Hard To Imagine.


I just read that the boys played it acoustic style at the GOrge.....I felt like I was kicked in the stomache. It's one of the most beautiful songs ever written and the music fits it to a 't'....I should be in love with it but it seriously makes me sick.

What's your song?

    wish u were here.....pink floyd
    It doesnt hurt.... when I bleed
    but memories...they eat me
    I've seen it all before,...
    bring it on cause I'm no victim.

    for me it´s immortality from pj, and "hurt" in the version sung by johnny cash. these two songs make me cry almost every time i listen to them, and, on the other side they give me power. listening to immortality, i have to think of cobain and the tragedy of life. hurt sung by cash is a song that is so real it makes me feel cash wrote it, and his voice is so powerfull and the lyrics so hard. listen to it if you just haven´t already.
    i hurt myself today,
    to see if i still feel,
    i focus all the pain,
    the only thing that´s real...

    I've always felt that way about the song "Sea of Love" by Phil Phillips. There is just something about that song that just makes me emotionally sad

    i will come to you in the daytime
    i will raise you from your sleep
    i will kiss you in four places
    as i go runnin' down your street
    i will squeeze the life right out of your
    i will make you laugh, i'll make you cry
    and we may never forget it
    as i make you call my name as i shout it to the blue, summer sky
    and we may never meet again
    so shed your skin lets get started
    and you will throw your arms around me
    and you will throw your arms around me
    i will come to you at nightime
    i will climb into your bed
    i will kiss you in 155 places
    as i go runnin' round in your head
    i will squeeze the life right out of your
    i will make you laugh, i'll make you cry
    and we may never forget it
    as i make you call my name as i shout it to the blue, summer sky
    and we may never meet again
    so shed your skin lets get started
    and you will throw your arms around me
    and you will throw your arms around me
    ohh yeah, uh huh, uh huh...
    ohh yeah, uh hum, ooh...
    ohh yeah, uh huh, uh huh...
    oh...and you will throw your arms around me...
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    i am mine is another particularly important song to me....present tense, black, etc etc
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    release. i can't even remember if i ever listened to it without crying... i don't listen to it very often because it's just too heavy.
    and i have this bootleg-dvd of pj live in mexico "el ultimo dia de la gira". the solo mike plays in this particular version of black just tears me apart.

    From PJ, I guess the songs that hurts the most are I Got Id and Off He Goes.

    Lounge Act (Nirvana) and My Hero (Foo Fighters)... I remember Kurt's death. It makes me really sad every time I listen to them.

    dead of winter by eels. actually anything from that record. also agony by the same artist. iron and wine's 'our endless numbered days' has some pretty heartbreaking stuff on it too
    No time to question why nothing lasts

    The final cut by Pink Floyd. Also When the Tigers Broke Free - a great anti-conscription song

    Indifference kills me.

    On the way home from my husband's funeral, I stopped by our house and picked up what was left of his CDs. He'd sing it at the top of his lungs.. especially the last couple of weeks. He just.. screamed it. It was the first song he recorded, as well.

    Anyway! I got the guts to listen to it at the airport, and I nearly had a nervous breakdown. I just.. freaked out. Whenever I listen to Ten or Vitology.. my heart just hurts (literally as well).

    Indifference kills me.

    Eh.. a lot of them, but Indifference the most.

    To the original post, hsewif....that version is absolutely out of this world!!! One of the best ever imo. WOW! :o

    When it comes to PJ, the one that hurts the most for me is RELEASE all the way. I can't even listen to it and it's one of my fav songs. :( It's way too much to handle though.

    There's a few minutes near the end of side two of "Albert Ayler, Live at Slug's Saloon, May 1 1966 Volume Two", on the track "Our Prayer". I've NEVER heard anything so heavy. Such uplifting spirit and rock bottom despair in one devastating, howling saxophone. I can only listen to it about once a year.
