  1. What is the most depressed/depressing song?

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted

    Hurt-Nine Inch Nails

    I hurt myself today

    To see if I still feel

    I focus on the pain

    The only thing that's real

    The needle tears a hold

    The old familiar sting

    Try to kill it all away

    But I remember everything

    [Chorus:]

    What have I become

    My sweetest friend

    Everyone I know goes away

    In the end

    And you could have it all

    My empire of dirt

    I will let you down

    I will make you hurt

    I wear this crown of thorns

    Upon my liar's chair

    Full of broken thoughts

    I cannot repair

    Beneath the stains of time

    The feelings disappear

    You are someone else

    I am still right here

    [Chorus:]

    What have I become

    My ssweetest friend

    Everyone I know goes away

    In the end

    And you could have it all

    My empire of dirt

    I will let you down

    I will make you hurt

    If I could start again

    A million miles away

    I would keep myself

    I would find a way

  3. Do Your Family Share Your Tastes?

    My brother and I have basically the same taste in music.

    I introduced my parents into Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and most of classic rock, even though they were around during that time(they're in their 50s). It's quite sad actually, my mom STILL confuses Pink Floyd with Led Zeppelin, Money was on the radio and she said "I know who this is, it's Led Zeppelin!" :doh:

  4. Why does thrash/death metal suck ?

    There is artful anger and there is anger for anger's sake. Unfortunately the new fade for metal(because they give a bad name to the rest of metal) is the "let's scream our lungs out because it's cool without having any musical talent", Korn, Slipknot, Disturbed, ICP etc would fall under that category.

    Now you could say that Helter Skelter is "angry", but I think of that as more of "artful anger", as is Metallica, Iron Maiden, Dillinger Escape Plan, Judas Priest, early Napalm Death, The Stooges(even though they're not metal), Megadeth etc.

    Wild Horses

    Childhood living is easy to do

    The things you wanted I bought them for you

    Graceless lady you know who I am

    You know I can't let you slide through my hands

    Wild horses, couldn't drag me away

    Wild wild horses couldn't drag me away

    I watched you suffer a dull aching pain

    Now you decided to show me the same

    No sweeping exits or off stage lines

    Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind

    Wild horses, couldn't drag me away

    Wild wild horses couldn't drag me away

    I know I've dreamed you a sin and a lie

    I have my freedom but I don't have much time

    Faith has been broken tears must be cried

    Let's do some living after we die

    Wild horses, couldn't drag me away

    Wild wild horses we'll ride them someday

    Wild horses, couldn't drag me away

    Wild wild horses we'll ride them someday

    No Expectations

    Take me to the station

    And put me on a train

    I've got no expectations

    To pass through here again

    Once I was a rich man and

    Now I am so poor

    But never in my sweet short life

    Have I felt like this before

    You heart is like a diamond

    You throw your pearls at swine

    And as I watch you leaving me

    You pack my peace of mind

    Our love was like the water

    That splashes on a stone

    Our love is like our music

    Its here, and then its gone

    So take me to the airport

    And put me on a plane

    I got no expectations

    To pass through here again

    Shine A Light

    Saw you stretched out in Room Ten O Nine

    With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye.

    Oh, couldn't see to get a line on you, my sweet honey love.

    Berber jewelry jangling down the street,

    Making bloodshot eyes at every woman that you meet.

    Could not seem to get a high on you, my sweet honey love.

    May the good Lord shine a light on you,

    Make every song your favorite tune.

    May the good Lord shine a light on you,

    Warm like the evening sun.

    When you're drunk in the alley, baby, with your clothes all torn

    And your late night friends leave you in the cold gray dawn.

    Just seemed too many flies on you, I just can't brush them off.

    Angels beating all their wings in time,

    With smiles on their faces and a gleam right in their eyes.

    Whoa, thought I heard one sigh for you,

    Come on up, come on up, now, come on up now.

    May the good Lord shine a light on you,

    Make every song you sing your favorite tune.

    May the good Lord shine a light on you,

    Warm like the evening sun.

    Nuff said.

    I'll pass on CeeCee's song and do Batman's song...

    It just flat out rocks and is more nihilistic than any Sex Pistols song(beside Bodies.)

    By the way it's Search and Destroy, Seek and Destroy is by Metallica.

    End Of The Night-The Doors

  18. When music speaks louder than words

    Mryan's post made me think about something.

    What are some songs that "touch" you in some way withOUT lyrics(such as a great guitar solo or a classical piece etc.)

    A more difficult question is what JR asked, why does it move you? And I can't think of answer to that...

    Here are some songs that "touch" me in that way(off the top of my head):

    Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D, Allegro Moderato played by Heiftez

    Beethovin's 7th, Allegretto

    The solo to Machine Gun and The Star Spangled Banner-Hendrix

    Three O' Clock Blues-Clapton/BB King

  22. Music or Lyrics

    in Music Discussion

    For me, I think it's 80% the music, sure the lyrics made a big difference but they're not everything. The perfect example would be The Final Cut-Pink Floyd or Amused To Death-Roger Waters, both have amazing lyrics but musically they suck and both are really hard to listen to because of that.

  23. Iggy Pop

    "The Stooges didn't sell many records at the time, but lost kids around the world who tuned in, kids who started bands and gave themselves names like Ramone, Rotten, Vicious and Strummer in tribute."

    -Rob Sehffield from Rolling Stone.

    I loved Iggy and the Stooges, I saw Iggy live a couple of times and it was amazing

    Lucky you. :o

    By OSCAR WELLS GABRIEL II, Associated Press Writer Fri Sep 16, 8:56 PM ET

    WASHINGTON - They came to see B.B. King. But before the night was over, the hundreds who lined up at a bookstore in Washington D.C. could be forgiven for thinking the blues legend had really come to see them.

    As the line snaked toward a table where he recently signed copies of his book, King held court, telling one fellow he wished he was still as young and handsome as he was. To a young woman he said, "There's nothing prettier than a woman with dimples." Others got a handshake or a smile as they thanked him for a song or performance that meant a lot to them.

    And each got an autograph on their newly minted copy of "The B.B. King Treasures" (Bullfinch Press).

    Around his neck hung his latest honor: a medallion from the

    Library of Congress proclaiming him a "Living Legend." Though deserving of the title, King seems more resigned that proud.

    "At 80," he says, "I'm not really ashamed to hear people say it."

    King turned 80 on Friday. He still performs, has a CD in the works, and a museum dedicated to his life is to open next year in his native Mississippi.

    For a man who has met four sitting presidents (both Bushes, Gerald Ford and

    Bill Clinton) and one Pope (John Paul II), King says it was his home state that gave him the biggest thrill of his career so far.

    On February 15, the Mississippi Senate and Gov. Haley Barbour honored him with B.B. King Day.

    "I cried, because I never believed that yours truly or any black person like myself would ever be honored there as they honored me."

    Despite the state's troubled racial past, King says Mississippi has gone through "quite a change," and these days he feels at home there.

    His close ties to the Gulf Coast region has King worried these days, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. But unlike some celebrities like the rapper Kanye West, King doesn't believe the slow response reflects a lack of sensitivity for the mostly poor and mostly black victims.

    Administration officials "are doing the best they know how to do," he said. At the same time, he allows that if he were among those affected, he might feel differently.

    As for those who say New Orleans shouldn't be rebuilt, King takes a page out of history for his response: "Galveston (Texas) was devastated just like New Orleans is today ... it was built back and better."

    "New Orleans will be built again, and better."

    Though he remains popular and is widely viewed as the man who epitomizes the blues, King is not without his critics. Some detractors say he performs a derivative form of the blues; others say his brand lacks the depth it should have.

    King has heard them all, and isn't fazed. He says all the naysayers do is make him feel "like I've been black twice."

    While he has a ready answer for critics, King draws a blank when asked why so few African-Americans appreciate the blues. He shakes his head slowly and chuckles: "When you find out, you let me know and we'll talk about it."

    At 80, one thing King does talk about is his mortality. He has diabetes and other health problems, and his walk is a slow shuffle. Asked what he'd like people to think of when they hear his name, he sees the question for what it is, an attempt to coax a comment that can be used, if needed, for his obituary.

    And he obliges.

    "When I pass on I would like people to think of me as a guy who loved people and wanted to be loved by them. I'd like for people to think of me as a next door neighbor, one that they could trust."
