What piece of music really moves you???

[hannaugh]

Nice one Lucky.  I keep hearing about that band, but that's the first I've actually heard them.  Good stuff.

BTW, is everyone watching the videos, or are you guys just posting your own?

 

[Lucky #7]

If you saw Friday Night Lights, you've heard Explosions in the Sky.  That whole soundtrack is them.

Never saw it.  Not really a football person, so it didn't interest me.

Yes - Gates of Delirium

22 minutes worth of song. Has 3 parts. Middle section is chaotic. Then it ends with the very beautiful "Soon". It nearly brings a tear to my eye. Any one of the 3 parts alone would not be moving, but the song as a whole is awesome.

This is exactly what I was going to say, including the part about "soon"

I had a cd (or was it an lp?) from Gavin Friday, called "each man kills the thing he loves" , and it is really depressing in a weird way... maybe it really sucks and has more to do with the time (20 years ago) when I was listening to it a lot.  :icon_scratch:

best rube goldberg machine i've ever seen

 

[Superbeast520]

For me it would be track 6 of ......Rory Gallagher's "Irish Tour 74" Live album,  .....the song is.... "A Million Miles Away" (Rory Gallagher) - 9:29 ...when I first heard it I could feel it in my soul, and every time I hear it I want to jam, contemplate or both.

I heard about Rory way too late, at the time I was so into Stevie Ray and Jimi Hendrix, ..... their amazing blues expressions would just floor me, I got to a point where I didnt think anyone else even came close,  their tone and feel and unbelievable jamms were mind blowing, ........ then I listened to this album for the first time and I couldnt believe what I was hearing.

I remember thinking to myself..... who the heck is this and why in the hell didn't I and every one else in the universe know who this guy was, sadly like Stevie Ray and Jimi, Rory is gone, but its guaranteed that if you've never heard him, but you love deep heart felt blues with amazing playing that your certain is beyond the realm of mere mortals, then you'll definantly love and be blown away by Rory Gallagher.


Rory Gallagher Irish Tour 74 would be a great place to start.....heres the link.....    http://www.amazon.com/Irish-Tour-Rory-Gallagher/dp/B00001OH7G

+2 for the 'Soon' section.

Jeff Beck - Where Were You? - magical

Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia - beautiful

[youtube=425,350]uTeBFmWsLIg[/youtube]

Neil Young - Cortez the Killer
Surely everyone knows that...

Gillan - Men of War - always gives me a buzz
Only YT version I could find is pretty poor quality live recording...

EDIT: added YT clips

 

[OzziePete]

Procol Harum - Conquistador (live version with Edmonton Symphony Orchestra). I'm sure this is the live version of the song that I heard many years ago and was blown out by the hugeness of the whole song. Much better (IMHO) than the studio version. Apologies for the first minute or so of You Tube clip. song really kicks in after that..... Whoever the guitarist was on this track (Robin Trower?) certainly deserves huge props for blowing away a Symphony Orchestra!

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb. Guitar solo to outro, killer.... Saw it live in 1988, flying pigs and exploding hospital beds and all!

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHk6clzLeMM&feature=related[/youtube]

Bear with me on this one: Yoko Ono & John  Lennon - Walking On Thin Ice. WAS John Lennon's last recording gig before he was assassinated. The diving vibrato guitar effect/solo has to be him on his Ricky (rumoured to be). Just has to be...The song has the horrible significance of Lennons' last gig, but also this typifies the lost talent - Lennon could rock with the best but on this track he was trying very hard to catch up to the then modern 80s' sound effect type guitar (see The Edge). Given more life, what could he had achieved? His loss hit me hard when I was watching Live Aid in 1985, when I realised, as McCartney walked out for the Wembley finale (Let It Be), that that spot would have been perfect for a Beatles reunion...Been very angry about Lennon's murder since.

Back to normal programming.... :laughing7: 
Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - Texas Flood (Live long version). Caught this on You Tube recently and it made me sit up, this a masterful performance of the song. Be prepared to feel quite inadequate on guitar.. This song was on  the first Stevie Ray album I bought, and man, stuff like this really pricked up my ears about electric blues.

Indeed.

 

[m4rk0]

wow 
I don't believe in Yoko, I just believe in me... (not yoko and me)


Best of times is great!! the solo will soon be added to the same list as comfortably numb, november rain, etc

The Offspring - Gone Away
[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=numCZoBFcv4[/youtube]

I won't get heavy on ya, but long story short, this song has helped me deal with death many times over the years...when I found this song it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders, I can't quite explain it, I just connected with it on such a level that it broke me down for awhile...simply amazing in my eyes...or ears, I guess...hah

Foo Fighters - Everlong
[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBG7P-K-r1Y[/youtube]

Something about this song...it doesn't have an amazing solo, crazy chord formations, or insane bass work...although Taylor's drumming is pretty hard to keep up with for the entire song.  Just connects with me on a deep level...hard to explain!

Wow, you guys have submitted some great stuff!

I don't have a youtube video of it, but many years ago I went down to the Corpus Christi Jazz Festival (in south Texas). There was this guy, totally blended in...Why was he on stage? he was introduced as a local performer and then...he sang How Great Thou Art.
It's a Hymn, so there's no guitar at all. The guy sang it alone on stage with no backing music at all. you know how some folks have 'photographic' memories? Well I'm like that with sound. To this day, his voice is fresh in my mind. It was the single most powerful performance I have ever heard. I was truley awestruck. Amazed. Humbled.

As far as things I can show y'all, this Polly Palusma song called One Day really speaks to me.

Tom Morello with Tool at bonnaroo - this was so awesome, i was at this show and this performance of this song just blew me away, and it only got better when morello stepped out onstage,
they ripped a hole in the local space-time continuum that night and this town hasn't been the same since.  :icon_thumright:

I know the live versions of these are odd, but the way this band approaches melody and harmonic support will always floor me.  I consider myself blessed to have seen them as much as I did.

By the way, the second video is "In Circles" from Diary... this song changed my life.

meet me there
in the blue
where words are not
feeling remains
sincerity
trust in me
throw myself into your door

i go
in circles
running down

meet me there
in the blue
where words are not
feeling remains
and i dream
to heal your wounds
but i bleed myself
i bleed myself

i go
in circles
running down

 

[CrackedPepper]

THE Cars' All Mixed Up sung by the late great Ben Orr.  I can relate to this song on visceral level for reasons I've never quite understand.  It's touchingly sad despite Ric Ocasek's somewhat cryptic lyrics.

Song starts at about 4:38...
