For me it’s “We won’t be a alone” by Feint feat. Laura Brehm. I just have nostalgia attached to it and it brings back some nice summer memories.
This post is also for song recommendations since I listen to the same songs for years and I guess I wanna hear something new.
Edit: grammar mistake corrections
Rum & bass by boom kitty
Not quite the same vibe as the rest here but this song makes me feel like I could walk through a cement wall and fist fight an army
Great on a rowing machine at the gym if you really want to set a PR
Witch by TotalDeadCenter hits similarly
Kill 'em All era Metallica, or the MTV acoustic Alice in Chains.
I love Layne’s voice! AIC was one of my favorite bands.
Best ever chill metal song: Orion.
Somewhere Only We Know by Keane, it always makes me think of good time with my ex. Sting like a bullet train everytime i listen to it.
Hallelujah performed by Jeff Buckley.
And, as mentioned, Mr Cash’s haunting and painful rendition of Hurt.
Jeff does the best version.
I know I have the minority opinion; even Cohen said he like Buckley’s version better. But I just like Cohen’s more. Part of it is his baritone voice, but I love the depth the backup singers give it.
What’s neat is that people have such strong feelings on this. It’s truly a great song.
Baz Luhrmann - Everybody’s Free To Wear Sunscreen
John Safran - Not the Sunscreen Song
😁😁
NiN - Hurt.
Simon and Garfunkel - Sound of Silence.
It’s interesting how original Hurt by NiN has very different vibes than its cover by Johnny Cash. It’s like it’s different song, but still the same. Both deep, just different.
Yeah, the original always hit me harder but both are very emotional. I think it’s also to do with the orchestration.
The best way I can describe the emotional difference is that Reznor’s version depicts ruinous destruction of a young person’s life, and Cash’s version depicts a lifetime of regret. Their literal ages obviously help convey it, but the arrangement and style really sell it
Disturbed’s cover of the sound of silence is profoundly better than the original; I highly suggest you check it out
Have you seen the Disturbed covid video of Sound of Silence? Makes me cry every fucking time!
The Taxpayers - Go Fetch a Priest

All three “parts” of Metallica - The Unforgiven God, those lyrics…
But 2 though, is something specialer
Although I’m not a fan of U2, I think “sometimes you can’t make it on your own” is such a song to me. Also some stuff from hospice and burst apart albums from the antlers.
Ugly Kid Joe - Cats in the Cradle
I’m currently re-aligning my entire life with the goal of not becoming the dad in this song.
Originally from Harry Chapin.
Part of this song is about how fast life goes by, not just the dad not being there. Sad to say you can’t fix that.
I actually don’t have much of a problem with that.
If I die tomorrow, I’ll have a smile on my face knowing I’ve lived well.
On the other hand I’m still looking forward cause life keeps getting better.
Lately, Bjork - Stonemilker
Halo intro sound track.
Specifically this performance of Danny Nedelko by Idles: https://piped.video/watch?v=Sc63fTPttEQ
It’s a song about how immigrants are normal people with thoughts and feelings, our friends and family and so on, released when an anti-immigration sentiment was completely mainstream, but also just as Corbyn was becoming popular, and the singer’s belting it out despite being knackered, and the crowd’s belting it back, until he falls down crying because everyone’s onside with his song he’d written about friendship and love, and the guitarist takes over without a second thought, and his wife comes out with their baby in a papoose to kiss him… I’m getting a lump in my throat just describing it.
Thank you, I didn’t know the song and I am deeply moved by it ❤️
Guess you should go search for more Laura’s songs.Ii love her voice too!
The Other Side by Public Service Broadcasting really drew me in the first time I listened to it.
Also Open Your Eyes by Snow Patrol gives me the feels for some reason.
The Other Side just hits right in the good parts of humanity. I just can’t help but be amazed that humans did that whenever I listen to that song.
