Ms. Babydoll Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5 has always meant so much to me, it makes me feel love and comfort yet vulnerability all at the same time Reflections (Care Enough) by Mariah Carey is the one song that has made me strong throughout my years of not having a mother because she gave me up, this song gave me strength to keep living U Got It Bad by Usher always makes me feel sad yet safe Link to comment
Belgian girl Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I like to listen Sinead O'Connor for example, or acoustic versions of a song, filmmusic (like Lord of the Rings),.. Link to comment
cm26 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 the song "make me whole" by amel larrieux makes me emotional every time. i hope to feel these words in my own life someday. Darling I want you to listen I stayed up all night, so I can get this thing right And I don't think there's anything missing Cause a person like you, made it easy to do I've waited for so long, to sing to you this song Cause your eyes are the windows to heaven Your smile could heal a million souls Your love completes my existence You're the other half that makes me whole You're the only other half that makes me whole I think the angels are your brothers, yeah They told you about me, said you're just what she needs And I find myself thanking your mother For giving birth to a saint My spirit flies when I say your name If there's one thing that's true It's that I was born to love you And your eyes are the windows to heaven Your smile could heal a million souls Your love completes my existence You're the other half that makes me whole You're the only other half that makes me whole You make my dreams Come true over and, over again And I honestly truly believe You and me are written in the stars I live my whole life through Just giving thanks to you Cause your eyes are the windows to heaven Your smile could heal a million souls Your love completes my existence You're the other half that makes me whole You're the only other half that makes me whole Link to comment
nhenzie Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 I'd have to say Wicked Game by Chris Isaack. It almost puts me in tears whenever i hear it. Link to comment
Ipso Fracto Man Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 The most powerful song I can think of at the moment is one I wrote for my ex-wife as our marriage was ending. She didn't want a divorce but I had lost all trust in her and could see that we were no longer good for each other, so I sat down one night and typed this out to explain my position and take responsibility for all the terrible things that we both had done over the years. "Beautiful" I said the night I met you I had known you for a thousand years Little did we know that there would be a thousand more I couldn't help succumbing to the flavor of your ecstasy But all that's happened since just isn't fair in love or war I'm a liar, a cheater, an opium eater Had me a wife, but I just couldn't keep her There's no one to blame for the loss of the game So go now or join me in going insane Leave me in darkness on my borrowed time People will flock to the light that you shine The desire for higher rewards breaks me down And one of us needs to get out of this town I looked into your dying father's eyes and made a vow Always to protect you, resurrect you if i must But all the roads to Hell are paved with bones of good intentions Beware me in the fast lane driving blinded by mistrust I'm a big fool, a toadstool, a throwback to high school It wasn't your karma that fell in the death pool I dropped from my hands the repair that I need So please turn around now and leave me to bleed Who else was there and so willingly gave Who else will one day be touching my grave Oh, I will die grateful that you came along For no one but you could have held up so strong No one but you could have stood me so long And no one but you could inspire this song Link to comment

savoie Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 almost all of these songs are actually older than me but when i hear them it brings out a powerful emotion. some make me melancholy while others make me want to dance. i guess i appreciate older music vs current stuff. i am drawn to music with soul. this is just a short list - richard (they actually wont let me type his real first name in - how absurd!) clark once said that music is the soundtrack of our lives - i so believe that! at last - etta james what a wonderful world - louis armstrong maggie - rod stewart love train - ojays like a rolling stone - bob dylan anything by george harrison linger - cranberries imagine - john lennon god only knows - beach boys sweet home alabama - lynard skynard one - u2 broken hearted savoir - big head todd into the mystic - van morrison rhymes and reasons - john denver i can't help falling in love with you - elvis mrs. potters lullaby - counting crows moon river - instrumental version breathe - anna nalick layla - eric clapton my way - frank sinatra Abraham, Martin and John - Dion if i could read your mind - gordon lightfoot all andrew lloyd weber music bye bye blackbird - joe cocker the first time - robert flack Link to comment

ava_adore Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 wow theres so many powerful songs, music just reaches out to people that way. If you've ever dealt with drug addiction or your life has been effected by others dealing with drug addiction, "Heroin" by Velvet Underground is THE BEST SONG ABOUT DRUG ADDICTION ever, I'm not even kidding. The lyrics, the intensity, the emotion in this song, gives you a glimpse of what the addict is thinking. It is just an F-ing brilliant piece of music. The song itself is like a heroin trip, the rhythm, the way it builds up and then goes on a different course, its like something you'd expect to experience if you were the user. Link to comment
ava_adore Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Oh and "shine on you crazy diamond" (the live version) by Pink Floyd is probably one of the most EPIC songs I've ever heard. Boy, is it ever a trip. The back-story on it makes it all the more painfully beautiful. Link to comment
