God mode moments.

I'm not a particular fan of Radiohead but in Paranoid Android, at about 03:30 or something, Thom Yorke starts singing "Rain down, rain down"... gets me shivering every time.

 

 

 

Jeff Buckley's little sigh right before he start singing "Hallelujah" does something similar to me. It's not really God mode though, in fact, I get filled with the thorough sense that I'm very human and that that makes me very powerful in some odd way. Can't really explain.

Found a couple more:

 

 

 

About 0:53 into We're No Here by Mogwai the full guitar and drums kick in, and wow, that's the kind of music you can imagine walking down a street in slow-motion, in the rain with a gun in your hand to.

 

 

 

Bad Horsie, Steve Vai, it's just dark, moody and really quite menacing, while at the same time being almost comical.

Heuy, the end of Steely Dan Deacon Blues from the album Aja.

 

 

 

This is the night

 

Of the expanding the man

As I approach the stand

Sue me if I play too long

 

This brother is free

 

Ill be what I want to be

I guess for me, it'd be almost anything Slipknot. Hmmm....the intro to Disasterpiece, I think it's the bridge in Eyeless...and of course, the DJ Station(I think his name is Chris...I think). The bridge in Iowa when the drums are pounding, the guitars are roaring, and the Dj Station...wow.

 

 

 

I'm such a Maggot. :XD:

I'll pulse with you, Maggot. :XD: :lol:

 

 

 

Yes, I too find the bridge in Eyeless to be god mode. Same with the song 'My Plague.' Great chorus yet great song all round.

Holy [cabbage]. I've never been a big Pink Floyd fan, but that is godamn beautiful.

Pulse is so overrated. Nice show and all, but I don't see what all the fuss is about. Get Roger Waters preforming the Wall live in Berlin half a year after the wall went down. Now that's great.

 

 

 

Another special thing is the end of

 

 

 

By the way, LP. Have you ever listened to Dead can Dance? A friend introduced me to their music recentely, and they're really great. Lisa Gerrard, one of the two singers (the other being a male) also did the score for Gladiator. And you could really compare the music, although Dead can Dance has got a little more 'spice' to it. It's really good, and theirl ive sets are brilliant. I think you'd like them.

Ohh, finally a band whose name I recognise. I like the way Dead Can Dance mixes different styles and musical influences. They really bring passion and spectacle, though they tend to be a bit over-dramatic :-).

The start to Disturbed's 'Down With The Sickness' is awesome. Freaking awesome.

 

 

 

Same with the guitar solos in 'Operation Ground and Pound' by Dragonforce.

 

 

 

And there was one song by Gary Moore that I can't quite remember the name of that I loved.

Hours of wealth by Opeth.

 

 

 

Incredible.

 

 

 

The vocals of Mikael Akerfeldt made me just stop everything I was doing, then I got this odd feeling of warmth go through me. The solo at the end just tops this song off. Incredible. Sexy. Wow.

Machine Head - Imperian. The dropout in that is insane. I was hooked on this song for over a week.

 

 

 

and

 

 

 

Machine Head - Davidian. Live at download this year "Do you feel free!?!?! Then to the bravehearts of donnington, look in my eyes and let freedom reign with a BLAAAAGGGGHHHHH". It's an amazing song as well.

 

 

 

I'm on a Machine Head craze atm if you hadn't guessed.

I thought I'd take a walk today

 

It's a mistake I sometimes make

 

My children lay asleep in bed

 

My wife lay wide-awake

 

I kissed her softly on the brow

 

I tried not to make a sound

 

But with stony eyes she looked at me

 

And gently squeezed my hand

 

Call it a premonition, call it a crazy vision

 

Call it intuition, something learned from mother

 

But when she looked up at me, I could clearly see

 

The Sword of Damocles hanging directly above her

 

Oh Lord Oh my Lord

 

Oh Lord

 

How have I offended thee?

 

Wrap your tender arms around me

 

Oh Lord Oh Lord

 

Oh My Lord

 

 

 

In the begining the song is quite calm, caring, even loving...

 

 

 

They called at me through the fence

 

They were not making any sense

 

They claimed that I had lost the plot

 

Kept saying that I was not

 

The man I used to be

 

They held their babes aloft

 

Threw marsh mellows at the Security

 

And said that I'd grown soft

 

Call it intuition, call it a creeping suspicion,

 

But their words of derision meant they hardly knew me

 

For even I could see in the way they looked at me

 

The Spear of Destiny sticking right through me

 

Oh Lord Oh my lord

 

Oh Lord

 

How have I offended thee?

 

Wrap your tender arms round me

 

Oh Lord Oh lord

 

Oh My Lord

 

 

 

Then the second part comes, he's growing a bit more frustrated, helpless....And then after Oh My Lord the violin, the percussion, and here it all starts...

 

 

 

Now I'm at the hairdressers

 

People watch me as they move past

 

A guy wearing plastic antlers

 

Presses his bum against the glass

 

Now I'm down on my hands and knees

 

And it's so f*cking hot!

 

Someone cries, "What are you looking for?"

 

I scream, "The plot, the plot!"

 

I grab my telephone, I call my wife at home

 

She screams, "Leave us alone!" I say, "Hey, it's only me"

 

The hairdresser with his scissors, he holds up the mirror

 

I look back and shiver; I can't even believe what I can see

 

 

 

And slowly while singing everything goes darker and darker, his voice so desperate, the violins kick in, the piano is more agrresive, the percussion and everything is so more haunting

 

 

 

then it follows with this:

 

 

 

Be mindful of the prayers you send

 

Pray hard but pray with care

 

For the tears that you are crying now

 

Are just your answered prayers

 

The ladders of life that we scale merrily

 

Move mysteriously around

 

So that when you think you're climbing up, man

 

In fact you're climbing down

 

Into the hollows of glamour, where with [bleep]es and hammer

 

With telescopic camera, they chose to turn the screw

 

Oh I hate them, Ma! Oh I hate them, Pa!

 

Oh I hate them all for what they went and done to you

 

Oh Lord Oh my Lord

 

Oh Lord

 

How have I offended thee?

 

Wrap your tender arms round me

 

Oh Lord Oh Lord

 

Oh My Lord

 

 

 

Ooh, brilliant. So much feeling put in it, and then it ends with a incredible finally, which is on par with the ending groove of Lateralus.

 

 

 

The entire song is amazing, but especially from minute 3:40 till the the end. Man. It's the song Oh My Lord by Nick Cavde & The Bad Seeds.

Yeah, i bought that album after you suggested it and said I'd wet myself :P

 

 

 

Piano rocks, specially in that song and in "As I Sat Sadly By Her Side" and "Fifteen Feet Of Pure White Snow". I'll get the other album you mentioned yesterday soon as well, hope it is as strong an album as that this one though.

 

 

 

Anyway, I'm now listening to that song.

With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed.

Heh, cool you like it! As I sat sadly by her side, no more shall we part, fifteen feet of pure white snow, hallelujah, God is in the house, Oh my Lord and Sorrowful wife are my favorties of the album. The other tracks are good too, but they can't equel these. :P Which was the other one I mentioned? Abattoir Blues? Or The Boatman's Call? Boatman's Call is brilliant as well. More intimate than this one, and it's all ballads. The band is so incredibly subtile on it, incredible preformance.
