(no subject)
inspired by a post by dontneedtosayit and a lot of boredom, i decided to compile a list of songs that really get to me. they take a molten-hot stake and stab it into my chest in the way only great songs can.
the cure - letter to elise
the eels - p.s. you rock my world
michael knott - double
simon & garfunkle - sounds of silence
jeff buckley - hallelujah
jimi hendrix - little wing
nine inch nails - something i can never have
anything slow by billie holliday
anything slow by otis redding
cat power live (half because of embarassment)
the johnny cash cover of hurt + video = *slit*
red hot chili peppers - road tripping
acid bath - dead girl (shut up, i'm from southern louisiana)
pedro the lion - bad diary days (how can i forget)
almost anything from joni mitchell
see above for cat stevens
see above for nick drake
sunny day real estate - how it feels to be something on
pavement - range life
elliot smith - needle in the hay (classic wrist-slitter)
bonnie prince billy - i see a darkness
radiohead - true love waits
much of nick cave's stuff
THE SWANS (plus michael gira's solo stuff with angels of light)
portishead and massive attack
beatles - eleanor rigby
circle takes the square - kill the switch
most things by low, slowdive, red house painters, sun kil moon etc.
fiona apple - sullen girl
beck - almost anything off sea change
neutral milk hotel - oh comely
the band - long black veil
rolling stones - wild horses
and also, this isn't a song, but that episode of futurama where fry's dog waits outside the pizza shop for years until he finally dies.
also, to avoid looking like a total sap.....i just wanted to say.......
METALOCALYPSE FUCKING RULES
