This is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time (right up there with Gould's interpretations of the Goldberg variations).

Bah, all this, 'emotionally intense' shite. Load of bollocks. By the time a song gets recorded it's been practised, rehearsed, recorded about 10 times before etc. A better title would be the 'most affected performance'. Of course I'm guilty meself. It's all acting as is most geetar playing. No one dies. (no doubt someone will name a song where the singer did die halfway through, this is kvr).

There is a light that never goes out - The Smiths. Cynical yet heartfelt at the same time, and a karaoke favourite for me to destroy.

Is There Anybody Out There? by Pink Floyd

This song is just an absolute masterpiece of simplicity and sadness.
The change is so uplifting ...... for years i have tried to put words to the emotions it makes me feel ..... and i can't.

Libera Me by Elliott Goldenthal

This is the theme song to Interview With The Vampire(opening credits).
This song achieves the impossible.It sounds both INTENSELY evil and haunting and at the same time sounds like something you would hear in a church cathedral in centuries past.The castrati choir is the purest vocal i have ever heard.
Holy and Demonic
Good and Evil ..... i just can't describe it with words alone.

Lamb - Gorecki . I defy anyone who says this isn't one of the most emotional and inspiring pieces of music ever made .

Cheers

+ 1 , except Pink Floyd has always been very dark for me , because what they are saying is always steeped in irony and despair because they are making you realise that the world is so messed up .

I was wondering when someone would say that. Maybe there was a time when it was possible to get a really emotional take, but producers these days would suck all the soul out of it to get a 'perfect' take.

You've got souless robots like Celine Dion who rehearses all the 'emotional' parts to death and what you're left with is all the right moves but you might as well have got a speak and spell to sing it, as that has about as much emotional impact.

Having said that, there are some really amazing pieces of music from way back in the day where they could only have been recorded that way at that time and any other take wouldn't be as good. 'Lover Man' by Charlie Parker is one - he's drunk and just not playing very well and it's not even a piece that is arranged very well, but you can almost hear a cry for help coming from that sax playing. Might be apocryphal, but they supposedly had someone holding him upright next to the mic as he could barely stand.

Right then, I guess it's time to start defying me.

I love Henryk Górecki's Symphony No. 3 (I've got it listed in this thread), but sticking it in a poppy love song gets rid of all of the emotions the original piece gave me and just makes me want to change the station.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Glad somebody out there gets something out of it, but just not me.

hmmmmm...theres a few i can think of, but the one that affects me the most is peter gabriel's "rythim of the heat'. right before the bombastic drums kick in, he cries "the rythim has my soooooul", in such a way that one cannot help but believe him...and get some goose bumps.

and if thats not the type of emotion were talking about, and we're gunning for someting more, um, trite... then i'll go with 'hocus pocus' by focus.

The most emotionally intense song you've ever heard?
