Hello everybody,
glad where this post is going
what i meant by songs that touch your soul (obviously or maybe not so obvious i should have chosen a better title) a song with lyrics that move you but not necessarily about love maybe social, philosophical etc
so no music only especially classical avant garde etc (what i call academic music )
or else i will certainly include
Beethoven-Appasionata (i have a recording by barenboim that just takes me to heaven)
Debussy-Clair de lune
Satie-the Gnossienne
Penderecki-Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima (i know it seems strange but in its context id does)
Stravinsky-The Rite of spring (kinda brings out the bad boy or the primitive soul in me)
Sergei Rachmaninov - Moment Musicaux Op. 16 No. 4
Chopin - Fantaisie Impromptu
and the list goes on
anyway i will check every song posted that i don't know as i am sure there are a few gems here and for that i thank you all
@SineWave i don't need a drink to shed a tear or two myself. i get emotional really easy especially when i read/watch about injustice in this world
i might suggest (to the new generation especially) check out leonard cohen and Simon and garfunkle lots of beautiful meaningful songs i could make lists only of songs by them
my next post might be best lines / phrases of lyrics from songs you like till then DREAM ON ...

Why not? Music is such a wide field. There's room in my soul to be touched deeply more than twice in my life. Really.
But that may vary from person to person.
And it depends on several factors like mood or overall situation.
It's funny but for me in a quite depressed mood, I'm far more sensitive for getting touched by music in general.
And sometimes in hindsight the next day couldn't understand why a song made me cry.

Here's my list for today
Marc Cohn - Silver Thunderbird
Runrig - Life is
Luciano Pavarotti - Nessun Dorma from Puccini's Turandot
Haendel - Watermusic
BAP - Verdamp lang her
Franz Schubert - Ave Maria sung by Barbara Bonney
J.S. Bach - Orch. Suite No.3 in D maj
Melanie C - If that were me
ELP - Lucky Man
Procul Harum - A Salty Dog
Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms
Marc Cohn - Healing Hands
Pink Floyd of course...

@Yellow Raven Great idea... memory keeps serving more and more of those

Anything by Iggy Azalea touches my soul profoundly.

 

@Von_Steyr aaaaahhhhh Von , you are back?

Radiohead - Street spirit
Goran Bregovic - War
Barber - Adagio for strings
Moby - Mistake
Rene Aubry - Apres La pluie 2
Archive - End of bridge scene (keen for a dead child)
Cinematic orchestra - Breathe (Live at the royal Albert hall version)
RHCP - Under the bridge
SOAD - Lost in Hollywood
No Doubt - Don't Speak

And three of my mother language
Μάνος Χατζιδάκις - Το βαλς των χαμένων ονείρων
Θανάσης Παπακωνσταντίνου - Αγρύπνια
Θανάσης Παπακωνσταντίνου - Διάφανος

 

well all souls should be touched like that IMHO

 

I listen to Loudon Wainwright Daughter while watching mine and my soul is really touched

 

@xbitz
That Mylene farmer is something

 

Hardfloor Acperience: there may have been other factors involved.....

 

Just was reminded of a great albeit sad and horrific song on an entire Grammy nominated album that has No eq, compression or limiting and is held as one of the mostest bestest audiophile recordings.

 

One of my fav artist.

 

Most classical music touches the soul, Ravel is my main guy. And time by hans zimmer is a tearjerker. Or try out the Ohm frequencies:

Defeater - White Oak Doors
The Ocean - The Origin of God

I was wrong about all that after listening to heresay. I heard the drums being compressed and sleuthed around and found out that the was no compression, eq or limiting on her voice but the article didnt mention anything about anything else, just specifically the voice. It was recorded on an MCI 24 track machine so it has a natural levelling from that.

Sorry, Tiger.

 

No worries, but thanks for the info. The drums were what really wondered me too. Nonetheless a very fine recording.

 

His name is Toyga. Get it right, ok?

 

Ja voll, mein Kapitän! Ihre Bestellungen sind mir eine aufrichtige Freude...Toyga
