Songs You Love...

[Countess Cain]

What are some songs you truly adore? Ones that may have changed your total outlook on life?

I have quite a few, and some are even from Phantom of the Opera, in a philosophical kind of way. :duck:

However, the song I most identify with is hide's 'Misery'. To me, it's uplifting, yet kind of sad at the same time. And that's just the actual feel from listening to it, without knowing the lyrics.

Stay free your misery...

[Elladora]

I have been influenced by many songs. Rock, Disco and even classical. The 1812 Overture makes me get major goosebumps. I have often tried to choose an all time favourite song but failed miserably because my music tastes change with my moods. But a few songs will alway be in my top 10, The Beatles - Penny Lane, The Bee Gee's - Saturday Night Fever, Rush - Freewill. Plus many more...

[Reza Khan]

Alright, here's a small list:

Incubus- 11 a.m.
Grey Daze- Soul Song
The Guess Who- Undun
Muse- Blackout
Howie Day- Come Lay Down
Slipknot- Vermillion
The Eagles- Hotel California
Orgy- Stitches

[sing_for_me]

I don't particularly have a song or songs which have changed me. I think. Although I do have a theme song, which is Manamana by Animal and the Muppets.

I also love Into the Fire, from the musical The Scarlet Pimpernel. It's a great song.

And I love the song Ocean Soul by Nightwish.

[wolfwynd]

I adore the entire Jekyll and Hyde score - it encompasses each of every emotion and it is just *squee* - I especially love "I Need To Know", "Transformation" and "Confrontation"

[cinty]

I love this song, "Softly Whispering I love You". It's so beautiful. I also love "May It Be" which Enya sings at the end of The fellowship of the ring, and "In Dreams" is one of my favourite songs ever.
I love this Seekers song called "Morningtown" because it holds so many memories for me and I've known it all my life. "The Bush Girl" is another one by then that moves me deeply.
I have many songs that have wonderful effects on me. I love music!
"Ave Maria" and "panis angelicus" are two other songs I just love.

[Christine Daaé]

I haven't really been changed by song, but I know that Sarah Brightman made me want to learn to sing. All her songs are incredible.

I also love "My Immortal" by Evanescence. I cry every time I listen to that song, because I lost someone a while ago, and the song reminds me of that person.

I can't really choose a theme song for me -- there are too many to choose from!

~ Zelda de le Fantôme

[cinty]

"My Immortal" by Evanescence is one of the best songs ever. It's just so beautiful. beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
Has anyone hears "I Believe My Heart" from Woman In White? if you go
Keedies site (http://www.keedie.com/) you can hear it sung, not by the cast who sing it on the show, but Keedies version. It's a gorgeous, gorgeous song.

[Christine Daaé]

I also love "Love Song for a Vampire". It has nothing to do with vampires, strangely, other than being from a Dracula movie. That's where I got my post follower. I can really identify with the song, because I did once have the rarest rose that ever deigned to bloom. Really long story.

~ Zelda de le Fantôme

[Luciana]

Actually, 'Learn to be Lonely' changed me a bit... because it told me that i didn't have to spend my time wondering if HE'S right in front of me. I'm allowed to live without worrying if i'm less of a person without a boyfriend. For the first time, I was okay with not having a BF for reasons that weren't about a bad break up.

[angelofmusic]

My song is Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson. It describes me perfectly. I feel like no one listens to me and I'm trapped in this cage and I've lost the key. And all I have to do is "Breakaway".:)

[The_Persian]

MOTN -- micheal crawford and gerry butler versions
I've Got Spies-- The carnations
If You're not the one-- Daniel Bedingfield

[IamErik771]

Soundtrack Of My Life:
The entire score for POTO, Les Misérables, and Sweeney Todd
Star Wars Theme & The Imperial March
My Immortal - Evanescence
Love Changes Everything, from Aspects of Love
Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
Mr. Brightside & Somebody Told Me - The Killers
1985 - Bowling for Soup
Lasagna, eBay, The Saga Begins, Buy Me A Condo, & When I Was Your Age - "Weird Al" Yankovic

As you can see, it's quite a variety of different kinds of music. :D I know there are more, but I'll add them later. :)

[Ubaldo Piangi]

Let's see:

Several songs from PotO
"If You're Not The One" by Daniel Bedingfield
"Break Away" by Kelly Clarkson
"This Is How A Heart Breaks" by Rob Thomas
"Somebody Told Me" by The Killers
"Take Me Home" by Phil Collins

The last one that's a favorite of mine (though I haven't actually heard it in a while) is one that's a bit of an odd selection. It's titled "Indian Love Call" from the 1936 movie Rose Marie, a duet performed by Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. Awwww, they're so sweet together... :D Plus it's just so romantic, despite the absolutely sticky-sweet sappiness of the words and the melody.

[The Phantom]

Any song from Phantom of the Opera
"Behind these Hazel Eyes"- Kelly Clarkson
"Mr. Brightside" - The Killers
"Holiday & Boulevard of Broken Dreams" - Green Day
"Incomplete" - Backstreet Boys

These are just a few of my favorite songs. :nod:

[syioandthephantom]

One song I really identify with right now is 'Prelude 12/21' by AFI.

I'm also in love with the band HIM. I can't think of a song I don't actually have some connection with.

A few other songs are:

There's more...but I can't think right now.

[Night feather]

Oh there are so many absolutely fabulous songs in the world that it is hard to chose just one, but I have a fair few so here goes...

Jeff Buckley - Dream Brother, Hallelujah (I've heard so many interpretations of this song, but this is just the one that get's to me the most)

Within Temptation - Our Farewell

Loreena McKennitt - Dante's prayer

Enya - China roses, Caribbean Blue

Annie Lennox - Love song for a Vampire

Queen - Bohemian rhapsody, who wants to live forever, the show must go on

Rent - Without you, La vie boheme

Phantom of the opera - Music of the night, wandering child

As for theme song, I guess that it is Enya's china roses, because it just makes me feel confident and comforted, but also Beethoven's moonlight sonata just describes me so much I personally think...

And a million more, but i must be suffering from temporary amnesia because i cant remember them.

[ForbiddenRomance]

At the moment I love Not Ready to Make Nice-Dixie Chicks and Over My Head - The Fray

[MystMoonstruck]

I have dearly loved music throughout my life and have so many favorites because, well, I'm more than a half-century old.

My most recent "discovery" is "Lejla" (or "Leila") sung by Hajrudin Varesanovic, "the Nightingale of Sarajevo". It sent chills over me, even though I didn't have a translation of the lyrics at that time. A lady kindly provided me with that information. It won third place at Eurovision 2006, and I question this: What songs could be more beautiful and riveting as this one. Combined with the video, it's a magnificent, amazing experience, especially in a fan-fashioned video at a "Robin of Sherwood" fansite. Ask me about it if you want a major thrill--even if you aren't an ROS fan. I admit that it brought me to tears. I WILL have CDs by this angel-voiced man!

Other songs that have touched me deeply are:
"Time in a Bottle" by Jim Croce
"Dust in the Wind" by Kansas
"Don't Fear the Reaper" by Blue Oyster Cult
"Summertime" by Janis Joplin
"We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel
"I'll Be Seeing You" (the old WWII song)
"I Love You Truly" (my parents' wedding song)

Oh, there are far too many to list.

I especially love the old ballads, folktunes and traditional melodies of many countries. I've been a "songcatcher" for fortysome years. Now that I have my bowed psaltery, I can let others hear these melodies. Now, if I could become brave enough to sing, that would be far better.

SOUNDTRACKS: I also have to say that the music of John Williams is amazing, as are the composers Miklos Rozsa, Maurice Jarre, James Horner, Bernard Herrmann, Max Steiner and other often-overlooked musical magicians who have added so much to films but often receive little or no attention.

Remember: "The trouble with reality is there's no background music." LOL!

Now, I shall depart, having taken far too much of your time. (I love these forums! This is the best site I've discovered thus far!)

[Pyromaniac]

A song that mosts influences me or has influenced me. Well that depends on my mood generally when I'm depressed I'll go for Skillet, When I'm happy everything goes, but there is one song that will forever stick with me. It's one that my mom always use to sing to me to either put me to sleep or just because I wanted to hear her sing. The song is a little religous but I love it anyway. The title is "Here I am Lord" by Dan Schutte.

[theatresavvypirate]

I have alot, I won't share them all, but most are from musicals:

"Kiss Me"/"Ladies In Their Sensitivies" ~ Sweeny Todd
"I Don't Care Much" ~ Cabaret
"I Wanna Be A Producer" ~ The Producers
"Heavy Metal Drummer" ~ Wilco
"Dirty Business" ~ The Dresden Dolls
"Attractive Today" ~ Motion City Soundtrack
"Music of the Night" ~ The Phantom of the Opera
"Elegance" ~ Hello, Dolly!

[Easy Breezy]

I love classical and Celtic music, and recently got hooked on C-pop and J-pop (specifically Utada Hikaru). So here is a sample of my playlist:

Utada Hikaru's "Exodus '04"
Enya's "Only Time"
Ah Sang's "Yi Zhe Hen An Jing"
Enya's "Long Long Journey"
Utada Hikaru's "Hotel Lobby"
Wolfgang Rübsam's performance of Bach's 2-part Invention #8
Zanarkland, performed by Nobuo Uematsu

and of course, "The Phantom of the Opera" and "All I Ask of You" from the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack. :)

[masquerading rose]

Vivo Per Lei- Andrea Bocelli (Actually, I love all of his music. He has an amazing voice and all of his lyrics are touching and poingnat)

Symphony- Sarah Brightman (Actually, I love all of her stuff as well. And if there's a song I dislike (which very rare), her angelic voice makes up for it)

There's More to Me Than You- Jessica Andrews

Anything from Michael Bublè and Josh Groban.

So she dances- Josh Groban

Online- Brad Paisley

Last Name- Carrie Underwood

Annie- Vanessa Carlton

I know there are a lot more, but there are so many, that they just don't come to mind...

[phantom's_rose]

The songs I am obsessing over right now...

Helena -My Chemical Romance

Just A Dream -Carrie Underwood

Online -Brad Paisley

Waitin' on a Woman -Brad Pasiley

And I am currently obsessing over Josh Groban, Andre Bocelli, Nancy Griffith, and Moody Blues...

[angelgirl]

I have way too many favorite songs to count, but I will list some here.

Almost anything from POTO. (Except "Masquerade" and "Prima Donna". Don't like those songs.)
Just A Dream- Carrie Underwood. (It makes me cry.)
Love Story- Taylor Swift. (Fantastic video.)
I Can Only Imagine- MercyMe.
Almost anything Disney. (Except Hannah Montana. I cannot STAND her.)

Anyway, that's my list. (I'm not really in a thinking mood right now, or I would put more.)

Also, has anybody heard "Decode" by Paramore? I really like that song!
A.G.

[Nocturne]

I love lots of songs but not all of them have really touched or influenced me. Here's a brief list...

The Sharpest Lives, Cancer and This Is How I Disappear, by MCR.
Walk This Way and Dude, Looks Like A Lady, by Aerosmith.
Hysteria, Supermassive Black Hole and Plug In Baby, by Muse.
Californication, by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Sugar We're Goin Down, Dance Dance and I Don't Care, by Fall Out Boy.
The Pretender, by Foo Fighters.
When You Were Young, Somebody Told Me, Mr Brightside and Read My Mind, by The Killers.

Okay, so it wasn't brief. ;) In terms of songs that really affected me, I can only think of The Ice Is Getting Thinner, by Death Cab For Cutie. I was trying to work out how not to break up with a boy, if you know what I mean, and it kinda made me realise that maybe breaking up really would be better. And...yeah.

I know The Phantom of the Opera by John Cudia was one of the songs thta really changed me. Maybe to some (*cough*most*cough*) of you John Cudia wasn't the best but he was my first Phantom! And when I heard him sing the song that I longed to hear since I was 6 (whether I knew it or not ) it really changed the way I looked at the world of arts... It made me adore opera, it made me love The Phantom of the Opera, it made me listen to Susan Boyle..! It made MELT with a new feeling inside of me! Even now I still feel like fainting and disappearing into the fantasies of that one song... that one voice... that one face...

Emmy Rossum's [I]Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again was also another song that I simply adore that even made me discover a new talent (not that I am trying to brag)! I never EVER took singing lessons before and I have onyl taken singing seriously for two months (3 starting next week) and only just now got myself lessons that don't even start till next week yet..! When I started practising that song along with her version of Think of Me my mother told me I was good for a person whom never took lessons, 2 peope I don't know told me I was pretty good, my friends said the same! I realy think i discovered a talent but not only that! I read about her, she only made my hopes higher for NYC and now I wish to move there instead of fearing the day I do! She also got me started in piano after first hearing Think of Me. Heck, I think she gave me a second jump-start on my musical life and has awaken my musical side once more! What a joy!

And I think thats it on the topic of "songs I adore that changed my life".

Right now, it's Pink's "F***in Perfect". Where has that song been? It describes the way I grew up to a T!

Recently, Sierra Boggess's version of Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again. Absolutely gorgeous. But I really enjoy Time To Say Goodbye with Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli. It definitely got me into classical music!!
