Song that hits you

[madguy30]

I want to say I discovered this after he was gone and no idea if it was implied but the arrangement of the song and they way he digs in really seems to capture something going on.



His first appearance in like two years and his struggles on full display.




**these are not things I can relate to in experience but it just paints quite a picture.

Wasn't Coop the one in that little teeny mall thing underneath Minsky's?
Talking 1980 here

Correct-I have fleeting memories of the place with Paul sitting behind the counter saying "Are you a deadhead or a punk"? I had lots of pins at that time on the full length civil war double breasted wool army coat.

This song was before my time...but the first time I heard it a few years ago I had to listen to it about 10 times straight...gives me a very nostalgic feeling...

 

[cyfanatic]

Heard this one when I was young but recently I heard it again and thought: wow, this is a romantic song!

Say what you want about Nickelback but the lyrics to this song are great



Another song I love the lyrics to

Photograph by Nickelback is one that gets me a bit.

 

[Angie]

An oldie, but gets me every time.



Similar to Dawes - love them both live:

 

[Lunardi2.0]

Oh wow... have an entire playlist for these types of songs.
Here are a handful:

Dang...all these hit hard

 

[pourcyne]

From my childhood, but yeah. (BTW, great thread, Dahlia)

It was just after sunrise
And down by the sea
Down on the sand flats
Where nothing will grow
Come drumming and footsteps
Like out of a dream
Where the golden green waters come in
Just nine lucky soldiers had come
Through the night
Half of them wounded
And barely alive
Just nine out of twenty was headed for home
With eleven sad stories to tell
I remember quite clearly when I got out of bed
I said, oh, good morning what a beautiful day

Rise Against - Hero of War

Hesitated to post this because I'm still not 100% sure how I feel about this song because it's such delicate subject matter, but it absolutely hit me. I'll link a song meanings page with comments below the lyrics that I think did a great job of explaining it from perspectives of people far more qualified than me to interpret it.

So many to choose from.

First date for DH and me was Urban Cowboy. When I heard this song on the radio later, I was so happy because I really like the words and music. Happy-sad-nostalgic-hopeful, it takes me back to that time in my life (senior year at ISU) every time I hear it.


And PS, we were married a year later (to the day) of that first date.

Not the first time I heard it, but probably the greatest impact on my life.

Long story short, my son was born about 9 months after I met his mom. By the time she told me she was expecting, I had already decided she wasn't for me. I buried that thought deep and moved forward (we stayed together until he was 5, when she left and I can't blame her, as I suck at pretending).

At any rate, a few years in I had a cute little thing flirting with me at work. We decided to meet up at a company social gathering. On the day before, this song came on the radio, and it hit me like a ton of bricks, and I ended up cancelling. Just couldn't do it. "My daddy gave me a name, and then he walked away." Still makes me tear up.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

This in lots of ways reminds me of how my father and I are.

Can't believe I forgot this one.
