What are the deepest songs you've heard and why?
Bruce Springstein - The River
This song is fucking beautiful; my personal favourite by Big Bruce and that's saying a lot. It's such a deep tale of how a young man fucked up his life by getting a young girl pregnant and then marrying her. The economy in the town runs dry and he has to work really hard to support his young family and had to say goodbye to all his dreams in life. The River drying up reflects this. "Now I just act like I dont remember, mary acts like she dont care But I remember us riding in my brothers car Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir At night on them banks Id lie awake And pull her close just to feel each breath shed take Now those memories come back to haunt me, they haunt me like a curse Is a dream a lie if it dont come true, or is it something worse?" ^Dope as fuck, especially the last two lines. Johnny Cash - Hurt Despite what people might think Johnny Cash didn't write this song, but that doesn't change anything. The thing that makes this song so good is the way he sings it, the way his voice is riddled with such immeasurable sadness and pysichal affliction. Don't forget he was very very old when he sang this, and it was only a short time after his wife died. The way he plays the guitar and synchronizes it with the infinite sorrow in his voice makes this one of the greatest songs I've heard. Lyrically it's on another level, and was so appropriate to what he went through with his woman passing away. "I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting I try to kill it all away, but I remember everything What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know, goes away in the end And you could have it all, my empire of dirt I will let you down, I will make you hurt" 2pac - Wonder Why They Call You Bitch? For me this is an overlooked classic by 2pac. Most people go on about Dear Mama and Until the End of Time but for me this is as good if not better, just because of how real it is. Brenda's Got a Baby is similar but it's a little too short in my opinion. This track is a classic and is very sad, just because of how real it is. It's tragic how many young women living in the slums see fucking rich men as the only way out of poverty. And it's equally tragic how many of them catch AIDS, lose everyone they ever loved, and die. This track deals this issue and although the title may raise a few eyebrows it's actually deep as fuck. "I pass by can't hold back tears inside Cause Lord knows, for years I tried And all the other people on my block hate your guts Then you wonda why they stare and call you slut. It's like your mind don't understand You don't have to kill your dreams plotting schemes on a man Keep your head up, legs closed, eyes open either a nigga wear a rubber or he die smokin' I'm hearin' rumors so you need to switch and niggas wouldn't call you bitch, I betcha." Big Pun - Punish Me For me this is the greatest love loss track ever written. It's not just lyrically amazing, it's word perfect, and there are hardly any tracks/songs that can be said about. Throughout the track he paints a subliminal picture of how he loved this woman and how she played him and used him for his money. Though that isn't the focal point of the track it's the bit that stands out the most. Not only does the bitch cheat on him she gives birth to his son and takes off with him, then has the audacity to beg his forgiveness. I'm sure many men can relate to this and know how painful these situations are. "I was the luckiest man on earth, my wisdom was worth Any purse but had a curse that hurt worse than givin birth My first verse explains some of the game she was playin Im blamin myself cause in my wealth was her pain would haven Behavin like a money hungry hooker, funny how the money took her From a average honey to a stunning looker I look back and reminsce how we used to kiss And smash hips in the gs I bought her last christ She got too big for her britches but the britch is over Not the one in queens I mean the one she dreamin wasnt sober Told her how I felt, gassed me when she cried for help Supplied the guilt trip and I was whipped without a fuckin belt I felt stupid cupid struck me with a poison arrow Shoulda drowned ya when I found ya crushin in my boys camaro I didnt bother but you probably find your lover dead You robbed me of my honor, you aint shit like my mother said" Tracy Chapman - Fast Car This is a sad song sang from the perspective of a woman who goes through a lot of shit and is in love with this guy who is obviously an asshole. First of all her dad becomes really ill so she has to skip school to look after him and because of it fucks up her education. Then when she gets older she meets this guy who is a lazy bastard and won't get a job so she has to work doubly hard and is stuck in the slumswith a dead dream that is going nowhere. Again this song is on the list because of how real it is. I'm not a fan of her singing but this song is extremely clever and is also very sad. "You see my old man's got a problem He live with the bottle that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working I say his body's too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebody's got to take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away? We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way" |
The Obie Story by Obie Trice.. i'd quote lines but i'd hafta quote almost the whole damn song.. that shit seriously sounds like my life.. only difference is im 19 so the rest of that shit can't happen yet..
|
Kanye West - Hey Mama.
^^ that was almost better than Tupac's Dear mama. |
Quote:
Word Obie can come up with some nice tracks. |
I cant say a deepest.......
'Immortal technique - you never know' would rate pretty highly.. And 'The philosophy of poverty' by him....... Tupac has way too many songs to mention....and their all 100% on point... Eminems got a few..........shit like 'If I had', 'When I'm gone', 'Rock bottom', 'Sing for the moment'.......etc Biggie - Suicidal thoughts is the best I've heard from him... Nas - We Will Survive is a fucking tight song......hes got a few others aswell.. Thats all I can think of for now........... Rap songs are way better for deep shit than rock... But rock sets the mood better....... |
Most deep rock songs are found in more classical music. Ie. Pink Floyd, Various Blues Artists... But there is one newer song that I find pretty deep...
Thursday - War All The Time Standing on the edge of the palisades cliffs In the shadow of the skyline very far away A lightning rod that couldn’t pull the storm from me I was 5 years old my best friends older brother died He fell from these cliffs The river washed him away the current pulled him downstream In our eyes, floating in the headlights, so we parked these cars Parent’s garage Listen to the lullaby Of Carbon Monoxide War all of the time In the shadow of the New York skyline We grew up too fast falling apart Like the ashes of American flags The sun doesn’t rise We replaced it with an h-bomb explosion A painted jail cell of blood in the sky like Three Mile Island Nightmares on TV they used to sing us to sleep They burn on and on like an oil field Or a memory of what it felt like To burn on and on and not just fade away All those nights in the basement the kids are still screaming On and on and on and on Word. |
"Let me touch you and see if you are real" ... Kirk Franklin and the fmaily off the "Wutchu Lookin' 4" album... listen to that song when you are going thru a rough time... gets me thru mine almost every time

I find Rock sets my mood much better and hits me much harder than rap songs do, unless the rap songs are godly (such as the ones I listed). If I Had is dope as hell and is my personal fave by Eminem, but I didn't include it in my list as I wanetd to keep it down to 5 and writing a synopsis for each track is a bitch. Sing for the Moment and Rock Bottom are also otherworldly dope. |
Big Pun ft Donnell Jones - It's so Hard.

Let it Be - Aretha Franklin
Rose is still a Rose - Aretha Franklin Stronger than Me - Amy Whinehouse Take the Box - Amy Whinehouse One Love - Nas Brenda's got a baby - 2Pac Redemption Song - Bob Marley Buffalo Soldier - Bob Marley No Woman No Cry - Bob Marley How Long Will they Mourn Me - 'Pacs verse So Many Tears - Pac Unconditional Love - " |
Ah man, Johnny Cash - Hurt, goddamn, that song is emotional as fuck. WWE used it as the soundtrack for Eddie Guerrero's vids when he died, which made it even more emotional.

word i remember that that shit had me choking back a little bit not even fronting |
Yeah same, he died so suddenly and at his peak, was real sad.
|
Quote:
Yes it was equally bad when Owen Hart died at his peak, Sports entertainment in general were greatly saddened by both losses. |
wasn't Eddie Gurrero on steriods?
I think when Owen Heart died it was more of a tragedy. |
That Obie Story was tight...but I'll hafto say:
You Must Love Me: Jay-Z Since my date of birth, brought you nothing but hurt Play those video games, stole change from your purse Sat at the cold court bench, 'til I was arraigned in ya skirt Saw da pain n ya face, still u maintained a smirk All you did was motivate me, don't let 'em hold you back What I do? I turned around and I sold you crack I was a bastard for that, still I'm drowning in shame Just remember 1 thing now, you're not the blame U was newly seperated, tryna exscape ya world And thru my thirst...I didn't help you, I just made things worse....... I hate me, and everybody that created crack Has me thinking tha newest kicks, and tha latest gats Still haven't apologized, so please, play this back While I try to come to terms in such a, heinous act U kno in more than 1 way cocaine numbs tha brain All I did was think about how da fun once came Then I ran across this memory and it stung da brain How can you ever destroy tha beauty from which one came That's a savage, you're the reason why me and these beats make a marraige Why I rhyme above average, and I aint shit Glad you got yourself together, no thanks to me Strong and beautiful, tha way things should be You Must Love Me Say that you love me All I know say that you must love me. Ohh yeah We used to fight every night and I never would suffer Just smile, my big brothers tryna make me tougher As we grew, tha fussing n fightin contin-ued As I plumbered through ya stuff and snuck ya clothes to clothes Got intense, real intense as we got older Never believed, it would lead to me popping on in ya shoulder With my rings, knew u had it cause u took too long As Mickey, Annie and tha girl that bought it looked on Huffin and puffin, gun in my hand, told you step outside Hopin yo said no, but you hurt my pride Made our way down tha steps, maybe you thought it was just a threat Or maybe ur life was just that crazy, that you was begging for death Tried to justify this in my young mind, but the adrenaline And my ego both combined, drove me bizerk Saw tha devil in ya eyes, high off more than weed Confused, I just closed my young eyes and squeeze ...what a sound, opened my eyes just in time to see you stumblin to da ground Damn, what tha fuck I done now Runnin around in a circle, thinkin im assed out Hot gun, burning my waist, ran str8 to Jaz house Like a stranger, damn, I just, shot my nigga And ran off into tha night as if it was, not my nigga Left da scene, how could I go out tha way Still you asked to see me in tha hospital da next day You Must Love Me Deepest shit....real talk...3rd verse gets even more intense... Crazy!! You Must Love Me:Jay-Z In My Lifetime: VOl.1 Edit: oh, and this was a deep song, because when jay spit it, you could tell it was a changing part in his life. He opens up, and admits his wrongs and shooting his own flesh and blood, but they still forgave him, when he didnt hafto...by them forgiving him for his wrongs, it made jay who he is today. And this song means a lot to me also, because I can feel dudes pain. I can relate..I didn't shoot my own brother, or sold my own momma drugs, or let tha love of my life get caught wit drugs (3rd verse)...but when you think about it, I did some things in my life that I aint proud of, and that tha ones closest to me forgave me for, and that made me who I am today... So, props to Jay for tha song....If you can forgive me for all this shit we been thru...even when I dont deserve it...you must love me! :thumbup: |
