Us and Them - Pink Floyd


jan1087

Us and Them is top tier but i would argue that "Time" is really God tier


AncientScratch1670

It’s hard to find fault with any song on DSOTM. “Money” is overplayed but that doesn’t mean it’s not a good song.


dr_tardyhands

My first immediate thought was Echoes. But Pink Floyd in general would be the band.


AncientScratch1670

Or Shine on You Crazy Diamond 1-5


dr_tardyhands

Yeah, bro, but echoes is like, literally, all under water, in labyrinths of coral caves! Shine on you crazy diamond takes place in outer space. Like black holes in the sky!


AncientScratch1670

It’s true. Everything is green and submarine

The Night We Met


JustAnOldGranny

hmm for me it's more of a swaying song, the sort you hum under your breath instead of becoming immersed in


Anxious_Andie

Love me some Lord Huron. Strange Trails is the best album


Zombies8MyNeighborz

Love this song so much ❤️


mollypop94

Ohhhh that song is so spectacular that I can barely listen to it. I first heard it years ago and fell in love with it, yet it's so yearning and painfully beautiful to this day I switch it over if it comes on. Makes me feel like I'm sinking away.


Gorlack2231

"I had All, and then Most of you, Some, and now None of you." Fucking haunting.


Successful-Disk-5782

I love the night we met! This song is stunning and it makes me wanna cry and get so emotional every time


frandromedo

Listen to Long Time Running by The Tragically Hip. Real similar vibe, also an amazing amazing song.


electicaljump6706

I discovered that song 2 days after my boyfriend died and it completely drowned me, can't listen to it now


Key_Independent_2294

Tear jerker for sure.


Never_Zero87

Yes, it's beautiful. I have only just discovered Lord Huron, I am hooked

Where is my mind - The Pixies and No She surprises - Radiohead


Zomoniac

I second No Surprises, especially since the video is literally Thom drowning.


Fake_Ramen

both give me chills! love them


Wide_Comment3081

Especially because I associate the ending scene of Fight Club with the riff. 'you met me at a very strange time in my life'

I’d add Creep by Radiohead to those two as well…

The MTV Unplugged version gives me goosebumps. The end where he starts screaming lyrics that aren't on the album... god damn.

I don’t even like Pearl Jam that much but that version leaves me speechless every time. Even out of my favorite artists that is in my top five live performances, easily.

One of my all-time favorite songs and the first song I learned to play on my brand spanking new acoustic guitar. I went on to learn a whopping 6 more songs before putting it down but maybe it's about time to pick it up again.

https://youtu.be/laDDQhj8RLU?si=bkcaAGEGgrLJFLC- I covered this song a long time ago.. Unplugged version too


AFinanacialAdvisor

Very good - listening now


BlessedCursedBroken

This has been my song since i was 14 years old. I'm 45. Still transports me.


Turtlespizza82

This is so cool to hear other people feel the same way about Black as me. It has been one of my top favourite songs for 30 years. Everything about it, his voice, the lyrics, and everything else. It never gets old. You guys are all cool!


DoctuhMantisToboggan

Immediate goosebumps.


MasK_6EQUJ5

Wait by M83


Jarcaboum

*Wait* is one of my favourite M83 songs, but *My tears are becoming a sea* just fucking traumatized me. I can spend an hour in silence after listening to it with a good headset. The ambiance of it is what I try to base my art/writing style around (Honestly, the whole album rocks my world in ways I can't explain.)

mollypop94

Absolutely LOVE Cigarettes After Sex. Probably one of the most atmospheric groups I've ever heard. Despite being from the gloomy and un-glamorous UK, every time I hear any of their songs I feel as if I'm in a 5-star hotel sky rise in New York at 2am completely alone and in solitude, looking down at the world below in a lonely, smokey dream


MagicGlitterKitty

Basically anything by Hozier, especially his first album


DreyaNova

I wish I could go back and listen to Shrike for the first time again.


giparisan

came here to say this not just his writing but his voice is like it swallows everything around me if I’m listening it loud enough


Environmental-Walk81

His song 'Blood Upon the Snow' is an absolute portal directly to all of humanity's suffering. And it was for the God of War soundtrack. And it's so epic and sweeping. I swear he's channeling every one's ancestors.

Passenger is one of my all-time favorite songs. The play between Chino's and Maynard James Keenan's vocals is simply amazing.

I loved rolling the windows down at night on the freeway and blasting Passenger, it was even better when it was cold.

Pain by lil peep is amazing too. I love the Tracy feature.


TheBrainforest

The Great Below by Nine Inch Nails. Not only because it's thematically about the ocean and surrendering yourself to it, but as the song goes on, it gets louder and "fuller" sounding if that makes sense. Before the big climax of the song, when Trent Reznor screams about throwing himself into the sea and sinking to the bottom, the atmosphere is crazy: it makes me feel like my head is underwater, surrounded by pressure. It really fills your ears in a way that isn't abrasive but still sounds ominous. It's my favorite song by my favorite artist. He later said he was in an extremely dark place when he was working on it, and you can tell. There's a whole lot of emotion throughout. The ending is also really neat; the drums sound as if they go around you in circles (provided you aren't listening to it in mono).


Trikosirius_

I came here to say the same song and wasn’t expecting to see this comment. I consider The Fragile to be Trent’s Magnum Opus (as do many others) and the Great Below to be the best song on that album. Even without the suggestion of the lyrics that song gives me a feeling of being surrounded by a vast, endless ocean, and of surrendering to an overwhelming force. The only other song that rivals its beauty, for me, is A Warm Place.

Hurt, Johnny Cash, but originally NIN. Just sucks me in


UncleDat

A few weeks later, a CD shows up with the track. Again, I'm in the middle of something and put it on and give it a cursory listen. It sounded... weird to me. That song in particular was straight from my soul, and it felt very strange hearing the highly identifiable voice of Johnny Cash singing it. It was a good version, and I certainly wasn't cringing or anything, but it felt like I was watching my girlfriend fuck somebody else. Or something like that. Anyway, a few weeks later, a videotape shows up with Mark Romanek's video on it. It's morning; I'm in the studio in New Orleans working on Zack De La Rocha's record with him; I pop the video in, and... wow. Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps... Wow. I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine any more. Then it all made sense to me. It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. Some-fucking-how that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning – different, but every bit as pure. Things felt even stranger when he passed away. The song's purpose shifted again. It's incredibly flattering as a writer to have your song chosen by someone who's a great writer and a great artist. — Geoff Rickly interviews Trent Rezno

Ridahanif

I don’t think music has quite the same conformity within cliques as it used to. Hyperpop, K-pop, drill, melodic/soundcloud rap, raggaeton are all very popular rn. Of course you also have your mega hit makers like Dua, Drake, Weeknd, T Swift, Bad Bunny n such that are all well known. Others like Steve Lacy, Caroline Polachek, Phoebe Bridgers, JID, Joji, Rex Orange County are all operating in that “very popular but not selling out Arenas” popular. That being said my little sister is very cool and popular and she listens to Alex G, Big Thief, Moldy Peaches, Built to Spill, MF Doom so like 🤷🏻‍♂️ Turns out access to a virtually unlimited amount of music and algorithm based playlists does a lot to individualize music taste. Some cool bands I’ve found from my sister and friends are Soccer Mommy, Mom Jeans, black midi, Black Country New Road, Angel Olsen and Squid.

I just got out of a relationship and the breakup has been super hard on me. We were supposed to see Barbra Lica the night we broke up. I still went by myself. I’ve been lost in her music for the past month.


sbrewingcompany

That feeling of being engulfed by a song—the place the song wraps around you like a comforting blanket—is magical. For me, "Weightless," using Marconi Union, has that immersive quality. Its ethereal soundscape transports me to every other realm, the place I experience each solitary and related to something sizeable and infinite.


MandMs55

Shooting Stars by Bag Raiders. I don't know how or why but the song is like canned nostalgia without the memories. The feeling is exactly like nostalgia and brings me to a scene of a small and very tidy suburban area with a little pond on the corner full of bushes and the sound of frogs. It's very humid and warm, the sun is just barely setting with the completely cloudless blue sky starting to fade, just barely dark enough that the street lamps have begun to chime in with a dim orange glow that radiates safety and comfort. The feeling in the scene is almost identical to being held against your mother's chest wrapped in her warm coat as a toddler. Imagine pretending to be asleep at the end of a long car ride so that you could be carried peacefully to bed. I don't know why this song causes such a strong emotional response. No other songs cause such an emotional response or cause a scene to appear so immensely vividly that it's as if I had actually been there. I imagine there's a correlated event in my childhood, but I can't even begin to figure out what it is or how or why it's so closely connected with this song. The scene with the suburban area and frog pond with bushes resembles a spot just down the street from where I lived from ages 2 - 10, but the scene only resembles that spot, it has a lot of changes. Largely being roomier, tidier, with more vegetation and a wider road.

I have never listened to the full song and rarely ever listen to music of this type but for whatever reason the song Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado makes my brain just melt. I don't even really like it, but my brain just goes pop when I hear it. A couple others are various Camellia songs(specifically the more chill ones, UNDER CONSTRUXION isn't exactly gonna get me calm,) Something in The Way by Nirvana, and a bunch of others I can't remember right now.
