Anything by Daniel O'Donnel, particularly when he sings 'Danny Boy'.
My dearly missed grandma was a huge fan. Always remember going to visit her as a kid and hearing it playing on her old cassette player.

And 'I want to know what love is' by Foreigner. It was my ex's favourite song(who I still love dearly by the way and want her back) and the one she always wanted played in the background when we would get......cosy.
 
Lazy Eye- Silversun Pickups


It's not the song itself, but just things that were going on and the song came on and it's been forever burned in my memory.

Gets me every single time. The way Thom delivers the lyrics, the piano... chilling.
 
Some other songs from me:

Evanescence - My Immortal
Bob Dylan - The Times They Are a-Changin'
The Beatles - Yesterday
Arianne - Komm, Süsser Tod
The Rolling Stones - Like a Rolling Stone
 
I pinpoint that period of time (nu metal, rapcore, the rise of the sell out RnB 'artist', limp bizkit lols) as the death of good music. Since that period there hasn't been anything but a get rIch quick mentality. I'm guessing you haven't listened to bands like Tool or Kyuss if stuff like P.O.D has an impact on you. I get the feeling you're fairly young?
 
I am 14.

Me too, pretty much. I don't like todays music. Look at what happened to Linkin Park.
 
Mate Linkin Park were never good :lol:


My opinion of course.



One of the best examples I use with my RL friends is the selling out of Gwen Stefani



Language warning apparently :confused:

I respect your opinion.

As far as i remember, Linkin Park was the first band i started to like, back in the early 2000s. And my blood pressure dropped a bit after listening to their latest album.
 


Suddenly, you were gone
From all the lives you left your mark upon

I remember
How we talked and drank into the misty dawn
I hear the voices
We ran by the water on the wet summer lawn
I see the footprints
I remember

I feel the way you would
I feel the way you would

Tried to believe but you know it's no good
This is something that just can't be understood

I remember
The shouts of joy skiing fast through the woods
I hear the echoes
I learned your love for life,
I feel the way that you would
I feel your presence
I remember

I feel the way you would
This just can't be understood...

Their first 2 albums were good, than they started sucking.

If by that you mean Hybrid Theory and Meteora then you are absolutely right. I took me quite a while until I started liking some songs of Minutes to Midnight. But A Thousand Suns... just painful.
 
I have a listen to this whenever I feel empty and careless; it tends to wring some emotion out of me. Alright, the title is a bit too obvious, but I think it works.

Daft Punk - Emotion



Also, if you've seen Interstella 5555, a movie by Daft Punk, then this one strikes pretty close to the heart, as the scene it was in was quite heart wrenching.

Daft Punk - Something About Us



Finally, these songs, from another Daft Punk movie, in which they did not use their own music, affect me terrifically. I almost get pain in my chest listening to the last one, and I got close to crying both times I watched Electroma.

Todd Rundgren - International Feel



Jackson C. Frank - I Want To Be Alone

Not cool. I absolutely hate it when people judge other people's taste in music because of their age.

What's wrong with POD? Is it the fact that they sing about faith?

No lol. More the fact they crossed Eminem with with some generic rock band to persist with an awful fad that killed music for me (nu metal)

I wasn't trying to offend him. It's actually a really accurate way of doing things. I instantly knew he wasn't 13 - 18 in the 90's because he likes POD.



psst, I was right - he's 14.
 
The Gaslight Anthem - The 59 sound. The lyrics remind me a lot of a time this past July where one of my good friends passed away in a car accident. She was only 20.

Sad.

well, I wonder which song they're gonna play when we go.
I hope it's something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.
when we float out into the ether, into the Everlasting Arms,
I hope we don't hear Marley's chains we forged in life.
'cause the chains I been hearing now for most of my life.

Did you hear the '59 Sound coming through on Grandmama's radio?
Did you hear the rattling chains in the hospital walls?
Did you hear the old gospel choir when they came to carry you over?
Did you hear your favorite song one last time?

And I wonder were you scared when the metal hit the glass?
See, I was playing a show down the road
when your spirit left your body.
And they told me on the front lawn.
I'm sorry I couldn't go,
but I still know the song and the words and her name and the reasons.
And I know 'cause we were kids and we used to hang.



young boys, young girls, ain't supposed to die on a Saturday night.

EDIT: Seeing them Friday night. Don't know how I'm going to handle it when this gets played.

Johnny Cash - Hurt

Great song btw. Actually like the Cash version more than the NIN

Just a few songs that remind me of times not as good as now.



And one that reminds me of better times (sorry for the GH video only one I could find for this song)



Edit: I fail at youtube embedding. Could a mod please fix?

Surprised this one hasn't come up yet. This, and Fake Plastic Trees always hit me hard.



This one gets me, not as much for the song itself, but just the incredible amount of memories that come along with it for me. Don't usually like Dave Matthews but he gives a very emotional performance in this song.



Also, Zad, you don't need the youtube link, just the numbers at the end of it. For example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cowl02DXx3A

you would go [ youtube ]Cowl02DXx3A[ /youtube ] without the spaces of course.
 
There's no song that I enjoy but can't listen to because of the emotions it brings out, but there's a few that make me feel kinda all warm inside. They don't exactly make me feel sad but just a nice feeling. Emotional nonetheless.

Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life




Billy Talent - The Navy Song




Millencolin - Entrance at Rudebrook




Millencolin - Highway Donkey

​
 
There isn't a song I can't listen to for making me too emotional, but ones that can come close are:

Disappear - Dream Theater

A song from FLAW(r.i.p) called "Best That I Am". It was a song I dedicated to my then fiance back in 2002. She dumped me 4 days after my 27th b'day. Still have a hard time listening to it.
