music that REALLY means something to you

for whatever reason. maybe a song you find cathartic, maybe one that brings back memories from a better time, or that helped you cope with a more unpleasant time.

this metallica song is one of many that i attribute to never becoming suicidal and/or homicidal.

mama said is a song that every son or daughter has to listen to at least once in their life

REM's "Everybody Hurts".....

 

This song means a lot of me. I love the music and the lyrics are amazing! It's about self-discovery, and not living like a robot or a slave to society. Not be afraid to be an individual, and to question the norms of the world we live in.

I transcend my earthly form
Through some questions never asked before
Question the need to be a machine
That responds automatically

Some words will trigger certain acts
Just one of the commandments we have learnt
Some acts will trigger certain states
I think it's time to alter the game

I'm changing
You're changing
We're changing from within

Deviate from the form of nothing
Deviate from the norm to something
Deviate from the form of nothing
I deviate, farewell to the tribe

I receive clues that lead me
To answers never seen before
And find the final piece
In the puzzle of reality

Some words will trigger certain acts
Belief in limitations we have learnt
Some acts will trigger certain states
I'm taking back what I gave away

I'm changing
You're changing
We're changing from within

Deviate from the form of nothing
Deviate from the norm to something
Deviate from the form of nothing
I deviate, farewell to the tribe

Soul volcano
Now erupting
Lava swallows
What used to be
Soul tsunami
Overflowing
Overriding
Reality

Soul volcano
Now erupting
Lava swallows
What used to be
Soul tsunami
Overflowing
Overriding
Reality

Deviate from the form of nothing
Deviate from the norm to something
Deviate from the form of nothing
I deviate, farewell to the tribe

 

one of my all time favourite songs, don't really know the meaning of why that is just reminds me of getting up to face a new day I guess and good chilled out times.

these two just kind of remind me of my favourite I dunno what you would call it weather/season/time of the day getting up so early on winter mornings that its still dark walking through quiet Scottish urban sprawls as they just wake up in the rain and wind on the way to work or school, iv always loved the feeling of being up in the morning while street lamps are still on and its raining who knows why and these songs just remind me of that.

its been emotional (cigar for the first one to get that)

 

Damn that was good. If the rest of their songs are like that I think I'll have found a new favourite band.

 

Love the choices so far - especially Mama Said.

The following track got me through a pretty bad patch when I first went to Uni (probably dates me a bit too ). You tube doesn't really do it justice - it should be played LOUD through a bloody good sound system (sorry, I can't find one with a good video).

And if I can I can add another (love that sax solo):

James Blunt - Goodbye My Lover. It was the first song I heard after I found out dad had cancer, I had a shower that night and put the mp3 on (I had one of those cordless speaker things) and that was the song that came on and I had a cry. Now he's gone when I hear it I think of him, memories through my life of holding his hand and stuff. It's not 100% relevant obviously, but a lot of it is. I used to listen to it a lot when me and my fiancee broke up as well.

 

When I hear any song from Andy McKee's album Art of Motion it just takes me back to better times when I had very few cares in the world. Unfortunately the next year I came back down to earth with a bump and am just getting back on my feet now.

 

Yeah, they got heaps of awesome songs like that one. Check out the song Morphogenesis. You should get their whole discography...you won't be disappointed!

That singer left Scar Symmetry not long ago and joined another band called Solution .45. They're also amazing!
