Long time Nine inch nails fan. Love everything he’s done.
Hear Johnny Cash do Hurt.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Yeah that song hits quite hard
I didn't know it by name, but it's an iconic classic. I immediately recognized it.
Oh man. That song is all the feels. Even Trent Reznor said Johnny did it better.
Specifically this performance of Danny Nedelko by Idles: https://piped.video/watch?v=Sc63fTPttEQ
It's a song about how immigrants are normal people with thoughts and feelings, our friends and family and so on, released when an anti-immigration sentiment was completely mainstream, but also just as Corbyn was becoming popular, and the singer's belting it out despite being knackered, and the crowd's belting it back, until he falls down crying because everyone's onside with his song he'd written about friendship and love, and the guitarist takes over without a second thought, and his wife comes out with their baby in a papoose to kiss him... I'm getting a lump in my throat just describing it.
Thank you, I didn't know the song and I am deeply moved by it ❤️
NiN - Hurt.
Simon and Garfunkel - Sound of Silence.
It's interesting how original Hurt by NiN has very different vibes than its cover by Johnny Cash. It's like it's different song, but still the same. Both deep, just different.
The best way I can describe the emotional difference is that Reznor's version depicts ruinous destruction of a young person's life, and Cash's version depicts a lifetime of regret. Their literal ages obviously help convey it, but the arrangement and style really sell it
Yeah, the original always hit me harder but both are very emotional. I think it's also to do with the orchestration.
Selena - No Me Queda Más
Arctic Monkeys - 505
Eminem - Headlights
GnR - November Rain
Ugly Kid Joe - Cats in the Cradle
I'm currently re-aligning my entire life with the goal of not becoming the dad in this song.
Originally from Harry Chapin.
Part of this song is about how fast life goes by, not just the dad not being there. Sad to say you can't fix that.
"Hits hard" may be subjective and situational, but I guess it can be interpreted as emotionally touches you?
Ever since I have my own children Zombie by The Cranberries hits twice as hard.
Bones in the Water by Battle of Mice. I've never heard that level of unhinged screaming in my life. Plus it's creepy as fuck
So, I almost never listen to this song because somehow it always makes me so so sad. I am a metal guy, I love heavy shit, from Kill'Em All to Watch The World Burn; but an old friend passed me this song once and it broke me into pieces.
It's the saddest lullaby ever.
I recommend this fan-made lyric video specially for those who don't have English as first language. I find it funny that it doubles on views the original song.
Terrible Things, by Mayday Parade.

Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley.
And, as mentioned, Mr Cash's haunting and painful rendition of Hurt.
Cats in the Cradle - Harry Chapin
I'm doing my best to not let my life be like the song, but that's tough...
I have so many, but today I was listening to the radio and was really getting into Elton John's "I'm Still Standing", Heart's "Crazy On You", and Peter Schilling's "Major Tom". It was truly a good day on the radio.
Pink Floyd - High Hopes
Charles Bradley’s cover of Changes by Black Sabbath.
He sings it dedicated to his mom and that gets me every time.
For me, I've gotta say "Machine Messiah", by Yes. It's one of the longest, and most interesting songs I've heard. Most songs have just one "mood" explored in them, but this one shifts from joyous to melancholy and back multiple times, and does so perfectly. Plus, I'm very nostalgic about it since it was one of my favorite songs as a child. Drama was the one of the first two albums I bought as a kid, almost entirely because that one song was on it. (Also--is that a Sonic pfp, op? A person of culture, I see 😉)
HAHA yes it surely is. Shadow with a watermelon helmet is one of my favorite Sonic memes.
Sonic is maybe for kids but it's my childhood so I do not care what people say about it. Anyway thanks for the comment 😁
The Sun, The Moon, The Star - Æther Realm
A ~20 minute metal masterpiece telling the story of someone leaving home in search of purpose and only upon leaving realizes the beauty of what he had before.
Melodically beautiful and I cry every time I hear it!

The Other Side by Public Service Broadcasting really drew me in the first time I listened to it.
Also Open Your Eyes by Snow Patrol gives me the feels for some reason.
The Other Side just hits right in the good parts of humanity. I just can't help but be amazed that humans did that whenever I listen to that song.
Ocean Lab - Breaking Ties (https://youtu.be/g13nsQaCxbg )
Great breakup song if you want to just let it out
John Farnham - Help (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dv54giOSRKs )
This is a cover of the Beatles song. Very different vibe to the original
Realising now my music tastes are a bit weird...
Linkin Park - One More Light
Toy Soldiers by Martika
Pink Floyd - marooned.
the folk song "Pretty Saro"
Lately, Bjork - Stonemilker
