"( i don't really remembered) About The Battle of Paschendale, As far as I know "the battlefield was filled with mud because the heavy rains and the heavy artillery got stuck, so the english army send all the soldiers on foot to run straight to the Nazi army resulting on a Massacre, that later they try to cover up... I may be wrong or not know the facts right but its something like that, google it if want more info NOTE: this song DOES NOT encourage war, support it or glorified on ANY WAY. it may never says that war is bad, but.. you got the idea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67_FA2AD19MLyrics Only:
In a foreign field he lay, lonely soldier unknown grave... On his dying words he prays, tell the world of Paschendale...
Relive all that he's been through, last communion of his soul, Rust your bullets with his tears. Let me tell you 'bout his years
Laying low in a blood filled trench, killing time 'til my very own death On my face I can feel the falling rain, never see my friends again,
In the smoke in the mud and lead, smell the fear and the feeling of dread Soon be time to go over the wall, rapid fire and the end of us all...
Whistles, shouts and more gun fire, lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire, Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb, be reunited with my dead friends soon...
Many soldiers eighteen years, drown in mud no more tears, Surely a war no-one can win, killing time about to begin...
Home... far away, from the war, a chance to live again Home... far away, but the war, no chance to live again
The bodies of ours and our foes, the sea of death it overflows! In no man's land God only knows, into jaws of death we go!!
Crucified as if on a cross, allied troops they mourn their loss, German war propaganda machine, such before has never been seen... Swear I heard the angels cry, pray to god no more will die, So that people know the truth, tell the tale of Paschendale...
(guitar solo)
Cruelty has a human heart, everyman does play his part Terror of the men we kill, the human heart is hungry still...
I stand my ground for the very last time, gun is ready as I stand in line Nervous wait for the whistle to blow, rush of blood and over we go!!!!
(Main Guitar Solo Part: A)
Blood is falling like the rain!!!, its crimson cloak unveils again... The sound of guns can't hide their shame, and so we die on Paschendale!!!
(Main Guitar Solo Part: B)
Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire, running straight at cannon fire.. Running blind as I hold my breath, say a prayer symphony of death...
As we charge the enemy lines, a burst of fire and we go down.. I choke a cry but no-one hears, Feel the blood go down my throat...
Home... far away, from the war, a chance to live again Home... far away, but the war, no chance to live again
Home... far away, from the war, a chance to live again! Home... far away, but the war, no chance to live again!
....See my spirit on the wind, across the lines beyond the hill Friend and foe will meet again, those who died at Paschendale...
And don't get Fooled by Eddy (the zombie mascot) or some TV evangelist, IM is for far a NON offensive band nor satanic or anything like that, actually a lot of songs have positive messages, there is a lot of songs about historic things like wars and stuff.... and yeah they have probably have one or two dark song, but they are playing since 1980.... 6: "Mama I'm coming home" by Ozzy Osbourne (Epic level 7) Comment: A song about the love of the sons for the mother no matter what... a soft and kinda sweet song for someone who was considered the anti-christ on the 70-80s... well something like a vintage Marilyn Manson... oh wait... MM sux, so i guess that the vintage MM should be... Alice Cooper? LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rSBgfXoIPoLyrics Only:
Times have changed and times are strange Here I come but I ain't the same Mama, I'm comin home... Times go by, seems to be You could have been a better friend to me Mama, I'm comin home...
You took me in and you drove me out Yeah, you had me hypnotized, yeah Lost and found and turned around By the fire in your eyes
You made me cry, you told me lies But I can't stand to say goodbye Mama, I'm comin home... I could be right, I could be wrong It hurts so bad it's been so long Mama, I'm comin home...
Selfish love yeah we're both alone The ride before the fall, yeah But I'm gonna take this heart of stone I just got to have it all
I've seen your face a hundred times Everyday we've been apart I don't care about the sunshine, yeah 'Cause mama, mama, I'm comin home I'm comin home I'm comin home
You took me in and you drove me out Yeah, you had me hypnotized, yeah Lost and found an turned around By the fire in your eyes
I've seen your face a thousand times Everyday we've been apart I don't care about the sunshine, yeah 'Cause mama, mama, I'm comin home I'm comin home I'm comin home
7: "Crash and Burn" by Savage Garden (Epic level 5) Comment: one of the best songs when you feel down and alone... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAHzrtckTCELyrics Only
When you feel all alone And the world has turned it's back on you Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you It's hard to find relieve and people can be so cold When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore
Let me be the one you call If you jump I'll break your fall Lift you up and fly away with you into the night If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart If you need to crash then crash and burn You're not alone
When you feel all alone And a loyal friend is hard to find You're caught in a one way street With the monsters in your head When hopes and dreams are far away and You feel like you can't face they day
Let me be the one you call If you jump I'll break your fall Lift you up and fly away with you into the night If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart If you need to crash then crash and burn You're not alone
Because there has always been heartache and pain And when it's over you'll breathe again You'll breath again
When you feel all alone And the world has turned its back on you Give me a moment please To tame your wild wild heart
Let me be the one you call If you jump I'll break your fall Lift you up and fly away with you into the night If you need to fall apart I can mend a broken heart If you need to crash then crash and burn You're not alone
8: "Wasted Years" by Iron Maiden (Epic level 9) Info: From the great Album "Somewhere in Time" from 1986, considered one of the best metal songs ever Comment:Easy, If you got down by "time" de PF hear this, the song is about the life on tour and the little things of life that we miss, but the message is amazing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0LuFaPtmt8Lyrics Only:
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas, I'm travelling on, far and wide, But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself, And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else.
I close my eyes, and think of home, Another city goes by, in the night, Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it til it's gone away, And my heart is lying there and will be til my dying day.
Chorus: So, understand Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years, Face up...make your stand, And realise you're living in the golden years.
Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind, Can't ease this pain, so easily, When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another day, And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the sky.
(guitar Solo)
Chorus: So, understand Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years, Face up...make your stand, And realise you're living in the golden years.
And for make them 10 Im gonna put some "Rock Anthems"9: "Ram it Down" by Judas Priest (Epic level 9) Info: From the Album of the Same name "Ram It Down" from 1988, this is considered a Rock Anthem and it contain one of the best guitar solos ever made Comment: "Thousand of cars and a million guitars Screaming with power in the air We've found the place where the decibels race This army of rock will be there" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtu20Ejv3SILyrics Only:
Raise the sights, the city lights are calling We're hot tonight, the time is right, there's nitro in the air In the street is where we'll meet, we're warning On the beat, we won't retreat, beware
Thousand of cars and a million guitars Screaming with power in the air We've found the place where the decibels race This army of rock will be there
To ram it down, ram it down Straight through the heart of this town Ram it down, ram it down Razing the place to the ground Ram it down
Bodies revvin' in leather heaven in wonder Lights are dimmin' and heads are swimmin' as thunder hits the stage Hell breaks loose, turn on the juice get stronger We metal maniacs begin to rave
Thousand of cars and a million guitars Screaming with power in the air We've found the place where the decibels race This army of rock will be there
To ram it down, ram it down Straight through the heart of this town Ram it down, ram it down Razing the place to the ground Ram it down
Shout it out, we're all together now Shout it out, we join as one, one
(Awesome Guitar Solo)
Thousand of cars and a million guitars Screaming with power in the air We've found the place where the decibels race This army of rock will be there
To ram it down, ram it down Straight through the heart of this town Ram it down, ram it down Razing the place to the ground Ram it down
10: "Hallowed Be Thy Name" by Iron Maiden (Epic level 10) Info: *spoiler*at the end of the song, only the prisoner know what was on the other side, after that he screams "Yeeeeahhhh yeeeah **spoiler**" Comment: probably this is one of the best metal songs ever made, even if you don't like it you got to appreciate how good it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5pdECfZvrQLyrics Only:
I'm waiting in my cold cell, when the bell begins to chime... Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time... 'Cause at 5 o'clock, they'll take me to the gallows pole... The sands of time for me are running low.
(Guitar Solo)
When the priest comes to read me the last rites, I take a look through the bars at the last sights, Of a world that has gone very wrong for me.
Can it be that there's some sort of error Hard to stop the surmounting terror Is it really the end, not some crazy dream?
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming, It's not easy to stop from screaming But words escape me when I try to speak! Tears fall but why am I crying, After all I'm not afraid of dying. Do not believe that there never is an end.
(Guitar Solo)
As the guards march me out to the courtyard, Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you". If there's a God then why has he let me go?
As I walk my life drifts before me, Though the end is near I'm not sorry. Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away.
Mark my words believe my soul lives on Don't worry now, that I have gone I've gone beyond to see the truth!
When you know that your time is close at hand. Maybe then you'll begin to understand, Life down here is just a strange illusion
(4 minutes Awesome Guitar Solo)
Yeeeah.... Yeeeah.... Yeeeeeaaaaah!!!!!
Hallowed Be Thy Name...
HALLOWED BE THY NAME!!!!
I put a lot in case that nobody replies, yet i got other that deserve to be here... Do you have your "Songs that you should hear before you die"?

I think 'Feel Good Inc' from the Gorillaz deserves to be on this list: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyHNuVaZJ-kNo further comments, I love this song so much, and in my personal opinions, it's a song where every part is just PERFECT. The singing, the drumming, bass, guitar, the rapping.... just.... perfect. Also, I want everyone to know about 'Don't fear the reaper' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUO_5EALZoMClassic, just..... classic.

Hi. Since the "popularity" of this post and my stubborn attitude i decide to edit my post and add a spoiler box with just the lyrics... because i can understand the no intention of hear anything usual that you hear attitude that some people have... and a well founded fear that anything about music i post will be something awful and nasty.... but this is not really the case, so... you don't have hear, just read the lyrics, it take you less than 2 minutes max... maybe after that you may want to try how it sounds... Pgirl, Well Gorillaz... i've never really pay attention to it... its kinda nice, the music is smooth and the lyrics are good... if not really sure of getting them right... Don't Fear The Reaper... from 1975... 76... i think... very good song... kinda creepy but romantic... lol And for not make the Post in "vain" i'll Add some songs Time After Time by Cindy Lauper Info: A must hear Classic from the Album "She is so Unusual" from 1983 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1VlRqeTkE0Lyrics Only:
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick, and think of you caught up in circles confusion-- is nothing new Flashback--warm nights-- almost left behind suitcases of memories, time after--
sometimes you picture me-- I'm walking too far ahead you're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said-- Then you say--go slow-- I fall behind-- the second hand unwinds
chorus: if you're lost you can look--and you will find me time after time if you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting time after time
after my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray watching through windows--you're wondering if I'm OK secrets stolen from deep inside the drum beats out of time--
chorus: if you're lost...
you said go slow-- I fall behind the second hand unwinds--
chorus: if you're lost... ...time after time time after time time after time time after time
Leyend by GirlSchool Info:the come back from hiatus to make the album Legacy mostly on tribute for the Dead of the original Guitarist Kelly Johnson, the disc count with a lot of guest music from other bands. Comment: Its nice to hear a song like this, what will say your friends after you pass?... hear what they say about her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FYi4K3fDHELyrics Only
A Tribute To Kelly Johnson
Sexy girl she bought a guitar Played the damned thing all day long Her father knew she'd be a big star Once she wrote that hit song
Played along to every record Knew she'd be that good soon Knew in time there'd be some rewards For all those years spent in her room
She was the one, everybody loved Remembered forever By everyone she knew She was the one everybody loved A legend forever We're so glad we knew you!
Joined a band, got to play live So much to give, so much to prove A marshall amp, an overdrive Had her sound and her first review
Toured the world and made the charts Years went by, she'd reached her goals Made some friends and broke some hearts Sex drugs and rock and roll
She was the one, everybody loved Remembered forever By everyone she knew She was the one everybody loved A legend forever We're so glad we knew you!
Time came to leave the band Another life in a different place Swapped rain for sun, sea and sand This girl was hard to replace
It didn't work out, came back home Back how it used to be Would have changed if she'd only known Our greatest tragedy
She was the one, everybody loved Remembered forever By everyone she knew She was the one everybody loved A legend forever We're so glad we knew you!
She was the one, She was the one, Remembered forever She was the one, She was the one, She was the one, A legend forever
Rain Maker by Iron Maiden Info:First single from the Album Dance of the Death Comment: Another IM song with a very positive message, don't believe me? click it.... Awesome music too... perfect song for a beginner. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivrVZSgmEJsLyrics Only
When I was wandering in the desert. And was searching for the truth I heard a choir of angels calling out my name. I had the feeling that my life would never be the same again I turned my face towards the barren sun
And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me. And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves. And the cracks in our lives like the cracks upon the ground. They are sealed and are now washed away
You tell me we can start the rain. You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away. You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change. You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away.
And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me. And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves. And the cracks in the ground like the cracks are in our lives. They are sealed and are now far away
You tell me we can start the rain. You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away. You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change. You tell me we can find something to wash the tears.
You tell me we can start the rain. You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away. You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change. You tell me we can find something to wash the tears.
And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me. And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves. And the cracks in the ground like the cracks are in our lives. They are sealed and are now far away!

Yeah! P-girl. Well, i admit i've never been even a little close to be a Queen or D.bowie fan... but i can feel the talent. Free bird! so that was the name of that song! i was looking for it for years, i totally love the guitar solo at the end, it is certainly one of the best solos ever i think it should be very close to the top along with "Comfortably numb" (2nd song of my first post) You really surprise me with that if you want other amazing guitar solos you can try "Ram it Down", "Hallowed be thy name" or "Paschendale" from my previous post or hear one of first 3 new. BTW: Thank you for the Idea of use the Vid instead a link "The Best Of Times" by Dream Theater"Amazing and touching song, with a great solo at the end... NOTE: If you lost your father recently DO NOT CLICK THIS unless you want to cry like a hose... if your father still alive go to him and give him a Hug. The song is like 14 minutes so Youtube split it on 2.... i recommend you to load 'em both and then play the first in case that you gotta wait in the middle of the song until the other part load. Lyrics Only:
Remember days of yesterday How it flew so fast The two score and a year we had I thought would always last
Those summer days and west coast dreams I wished would never end A young boy and his father Idol and best friend
I'll always remember Those were the best of times A lifetime together I'll never forget
Morning shows on the radio The Case of the Missing Dog Lying on the pillows at the old 812 Watching Harold and Maude
The record shops, the stickball fields My home away from home And when we weren't together The hours on the phone
I'll always remember Those were the best of times I'll cherish them forever The best of times
But then came the call Our lives changed forever more "You can pray for a change But prepare for the end..."
The fleeting winds of time Flying through each day All the things I should've done But time just slipped away Remember seize the day
Life goes by in the blink of an eye With so much left to say
These were the best of times I'll miss these days Your spirit lit my life each day
Thank you for the inspiration Thank you for the smiles All the unconditional love That carried me for miles It carried me for miles
But most of all thank you for my life
These were the best of times I'll miss these days Your spirit lit my life each day
My heart is bleeding bad But I'll be okay Your spirit guides my life each day
(In Loving Memory of Howard Portnoy 1940-2009)
"Under A Glass Moon" by Dream Theater "Crionics" by SLAYERHey don't run away yet! this is a NON OFFENSIVE song.. probably the only one of the band LOL, it have a great music and an awesome solo at the end... this is one example of why i was complying about the guitar hero's selected songwhen they decide to include Raining blood instead one of the melodic songs... Please ignore the devil on the disc cover LOL Lyrics:
Eyes upon me Watching me in my perpetual sleep Dreams deceive me My future depends on a mindless dream I've fallen from promises Damned to take risks on my own The masterful science that freezes your Mind and your soul The wretched dream is realized The human race is to be crystallized
Thoughts of laughter Filling the head of the master in charge. Worlds of wonder Is this a cure or a painless death I'll fight and resist Till they all see the end that is near The doctors the lawers and G-men Are living in fear Living my life with one distant hope A cure that will kill my invincible foe!!!!!
"Yesterday" by The Beatles Need to say anything? "kiss from a rose" by sealSo many memories.... life was simpler... and happier back then... Sorry, i couldn't help it... Amazing song still don't know wth is he talking about but i love it... BATMAN!!! LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7y19ED6VrkLyrics:
There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea. You became the light on the dark side of me. Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill. But did you know, That when it snows, My eyes become large and The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray. Ooh, The more I get of you, The stranger it feels, yeah. And now that your rose is in bloom. A light hits the gloom on the gray.
There is so much a man can tell you, So much he can say. You remain, My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny. Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby? But did you know, That when it snows, My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray. Ooh, the more I get of you The stranger it feels, yeah Now that your rose is in bloom. A light hits the gloom on the gray,
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray, I've been kissed by a rose I've been kissed by a rose on the gray, ...And if I should fall along the way I've been kissed by a rose ...been kissed by a rose on the gray.

Well, I think that it seems to depend of how you hear music... its different from one person to another, for me... Lyrics are very important, i really love bands/ songs that really have meaningful things to say or tell an story, a big reason to stay away from Pop Marketing Puppets and such, that only sing about vain and shallow stuff. I can't deny that i really like some instrumental music (Instrumental, not electronic... the electronic loop based stuff should stay on video games IMO) I pretty much teach Myself English hearing music... I could never kept hearing a song like that (La Tribu de Dana) without knowing what's he saying... I would get Insane trying to figure it out, and I mean it... INSANE, i like some songs on German French or Japanese and i swear, I'd to run to google to figure it out what it is about (and learn it LOL) or it will eat my brain out... I can hear from classic or Jazz to Heavy metal, but really I Never like Hip-hop or Rap. Pgirl, If you got a minute, really just read (if you haven't) the Lyrics some of my songs like "Paschendale" or "Time" you'll see what i m talking about. Talking about Instrumental this is one of my all time favorites... just close your eyes and let it go. Anything that involves John Petrucci is amazing... STATE OF GRACE by Liquid Tension ExperimentMaking an exception... I Believe that for these Lyrics this deserve to be here. This Song is about Mother's Love... Performed by Ohmori Kinuto for BGC3, it sing about a little Child's dead Mother spirit... but a lot of people can relate to that kind of Love. ...tears (I Include Translated Lyrics on the spoiler box) Wasurenaide (Don't Forget) Voice: Ohmori KinutoEnglish
The town sinks into blue darkness and a sigh that entraps the wind strikes the sleepless window.
How are you doing these days? I hope that those are good dreams coloring that heart of yours.
Are you well? That, and that alone, is always on my mind. When times get hard don't cry alone, O.K.?
"Don't stop, baby, dreaming" "Don't stop, baby, loving" "Don't stop, babe, believing" Don't forget... "Don't stop, baby, dreaming" "Don't stop, baby, loving" "Don't stop, babe, believing" ...that I'm here. I'll always be by your side.
On lonely nights, remember that you've got a friend, who waits for you unchangingly.
The dazzling smiles you gave me are locked away, like treasures, in the jewelbox of my heart.
That night, crying, you and I gazed up at the stars, and I wanted was protect you from everything that hurts you.
"Don't stop, baby, dreaming" "Don't stop, baby, loving" "Don't stop, babe, believing" Don't forget... "Don't stop, baby, dreaming" "Don't stop, baby, loving" "Don't stop, babe, believing" ...I will always love you, even though we're far apart.
"Don't stop, baby, dreaming" "Don't stop, baby, loving" "Don't stop, babe, believing" Don't forget... "Don't stop, baby, dreaming" "Don't stop, baby, loving" "Don't stop, babe, believing" ...that I'm here. I'll always be by your side.
And Finally one of the best Voices i've ever heard... Your Music will Live Forever Don't Talk To Strangers by DIOCopy Paste from my Dio Topic, mostly all of the songs i post there should be here too, but what would be the point of having them twice, if you are interested check the other post. Keep Posting, don't be shy LOL

I don't really care for lyrics myself. As long as the melody is right and you at least get the feeling the lyrics are alright, I'll pretty much listen to anything. However, this has led to dissapointing situations. Back in the nineties, there was this Turkish guy who made it big with this one song. His name was Tarkan (?) and I actually liked it. I mean, it was nothing special, but it was catchy, upbeat, and had this Turkish flavor. (Forgot the title, but Holly Vallance covered it.... badly.) However, because it was Turkish, I had no idea what it meant. So I looked it up. What a letdown. I never expected Shakesperean quality, but I at least expected something better then 'You blow your bubble-gum and it pops.... sexily *Facepalm* So yeah, that kinda ruined the song for me.
/anecdote.

LOL, yeah... it happens sometimes... Anyway, for me is the music is good even if the lyrics aren't i can like it... yet i'll get over it after a while, if it also have good lyrics i'll like it forever... In different music styles lyrics are more or less important, that a very big factor too... i mean in things like Rap, or Thrash Metal and others.. the lyrics are the main boss... they will be pointless if the lyrics are bad or hollow... even so, i'll never hear anything written by someone who seems to have brain damage... random example: "The beat of my heart" *repeat it about 150 times and Ta-dah! lyrics) FAIL!!!! Anyway... passion is another way to communicate even without understand the lyrics.. here is a perfect example "Ich Verlasse Heut' Dein Herz" by Lacrimosa(today i left your heart) i think Start slow, later it gets amazing, and the girl on the keyboards (forget the name) and the guitarist make an awesome work If you dont get the feeling you are dead

I totally see what you mean by that. All in all, it depends on the song and the artist. Also..... Gorillaz; On Melancholy HillI love this song. It's so.... flighty, but also so sad, 'Melancholy' is indeed the best word to describe it. 2D (I know the original singer isn't called that, but whatever, I'm used to calling the guy 2D) as always, knows how to convey the mood perfectly. That, and I love the clip. Making good music videos seems to be a lost art, but the Gorillaz keep proving me wrong. The 3D, the 2D.... it's both colorful and quirky, yet dark and bizarre. Hell, I even love the gratituous cameos of the artists that collaborated with the album. (Even tough I only recognised Snoop Dog)

/dies my god pink floyd and the cure and and man they are classics. i really like the churt and the smiths too. they're worth listening before you die. Beatles of course too. you havnt lived without hearing them.
BUT UM.. isnt "under pressure" by Freddie Murcury and David bowie not Queen and Bowie? ah well doesnt matter .. behe
Under the MilkWay tonight ~ The Church oh god were do i start. this is an amazing song Its beautifuly composed and simply angelic to hear. I guess its a wonderful song to hear when your feeling slightly lonely and sad, it makes you feel somewhat pretty again. And might i say the lyrics are just magical along with Steven Kilbey's deep voice.. and the bagpipes? never heard a song that can pull that off as well as the church does!
Ice House ~ Great Southern Land This was the song of my early teenage years. It made me want to cry, it made me want to run away, it made me want to sing an d scream. Its amazing how soft and enchanting a song can be. And i guess i relate to it so well because its about Australia and its geography. But honestly this is a magical song worth hearing before you die. no i dint mean to rhyme c:
Bigmouth Strikes again ~ The Smiths I would have chosen 'girlfriend in a coma' but i guess this is the song my dad played in the car on long trips when i was a little girl and so its my personal favorite. but both are really great songs. Worth hearing i spose they're very similar to the last two i mentioned. I guess im tying in a theme now. But if you liekd them, then by all means you'll love this one!
Dont Dream its over ~ Crowded House I'll always love Crowded house, a great Australian band with great memorable musical moments. ARGH alliteration sliped of me. Anywho again this is tying in with my unintentional theme. But it really is a beautiful song, quite romantic but sad really. I remember my aunty has this song playing in the background of a wedding video. Thats my earliest memory of this song. Listen to it it really is quite beautiful.
The Cure ~ Boys Dont Cry Its no secret im a huge Cure fan, i adore Robert Smith and his quirky look even at 51. And this is just a classic from the band. I mean they've lasted from the mid 70's all the way to the 2000's and are set to release a new album soon enough.. we hope. Anywho the lyrics to this are so wonderful, i mean the tittle hints it all. Boys dont cry. I love it.
The Doors ~ Hello, i love you Oh god, jimi morrison. I love the Doors. what a great band i really dont think your done living until you've heard the Doors. And im not sure if this is their best song but its my personal favorite. My dad used to play it all the time on casette in the car, so its like an anthem of myne. I love the power and fun of this song, the keyboard, the concept of 'hello' and hwo you can say hi then love someone. Its wonderful really.

For Some reason, some people i know thought it was a funny thing that i was caring in my CD case the Pink Floyd's "Dark side of the Moon" album, they hear the "season" "cool people" music, and seems to think that something made in the 70s is worthless... in the end i was the one laughing at them. Anyway... First, Pgirl, your link is broken... and {§hani} Haven't hear mostly of the song you post, interesting material Today I'll give you 3 links more the first, one that you should already know... everybody knows Hotel California by the EaglesNeed to say anything? The second one is one song that everybody likes but almost no one ever admit it... SCATMAN by scatmanI know a story related to this, so I don't know if i have al the right info but i'll say it anyway, you can correct me if i'm wrong: " This Guy who sings this, was supposed to suffer of stutterer and other speaking problems and no body believe he will archive anything, yet at 50 years old become a singer, then at 52 became world famous and then died at 55..." If you pay attention to his lyrics he say in more than one song things like "dont let anything hold you" or "you can do it if you push it hard enough" Just love that song... I remember hearing this in Loop for Hours back then... once it start i wish it never ends... yeah, this is a metalhead talking... And the last of today is other Song special for me... a song that no one here have ever hear (i'm pretty sure) The song is great but its really important for that time in my life ...It is in Spanish i let you to check it, i think that should be know for more people "Profanar" by Suite Doble

Yeah, Bands like The Police - Sting, Chicago, Journey - Steve Perry and etc... they have plenty of great songs... they have great stuff... I knew only a few of each, 'cuz i went to the other music path... the darker one LOL, so it will be better if someone else says which ones belong here... On old songs, If you ask for Black sabbath and stuff like that i can answer more efficiently LOL And Pgirl... Oban's Intro? Really? i mean i love that cartoon, but barely remember the song.. let me check... Hey! Now i remember its very good indeed... Now that I bring the topic... Just Classics Paranoid by Black Sabbath (Ozzy Osbourne)Shot in The Dark by Ozzy OsbourneHeaven and Hell (Live Italy 1992) by Black Sabbath (Ronnie James Dio)Computer God by Black Sabbath (Ronnie James Dio)(As I said before The rest of the Epic Dio Songs on my Dio Topic if someone are interested)

its been a while.. no wonder no one else post here... Ok, "softer" is kinda relative, i mean for me mostly of sabbath and a lot of Iron Maiden is soft LOL but i got what you mean... and yeah old is better... back then when you actually need talent to be successful, now the marketing techniques owns the "mainstream music"... whatever that sentence means... i can say proudly that i kill my radio in 1999 (literally) I know that song, but i haven't pay attention to the lyrics... But that ok, its even better, many songs have different meaning for different people, i know a lot of cases when im sure a song is about something then someone of the band says what is it about and its something totally different... mostly of the times something disappointingly meaningless Well talking about being able to enjoy loud stuff (even when its not really that loud) if someone will hear only a few of metal songs probably this two will be a good pair Again, this is not that heavy, its melodical and non offensive Just give it a try please The first one is "Fear of the Dark (Live 1992)" by Iron MaidenPlease note that the choir singing along the guitars is the people on the public not the band or anything, thats truly awesome anyone who can hear this song and enjoy it from beginning to end automatically gain my respect.... yeah like if that worth anything to anyone LOL Ita an audio only because the only video version of the 1992 concert (the best IMO) is cropped And the Second but not less important (actually is second cuz i post it before) "Heaven And Hell (live 1992)" by Black Sabbath Vocals on the man who "invented" the hors hand sing... Ronnie James Dio (yeah, i keep annoying with that man, but i only have a few idols and he really was one) This is pretty much the same song i post before but this time is a live footage instead an audio only video, so its better to watch and hear and it also have better sound.. take it like a second chance, Don miss it Both songs performed on 1992 from bands from the 70s and 80s

Alright, just watched the Fifth Element for like.... the 1000th time. Love that movie. The relevance? This scene: I can, without a doubt, say it's one of my favorite movie scenes of all time. Mostly due to the singing. The first, classical part is just touchingly beautiful, and the second part is just.... a testament to the human voice. Barely any digital alteration. And by barely I do mean barely One, two seconds, tops. Proof? WOW If you, by any chance, wanted to hear it without the noises of the movie.
