This thread will serve as an active and open thread for the discussion of songs that just have "that effect on you", songs that hit home.

Please speak openly and without reservation.
As a true lover of music, I can appreciate the emotional transference and visceral reaction that music can cause someone.

I Do declare, there's something in the air
Im burning the candle at both ends
Bitter betrayals, skeleton keys
Houses to haunt, well its alright by me
rags to ruin, some foolhardy choices
some would say not a ghost of a chance,
the ghosts in my mind, theyre one of a kind,
they tell me what to do, and its shut down you.

Some things are best just left unsaid

End of the line, End of the line
one door closes, another door closes,
and now your boxed in.
End of the line, End of the Line

Feel eyes inthe trees, the forebodding path,
the turn of the head, i hear it laugh,
it says "hang em now", it says "hang em high"
when you are done, then hail to the sky
Ive been taught to get the fuck up
to dust myself off, and to go it again
The ghosts in my mind, they're one of a kind
they tell me what to do, and its shut down you

Some things are best just left unsaid

End of the line, end of the line
one door closes, another door closes,
and now your boxed in, end of the line, end of the line

SHIT

Bitter betrayals, the foreboding path,
ive come to shut you down, rags to ruin
some foolhardy choices, some would say, not
a ghost of a chance, the ghosts in my mind, they're one of a kind
they tell me what to do, and its shut down you

Some things are best just left unsaid

End of the line, End of the line,
one door closes another door closes
and now your boxed in
End of the line, End of the line. 

per say Spec Deathwatch Theme song



Storm coming in me, bad weather just makes me breathe
Watch as the sky turns grey, life ebbs and flows away
Wait, before I go, Ill make them all eat crow
Play the hand life deals, everything my way, now kneel
Im a tree, roots firm in dirt, Ive had my share of hurt
Move fast cause the time is short, cause the time is short

Dont ask me to lose cause Im born now to win
And Im building this mountain from outside within

All you outsiders, you haters and liars
Your time is just counting so come meet the mountain(x2)

Come meet the mountain!

Storm, strength coming on strong, rain wash away lifes wrongs
Willing straight from the start, strike fear into their heart
Sometimes you wish youd never been born but then here comes the storm
And just as the sky turns black, the voices say attack
Move fast cause the time is short, cause the time is short
Move fast cause the time is short, cause the time is short

Dont ask me to lose cause Im born now to win
And Im building this mountain from outside within

All you outsiders, you haters and liars
Your time is just counting so come meet the mountain(x2)

Come meet the mountain(x4)

Falling, life
Life ebbs and flows away
Dont ask me to lose cause Im born now to win
And Im building this mountain from outside within
All you haters and liars just come meet the mountai

[Spoiler=For the Stabwounds in our Backs]

Silently we bide our time
Soon we'll pay you back
For all the wrongs you've done our kind
For the stab wounds in our backs

You think you're safe, well, live your lie
There's no way you'll escape
The day that all things living die
The day we rise again

Then Ferris father will summon us
And we will rise from death
One million warriors with foaming mouths
To challenge life itself

A horrid ship of dead men's nails
Will bring our ranks ashore
The eastern wind will fill our sails
And your son will hold the oar

You think you're safe, well, live your lie
There's no way you'll escape
The day that all things living die
The day we rise again

Our rusty swords will never rest
So send the best you've got
Into our grinning jaws of death
We'll make their suffering short

So sit there on your golden throne
Soon we will arise
Time for vengeance is coming soon
The time for all to die

[Spoiler=Thousand Years of Oppression]


He hung on the windswept world tree
Whose roots no one knows
For nine whole days, he hung there
Pierced by Gugnir, his spear

Swimming in pain, he peered into the depths
And cried out in agony
Reaching out, he grasped the runes
Before falling back from the abyss

He gave himself unto himself
In a world of sheering pain
Go that we all may live our lives
By the wisdom that he gained

You doubted him and spread their lies
Across the world with sword in hand
You *CENSORED* our souls and stole our right
All for the words of mild-mannered man

You listened to mild-mannered god
And put your faith in deceitful words
Your powertrip was paid by blood
In kindness' name, you spilled our blood

I refuse to submit
To the god you say is kind
I know what's right and it is time
It's time to fight and free our minds

Let me die without fear
As I have lived without it
So shut your mouth and spare my ears
I'm fed up with all your bullshit

After a thousand years of opression
Let the berserks rise again
Let the world hear these words once more
"Save us, oh Lord from the wrath of the Norseman"

Our spirits were forged in snow and ice
To bend like steel forged over fire
We were not made to bend like reed
Or turn the other cheek

He grasped the runes, they're ours to use

Spread more Amon Amarth across the Forums! =D

[Spoiler= At The End of August]


So I lit lanterns to light up all these words
Looking back I know it's what I'd die for
And through all this life
Smashed away all the strife
A friendship I paint
Untouchable

Crawling from the floor
I been there before
There I was staring back at the bottom
Let's make this clear
It came from these tears
Carved across our chests
Loyalty

With the new light there was young hope
To underline the meaning
And carve our names in

At the end of August
The end of
At the end of August
The end of
I'll never replace the ones I first made
Jesus, does anyone?

Well, I can't stand to look at you now
This revelation's out of my hands
Still I can't bear the thought of you now
This complication's leaving me scared

Stay when you think you want me
Pray when you need advice
Hey, keep your sickness off me
Trying to get through

Blame all your weakness on me
Shame that I'm so contrived
Hey, keep your fingers off me
Why can't I get through?

You think you have the best of intentions
I cannot shake the taste of blood in my mouth

I keep on thinking that it's all done and all over now
You keep on thinking you can save me, save me
My ship is sinking, but it's all good and I can't go down
You got me thinking that the party's all over

Well, I can't stand to be with myself
This liberation's seemingly rare
And I can't stand the taste of your mouth
This sublimation's out of my hands

You stay 'cause you think you want me
Pray when you need advice
Hey, keep your sickness off me
I'm trying to get through

Shame you could take this from me
Bane on an empty mind
Hey, keep your fingers off me
Why can't I get through?

I keep on thinking that it's all done and all over now
You keep on thinking you can save me, save me
My ship is sinking, but it's all good and I can't go down
You got me thinking that the party's all over

Lay down
Just stay down
Lay down
Because I'm trying to get through

Say what you want
But you're not gonna win this time
Take what you want
But just leave me alive

Say what you want
But you're not gonna win this time
Take what you want
But just leave me alive

I keep on thinking that it's all done and all over now
You keep on thinking you can save me, save me
My ship is sinking, but it's all good and I can't go down
Still you believe that we can start all over

Lay down
Just stay down
Lay down
Because the party's all over

Lay down
Just stay down
Lay down
Because I'm trying to get through

A bit of a mix up here in genres, but the first is one of my all time favorite songs, both lyrically and for his simplistic depiction of the lost of innocence and accepting happiness in the little things you have...



I'm going to rent myself a house
In the shade of the freeway
Going to pack my lunch in the morning
And go to work each day
And when the evening rolls around
I'll go on home and lay my body down
And when the morning light comes streaming in
I'll get up and do it again
Amen
Say it again
Amen

I want to know what became of the changes
We waited for love to bring
Were they only the fitful dreams
Of some greater awakening?
I've been aware of the time going by
They say in the end it's the wink of an eye
And when the morning light comes streaming in
You'll get up and do it again
Amen

Caught between the longing for love
And the struggle for the legal tender
Where the sirens sing and the Church bells ring
And the junk man pounds his fender
Where the veterans dream of the fight
Fast asleep at the traffic light
And the children solemnly wait
For the icecream vendor
Out into the cool of the evening
Strolls the pretender
He knows that all his hopes and dreams
Begin and end there

Ah, the laughter as they run through the night
Leaving nothing but to choose off and fight
And tear at the world with all their might
While the ships bearing their dreams sail out of sight
I'm going to find myself a girl
Who can show me what laughter means
And we'll fill in the missing colors
In each other's paint by number dreams
And then we'll put our dark glasses on
And we'll make love until our strength is gone
And when the morning light comes streaming in
We'll get up and do it again
Get it up again

I'm going to be a happy idiot
And struggle for the legal tender
Where the ads take aim and lay their claim
To the heart and the soul of the spender
And believe in whatever may lie
In those things that money can buy
Though true love could have been a contender
Are you there?
Say a prayer for the pretender
Who started out so young and strong
Only to surrender

Say a prayer for the pretender
Are you there
For the pretender?
Say a prayer for the pretender
Are you there
For the pretender?
Are you there
For the pretender?

Then thanks to last night....



"Sunshine"

Ain't no way to explain or say
How painful the hangover was today
In front of the toilet, hands and knees
Trying to breathe in between the dry heaves
My baby made me some coffee
Afraid that if I drink some it's probably coming right back out me
Couple of advil, relax and chill
At a standstill with how bad I feel
I think I need to smell fresh air
So I stepped out the back door and fell down the stairs
The sunlight hit me dead in the eye
Like it's mad I gave half the day to last night
My bad sight made me trip on my ass right into that patch of grass like that's life
All of a sudden, I realize something
The weather is amazing, even the birds are bumpin
Stood up and took a look and a breath
And there's that bike that I forgot that I possessed
Never really seen exercise as friendly
But I thing something's telling me to ride that ten speed
The brakes are broken, it's alright
The tires got air and the chain seems tight
Hopped on and felt the summertime,
It reminds me of one of them Musab lines like

[Chorus 2X]

Sunshine, sunshine, it's fine
I feel it in my skin, warming up my mind,
Sometimes you gotta give in to win,
I love the days when it shines, whoa let it shine

If I could I would keep this feeling in a plastic jar
Bust it out whenever someone's actin hard
Settle down, barbeque in the backyard
The kids get treats and old folks get classic cars
Every day that gets to pass is a success
Every woman looks better in a sun dress
The sunshine's an excuse to shoot hoops, get juice
Show improve their moves and let loose
I hear voices, I see smiles to match em
Good times and you can feel it in the fashion
Even though the heat cooks up the action
The streets still got butterflies
Enough kids to catch 'em
Ridin my bike around these lakes man
Feelin like I finally figured out my escape plan
Take it all and the day started off all wrong
Somehow now that hangover is all gone
Ain't nothing like the sound of the leaves
When the breeze penetrates these southside trees
Leanin' up against one, watchin the vibe
Forgettin' all about the stress, thanking god I'm alive
It's so simple, I had to keep the song simple
When I get home I'm gonna open all the windows
Feelin all right, stopped at a stop sign
A car pulled up, bumpin Fresh Prince's Summertime

[Chorus 2X]
