J_Stewart Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Not many songs can 'get to me' as it were, but Sam Cooke's classic A Change is Gonna Come is certainly a exception, fuckin' beautiful... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48K5Y0421Ig On a brighter note, it doesn't matter where I am, whenever I hear this I always feel happy, safe in the knowledge that it's safe to dance... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7movKfyTBII&ob=av3e Party time has never been so HSE friendly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dariusz Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Black by Pearl Jam. One part of the song in particular has a deep effect on me. I had a lump in my throat when I saw them playing it live in Manchester. My favourite song of all time. I guess you're talking about the "I know some day you'll have a beautiful life...." bit? Ive a few favourite versions of this, but the acoustic version one below is pretty awesome when the whole crowd sing it. Get shivers every time i hear it And totally agree with Jimmy Eat World's 23, another amazing song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get shivers every time i hear it And totally agree with Jimmy Eat World's 23, another amazing song I came in here to post Black aswell, its just incredible. Theres so many Pearl Jam songs that stir up emotions too, Given to Fly and Betterman also really get to me. Anyways, this song by Porcupine Tree just makes me think back to my childhood, and of my siblings, for some reason. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB8w4h1_na8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairn Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Over the last 10 years or so I have spent much of it in various shitholes of the world - If I am feeling a bit homesick and this song comes on the ipod it is garenteed to get me welling up. It was used really well in a Tennents advert years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SodjesSixteenIncher Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Great choice Bairn. Always gets the hairs on my arm quivering. Anyway, I have another song to add. A song about sacrifice, human connection and the attenuate sporadicy of true love. The writer and performer of this song always delivers it with such a passionate fervor, that can only be attained by achieving a truely mutual affection with another human being.

Bairn Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 This is a song by an Australian guy whom I was working with last year out in Uruzgan province in Afghanistan. He is the son of a very senior Aussie politician and himself filled a diplomatic role - he is also a very accomplished singer songwriter. This song always makes me reflect on what the f**k I'm doing especially at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Stuart. Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 A very touching song about one of Franks friends who died of cancer a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_ict Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 For some reason, this triggers a lot of nostalgia. Don't mean to seem sentimental (a big poof) but it just reminds me of how simple things used to be and the fact that life is almost moving too fast. When I broke up with my last bird, i got drunk and ended up watching Chuck at four in the morning. This song came on. Naturally, I put it on repeat on my Ipod, curled up in the fetal position and quietly sang it out loud for a good hour until i passed out. Still makes me well up.God bless Brian Fallon, and god bless large doses of Drambuie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcXYz0gtJeM Something about this song gets me everytime, especially as Cobain's voice gets more strained towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, Ben Gibbard is one of the greatest song writers on the planet and DCFC are very under appreciated Will listen to these two songs in a bit. Not a huge death cab for cutie fan, but one song I do like is probably apt for this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMartyn86 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Fouri dal mondo by ludovico einaudi.
