 Topic: Moments from songs
Posted: April 24 2006 at 13:00 |
Hey
I bet you all have such moment in some songs that just make you cry or seem very interesting/touching and make you have emotions like never before. These moments often arent even noticed by other people, theyre just special to you. What prog moments are your specials?
For me its Dream Theater's - Through her eyes, that part when LaBrie sings "in loving memory of our child, so innocent eyes open wide". To be honest, it always makes me want to cry. I feel violated when i listen 
The other is Pain Of Salvation - Beyond The Pale. I just cant stop being unnaturally happy when Daniel sings "i had tp take this walk down remedy lane of whens and whys". This time its not the lyrics that are so touching but the way Daniels sings this little diamond.
I cant remember any more moments now, but if this topic will seem interesting to you i'll try to remember more

The "I Get Up I Get Down" section from Close To The Edge used to bring tears to my eyes whenever I listened to it. Beautiful!

The ending of Camel's "Unevensong" makes me reassess my life every time I listen to it. Period. I also get goosebumps when the Sax comes charging in in National Health's "Portrait of a Shrinking Man" and when the final lucid guitar notes sound of doom in Henry Cow's "Ruins". Not to mention the coda to King Crimson's epic "Starless".

That part is beautiful 
Someone else mentioned the build-up at the end of Echoes. That's amazing.
I also love the end of Gates of Delirium (Soon, oh Soon...)
The end of Take the Veil (Who brought me here?)
Court of the Crimson King -- when the mellotron theme from Epitaph comes in.

When Jon sings "I feel lost in the city-yyyyyyy..." the last time in Heart of the Sunrise gives me shivers; also the Gilmour solo in Time and the last 6 minutes of Echoes

Speaking of codas, besides "Starless" (which I absolutely love) I'd also mention "Epitaph" - the way Greg Lake's voice fades into the waves of sound produced by the Mellotron is absolutely heart-wrenching. Another very moving moment is the one which I have chosen as my sig - the ending of Rush's "Witch Hunt", with Geddy Lee's voice emoting over washes of synthetisers.
There are probably other thousands of moments I don't remember now, but I'd like to mention a non-prog one: the start of the third verse of Blue Oyster Cult's mighty "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" on "ET Live", when Buck Dharma's guitar slows gradually down after a searing solo and the drums take up the initial pattern once again. Pure magic!

Chorus of Shadow Gallerys Crystaline dream, DT's "Now the miracle and the sleeper know that the third is love. Love is the dance of eternity". Blind guardian - And then there was silence where Hansi sings "Sorrow and defeat". I fill never forgive them for not playin g that song till the end on Imaginations Through The Looking Glass". OH oh oh oh ...... how could i forget....Confusion...Will be my epitaph

Most Genesis songs have such moments for me.
11th Earl of Mar - middle section (Time to go to bed now...). This is pure beauty!
Musical box - the whole song really!
Stagnation - ...and each will find a home...
Just to mention very few.

Right after that, Wakeman's pipe organ, then the whold band coming in. I always thought Alan White spoiled that portion of the song by putting in drum fills.

the end of "Awaken"
the ending of "Musical Box"
and Spock's Beard "Wind at my back" from Snow.

This was the song that started me into Prog
My moment is when Hackett comes in with the screaming guitar - shiver me timbers!
