Powerful Songs

[cojo965]

That must be my favorite song by Sabaton. So beautiful (no homo).

What is your favorite powerful song?

I thought Pipes of Peace by Paul McCartney was quite nice.

 

[Pink Gregory]

Yes, you're right, that is an hour's running time.

on a more conventional note

Of all the amazing tracks under Manowar's belt, the ones I keep returning to the most are these.

Going by a few other post, this thread is about powerful lyrics. I wasn't sure if you meant like a powerful drive or lyrics.

Mine is Antarctica by Hands Like Houses. To get pretentious and "deep" here. The song always reminds that before I can succeed, I need to fail and just keep trying. I really hate to sound like one of those tweens who say music saved them, but this song has helped me through some tough times. And it's filled with Peter Pan references, so it just wins everything.

There are so many choices as there are many powerful songs. Music says different things to different people. With 3k watts to play with any song can be powerful.

Define "powerful". Cos I can go for a heavy beat or I can go for... well, this.


Basically everything in that video is fantastic. Rest in peace.

Article [http://elhuervo.bandcamp.com/track/article] by El Huervo. The entire album is powerful but this song stands out in this respect. It's a very cute song that plays dialogue from Planes, Trains & Automobiles with a powerful message.

Spoiler: And here are a few other songs I can't be bothered to give an explanation for.

If you liked those songs you should listen to the rest of their respective works/albums, they're all top-notch.

"both human" by Thulsa Doom is powerful in sound and theme. I first heard this song back when I was about fifteen years old and it's always stuck with me. The theme here is both powerful and really easy to grasp, and it's just a solid punk/crust song.

I'll go with the entirety of Pink Floyd's The Wall, but standout tracks are

Comfortably Numb
