I think back to games like Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario World and know for a fact I will never experience the world through the eyes of a 5-year-old again. sigh. |
That's not too nerdy. I can totally relate. To be honest all of the SNES music makes me think of my friends who have either moved far away or otherwise lost contact (or in one tragic case, passed away). I remember playing Mario Kart and Donkey Kong with those people all through elementary school and middle school, and that classic music brings back an outrageous amount of good and yet sad memories... _________________

Wow Necro bump.
I recently stumbled across this version of Hallelujah covered by some random duet called Skeye. Really really brilliant cover that made me feel a bit emotional when I first heard it.

I have to say, Adam Lambert's version of Mad World, Best of You, and Wheels by Foo Fighters. Those tend to get the emotional juices flowing. _________________

But of course, from a "selecting songs that jibe with the spirit of the occasion" standpoint. But that'd be too easy, and does not scratch my abritrary "supremely idiotic query that perhaps only ScoreHero may know the answer to" itch. |

Nothing to Lose by Billy Talent. I don't know, at some point when I was depressed last year, alone in my room, I kept listening to it over and over frantically until the tears came and wouldn't go. The same thing happened to me over Warmness on the Soul by Avenged Sevenfold, which I must have listened to over a thousand times. I used to be so lonely, with first love and friendzone shit, whatever.
Lately, I was listening to Stand Up and Run by Billy Talent and suddenly paid attention to the lyrics. The bridge got me really emotional, and every time I tried to sing along after that it would almost make me cry. Just thinking about it right now gives me shivers. It used to remind me my girlfriend being far away from me and made me think that I didn't want our relationship to be ruined by the distance. I know everything's going to be alright because it'll be over in a few months, and we'll finally get to live together.
About a week ago, after I dropped her at the bus stop, I was listening to Love of my Life by Queen in my car, and then I realized that I wouldn't see her again until February. I literally burst up in tears. I hope she's having fun where she is, and most of all, I hope she's alright and not putting herself in trouble or anything. I can't wait to see her again and talk to her again.
Well, this was Undead being emotional at ~3:45 AM. :') _________________

I forgot this thread existed, what a great thread.
I have a new one. Ten by Yellowcard off their newest album makes me unbearably sad, it's hard not to cry every time (though definitely pick up the album, it's great). "Dear Bobbie" was sad too on Paper Walls, but it was that happy kind of sad. The "we had a great life" kind, similar to the whole beginning sequence of Up. Ten is just... too upsetting, I can't handle it.
It just hits waaay too close to home. If you don't like Yellowcard, at least read the lyrics and you can put two and two together as for why it is so sad... _________________

Change by Blind Melon
This whole album has a bittersweet feel just because of the singer's passing, but this one in particular gets me every time. |

In the House, In a Heartbeat
Getting immersed in it always gives me an addicting sense of hopelessness. |

Not gonna lie, the ending of Dark Side of Me/Lead in into 2's My Favorite 1 off of Coheed's latest album is what finally broke me down on the overall sad story of Sirius Amory.
Because shit, that album is depressing as fuck. _________________

A Million Miles Away by Rory Gallagher.
For perspective, I moved 500 miles north to Scotland for university. My mum has a back tattoo of this album cover with my name worked into it. We used to listen to that album and just let an hour pass us by.
I miss her. I've seen her for 5 days since I moved here in September last year. It's hard. _________________
