For me it's "We won't be a alone" by Feint feat. Laura Brehm. I just have nostalgia attached to it and it brings back some nice summer memories.

This post is also for song recommendations since I listen to the same songs for years and I guess I wanna hear something new.

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

YouTube: Johnny Cash - Hurt

I didn't know it by name, but it's an iconic classic. I immediately recognized it.

If "Cat's In The Cradle" doesn't get you, you are not a father.

"Hits hard" may be subjective and situational, but I guess it can be interpreted as emotionally touches you?

[–] kurcatovium@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Yerbouti@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Originally from Harry Chapin.

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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.

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.

Terrible Things, by Mayday Parade.

[–] psion1369@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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.

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 πŸ˜‰)

[–] patak@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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 😁

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 Bradley’s 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."

[–] Mishmash2000@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[–] spacebot3000@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

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...

I always hail back to Marmalade and "Reflections of My Life."

[–] florge@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
