Emotionally Charged Lyrics

[Van Der Zeevalk]

I thought of this thread the other day when I heard one of the three songs that never fail to hit a raw nerve.

Have any of the BF Music Board community got one song, or several songs, that always stir your emotions , reduce you to tears, or something similar?

 

[IDGAF]

"Head like a hole" Nine Inch Nails .... perfectly penned for an Ex of mine

If you are reading this Trish ... " I`d rather die , than give you control "

Sinnaed O`Connor - Emporers New Clothes ... one of the best songs ever written . Anyone who has ever done some silly things when they were young , made some mistakes , then spent a long time being judged for them ... will know what i mean .

I reckon anyone who isn`t familiar with this song should get it and have a real good listen to it and really soak in the words .

Perfect thread for A.F.I.

"This Time Imperfect" has always managed to stir something inside of me. Great song.

"Morningstar" does the same.

'Black', 'Jeremy' or 'Grievance' by Pearl Jam

 

[Van Der Zeevalk]

As I started the thread, i suppose I ought to divulge the three that split me down the middle every time I hear them.

By The Time I Get To Phoenix ( Glen Campbell )

This really kicks like a mule. Usually can't even get past the intro notes without having to either switch it off or get out of view.

The Green Green Grass of Home ( Tom Jones )

Castles In The Air ( Don McLean )

Hunters and Collectors - Throw your arms around me - Acoustic Version particully gets me going

Halelujah - cant remember who sings it

why do you have to list two absolutely amazing songs, and then spoil the whole post by mentioning that godawful band that is nickelback?

Taylor Dayne - Love Will Lead You Back
F.R David - Words
The Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin
Aerosmith - I Don't Want to Miss a Thing
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Freebird
Peabo Bryson - If Ever You're in My Arms Again

All these have brought a tear to my eye at one stage or another.

 

[ManWithNoName]

I Me Mine-The Beatles

Doesn't bring me to tears or anything, but the lyrics are very powerful.

The band played Waltzing Matilda. It was written (and performed) by Eric Bogle, but I have The Pogues version.
Either way it's one of the most powerful songs ever written.

Hallelujah has to be number one, but I've got a friend who absolutely loses it when she hears "Wild World" by Cat Stevens. To the extent that she will burst into tears if she hears it in a shopping centre. It can be rather embarrassing playing the consoling friend when you aren't exactly sure what's going on.

Funny about that. The Maxi Priest version occasionally tweaks a nerve for me as well, although I think it's more to do with the time it was charting than the actual lyric.

Tool - Bottom

I like the general theme, and I appreciate the ability to be able to make a line like 'I have gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain' not sounds ludicrously cheesy. Henry Rollins and Maynard combination = quality.
