Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name

Surprised no one has ever said this one yet. I think its fairly sad and haunting at the same time, being that its about death and that nothing can be done to stop it.

I don't know about sad, I mean he is a condemned murderer.  Maybe regretful is a better term to describe it.  (either way, epic fucking song!!!)

A lot of Tori Amos songs move me to tears but there is one in particular that is impossible for me to listen to without crying: Gold Dust.

Some others:

Tori Amos - Toast
Tori Amos - I Can't See New York
Stevie Wonder - The Secret Life of Plants
Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Alice in Chains - Dirt
Metallica - Fade to Black
Loreena McKennitt - Bonny Portmore
Gino Vannelli - Parole Per Mio Padre

There are tons more, just can't think of them right now.


YES!!

His crime was never said in the song.

True, but I'm sure he's not condemned for public masturbation.

That Loreena McKennitt song I listed, Bonny Portmore, is reeeally sad. It's about an ancient oak forest in Ireland that was completely leveled to use the wood to build war ships. There was one tree that was sacred and it was chopped down too.

Memory - The Seatbelts (Cowboy Bebop tune)

Not this song exactly, but the tune that the music box in 'Waltz for Venus' plays always stuck with me. It was the music for the adult swim promo that introduced me to the series, and is absolutely wonderful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2foGH1v53nY&videos=D5BNii9f7So

Oh, wow! Thanks, I don't know how I forgot this one. It's called 'Stella By Moor'; my second favorite tune off of the soundtrack aside from Memory. It's a shame my favorite songs are so short, but I think that's another part of the beauty. I've got a soft spot for those music box tunes and these two take me into a free fall. Those sink holes have nothing on these tunes.

Tori Amos - Bells for Her

That song is not only sad, it's very eerie because she plays a toy piano that is all out of tune and it sounds so creepy. The song itslef is about two best friends who grew up together but then drifted and grew apart. Very sad. Another cool thing about this song is that it was written on the spot while Tori was toying around in her boyfriend's (at the time) studio. She didn't know that he hit the "record" button so what you hear on the album is basically the raw material that was recorded, with an overdub or two to add layers.

Is there a Tori Amos appreciation thread on here? If not I should start one.

She is definitely beautiful and sexy. But I hope the main focus of the thread will be about her awesome talent. :)

Seeing as the thread title is song in singular, I'll list but one.

If that bend in the ending solo doesn't get you, you are an awesome robot.

Elephant by Jason Isbell

I buried her a thousand times, given up my place in line
But I don't give a damn about that now
There's one thing that's real clear to me
No one dies with dignity
We just try to ignore the elephant somehow

Ronan by Taylor Swift (yep, keeping the Taylor love going :P)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwYVYodNjs4

She wrote this song about a fan's son who died of cancer at the age of 4 (and graciously gave the mom a co-writing credit since she used some of the phrases in her song from the mom's blog about her son).   An absolutely crushing song.
