Post by: Blind_FaithX on June 11, 2009, 12:55:05 PM
A lot of songs. But here's a few that comes to my mind

- Guns N'Roses: Estranged, November Rain (especially with the video; the guitar solo in the desert in front of the church is musically and visually perfect)
- Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here
- Metallica: Fade To Black, To Live Is To Die
- Blackfield: All
- Porcupine Tree: Collapse Light Into Earth
- Heavenly: Dust to Dust
- Iced Earth: Question of Heaven
- Megadeth: A Tout Le Monde
- Pain of Salvation: A lot of their songs, but I'd say Iter Impius
- Dream Theater: Disappear, Another Day
- Radiohead: How To Disappear Completly
- Avenged Sevenfold: Dear God
- Supertramp: Don't Leave Me Now

Yeah, that's not bad. And all of these songs are in my favorites of each band. I totally agree with Steven Wilson: sad music is the most beautiful music. It makes you feels such emotions...

Alice in Chains - "Nutshell" - MTV Unplugged

One of the absolute saddest songs I have ever heard. As I mentioned in another thread, it's absolutely creepy and sad when you realize Layne's singing is a foreshadow of his own situation.

The album version is much better but it's an outstanding song. I think Rotten Apple is slightly more emotional.

Anything by Depswa.  Seriously, these guys know raw emotion.  The Prom Song is probably the most 'out there' with expressing that emotion.

Post by: ThroughHerEyesDude6 on September 02, 2010, 12:57:58 AM
I know these two songs have already been posted, but I have a deep memory with "The Spirit Carries On" and "Wish You Were Here".

His name was Mike.
These songs really helped, and it's thanks to them that i got out what I needed to. So thank you DT and PF.


On Another Note, these four albums take me back to the summer of '04:

Slipknot - Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses
Fear Factory - Archetype
Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache
Velvet Revolver - Contraband
