I love music. I don't always understand the mechanics about it and I can't even really describe what I'm feeling when a song moves me. That being said, music moves me in weird ways. Sometimes, its just gets me so charged and pumped. There are other songs that just break my heart. These song are few and require certain qualities that, like I said, are difficult to articulate...but I'll try anyways. These songs can be soft or even harder metal and sometimes other genres of music. They need to hit certain notes and those notes most of the time are hit at a time that fits perfectly with the music; it doesn't have to be harmonized. The lyrics are important too. Not really for what the singer is actually saying but the sound of the words that are being said. There are two examples of this. One, The Offspring has a song called "I Want you Bad" and Eleventyseven has a song "Nightmare". Both have one part that is maybe about three seconds long and is crushes me for some reason.
There are not enough songs like this that I know of and I find many times that I have a need to have that broken feeling and yet I have no new songs to add to this list. Does anyone know what I'm talking about or have any songs that effect you in this way? Thanks for reading.
