THOSE musical moments

[Ziuwarian]

You know there are those moments, parts of songs that make one just shiver, get one close to tears or some similar reaction? Cause of some instrumentation, notes, words?

I'd just like to see what kind of these things move you.

This came up cause I listened to Bathory - Through blood by thunder - and this intro really got me!

"For as long as the grass grows...
For as long as the stream flows...
And the sun shines down onto us...
Only they who walk amongst the clouds know
For how long the wind blows...
And the sky is blue above us..."

This voice and the guitars to it! Just chilling!

Waylander - Keen of knowledge

"Truth - the root of the tongue
Wisdom - the breath of speech
Secrets untold, guarded forever
Shares with only a gifted few
...

Serenity beyond definition
Tranquillity beyond words
Bold in righteousness
Valiant in justice

In the sacred grove at night time
Rites performed, so divine
Invoking the powers of the Gods
Within constraints of nature laws
And from the earth
And the air
And the universe
Gods are answering
Answer my call"

Just some I listened to recently

 

[Blackspirit]

Thyrfing - Home Again
Borknagar - Colossus
Iced Earth - Consequences
Ensiferum - Token of Time + Little Dreamer
(gives me energy)
Opeth - Bleak, but basically all their albums! hehe
Embraced - The End And Here We All Die +
Memento Of Emotions
Otyg - Trollslottet

Uhm... I can't remember any more at the time...
But those songs kick so much arse!! It hurst!
I love it! Sometimes music is so powerfull it
makes me want to explode!

These songs are perfect all the way through,
but there are also loads of songs that only have
small details that make my skin crawl! I'll be sure
to put them in this thread when I re-discover
those moments! )

 

[Collapse Generation]

One extremely moving part in a song, is in The Drapery Falls:

"Counting nocturnal hours..." and "Spiralling into the..."

Awesome, breathtaking. Makes me want to move to another world.

 

[Iceheart]

Eternal Tears of Sorrow's "the river flows frozen" is very emotional...
And there's a composition from the classic genre: "Elegy for Brown (E.M.)" from the film "Casualities of war"...That ones hard to stand without being near the tears...

DWD's going to agree with you on that one... but I won't.


For me, there aren't many things that'll bring me near tears, but...
Sonata Arctica - Letter to Dana, but only when I'm singing along... when I just listen, it doesn't seem to work. odd.
My Dying Bride - My Hope, the Destroyer. The part around 4 min (?) "You're still mine, my lover..."
Anathema - The Orphan.

a couple others, but I can't think of them right now...

 

[Final_Vision]

-Forest of Shadows - Eternal Autumn cry: beautiful...listened to it everytime i feel like shit...)

-Amon Amarth - Victorious March (that intro with the 2 break downs OH MY GOD )

-Death - Voice of the Soul cry: beautiful, rest in peace chuck, one of the best metal instrumentals of all time)

-Vintersorg - Enigmatic Spirit ( a jester from hell and the shadows all mighty!!!!! I LOVE that chorus, so powerful)

-In Flames - The Jester Race (the final verse and the solo, beautiful and awe inspiring)

-Blind Guardian - Lost in the Twilight Hall (the whole song is just full of energy and very uplifting, chorus is amazing, always raises my spirits!)

-Suidakra - Wartunes (the section just after the intro with the clean vox.....love it, chills everytime)

-Dark Tranquillity - Auctioned (the whole song is so emotional for me.....the end breaks my heart "did I miss the auction, where my life went under the club..." Ah.......


many many more but I wont bore you guys

 

[Morningrise]

Opeth- "We Survey the scoooopes!!!" section in Advent
Emperor- The part in Empty where he screams "STARVING HIM INTO INSANITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!" and EVERYTHING stops except for his beautiful scream, gives me goosebumps just thinkign about it!
Summoning- All of Like some Snow-White Marble Eyes
Emperor- ALL of Icaros
Borknagar- Colossus
ALL OF AGALLOCH....
I could go on and on but thats enough...

 

[Morningrise]

I FORGOT ONE!!!!
How could I forget this.....
Siebenburgen- Ibi Lubavit Lamia
This is the last song off of their Grimjaur and is probably the most beautiful song I have ever heard. It makes me cry very often. It is A folk tune with acoustic guitars and female vocals and eventually becomes even more emotional with a heavy distorted section. I will now require that EVERYONE HEAR THIS SONG!!!! Find it, or contact me and I will personally send it to you over AIM, or email or something, it is a must hear.

Haha, cool.
