What I mean by that, is a song which touches you bc it has a spiritual meaning in the words or it's a song about the human condition and the pain and glory of defeat and triumph. Whatever it may be.

Here's a few of my favs:
U2--"Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"--Joshua Tree (spiritual)
The Verve--"Bitter Sweet Symphony"--Urban Hymns (human condition)
Smashing Pumpkins--"Rat in a Cage"-Bullet (human cond/spiritual)
Oasis--"Stop Crying your Heart Out"--Butterfly Effect (this one is very spiritual to me and makes me think of God singing this to me the day he sent me down here)

Cheers :wave:
 
DA, chickachickachicka, da, da, da,
da, da, da,
da, da, daaaaaaaaaa
Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances...(chickachickachicka da da da)
:haha: :haha: :haha:

I think that covers pain, glory, suffering, and cheesiness to the max...
 
five for fighting - superman
the calling - wherever you will go
relient k - be my escape

does anyone else think James Blunt's "you're beautiful" is getting repeated till it hurts on the radio?
 
Linkin Park - Numb

That song always gives somewhat of a touch when I hear it.

Praise be the lord.Jesus is alive and well in Canada. :angel:
 
poetic license

I was just being poetic. But I guess I do get that idea from my old church which believed our soul lived in heaven before it was sent down here to become our consciousness. Life/salvation is the task of reminding the soul/self what it really is.

So that's it no one has any cool songs that move them? Dull crowd. :zzz:

:D That can be my theme tune. I just thought of something I haven't stressed:If you like guitar/blues music, incredible solos, em...Irish people, get some Rory Gallagher. He has to be the most underrated musician ever, never gets recognition because he refused to sell singles, sell out and do commercialist stuff and he lived clean(not cool at the time) but he is, in terms of talent(deep breath) as good as Jimi Hendrix. I'll stand by that statement.
 
Rory Gallagher: Never heard of him. Any relation to a comic of the same last name? He a great line about an interior decorator who got a job in the US Department of the Interior and became a damn inspector.
(gay male voice used) : "Oh this wall has got to go!" " More windows, more windows, let in the light!" :haha: :haha: It still kills me.

Keep em coming!

I'll convert ye yet. I'm going to link a video here:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7445669705207009084&q=rory+gallagher
but believe me this does him very little justice. I'm just putting it here because it hints at some of the solos he did during concerts.
Here's the Wikipedia article on him:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rory_Gallagher
and you can't argue with Wikipedia. I wish I could link some of the music I have on my computer...
Please, if you even just download one song, it has to be either Bullfrog Blues, Messin With The Kid or Tattoo'd Lady, from the Big Guns album. Ignore everything on disk 2(what was he thinking). This guy is the sole reason I started playing guitar.
And I'm still standing by that statement.

not bad, not bad
 
Watching the vid, I'll admit he's good....but I'd still argue with you as far as his place in music. I'll have to download some of his stuff to play it, but Hendrix (IMHO) was "much" better in clarity, harmonics and the ability to actually put good music together....something that people would really enjoy.
 
I dunno, his talent(to me) sort of lost in the gimmics and showmanship(which are great traits btw, don't get me wrong) but Rory Gallagher was just pure, not many effects and no setting the guitar on fire. However he never did manage to get the acclaim so maybe I'm missing something? I think it's just whatever style you're looking for, and I'm probably biased because I have a lot more Rory Gallagher than Jimi Hendrix on my iPod, and of course, the big bias, he was Irish!
 
hey somehow if you acquire an instrumental of "Messin' With the Kid", could you mail it to me
 
Stupid, uneducated question I know but; an instrumental? Does that mean it's done just with instruments, no lyrics? :blush: sorry man but I really don't know what an instrumental is.
 
Hurt-Johnny Cash

Or Maybe

Times are a changing-Dylan

Last but not least (well the least known out of these by far)

Angel From Montgomery-John Prine.

Not uplifting, but it hits the soul nonetheless.
