Music and songs easily move me so I couldn't really point out any single one [img]smile.gif[/img]
Accents? Doesn't really change anything for me [img]smile.gif[/img] |

Okkiez, there aren't really songs I relate to but there are songs that are really moving. "wind beneath my wings" and some chinese ones *grynz* as for accents. Well I really like american accents heehee... it's not so much a turn on as it attracts my attention although I have to agree with what's already been said and say that it's not so much the accent as the voice. I reckon also what kind of association you have in your mind with that timbre of voice is important and definitely the tone of voice ~smilez~ my 2cents *winkz*

mmm mmm... love those Aussie and Brit accents..
Songs..hmm. well probably tons.. you know Cloudy, she never picks one thing when she can have 10! I think maybe to start, I'd say, Garth Brooks(and Kent Blazy)- "How you ever gonna know". In general, it says a lot about how I see the world, but it has sentimental meaning for me now. Believe it or not, I was listening to this song the night Nachtrafe and I decided to take our relationship to 'real life' ..... several months and a few ups and downs later, I'm still a happy camper for having "taken the chance" [img]smile.gif[/img] Is that romantic enough for you, Larry? [img]smile.gif[/img] How You Ever Gonna Know Anything in life worth havin' Lord, it has its sacrifice But the gift that you're receiving Is worth more than the price How you ever gonna know What it's like to live there How you ever gonna know What you never knew How you ever gonna know If you're down here doin' What the good Lord put you here to do How you ever gonna know If you could have done it How you ever gonna know How it feels to fly How you ever gonna know If you never dare to try Listen not to the critics Who put their dreams on the shelf If you want to get the truth to admit it You gotta find out for yourself How you ever gonna know What it's like to be there How you ever gonna know If you're the best How you ever gonna know What you believe in If you don't put it to the test How you ever gonna know How it feels to hold him How you ever gonna know What livin' means How you ever gonna know If you never chase the dream How you ever gonna know Your potential How you ever gonna know victory How you ever gonna know What it's like when dreams become reality How you ever gonna know How it feels to hold her How you ever gonna know What it's like to dance How you ever gonna know If you never take the chance Cloudy [ 01-19-2002: Message edited by: Cloudbringer ]

I would suggest Lovely Day by Bill Withers for the song. As for accents, these days, any woman who engages me in flirtatious discourse per se has a sexy accent

LOL, Cloudy! My favourite accent has to be British, followed by Aussie too. And I love a good Irish/Scottish accent, preferably coming from old men - though not in a romantic sense of course
Some song texts I love: The Tea Party - The Messenger got a letter from a messenger i read it when it came it said that you were wounded you were bound and chained you had love and you were handled you were poisoned you were pained oh no you were naked you were shamed you could almost touch heaven right there in front of you liberty just slipped away on us now there's so much work to do oh the door that closes tightly is the door than can swing wide oh no not expecting to collide for a minute i let my guard down not afraid to be found out i completely forgot dear what our fears were all about oh no there's no need to be without if there's a chance i would take it this desire i can't kill take my heart please don't break it i will crawl to your foothill i'm frightened but i'm coming please baby please lay still oh no i'm not coming for the kill The Tea Party - Gone broken moments in time could till shine but they're getting old if you could see the world with my eyes you'd be so surprised at what you'd know so, if you see my angel of light with her sweet wine could you let me know because i think she's gone again fatal are these moments of trust that pleases us and who would know helped here by the passions of life now strife won't let me go so, if you see my angel of light with her sweet wine i think she needs to know that i've gone again i've really gone again i think i'm gone again so lonely Smashing Pumpkins - Soma (also check out Luna - I love that song) Nothing left to say And all I've left to do Is run away From you And she led me on, down With secrets I can't keep Close your eyes and sleep Don't wait up for me Hush now don't you speak To me Wrapped my hurt in you And took my shelter in that pain The opiate of blame Is your broken heart, your heart So now I'm all by myself As I've always felt I'll betray my tears To anyone caught in our ruse of fools One last kiss for me...yeah One last kiss good night Didn't want to lose you once again Didn't want to be your friend Fulfilled a promise made of tin And crawled back to you I'm all by myself As I've always felt I'll betray myself To anyone, lost, anyone but you So let the sadness come again On that you can depend on me, yeah Until the bitter, bitter end of the world, yeah When god sleeps in bliss And I'm all by myself As I've always felt And I'll betray myself To anyone

Oh and with regard to classical music, some of the most poignant arias I know are Pamina's "Ach, ich fühl' es, es ist verschwunden" from Mozart's Die Zauberflöte and the Martern aller Arten aria from Die Entführung aus dem Serail.
Oh, and the short coloratura from Carmina Burana: Dulcissime! Totam tibi subdo me... (Sweetest one! Ah! I give myself to you totally) followed by "Ave Formosissima": Ave formosissima! Gemma pretiosa Ave decus virginum Virgo gloriosa Ave mundi luminar Ave mundi rosa Blanziflor et Helena Blanziflor et Helena Venus generosa! (trans: Hail, most beautiful one, precious jewel, Hail, pride among virgins, glorious virgin, Hail. light of the world, Hail, rose of the world, Blanchefleur and Helen, noble Venus!)

I'm a huge music fan, and I tend to be extremely moved by it. But for me, it isn't just the lyrics that define a great, and/or moving song. It's the music itself - the instruments played, the melody, as well as the vocals. I get chills up my spine when I hear a truly amazing song. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I've always have a ton of different things that I want to say, and I'm not sure that anyone could put words to an emotion I felt exactly the way that I would want it to be said. But what makes artforms such as music, poetry, and even prose so beautiful is the fact that listening to someone else's take on something that you've felt or experienced can often make you reflect on your own feelings/opinions in new ways. As for whether I've ever thought of composing my own expression, I often do. [img]smile.gif[/img] Here are some songs that have notably moved me: *I Don't Want to Miss A Thing - Aerosmith (good call Garnet [img]smile.gif[/img] ) *Shameless - Garth Brooks *Stuck In A Moment - U2 *Heaven Coming Down - Tea Party *The Messenger - Tea Party *With Or Without You - U2 *All I Want Is You - U2 *Break Your Heart - Barenaked Ladies *To Where You Are - Josh Groban As for accents - they don't make a world of difference for me, but I do find Australian and Irish accents appealing.

Not exactly a romantic set of songs but I strongly recommend "Electro-shock Blues" by the Eels for anyone affected easily by music and lyrics. The album was written shortly after the lead singers sister killed herself due to mental problems, and his mother died of cancer. This left him the only surviving member of his family and he proceeded to write this album! You may think that makes it depressing, but it actually just makes it very moving. Lots of the songs are devoted to saying goodbye to his relatives, like "Last stop this Town" in which he imagines his sister flying down from heaven to say goodbye. It has lines like:
Taking a spin through the neighbourhood, The neighbours scream "Whatcha talking about", 'Cos they don't know how to let you in, And I can't let you out, Or it has songs like "Dead of Winter" about his mother. With lines like: So I guess your going pretty soon, Radiation sore throat got your tongue, Magic markers tattoo you and show it where to aim, Strangers break the promise that you won't feel any pain, But then the album finishes on a massive high after 15 songs about death and lonliness. The last song is called "PS You Rock my World" and it is basically about how he comes to terms with life after everyone has died. It is incredibly moving as it finishes such a soul searching album with the repeated line "Maybe its time to live" accompanied by a huge string section. In general the album is more of a concept album - the journey of the leadsinger/songwriter through all of his grief and back onto his life. The most moving experience of my life, that album. I strongly recommend it.

quote: Thanks, Garnet. I really feel obsolete, reading about all this music that I know nothing about. All I can say, is that if it moves anyone, it must be good. Also good toknow that there are so many romantics on the board, but, thinking about it, I guess fantasy and roleplaying wouldn't have much appeal to Realists, would it?

quote: Good point, you're right of course. All of the lyrics I mentioned are only so beautiful to me in combination with the music, the way they are sung, etc. It's the song as a whole that makes it touching, not just the lyrics. Hey, very cool that you know and like the Tea Party as well - they are very famous in Canada and Australia I hear, but in Europe they're a bit more obscure. They really have made some of the most poignant songs I ever heard. Oh, and another song I'd like to add (it's far from romantic, but very touching): the "Grabrede" from Hanns Eisler's Die Mutter (based on Berthold Brecht's play based on Maxim Gorki's novel [img]smile.gif[/img] ) It's probably not very well-known, so I thought I'd add it here and people may check it out. [img]smile.gif[/img] It's about a young communist getting executed, and it really captures so much in a simple melody and seemingly simple lyrics. My choir is performing it tonight in Paradiso, Amsterdam, so it's been on my mind all day. [img]smile.gif[/img] Grabrede Aber, als er zur Wand ging um erschossen zu werden, ging er zu einer Wand, die von seinesgleichen gemacht war. Und die Gewehre, gerichtet auf seine Brust, und die Kugel war von seinesgleichen gemacht. Nur fortgegangen waren sie also, oder vertrieben Aber für ihn doch da und anwesend im Werk ihrer Hände. Nicht einmal die auf ihn schossen waren andere als er, und nicht ewig auch unbelehrbar. Freilich, er ging noch gefesselt in Ketten geschmiedet von den Genossen, und angelegt dem Genossen, und er der dies begriff, begriff es auch nicht, Doch dichter wuchsen die Werke, er sah es vom Weg aus Schornstein an Schornstein, und da es am Morgen war, denn man führt sie am Morgen hinaus für gewöhnlich, waren sie leer. Er aber sah sie angefüllt mit jenem Heer, Das immer gewachsen war und noch wuchs. Ihn aber führten seinesgleichen zur Wand jetzt Und er, der es begriff, begriff es auch nicht.
