NiN - Hurt.
Simon and Garfunkel - Sound of Silence.
It's interesting how original Hurt by NiN has very different vibes than its cover by Johnny Cash. It's like it's different song, but still the same. Both deep, just different.
The best way I can describe the emotional difference is that Reznor's version depicts ruinous destruction of a young person's life, and Cash's version depicts a lifetime of regret. Their literal ages obviously help convey it, but the arrangement and style really sell it
Long time Nine inch nails fan. Love everything heβs done.
Hear Johnny Cash do Hurt.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Yeah that song hits quite hard
I didn't know it by name, but it's an iconic classic. I immediately recognized it.
"Hits hard" may be subjective and situational, but I guess it can be interpreted as emotionally touches you?
Ever since I have my own children Zombie by The Cranberries hits twice as hard.
Ugly Kid Joe - Cats in the Cradle
I'm currently re-aligning my entire life with the goal of not becoming the dad in this song.
Originally from Harry Chapin.
Part of this song is about how fast life goes by, not just the dad not being there. Sad to say you can't fix that.
Selena - No Me Queda MΓ‘s
Arctic Monkeys - 505
Eminem - Headlights
GnR - November Rain
Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley.
And, as mentioned, Mr Cash's haunting and painful rendition of Hurt.
So, I almost never listen to this song because somehow it always makes me so so sad. I am a metal guy, I love heavy shit, from Kill'Em All to Watch The World Burn; but an old friend passed me this song once and it broke me into pieces.
It's the saddest lullaby ever.
I recommend this fan-made lyric video specially for those who don't have English as first language. I find it funny that it doubles on views the original song.

Cats in the Cradle - Harry Chapin
I'm doing my best to not let my life be like the song, but that's tough...
Pink Floyd - High Hopes
I have so many, but today I was listening to the radio and was really getting into Elton John's "I'm Still Standing", Heart's "Crazy On You", and Peter Schilling's "Major Tom". It was truly a good day on the radio.
Ghost - Badflower
99 Red Balloons - Nena
Linkin Park - One More Light
For me, I've gotta say "Machine Messiah", by Yes. It's one of the longest, and most interesting songs I've heard. Most songs have just one "mood" explored in them, but this one shifts from joyous to melancholy and back multiple times, and does so perfectly. Plus, I'm very nostalgic about it since it was one of my favorite songs as a child. Drama was the one of the first two albums I bought as a kid, almost entirely because that one song was on it. (Also--is that a Sonic pfp, op? A person of culture, I see π)
HAHA yes it surely is. Shadow with a watermelon helmet is one of my favorite Sonic memes.
Sonic is maybe for kids but it's my childhood so I do not care what people say about it. Anyway thanks for the comment π
Bones in the Water by Battle of Mice. I've never heard that level of unhinged screaming in my life. Plus it's creepy as fuck
Charles Bradleyβs cover of Changes by Black Sabbath.
He sings it dedicated to his mom and that gets me every time.
Toy Soldiers by Martika
Everclear - Everything to Everyone
It has one of my favorite lines in a song ever: "I think you are blind to the fact that the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down."
Great post idea! My list is based mostly on nostalgia for a certain period of time in my life:
Fog (again) - Live - Radiohead
Pyramid Song - Radiohead
Fake Empire - The National
Hurt - Johnny Cash
Headlong - The Frames
Scattered Black and Whites - Elbow
Grace Under Pressure - Elbow
StarΓ‘lfur - Sigur RΓ³s
HoppΓpolla - Sigur RΓ³s
October - U2
BΓ΄a - Duvet (Acoustic Version), it's an alternate version of the opening song to the fantastic show Serial Experiments Lain. I don't have any particularly impactful memories associated with it, but for some reason it just gets me feelin. Night walks with this song just hit different.
Holy diver man
Also do the evolution and hellraiser
Pink Floyd - marooned.
Kill 'em All era Metallica, or the MTV acoustic Alice in Chains.
I love Layne's voice! AIC was one of my favorite bands.
Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen
Ocean Lab - Breaking Ties (https://youtu.be/g13nsQaCxbg )
Great breakup song if you want to just let it out
John Farnham - Help (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dv54giOSRKs )
This is a cover of the Beatles song. Very different vibe to the original
Realising now my music tastes are a bit weird...
Wake me up when September ends
Lay low. Tiesto.
Summer beach when I was young. Carefree. Good looking. Partying. Ahhhh the good ol days. π
I always hail back to Marmalade and "Reflections of My Life."
The Other Side by Public Service Broadcasting really drew me in the first time I listened to it.
Also Open Your Eyes by Snow Patrol gives me the feels for some reason.
The Other Side just hits right in the good parts of humanity. I just can't help but be amazed that humans did that whenever I listen to that song.
The Taxpayers - Go Fetch a Priest
