Help Needed Please

Voices in the Fan
Words and music by Devin Townsend © 1997 HevyDevy Records

Who's the weakest now?
Caught up in the wire
I'm already gone
Who's the weakest now?

It's the grey days that
I'll remember the most
It's the grey times in the water
Before morning

I won't be alone
Think of me at night
Send my love to home
I'll be alright

It's the grey days that
I'll remember the most
It's the grey times in the water
Before morning

And it's only tonight that
I'll be able to leave
And it's only the weak
That cry for me in morning

Because tonight there will be no sleep
Tonight it comes for me
Please, help them understand
I've become the voices in the fan

Goodbye
 
From MDB I'd recommend Two Winters Only. Cry of Mankind could fit as well.

Also, I think Sand and Mercury by the Gathering is very sad.

Later stuff by Raison D'etre, the albums In Sadness... and The Empty Hollow Unfolds.
Penitent stuff is good, I have only heard the album Melancholia, Det Sorte Tjern is epic.
Luminous (off mp3.com) have a track called The Sea, atmospheric and sad in a way.
This Mortal Coil track Ivy and Neet would be great for the situation, as is most of their music.
Desiderii Marginis' dark ambient/industrial music can be saddening.
 
Here are a few things I would put in the compilation:

Dream Theater - Space Dye Vest
Hagalaz Runedance - Your World In My Eyes
Cruachan - Susie Moran
Burzum - Tomhet
Empyrium - The Ensemble Of Silence
Psychotic Waltz - My Grave
Anathema - Lost Control
King Crimson or In The Woods - Epitaph
 
Black Heart... check out the rest of their first album... It is awesome.

Harlequin is almost as beautiful as Flowers... but in a different way.
 
well, could i recommend some nick cave? (the whole "no more shall we part" album)
hm some others...
sentenced - the river
tiamat - do you dream of me
a perfect circle - 3 libras
type o negative - love you to death
tool - disposition
pearl jam - oceans, garden, black
well, except sentenced, you can see these are mostly non-metal, but definitely check them out. oooh, how can i forget this one:
danzig - sistinas
boy, i love that song.
 
Sentenced is always good..

Fragile comes to mind... Mourn, The Rain Comes Falling Down, No Tomorrow...

All of their first one is great, and the best songs off the other two are: Undone, You Look How I feel, The Gobbler, Dead In The Dirt...

I haven't actually heard 'I remember being alive' because i can't find it anywhere, but it is apparrently really cool.
