This Woman's Work- by Maxwell had me ready to cry

I'll Fly Away- It's an old negro spiritual and depending on who's singing it I could just breakdown.... :(

Cleaning out my closet by Eminem

[Freestyle]

My choices are pretty much heavier :D

Creed - My own prison (don't like them very much but this song is really good and you feel the pain)

Radiohead - Paranoid Android (his voice is... )

Pearl Jam - Black (can't say anything... just listen the song)

Stone Temple Pilots - Plush (I was in shock when I first heard this song, Scott Weiland is my favorite singer... he's junkie but anyway I think he's the :thumbsup: )

Soundgarden - Black hole sun (music, lyrics... )

Audioslave - I am the highway (Gotta :pumpheart: Chris Cornell!!)

Lionel Richie - Hello (don't ask me why, lol)

Puddle of mudd - Never change (the lyrics...)

There are a couple more...

<span style='color:blue'> Girl!!!!!

@ Ex-Factor... this is the song that marked the end, the REAL of my relationship with my ex fiancee... we had broken up, and stopped living together, but we were still seeing each other... one day we were lying in bed, and I&#39;d never really listened to the song, but as we lay there, I did.... and I just started crying because everything she was saying was just hitting home... he just held me and let me cry, but after that day, it was really, really over for us. that songs tears me up every time ( and I&#39;m not a cryer), so needless to say I don&#39;t spin L Boogie too often.


@Green Eyes, that song does it for me too...this song described to a tee how I was feeling when I was still messing around with the ex, before we knew it was all the way over.

The other songs that speak to me are

Sometimes, and When Will You Call by Bilal.... ESPECIALLY When Will You Call.... my heart just aches for him.

Always Will and Motel by Tweet

My Life, Be Happy, Not Gon Cry, No Happy Holidays and ESPECIALLY Never Wanna Live Without You by Mary J Blige... actually most of her "unhappy" songs, but those are the most heart wrenching ones, to me.

A Song for You.... Donny Hathaway&#39;s interpretation

Careless Whisper by George Michael

Don&#39;t Be Afraid, Love Can&#39;t Hide, Brand New Man, No Way, Tears Away by Faith Evans


Neither One Of Us... by Gladys Knight

ALL of Maxwell&#39;s Urban Hang Suite, and other things already listed here....oohwee!

First Time Ever--Roberta Flack




Have you heard Jeffrey Gaines&#39;s version of the Roberta Flack song? ! Heart wrenching!!!!!!!

Also Aretha Franklin&#39;s recording of "Nessun Dorma" *shudder* I was bawling like a baby by the end.

Ooops - also forgot, as a Prince fan "Darling Nikki" , "Question of you" , "Under the Cherry Moon", "Cool as the other side of the Pillow" "How come you won&#39;t call me Anymore" "The Ladder"

[mrandmrsmer]

Nicole C. Mullen:

My Redeemer Lives - I had heard this song before, but one time last month when I was listening to it, it had me in tears. She sings it so beautifully, and the lyrics ring so true.

Come Unto Me - Lyrics are beautiful and comforting.

@ Freestyle: It&#39;s interesting how you wrote down Black Hole Sun, because I was thinking about that song, too.

Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug. I used to think the song and vid were cool, especially towards the end where the lyrics are, "Without you everything falls apart. It&#39;s not as much fun to pick up the pieces." I still don&#39;t know to this day why I liked that song. :huh:

Mariah Carey:

Vanishing - Need I write more?
Till The End Of Time
The Wind
So Blessed - Such a very beautiful love song. Very appropriate for a wedding.
Can&#39;t Let Go - Not overly emotional, but you can tell she&#39;s heartbroken, and I just love that song anyway. :)

How could I forget Amel Larrieux&#39;s Make Me Whole. What an enormously, extraordinarily beautiful song!!! And the only instrument she has behind her is a piano. I love it!!!!!!!

Maxwell:

Gravity: Pushing To Pull - what a haunting song. Can you tell it&#39;s about being obsessed with someone or something? :lol: I was addicted to this song myself for a minute. :unsure: :lol:

Also Overjoyed by Stevie Wonder made me cry when I was a teenager.

I Wanna Know What Love Is - the original 80&#39;s version.

I forgot about Sade. All of her songs have a rich emotional undertone, but I especially like Is It a Crime and Love Is Stronger Than Pride.

Mary J&#39;s performance of "No More Drama" on the Grammy&#39;s a couple of years back. I only thought the song was just OK prior to that, but Mary turned it out that night. Gave me chills and s***!
I couldn’t agree with you more. When I saw it she made me get up out my chair. That performance was something else. Every time I hear the song I think of that performance. What ever she was feeling I felt it too.

"Fool Of Me" by MeShell NdegeOcello - great song

[starchild]

Nope! You&#39;re not the only die-hard Sade fan here!

I have loved her music since I was 12 or 13. (Okay, I&#39;m telling my age here... :lol:), especially Is It A Crime! OOF! I got the opportunity to see her for the first time in my life in concert last August, and I was THRILLED!! My hubby couldn&#39;t go, but I bought him a T-shirt! ;) She is sooo gorgeous in her 40s! Still loving her music!!!

[mrandmrsmer]

"That Name Is Jesus" and "Jesus Kept Me" by Yolanda Adams. These are both are very uplifting, encouraging, strongly positive and emotional songs. I enjoy listening to them the most from her Mountain High, Valley Low CD.

[naturalme22]

:D like i said music is the best .... for u spiritual sistahs.... "take Away" by yolanda adams .. on the more than a melody cd.... that song just brings me to tears & it will humble u before god.... and it&#39;s a song on one of kirk franklin&#39;s cd&#39;;s..... um the storm is over now!!!! thank u jesus!!!! when god brings u out of something, that song will really touch your heart... :afro: hey i have LOVED sade since i was 12 or 13 also, so u are not telling your age... i am 23!!!! i have known about her since i was really young but it was at 12/13 that i fell in love with her music.... (wow that&#39;s a serious statement! :blink: ) also whitney houston ~ ummm i forgot the name of it... the one that starts... it&#39;s not very easy livin&#39; all alone, my friends try to tell me find a man of my own"oh i remember ..savin all my love 4 u !!!! i know how it feels in that situation boy!!! :lol:

[naturalme22]

<span style='font-family:Courier'>oh yeah "my favorite mistake" by sheryl crow... i love her music.. and "take a bow" madonna.. that&#39; s the BEST madonna song ever made.... hey her new cd is nice too... and vivian green&#39;s what is love.... oh yes oh yes....

I TOLD U..... (in my arnold swarznegger {sp} voice)

I&#39;LL BE BACK!!!!! :lol:

PEACE MEAGAN :afro:

[mrandmrsmer]

That Whitney song you&#39;re referring to is "Saving All My Love For You." I remember when it first came out, every girl was trying to sing it, like her remake of "The Greatest Love Of All". :lol: Saving All My Love isn&#39;t necessarily a song that moves me, but I think most women can relate to the lyrics. :)

[mrandmrsmer]

What about Alanis Morrissette&#39;s "You Oughta Know?" The angry, white female song!! :lol: I was digging her A LOT back in &#39;95/&#39;96 when she came out. I even went to one of her concerts.

Three days ago rolled over to an empty bed
And I went to the bathroom and your toothbrush wasn&#39;t there.
Where&#39;s your clothes and where&#39;s your shoes
Got to start a new life without you
I can&#39;t sleep and I can&#39;t eat and I won&#39;t until I hear your voice
When will you call?
No notice no letter you just packed your **** and left girl
I deserve better
I treated you like no one else
How could you, you know I loved you and I thought this was true now we&#39;re through
What I&#39;m gonna do
Gotta start a new life without you.
Now we&#39;re through
What to do
Got to start a new life without you
When will you call...

Waiting for ya call
Waiting for ya call
Waiting for ya call, baby
Waiting for you to just sing a word in my ear and let me know that your hear forever.

Call me! Call me! Call!
When will you call.

i promise you i will - depeche mode &#39;i&#39;m sorry that i am thinking of the right words to say, i know they come out the way i plan them to be, but if you went around the world... i promise you i will&#39;

because the night - 10,000 maniacs &#39;lust is an angel disguised as lust... in our bed until the morning comes&#39;

leaving on a jet plane - the mamas and the papas &#39;so kiss me and smile for me... tell me you wont wait for me... hold me like you never let me go...i&#39;m leaving on a jet plane, dont know when i&#39;ll be back again...&#39;

strange and beautiful - aqualung &#39;you&#39;ll be so perfect for me, but you just can&#39;t see... you turn every head but you dont see me... and i&#39;ll put on a spelll on you... but you&#39;ll fall asleep&#39;

i miss you - bjork - but i havent met you yet, so special but i havent seen you yet... and, if you believe in dreams, what is more important, that dreams can true... i.. i will meet you&#39;

goreki - lamb &#39;lost in warmth of you... loving every breath of you... lost my heart this moment, and it might burst.. can i stay right here, till the end of time, till the earth stops turning...&#39;

Haunt me
stronger than pride
is it a crime ( have u ever had a JONES!!!)
clean heart
pearls
like a tattoo (i am not too sure what this song is about, but i feel it)
never thought i&#39;d see the day
Maureen ( the best)
couldn&#39;t love u more
every word
it&#39;s only love that gets you through(she wrote this song 4 me! im convinced)
your love is king.... damn i could go on&on &on ... IMO SADE is the reigning (sp) queen of vocalists (female)... her music speaks to my soul in ways that i cannot even begin to explain..some call me a groupie, some and obsessed fan... whatever, (if u knew me u&#39;d say the same) her music is my soul mate.. and not even in a sexual or sensual way, her music just speaks volumes in my life....


hey girl! HECK no! ......if you are the biggest Sade fan, then my boyfriend and I are the second and third biggest lol :thumbsup: He has an MSN group devoted to THE LADY and her band called the Sade Society lol. in fact, i MET him through another msn group called Sade Fans International, last year and found out that he lived here in Houston. the sade forum at the official site is always buzzin&#39;. still no new tour info, though :unsure: her Lover&#39;s Rock concert was my first time seeing her live, btw. fabulous!

and of course, i love ALL of her songs for their emotional content.....

I Never Thought I&#39;d See the Day.............almost spooky

Somebody Already Broke My Heart........nuff said lol

Never As Good As the First Time.........groovy!

Bullet Proof Soul...........nuff said lol


the list goes on and on


i also like..... Feel It and Running Up that Hill by Kate Bush and I Put a Spell on You by the late Nina Simone :thumbsup:

[blumoonbabe]

How did I forget


"Holding Back The Years" by Simply Red? Awww man....*running out of thread before my eyes start getting misty*

[soulJam]

I LOVE Iris by the Goo-Goo Dolls
It&#39;s in that angel movie with Nicolas Cage

Verse 1

And I’d give up forever to touch you,

cause I know that you feel me somehow.

You’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be,

and I don’t want to go home right now.

And all I could taste is this moment,

and all I could breathe is your life.

And sooner or later it’s over,

I just don’t want to miss you tonight.


Chorus

And I don’t want the world to see me,

cause I don’t think that they’d understand.

When everything’s made to be broken,

I just want you to know who I am.


And I will always be drawn to the oh, oh,oh&#39;s of Lenny Williams I love You :)

purple rain- prince
i remeber when he sung that song on the american music awards and he started crying. I actually thought that purple rain was a true story because he was crying. i thought he was crying for his dead father

[Laniza]

Great topic! I guess my songs so far would have to be:

Bilal "When Will You Call"- Like Blumoonbabe said, will someone PULEEZE call him!!

Lauryn Hill "The Sweetest Thing"- I went out and bought the Love Jones Soundtrack mainly just for this song!

Sade "King of Sorrow"- Love the song and the video. Can&#39;t forget about "Is It A Crime","Smooth Operator", or "Kiss of Life" either! Man, does she get better with age or what?

Amel Larrieux "Infinite Possibities"and "10 Minute High" from her Groove Theory days- Always inspirational and her voice is so angelic...

Maxwell "Submerge" and "Till the Cops Come Knockin"- SEXY ain&#39;t even the word!!!

Meshell N&#39;degeocello "Fool of Me", "Dredlocs" and "Dead N*gga Blvd", heck, everything by her!

The Isley Brothers "Between the Sheets" and "Eternal"- Classic sexiness

Marvin Gaye "When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You"- Anyone that can theme a WHOLE ALBUM about the trials and tribulations of a failed marriage is dope in my book!

Res "Ice King"- haunting hook (Although you are an ice king, everything that you gave to me, comes from the destitute and the torn, I can&#39;t live this life no more)...

N&#39;Dambi "Deep" and "From the Abyss"- I fell in love with her the moment I heard her tear it up on Silly E. Badu&#39;s "Next Lifetime (Live)" and I haven&#39;t gotten enough of N&#39;Dambi since!!

Speaking of Ms. Badu, "Next Lifetime", "Drama", "Green Eyes", and "On and On Part II" are all beautifully written...

Ambersunshower "Walter T"- a dedication to her grandfather

Sinead O&#39;Connor "Nothing Compares 2 U"- WOW!

There&#39;s more but I&#39;ll leave it alone for now! :D

WHERE is Ms. Amber? Is she performing locally or something? She totally dropped off the scene after her album hit.... I liked her!

[Laniza]

Ambersunshower is the bomb but I have no idea what she&#39;s currently working on! Does anyone else know?

[Sunshine]

Any song made by Vesta in the late eighties/ early nineties:

Husband
As We Lay
Congratulations

YIKES! She made me wary of relationships and I was only in junior high school!

[CocoDiva]

My song list:
Strong Enough - Sheryl Crow --- Are you strong enough to be my man?
3 Libras - A Perfect Circle --- I threw you the obvious to see what occurs behind the eyes of a fallen angel
Tell it like it is - Aaron Neville --- If you want something to play with, go and find yourself a toy
And you don&#39;t remember - Mariah
Ne me quite pas - Nina Simone

And Ambersunshower did fall off quick, but I&#39;ve heard her on a few of Tricky&#39;s CDs.

[Curlysaurus]

A couple of "raw and honest" songs for me offhand would include:

Jolene - Dolly Parton ("Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jo-le-e-e-ene, please don&#39;t take my man from me, Jolene")

Pearl - Al Green [Actually, anything by him. Al can make me cry or make me want to love my man or both]

Peniten. Philosophy - E. Badu [Makes me really think about the state of my People]

Beautiful - C. Aguilera (I am not generally a fan of hers)

[blumoonbabe]

And since we&#39;re talking about A Perfect Circle, can&#39;t forget about Maynard&#39;s other band Tool. All their stuff is raw with emotion.

3 Libras is the name of a song by the group A Perfect Circle. This song is on the album "Mer De Noms." It&#39;s not bad. 3 Libras is the best song on there, in my opinion.

Fellow libra over here!

"Orange Moon" by Eryka Badu

"Gloomy Sunday" by Billy Holiday
Sunday is gloomy,
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coaches
Sorrow has taken you
Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Wouldn&#39;t they be angry
If I thought of joining you?

Gloomy is sunday,
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all
Soon there&#39;ll be candles
And prayers that are said I know
But let them not weep
Let them know that I&#39;m glad to go
Death is no dream
For in death I&#39;m caressin&#39; you
With the last breath of my soul
I&#39;ll be blessin&#39; you

Gloomy Sunday

Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart here
Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is tellin&#39; you
How much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday :blink: :(

[jazzypom]

gabriel - by lamb. The first line goes &#39;i can fly/ but i want his wings/ i can shine even in the darkness/ but i crave the light that he brings/ revel in the songs that he sings/ my angel gabriel

gorecki - by lamb - really powerful stuff. If i should die/ this very moment, then i wouldn&#39;t fear/ cause i have known completeness/ like being here/ lost in the warmth of you/ loving every breath of you/ stop my heart this moment/ or it might... burn/


lovesong - the cure - when i&#39;m all alone with you/ it makes me feel... like i am whole again/ - a really nice song. I quite like tori amos&#39;s version of it.

broken - bjork

i like these songs because the purity of the emotion comes through and hits you in the gut and does not let go until they are finished.

[Joslyn]
