Let's talk about music.

Do you have a song that just makes "click" in your head, because it hits the nail on the head so perfectly? Do you have a song that summarises you, or how you feel?

Obviously, it changes from time to time or even from mood to mood, but in the past few weeks I think "The Perfect Fit" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJRKrDeOWyE) (lyrics (http://www.dresdendolls.com/downloads_n_lyrics/lyrics/perfectfit.htm)) by the Dresden Dolls has really struck a nerve with me..."i used to be the smart one; sharp as a tack; funny how that skipping years ahead
has held me back".

I'm becoming such a brigadier...funny how I went through my teen years never really being a fan of any band or artist, but now that I'm supposedly an adult the Dresden Dolls come along.

Snow patrol - chasing cars...

Im addicted to it, i have it on constant repeat.

Probably the one that most fits me is "Fear of Dying" by Jack Off Jill. It doesn't fit every mood, just the majority of them.

Our Velocity - Maximo Park

I really like it and kind of makes sense to my current life situation. Its nice and uplifiting.

Anything by Delain, but only because the singer is hot.

I have experienced the phenomenon, but not lately. Most recent occurance was about 3 years ago, with Sister Hazel's Change Your Mind (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/sisterhazel/changeyourmind.html)

I had a few songs that gave me some bad memories. You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC, Photograph and Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad by Def Leppard. I decided not to think after a while about it and just rock out.

Badger Song.

"Do Your Thing" by Basement Jaxx has been my unofficial theme for going on two weeks.

Dude you are way too young to have "bad memories" from those tunes. Wait until you're old enough to drink :p

Badger Song.

Dude! You cannot name it and not link (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/badgers/) to it!

goddess on a highway by mercury rev always stops me in my tracks. not sure why, the lyrics don't particularly apply to me in any way, but i have always loved it.

Guess what song started just as I clicked on this thread? Yep. The Perfect Fit. Odd how it goes somehow, huh?

I'm not sure I have a song that describes me or how I feel. Most of the songs that I ascribe meaning to in terms of my life aren't songs per se, as they're lyricless - Explosions in the Sky's Your Hand In Mine (http://youtube.com/watch?v=IrMfIqWnYSo) and 65daysofstatic's Radio Protector (http://youtube.com/watch?v=_qSptlkMuC8) are good examples.

There are two songs that fit my lifestyle best, I think. 'Missing' by Evanescence hits it pretty good, but even better is 'Untitled (How could this happen to me?)' by Simple Plan.

I don't get it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xJbEoc5sDw) :(

Way too many I could name. Just at this moment, "Amanda" by Waylon Jennings.

used to be Empty Room by Crowbar
before that it was Fiddler On The Green by Demons & Wizards

nowadays i'm not so sure. Searching by Joe Satriani kinda 'clicks' with me like that

Pfft, since when have songs ever needed lyrics.

Pfft, since when have songs ever needed lyrics.

QFT (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1mV_5-bRPo)

mine would have to be "The Seventh Trumpet" by August Burns Red.

Hmm... there are too many songs like that to choose just one... I remember I once tried to make a playlist of songs like that.

Pfft, since when have songs ever needed lyrics.
Well, if it doesn't have lyrics it's an instrumental piece, not actually a song.

Hmm... there are too many songs like that to choose just one... I remember I once tried to make a playlist of songs like that.

The last time I made such a list I quit with some 1700+ songs on it.

You fail (http://www.bobbymcferrin.com/) :p

I don't get it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xJbEoc5sDw) :(

i have to say, i've never seen the video, that was odd. but that tune cranked up really high on a sunny day with a spliff and a cold beer is beautiful ;)

Right now it's prelude 12/21 by AFI.

At present, it's Shellac's 'Prayer to God'. Just love the lyrics:

To the one true God above:
here is my prayer -
not the first you've heard, but the first I wrote.
(not the first, but the others were a long time ago).
There are two people here, and I want you to kill them.
Her - she can go quietly, by disease or a blow
to the base of her neck,
where her necklaces close,
where her garments come together,
where I used to lay my face...
That's where you oughta kill her,
in that particular place.
Him - just fucking kill him, I don't care if it hurts.
Yes I do, I want it to,
fucking kill him but first
make him cry like a woman,
(no particular woman),
let him hold out, hold back
(someone or other might come then fucking kill him).
Fucking kill him.
Kill him already, kill him.
Fucking kill him, fucking kill him,
Kill him already, kill him,
Just fucking kill him! {repeats}


so positive and full of affirmation.

Dude you are way too young to have "bad memories" from those tunes. Wait until you're old enough to drink :p

Drinking would help to forget. :p

Right now? Pink -- Dear Mr. President
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eDJ3cuXKV4

3rd movement of Shostakovich's 5th symphony
And so it goes by Billy Joel

Puscifier - Rev. 22-20.

Beautiful blasphemy. That's me baby.

Today it's probably Canadian The Prowlers' Friday Night. (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=122382879) Great tune, good vocals, and the lyrics might as well be a page from my diary (if I had one).

Not really...not for some time. I don't even know how I feel anymore. Weird huh?

Dating myself here...

"Against The Wind" by Bob Seger


It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playlng low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin'
against the wind

And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded bv stranners I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

Well those drifters days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
Well I'm older now and still
Against the wind

And so it goes by Billy Joel

That song makes me bawl like a baby pretty much every time I hear it.

Baby Universe (from Katamari Damacy)

The End, The Beatles

Bitch by Meredith Brooks. I usually tell people that is my theme song. :D
I have my ups and downs.

Drinking would help to forget. :p
Hey, I saw this song a little while ago and I've been itching for an excuse to post it. I thought you might enjoy this (http://www.andrewhorabin.com/dreamgirl/filesend/37/The+Wanking.mp3), based on some of your previous threads. Apologies if I offend. Enjoy.


Nah, no songs fit me.

Damn it, it doesn't work. Go here (http://www.andrewhorabin.com/themusical), 4th link on the right.

;) :D

Eagle and the Hawk by John Denver. I can't really explain it; if you know me, you'll get it.

meh, i'm really really really liking lump by james holden at the moment, don't know why, it's just a really really really great song i guess. although it doesn't have lyrics it is quite emotional, but i can't really say how it makes me feel.

Harvest of Souls by IQ


or the East German National Anthem.

Jeffrey altergott - Ikarus grounded

Great song!

Maybe also Area 51 - Historia en un bar

I can upload them if wanted.

"Anti-Matter" by The Aquabats.



When all those people
Try to hold us down
With what they got
I said, hey kids
What do we got?
Not a lot
So what?

I'm not sure of the title, but it's by Whitesnake and has a line about "the lonely street of dreams"

'Masquerade' from the Phantom of the Opera musical by Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.
It just sort of fits my attitude towards life; hide my true nature behind an outward facade for fear of unpleasantness otherwise.

Well, I like alot of songs... But I can only really hear "How To Save a life" by the Fray right now...

Well it isn't Desparado.

Right now though, "Castles in the Air" by Don McLean sounds especially pleasing.

Oh, also "Insight" by the Dead Kennedys.

We never talk to him
He never looks quite right
He laughs at us
And we just beat him up in line
What he sees escapes our si-yi-yi-yi-yi-SIGHT!

"I'm on Fire," by Bruce Springsteen.

Sarah Brightman and the London Symphony Orchestra - Just Show Me How to Love You.

don't have one i have lots

The Trees by Rush, at the moment.

I dunno. I probably would have been able to tell you clearly last year, but these days I just kinda let the music happen, and worry about everything else later.

Waiting for the great leap forward (http://youtube.com/watch?v=FknxIkLbn7E) perhaps, and Running out of Angels by Elvis Costello really struck a note with me this afternoon, but that will have changed by tommorrow, and I'll be listening to hardcore.

High Hopes, Marooned, Sorrow, all by Pink Floyd. So, make whatever inferences you wish, but nothing hits me like one of their songs.

I like "Learning to Fly" and "Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2" by them.


Also, I've really been liking "Hypnotize" by System of a Down lately. Also "Wizard in Black" by Electric Wizard.

Yeah, learning to fly is amazing. The live version is better than the studio, though.

Iron Maiden's Infinite Dreams.

"Summer of '69" - Bryan Adams.

A current favourite is Sleep by Eric Whitacre.

Also "Wizard in Black" by Electric Wizard.

*gasp* Someone else listens to them!

*points to sig*

You're my new NS friend, hello! :P

Hiya. Yeah, I listened to a bit online and then downloaded "Dopethrone" off iTunes.

Also I think the hilarity factor of tacking on every genre they are or borderline is awesome. "So, they're like Stoner Epic Sludge Doom Metal, let's listen to them!"

Lol. Dopethrone is their best album IMO, but I enjoy them all.

And the genre labelling might be silly, but there is a huge overlap between the stoner/sludge/doom metal scenes anyway...if you enjoy one, you tend to find common ground in the others too (at least, I certainly did), since they all go for that whole "slow and heavy" vibe and have nearly the same musical roots. If you decide you like that sort of stuff I can recommend a ton of it. :)

Yeah, our accents are good like that. :p

Don't I know it.

I Want it All - Queen

Adventure seeker on an empty street
Just an alley creeper light on his feet
A young fighter screaming with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger cant see a way out
It aint much Im asking I heard him say
Gotta find me a future move out of my way
I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now
I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now

Listen all you people come gather round
I gotta get me a game plan gotta shake you to the ground
Just give me what I know is mine
People do you hear me just give me the sign
It aint much Im asking if you want the truth
Heres to the future for the dreams of youth
I want it all (give it all) I want it all I want it all and I want
It now
I want it all (yes I want it all) I want it all (hey)
I want it all and I want it now

Im a man with a one track mind
So much to do in one life time (people do you hear me)
Not a man for compromise and wheres and whys and living
Lies
So Im living it all (yes Im living it all)
And Im giving it all (and Im giving it all)

Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I want it all all all all

It aint much Im asking if you want the truth
Heres to the future
Hear the cry of youth (hear the cry hear the cry of youth)
I want it all I want it all I want it all and I want it now
I want it all (yeah yeah yeah) I want it all I want it all and i
Want it now

I want it
Now
I want it I want it

I find Drone Doom to be excessively depressing. Do you have non-depressing Drone Doom?

I find Drone Doom to be excessively depressing. Do you have non-depressing Drone Doom?

That's kinda the point of doom.... :P

Look into the band Earth. You could also try Dopesmoker by Sleep, although that's not really a drone album as such, it is a 64 minute long song...

I guess I'm going to have to check out this Electric Wizard then. You don't have to be smoking dope to appreciate it, right?

I guess I'm going to have to check out this Electric Wizard then. You don't have to be smoking dope to appreciate it, right?

Nope. A taste for metal would help though. :)

By "Not depressing" I mean "Not about suicide or murder"

Definitely Earth then. They're the godfathers of the whole drone thing. :)

I guess I'm going to have to check out this Electric Wizard then. You don't have to be smoking dope to appreciate it, right?

No.

By "Not depressing" I mean "Not about suicide or murder"

I'm not sure of the title, but it's by Whitesnake and has a line about "the lonely street of dreams"

It's callled "Here I go Again".

My song, dedicated to me by my wife is "Hard to Handle". I prefer the Otis Redding version, but The Black Crowes will do as well.

A taste for metal would help though. :)

Well, yes. I do like metal, although I don't think I've listened to that much doom. Can you give examples of similar bands?

Well, yes. I do like metal, although I don't think I've listened to that much doom. Can you give examples of similar bands?Start with Cathedral, Candlemass, or My Dying Bride.

Right now, anything by Leonard Cohen.

Yeah.

Well, yes. I do like metal, although I don't think I've listened to that much doom. Can you give examples of similar bands?

Hard to say. There's Ramesses (http://www.myspace.com/ramesses666), which features a couple of ex-band members...not overly familiar with them though (edit - added the link...they seem pretty good, poor recording quality excused). Sleep are stoner/doom as well, but Electric Wizard are a good deal heavier. The closest thing would probably be a band called Grief, but they don't really have much of a psychedelic vibe. You could find similarities with stuff like Eyehategod too.

Start with Cathedral, Candlemass, or My Dying Bride.

Well, they're not really similar to Electric Wizard, but if he wants recommendations of doom as a whole, that's a fair start.

"Don't Stop Believing"

Well, I don't know those other bands, so I'll just listen for myself. Good old Wikipedia usually has a link to the myspace of any given band, so it's easy to "research" new music.

Hey Baby (New Rising Sun), by the Jimi Hendrix Experience currently. It changes quite often, a couple days before that it was Four Walls of Raiford by Lynyrd Skynyrd, and before that it was The Ocean by Led Zeppelin, and before that it was Not To Touch The Earth by The Doors...

The list goes on and on. I should make a playlist of them, methinks.

Right now, my theme songs are Manowar's Hand Of Doom, House Of Death, and Fight Until We Die.

Yes, I'm pissed off at many things right now.

It changes from time to time, but right now, its "Those Chosen By The Planet" By Nobuo Uematsu.

Right now, anything by Leonard Cohen.

Yeah.
Nice!

I'm beginning to fear the next batch of smileys.

"They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-ha" by Napoleon XIV.

I'm beginning to fear the next batch of smileys.
http://planetsmilies.net/vicious-smiley-1862.gif
Muahaha.

Jeez, I had to think about this. At the minute, I'm thinking 'In Remote Part/Scottish Friction' by Idlewild.

Other songs? Umm, 'Local Hero' by Dire Straights is my 'home' song. I always have that on on the train back home.

Oh...

Stars and Stripes of Corruption by the Dead Kennedys.

Our land, I love it too
I think I love it more than you
I care enough to fight

The stars and stripes of corruption
Lets bring it all down!
If we dont try
If we just lie
If we cant find
A way to do it better than this
Who will?

This is the tune that often plays
If you don't like it you're a gay
And if you're tired of gay being used in that context
Then I'll just say "your mom" 'cause there's no screwing with the best

That's it. It does not repeat, that would be annoying.

Either Grinspoon - Chemical Heart, or The Living End - Second Solution.

There are thousands of others, but these two sprung to mind immediately.

My song is "Young Man Blues", originally written by Mose Allison, and as performed by The Who.

I think "Everybody's Changing" by Keane is the one these days. <3

I have a few...

Ich Will-Rammstein (No one REALLY listens to me)
Never Too Late-Three Days Grace (I dont fit in to well...)
Can I Play With Madness-Iron Maiden (Full Of Awsomeness)
Pour Some Sugar On Me-Def Leppard (Now I shall bore you all with the drawn out explination :D MUWHAHAHAHAHA!!! :D)





















Its all in white text, just keep trying and youll find out the secret eventually...

Fine Again - Seether
Mad World - Gary Jules
Soilwork - Nerve
Monsters - Gothminister

Not sure.

Do you have a song that just makes "click" in your head, because it hits the nail on the head so perfectly? Do you have a song that summarises you, or how you feel?

For me, it would be MISUTERIASU NAITO (Mysterious Night) (http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/bgc/bgcnight.htm).

"Go with the flow" by Queens of the stoneage and "Stand my ground" by Kamasutra. Pure joy, I assume Kanabia will agree.

"Go with the flow" by Queens of the stoneage and "Stand my ground" by Kamasutra. Pure joy, I assume Kanabia will agree.

I certainly approve of QOTSA. As for Kamasutra, though, is this (http://www.kamasutraband.com/sounds.html) the band you meant? I can't dig up any other references to them whatsoever - hellishly obscure - but I really like what i've listened to there so far.

"Oxy Cotton"
(feat. Crunchy Blac, Lord Infamous)

[Lil' Wyte]
Go on and slip me two Xanax Bars - I'm ready to git fool
5th of crown to wash it down, I'm downtown snapping rules
Ain't no shame up in my game - in fact I'm mentally deranged
Oxycontin in my system - man I'm feeling kinda strange
Watch me choke about this dope - Blueberry from Texas
You wanna git up in rotation that's too bad cause I'm stressing
'Bout now its 1:30 am - 11 Percocets just entered me
15 minutes from this second - I'll be crawling on my knees
Laughing at the crowd of all the clowns that be surrounding me
Take another loritab to calm me down and let me see
Body be relaxed - muscles be loose, and you have stopped the pain
No more bitching 'bout your day and work and driving in the rain
Put up wit' the fussing and discussion - I plant in your brain
Hypnotize ya minds, like all the rest but I come through the veins
Take a chill pill to slow me down and git back in this game
Gatta be up on ya P's and Q's to even feel it mane

[Hook 2x - Lil' Wyte]
Oxycotton - Xanax Bars - Percocet and Lortab
Valiums - Morphine - patches - Exstacy - and it's all up for grab
What'cha want - what'cha need - hit me up I got you mane
What'cha want - what'cha need - hit me up I got you mane

[Lord Infamous]
Scarecrow, scarecrow whats that you popping?
A powerful pill they call Oxy Contton
But it'so tiny, that it got you dragging
Haven't you heard big things come in small packages
I prefer the orange's with the black O-C
Take to and you cannot move up out ya seat
Some people melt 'em down in a needle and shoot 'em up
But I pop 'em with Seroquel like glue, I am stuck

[Crunchy Blac]
See I'ma pill popper - so I'ma keep poppin' em
Gimme 20 Xanax and I'ma start droppin' em
They ain't no stoppin' him - when they in my system
Mane I really miss 'em - can you help me get 'em
I heard you have Clidina, on that fucking pill shed
Gimme some fuckn Ec' - gimme some Percocets
I need me some four bar, so I can break down
Cause a nigga like me 'finna take it to funky town

[Hook 2x - Lil' Wyte]
Oxycontin - Xanax Bars - Percocet and Lortab
Valiums - Morphine - patches - Ecstacy - and it's all up for grab
What'cha want - what'cha need - hit me up I got you mane
What'cha want - what'cha need - hit me up I got you mane

Why the fuck are you listening to rap? 'Cause that sure as hell sounds like rap. I don't mind hip-hop influenced stuff (Nu Metal, Rage Against the Machine, etc.) but straight rap sucks.

Cold Chisel's "Flame Trees", "Bow River" & Radiohead's "High & Dry" have always meant something to me.

lame and cliched as it is, creep by Radiohead
or Cop Killer by Ice T, I love the rebelliousness and rage of it all
