Music that really gets to you.

Posted by: Reburner on 07 June 2013

So tell me what tracks/albums really move you. i realise this is a very personal thing but I would be interested to hear what the responses are.

 

Following a recommendation from here i purchased Diamond Mine (King creosote & John Hopkins). It took me a few listens to get into it but then something just clicked and the music and lyrics really affected me. This culminated in me, whilst listening to it in the car the other day, having to pull over because it provoked such strong emotions. 

 

(Obviously any one posting has to take a deduction in man points but so be it)

Agreed. It's all in the pause in the middle,  i.e.  'it's been a long, long time............................., hasn't it'

Tim Finn " no thunder , no fire, no rain ". This was on his '86 big canoe album, I love everything about this song, it just engages and electrifies me on every level. 

I also just found out it was inspired by the Bhopal disaster, a more sad and moving song now I know what it is about.
