Amber Martingale | 1507 comments Leonard Nimoy: The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhYEW...

Queen: Yeah, sort of but these songs were specifically written that way.

That would be awesome to learn the guitar...I play the flute not that ur probs interested lols....and i really want to learn the violin.

Yep the flute...im pretty okay at it....yeah the violin is such an amazing instrument! Yeah the bagpipes are good when played well...

Amber Martingale | 1507 comments That's the problem, Queen re bagpipes! A LOT of pipers either can't play well OR they deliberately make us think they can't play well.

Derek The violin is a very difficult instrument, I played for two years and didn't make near the progress I had with playing the piano.
It definitely sounds amazing, I agree.

"Refuse/Resist" by Sepultura. It describes stories of rebellion and revolt against an oppressive government as well as the militarized police they employ.

message 60: by Derek (new)

Derek What's the story it tells?


message 61: by カパリス (new)

カパリス | 434 comments Well, it's kind of in the name. They're asking for their souls to be saved, they feel like nothing goes right for them and that they're alone. *shrugs* that's how I took it. Others may have a different perspective on it.

It's nice to hear from you again Derek.


message 62: by Derek (new)

Derek Ok, but who are they asking to save their souls?

A person, deity or demon, perhaps?


message 63: by カパリス (new)

カパリス | 434 comments No idea, just whoever answers the call I guess

On My Own - Ashes Remain
(an amazing song for me, shows that we never have to fight on our own - that God will always bring us out of the darkness dwelling in us and will pull us through if we just let him. Put the pride aside and admit you need help)

I have heard that as well...its just such a moving instrument though when played in music...i feel like it just reaches right inside me and moves me...that sounds really weird...but im really affected by music.

same here - it is sad...i feel like it's written about a couple who found each other 'too late'.

RIP Sir Christopher Lee!


message 74: by Derek (new)

Derek So, what's the story the song tells?


message 75: by Derek (new)

Derek "Wait and Bleed" by Slipknot.

The story is a very old, unnerving tale of a man that keeps having the same nightmare over and over (I'm not sure where the original story comes from).

He goes to his bathtub, lights some candles, gets comfy and slits his wrists. Once he realizes he is dreaming, he keeps trying and trying to wake up. Until one night, while turning the water red, he realizes its no dream. So he simply waits ....

The ghost of Charlemagne, played n the video by the late great actor Sir Christopher Lee, is recounting the massacre of the Saxon rebels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacr... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlem...

Hannah | 155 comments A whole bunch of Panic! at the Disco songs tell stories a few good examples are: Build God, Then We'll Talk, I Write Sins Not Tragedies, There's a Good Reason these Tables Are Numbered Honey You Just Haven't Thought of it Yet, and (one of my faves) Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time

Another could be How to Save a Life by The Fray
