Discussion If you could choose a song to be remembered by...

[ThrowawayName]

What song would it be? I remember asking this same question to a coworker a few days back, and his such quick response surprised me... He instantly said " 'I Am the Highway by Audioslave', you don't know how many times I've cried to that song's melody"... And it's a sick song, full of angst in chris' voice... I love it. But also made me wonder how much someone's taste in music can be shaped by their life experiences...

So, here I am asking out of curiosity. To appreciate the choice of those who are willing to share it...


(Extra text you can read, if you want):
If could be remembered with a song, I guess It'd be "First Thing" by Roland Faunte. A lot of his work(underrated) accompanied me through stressful times and his lyrics were... relatable in a unique way? This particular song always gave me a very addictive bittersweet feeling.

I always said if I had a show about my life, I'm Not Alright by Shinedown would be the theme song.

 

[Bybye]

Dunno, this one?

Some good power metal for a powerful themesong i see. Always nice to hear

Dunno, this one?

Now that is for sure a song to get lost into... Man, those strings sections really did it for me.



Thank you for stopping by and sharing

Very basic, BUT, I love that song. The lyrics just sound like someone deeply tired wanting to escape to something wholesome & adventurous, or regress to a state of childlike imagination and wonder. I think it's pretty & comforting.

I love it since my childhood

I'd like "On the Nature of Daylight" by Max Richter - captures a sense of contemplation and quiet despair that I don't want people to forget.

Heyy, it's been quite a while since I last heard that song. Yeah, it definetly made me go back to childhood times and remember different people and places... Thanks for also sharing your insight on it

Mhmm, that is a tasteful guitar, got me hooked from the start. "Simple" instrumentation, but emotional complexity on each note, especially at the end. And that high range voice was really pearcing... Great song, thanks

Men I Trust - Numb

Dude... Men I trust is such a mood... Trully nice and beautiful choice

I love it since my childhood

My maan, I was not expecting to find a fellow stalker in here at all haha... But yes, it definetly is a memorable song. Loved it as soon as I heard it.
Post edit: I was bold to assume this song was made for the game, just realized it came 2 years before. If you knew the song from before, my apologies for being so oblivious

Ohh my lord, this song is in a personal playlist and I've heard it so many times... I... genuinely understand what you mean



Preciate everyone sharing their choice and their thoughts so far. (I wasn't expecting to find this many similarities in musical taste lol)

I love that piece.

 

[Quietist]

There's so many good ones to choose from.

But last year I fell in love with the lyrics from the show, "Day of the Jackal" where in the intro song, it says,

"Some flowers never get to bloom and see the day.... some flowers are content to wish their lives away..." which feels very resonant to my situation, unfortunately.

no me olvides don't forget me

Perdón, me puse a escuchar el álbum completo y olvidé comentar sobre la canción jajaj. Verdaderamente, una locura. En el buen sentido, claro está.
Nunca fui de escuchar muchos géneros semejantes al reggaeton/rap pero esto es de las cosas más entretenidas que he escuchado en mucho tiempo. Unas bases súper exóticas y las letras que les hacen de cereza sobre el pastel para mí. Muy, muy interesante. Gracias por compartirlo

some flowers are content to wish their lives away..

Mhmm, oh... I certainly believe our own minds can be a beautiful/comfy trap to fall into... Can't deny that...
That deep jazzy style along with her crisp beautiful voice really makes for an intoxicating combo.


I honestly might have to make a new playlist out of all these great music, no joke.
Thank you again for taking the time to share

I love songs but then, as an expression of how I feel about my life, I think it would more likely be something classical like this:



I think there's something so haunting/ slightly eerie about it. I think it also somehow expresses perceverance through difficulty- which is how I've experienced life pretty much. It's hard to explain but, this piece of music really resonates with me.

Hmm, I agree...
This piece I've also listened to a lot before... Generally speaking, I always keep a special place for classical or purely intrumental songs/ no lyrics... As most of the time they make for a very intimate and insightful experience.

It was a very good listen.
Again, thank you for taking the time and sharing.
