DT Songs That Best Convey Each Emotion

[Implode]

I was thinking of this, and I came up with some obvious ones:

Anger - Honor Thy Father
Sadness - Disappear
Fear - Vacant

But I couldn't think one completely happy song. There is probably one out there...maybe Finally Free?

But anyway, name some songs that you think are the best at conveying a certain emotion!

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

Relief - A Nightmare to Remember

[JasonScandopolous]

Relief - A Nightmare to Remember

Also, inexplicable anger (RORORO)

[FretMuppet]

Panic attack - Panic Attack (if you count panic as an emotion)

[jsem]

sadness.. I was thinking The Best of Times

[FretMuppet]

Hope - The Answer Lies Within
Sadness/heartbreak - Space Dye Vest & Disappear

[7thHanyou]

But I couldn't think one completely happy song. There is probably one out there...maybe Finally Free?

You're joking, right?

I think mostly, if not entirely happy songs are Another Day, Take the Time, and Surrounded.  And hell, Learning to Live too.  They deal with serious emotions, but they handle them in a mature and optimistic way, I think.  So that's half of I&W.  Also, The Spirit Carries On and I Walk Beside You.

Hope- The Spirit Carries On, Another Day, Learning to Live

Some crossover with "happy."

Determination- 6:00

Apathy- New Millennium, maybe?

[IdoSC]

Faith or w/e - The Answer Lies Within
Anger - Burning My Soul (either live or FII demos for the win )

[Implode]

Well, I specifically had in mind the upbeat verse where Victoria was going to break up with the Miracle to be with her one true love, the Sleeper.

[RuRoRul]

Maybe one happy part for Finally Free.

Take The Time possible for happiness. Even though Learning To Live has a positive feel it's not really overly happy. Neither is Take The TIme I suppose but it sounds happier, same with Surrounded.

Honestly for happy though the first thing I think of is the WHAAIM ALIVE AGAIN part of About To Crash Reprise.

[PlaysLikeMyung]

Sadness: The only correct answer is Space-Dye Vest

Then 5 seconds later it's depressing. 

[ZBomber]

Sadness: The only correct answer is Space-Dye Vest

Disappear?

[reneranucci]

Sadness: The only correct answer is Space-Dye Vest

Disappear?

This. SDV feels more like whining, Disappear is truly sad.

[Dream_Theater01]

Sadness- Another Day
Anger- As I Am

[Metro]

Horny - Erotomania

[Occasional_Madman]

The Mirror - Regret

Trial of Tears - Lonliness

[7thHanyou]

Horny - Erotomania

And Home, of course.

[Gadough]

sadness.. I was thinking The Best of Times

I would argue that The Best of Times isn't all about sadness. He's mourning the death of his father, yes, but there's a silver lining () in that he had such a great relationship with him. He's mourning, but in doing so, he's remembering the good times, and there's some happiness there.

[Adami]

I think Awake covers most of them pretty well.

[wasp2020]

I don't know, Another Day is a pretty sad ballad about death n stuff, LTL is not much better but does have more uplifting moments. Take The Time might, but it's really more just upbeat in musical style, and motivational in lyrics, but not really HAPPY.

Surrounded is clearly the most happy and uplifting, both musically and thematically. Bubbly synth melody, lyrics about finding love, sonically light and easy. It does have those melancholic intro and outros, but only the intro is lyrically sad, the outro flips it around.

[Jirpo]

Sadness - The Best of Times, Another Day
Loss - Space Dye Vest
Happiness - Take the Time
Panic - Panic Attack
Relief - ANTR.

The happiest DT songs I can think of are New Millennium and Surrounded.

KEEP YOUR HEAD UP

[ddtonfire]

Lyrics aside, happiness:
About to Crash
Solitary Shell

both songs make me think of springtime

Sadness: The only correct answer is Space-Dye Vest

Disappear?

This. SDV feels more like whining, Disappear is truly sad.

In an artificial way. SDV is infinitely more genuine.

Truth. I remember an interview where James was asked what the meaning behind Disappear was, and it was just a scenario he came up with. Not to say the song isn't touching, because it certainly is. While SDV of course came from Kevin's real-life experience, which I feel just makes it seem/feel a lot more sincere.

[Jirpo]

I don't really find Disappear that emotional TBH, whereas SDV is very sad

[Tomislav95]

Sadness - Take away my pain
Happiness - About to Crash(maybe?)
Anger - The Mirror
Lonely - Surrounded
Vacant - A Change of Seasons

[Ben_Jamin]

Sadness/Grief/Hope - The Best Of Times

[John94]

Victory - Hell's Kitchen

Just listening to the outro makes it feel like you have achieved something momentous.

[rumborak]

DT is seriously lacking a silly song. Like Rush's "I think I'm going bald" or Genesis' "Counting out time".

[Ben_Jamin]

Can't believe no one has said this

Love - Home

I actually respect that about DT.  They don't go for humor...they craft each song with a serious attitude.

Did you forget about Dark Eternal Night? 

Maybe its just me but I find that pretty silly
