What song hits you hard whenever you listen to it? (lemmy.world)

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.

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.

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

Yeah, the original always hit me harder but both are very emotional. I think it's also to do with the orchestration.

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!

[–] tiredofsametab@kbin.run 1 points 8 months ago

I did and I don't think I liked it for some reason, but it's been such a long time I can't clearly recall.
