Favourite Song of all time - Why? - Page 2

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-25-2007, 01:32 AM

I rule by two genres: world music (as in everything), and gaming music.

Time After Time - If you know me, you know this an easy win. Outside of the theme song to the Price is Right (7 or 8 months of age when I heard that, and every week since to age 22), this is the first song I remember, and its still the most beautiful I know. There are over 78 recorded covers recorded of this now timeless standard, but its still Cyndi's original that gets me. Her voice simply cannot be imitated, period. I remember listen to this when I was an infant. My mom only had to play this to make me feel better when I was little. When I was sick, this put me to sleep. When I busted the back of my head open on a bed railing, this helped me with the pain on the way to get stitches.

Its also made me feel better through every tragedy I've seen or suffered, and reminds me of family. Its just a special song to me that has meaningless value, and I would be hard pressed to explain it without breaking the forum text limit.

Dire Dire Docks - Koji Kondo's masterpiece. Some people complain that his music is just bouncy and meaningless, carrying no emotional value. Listen to Twilight Princess's soundtrack to change that opinion on the spot. The majority of his music is happy and bouncy, just like childhood. When you hear it, you are instantly reminded of happier times long gone; back in the days when all you worried about was being realistic on your Christmas list and eating cookies before dinner. This song proves his song can carry deep emotional meaning.

My family was dirt poor, and got in on CD's late. I listened to all my music on cassette, so the soundtrack to Super Mario 64 was the first CD I ever personally. I would listen to that soundtrack whenever I could, and its still my favorite stage in the game, because this was my favorite song during the last year my family lived in our old home before we were forced to move for my dad's medical care in a burn center in Tulsa, the year my childhood pretty much died a bloody death. This beautiful song really helped me, as does all Kondo music when I'm feeling low.

"Don't Fear The Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult

Leave Me Here by Cult of Luna.

It's beautiful, aggressive, experimental and really puts you in a weird sort of menacing mood. o.O

Oh.. And the lyrics are really deep, but then... So are all of CoL's lyrics.

Out of a secret longing
They know their way from here
Out of a growing dream
They follow the road we create

I see what I've cut behind me
Lost on the bottom you often found me there
False conscience is beyond me
Lost in the backwoods I lie open to you here
Just leave me here

These men are running hard
But you keep down your voices
Living only to judge heavy
All mysteries aside there was a truth outside

Leave me here and I'm born again
Leave me here in this void again
Now I am open left for dead
Just like salvation comes in the end

I see what I've cut behind me
Lost on the bottom you often found me there
False conscience is beyond me
Lost in the backwoods I lie open to you here
Just leave me here

"Shine on you Crazy Diamond." A great song about Roger Barrett somebody so ripped apart by mental breakdown, somebody who I probably share certain similarities with, not musical though unfortunately.

Billy Gunn's "Ass-Man" theme is getting up there for me.

*Sewer Bull* · 09-06-2007, 04:49 PM

Should be 'Sometimes' by My Bloody Valentine.

Been listening to it way too often lately.
