"That melody"

[TheFunPolice]

Occasionally you'll be feeling rather adventurous while listening to music and you might decide to hunt for some more music to add to your Library . And once in a while you stumble across a song which you just instantly fall in love with, just because of "That melody" you hear, you know the sound I'm talking about. Just the one that makes you want to explode with it's epic from the moment you hear it, so I'm asking you guys;

Share some songs which you love purely for the melody it has


My example would be the main riff played in this song (riff starts at 0:50)



I don't think I really like the rest of the song..I wouldn't know, I'm too busy listening to the guitar

 

[Daystar Clarion]

It's like suddenly taking flight.


This is my ultimate relaxation track. It's like a cool breeze on a hot day.

Just came across this today, and instantly fell in love with it:

 

[Agent Larkin]

I love this song so damn much. And this cover is much better then the original, it's on my Fallout playlist for a reason.

Love the song in general although it took me a while to figure out the lyrics, the melody and video (not to mention been featured in an Assassins Creed ad)just makes me love that song

 

[sextus the crazy]

I've got a few.

Spoiler: Opeth - Blackwater Park

Spoiler: Dream Theater - Constant Motion

Spoiler: SSH - Decisive Battle

Spoiler: Pearl Jam - Even Flow

And that's enough for now.

I won't say I love it solely for the melody, but when I first heard Heroes by David Bowie I was already hooked within the first ten seconds of play - even before Bowie opens his mouth. Here, decide for yourselves:

It's like suddenly taking flight.


This is my ultimate relaxation track. It's like a cool breeze on a hot day.

Very nice indeed!

God, I just love this song. Or, fuck, pretty much anything by The Glitch Mob.

God, I just love this song. Or, fuck, pretty much anything by The Glitch Mob.

I always loved Starved the Ego feed the Soul a lot more, the voice kind of puts me off Between Two Points.

I love Prodigal Son by Bad religion, it just stands out as such a unique piece compared to their other songs:


...For he's a morning star with a champagne heart and... curtain call...

 

[Chromatic Aberration]

There are some. And of those I'll mention I loved them from the moment I first heard them down to this day - no strings attached.

Spoiler: In Extremo - Macht und Dummheit. I friggin love the prominent medieval instruments in the beginning and the refrain. Here, have a live-version. Its great.

Spoiler: Mr. Bungle - Ars Moriendi A song that is fucking insane yet has so memorable and freaking cool tunes in it. Take for instance these short timed interludes between those energetic choral passages after 2:22. Its awesome.

Spoiler: The Protomen - The Hounds Talk about a cool villain song here: the Protomen conceptualize their albums as rock-operas based on the Megaman franchise of games. And this is the song for Dr. Wily. Its fucking energetic and pretty much lives through one melody - these underlying drums coupled with the trumpet enhanced spikes recurring throughout the whole song. Its brilliant.

Spoiler: The Secret Chiefs 3 - Book T: Exodus A cover of the theme of the movie Exodus written by Ernest Gold. This melody sticks with you - especially in this surf-oriented version reminiscent of any good road-movie. Its just fucking cool.

Now I'll have to stop myself lest I post my whole collection here....

 

[Hazy992]

Pretty much anything The Birthday Massacre has ever done. I seriously fell in love with this band when I first heard them

 

[Queen Michael]

The most heartachingly perfect melody ever.

 

[RatRace123]

This one right at the 3:44 mark.
It may have something to do with how much I love the movie as a whole, but the central musical piece is just... AWESOME!
