Three Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Behold this man's pipes. In terms of sheer power and range, I've never heard a more impressive combination of the two. Many male vocalists can hit high notes, but their voice tends to get thinner and squeely. Especially if you aren't naturally a tenor. But, what makes this so impressive to me is that, this man is naturally a baritone. This song showcases a effortless 3 octave range. And what adds to my amazement is his versitility. He's by no means a one trick pony. Here's him singing a bluesy almost gospel like style with a choir of his own recorded vocal parts. The part starts at 8:30 And to cap it all off, here's some whitney houston/ dolly parton. This man has amazed me since i was 15. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgFAq9Q8l8U
Aaron727 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 A sad song about a sane man living in an insane world.
DustyOne Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I went a bit back in time on this one. I find myself hearing this one in my head too.
cynicist Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 Here's something fun and energetic, with drums/bass/sax.
QueechoFeecho Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Anything by K-Rino: Annhilation of the Evil Machine (any FDR fan should enjoy the story in this song) Duality No Redemption Pantheon Journey Through the Metaphor Labyrinth
cynicist Posted June 26, 2014 Author Posted June 26, 2014 Something different, here's some alternative.
Aaron727 Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 Gentleness clears the soul, love cleans the mind and makes it free.
American_Crow Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 For those who enjoy hip hop, I've recently found a collection of rappers that I'm really into. They are independent artists who together form the collective Grand Unified. Of these I listen to Tombstone da Deadman and Greydon Square a lot. The two songs that I am keen on sharing are by C Gats and Greydon Square - these two songs are very emotionally significant for me. C Gats – Dear Fatherhttp://youtu.be/bbJ25Tanm14Greydon Square – Dear Journalhttp://youtu.be/HAMLSahPgaQSorry no embed, but my technology is allergic to that function.
Canoe_Captain Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Sundown - "Turn It Around" Locked out, Locked in, You have to scream and shout and break in the door till you find your way back in. Look left, look right. Don't be afraid to get on the way, You know you still got time. You got to turn it around, Baby when it all comes down Get your feet back on the ground. http://youtu.be/prhp3t8KN10
RealP Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Very catchy ditty by Paul McCartney that talks about humanizing the "enemy" in war.
Brazilda Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Pretty much every forum I've ever visited has had this thread so I'm surprised I didn't see it here. We do have a liberty-themed one but I thought this one would be fun for people who just want to share whatever happens to be tickling their earbuds in the moment.
MMX2010 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Have been listening to this on repeat the last two days. I absolutely adore the two lines in the chorus, "It's a new art form, showing how little we care!" - followed immediately by the manipulative bullshit line, "We're so happy, even when we're smiling out of fear!" Summarizes pretty much everyone who doesn't have good philosophy.
NeoCortex Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 This album is so fucking good. I love this kind of artists. Combining different styles of music with which is basically poetry. An example of counter-culture doing good work. That people can have their paradigm changed by a ''rapper'' is simply amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcr9XKj1ZwE ''Yeah I try to spread a message, but really ambitionIs what is driven through my lyricsI'm really a gimmickNot that I don't put my heart and my soul in the wordsIt's just I askIf the bars are changing the EarthHow arrogant is it to think we can change it trough art?Only slightly less arrogant than thoseWho believe that we can'tSo pull a bit harderWe may just crumble the house of cards'' If anyone is into more grimy stuff, and likes wordplay - here's another one of the same artist. This was actually recorded live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0kbuFpL0u8 ''Bigger than that what is going on with thisPrison in America’s a private businessThey get paid 50k per year per inmate by the State, just wait…Also legally are allowed to use their prison inmates as slavesCheap slave labour, big corporationsThey come out of jail, can’t get a jobSo when we celebrate going to jailWe are LITERALLY CELEBRATING ENSLAVEMENTAdd to that, that the hood that you’re livin’Engineered social condition that breeds crime by designWhere do you think you get your nine?''
Three Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 And I love everything about this korn song. I love the rattle sounding bass. I love those drum licks. I the back and forth 7 string guitars. I love how during the chorus the music gets louder, but the vocals ascend to a pretty falsetto which then turns into a powerful growl.
Canoe_Captain Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 A brief musical history of the land called Israel/Palestine. Including the 1960 Exodus song performed by Andy Williams and Quincy Jones.
cynicist Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 Ok something new. Here is some Industrial Metal. Two because I feel like it.
RealP Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Steven Summerstone's music is ideal for journaling, really gets me in the mood for some soul-searching
Psychophant Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Die Prinzen - Millionär. The idiosyncratic, witty and provocative a capella band Die Prinzen with their smash hit Millionär. The translation part is a bit off, it wasn't me. E. g. rotten instead of lazy.
Mister Hugz Posted August 3, 2014 Posted August 3, 2014 This is stimulating eargasms for me at the moment. https://soundcloud.com/mrlittlejeans/suburbs
BrianBrian Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 This song helps me connect to the lonliness of my childhood. I imagine pulling my child self out from beneath the wreckage of shattered adults and lift the fuck out of some weights with teary eyes while this song cries to the loss.
Psychophant Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 A cool song for freedom lovers. Foo Fighters with pretender:

JohnH. Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 I have no idea what he's saying, but I love this song. And this from my absolute favorite band. Opeth!
