This is the crybaby thread...where you admit to hearing a song (preferably by S-X) that was so powerful and moving, you actually got really fucking close to tearing up or actually DID in fact, tear up or more.
We all (hopefully) have heard a song from someone that has moved us this much, and seeing how this is a Symphony X thread, it would only be mostly appropriate to tell my first time ever tearing up while listening to a song was in fact, a S-X song.
I had skimmed through a few S-X songs off of the Odyssey until recently such as The Turning, Awakenings, and Accolade II. I also caught myself being guilty of this on a few other albums of theirs but thats not important.
My story is basically this: I heard Paradise Lost (the song) for the first time and kept it on repeat over and over and over until my ears bled because it moved me SO much. I almost came to tears when first hearing Paradise Lost, but it didn't move me quite enough I guess...but it obviously is still a mind blowing song. This brings me to the mother fucking Accolade II.
I had heard The Accolade (original) awhile back and just kinda said "yeah this song is pretty fuckin' good" and went on my way listening to the rest of their catalog. Well, yesterday I finally forced myself to listen to Accolade II in it's entirety and let me tell you...I almost balled like a baby (needless to say, I teared up). That fucking song moved me so hard I could have died right then and been happy. I really can't explain why it touched me so much or what was going on; all I know is I am more than humbled by this "new" song I have found of theirs and am so gracious to have found a band with such power and emotion.
So...I leave you to go on and tell me and the others here of your either S-X song moment like this, or if you must (try and keep it in the family), another band's song.
Adieu!
