Songs that really hit home.

[Rival Max]

What songs really hit home for you. By hit home I mean songs that speak to that inner part of you.

"Pure Imagination" performed by Fiona Apple

This may be the most incredible commercial Ive ever seen. The cover is done really well.

That, I have to say, was really well done. Thanks for sharing that!


As for me, I was searching for Halloween music for a party, and I came across a song and a music video that touched me in a surreal, profound way (not really Halloween-related save for the title):

Boards of Canada - Reach for the Dead

While watching the video and listening to the track, I was swept up in contemplative thoughts about life, death, God, the journey of the spirit, and where humanity is heading as a whole. The video itself is mainly footage of abandoned buildings, deserts, and nature, but when paired with the music, it has a very different and transcendental effect. It may sound a little crazy, but give it a watch and a listen, maybe you'll have a similar reaction. Few songs have been able to touch me spiritually like the way this one does.

First off thanks for sharing. Whats interesting about that video the cycle of life. normally focusing on abandoned places would kind of make you feel bleak, empty or maybe even loss, but the editor is quick to change focus sometimes aggressively to show that beyond the decay.

I liked it.

Alright, you can tell me if I did this wrong, but basically, I'll just move on with my song then.

Irony [Sung by Lizz, English Piano Version]

Eh, I actually don't think I can really say much. The reason it really has touched me is that I have suffered through depression for a good amount of my life (around 4 years?), and it actually talks about a lot of symptoms I went through and still go through nowadays. Also, Lizz is a truly beautiful singer, so I'm glad that she made this cover.

LD, I really like that song. Like, I REALLY like it. I liked everyone elses songs too though.

I don't expect anyone to listen to the whole 20 minute song, so I'm going to link this so it starts at the part that shows the theme of the song the best. Overall I just love the song, and lyrically it's perfect IMO. It's called A Change of Seasons.

There's a bit of a story to it, but really the song is just about making the best of every day because life won't last forever.

That was a very long song man..lol

Eh there are a few songs that resonate deeply with me but if I had to pick one...

Jackson Browne - Late For The Sky

I first heard it in Taxi Driver and it pretty much encapsulates the loneliness and hopelessness of the main character. We all go through those emotions though so you don't have to watch the movie in order to enjoy this wonderful song.

[Silverclaw]

Creep by Radiohead because im a creep.

[Rival Max]

Creep is classic.

Michael Stip with Coldplay - In the sun

Im not really a religious person but this song has helped out in the sad moments.

Always liked that song. I had this in my head all yesterday after watching that video. It was pretty amazing. :O The video was great too. Definitely a different way to look at the song.

I enjoyed listening to all the songs being shared :)

I really love Flight of the Crow by Passenger (and many of his other songs). Just seems to speak to me, somehow.
