List your favorite slow songs/ballads.
Hey guys, it's my first thread here so I hope I'm not misplacing it. Here's the thing, I've got a weakness/pure addiction for soft songs but what I'm looking for is those hidden gems that can't be found in mainstream radio. I know this is a subjective topic and idea but what I'm looking for is anything that is pretty. I have a preference for indie/folk or alternative ballads, even ballads from metal bands so it will show in the list that I wrote below.
Here a list of those songs that seem to bring the best feelings out of me. I hope you guys will find some beautiful songs in it and what I'd like to see is your list of "gems". By gems I mean which songs can't you live without, nostalgically wise or just songs that got to your soul. Doesn't matter if they fit my taste because they might please someone else. Please share those hidden gems that "most of the time" are not played on the radio and please note that some of the songs contained in my list are really well known; a lot of those songs are labelled as alternative, emo, simple but I see no point in judging an artist as long as the song brings the emotions: The Paper Kites -Woodland - Bloom (Bonus Track) Opeth - Watershed - Burden Opeth - Ghost Reveries - Isolation Years Opeth - Blackwater Park - Harvest Fightstar - Be Human - Follow Me Into The Darkness Fightstar - One Day Son, This Will All Be Yours - Our Last Common Ancestor Fightstar - A City On Fire - Vincent (Cover) Fightstar - Grand Unification - Mono Soap & Skin - Lovetune For Vacuum – Cynthia Soap & Skin - Lovetune For Vacuum - Turbine Womb Apparat - The Devil's Walk - Goodbye (With Soap & Skin) Malajube - Dragon De Glace (French Canadian Band) Malajuge - Étienne D'août Mastodon - The Hunter - The Sparrow Charlie Simpson - Thorns Charlie Simpson - All at Once Charlie Simpson - If I Lost It Charlie Simson – Riverbanks Thrice - Vheissu - Red Sky System Of A Down - Steal This Album – Roulette Slipknot - All Hope Is Gone - Snuff Slipknot - Vol. 3 - Subliminal Verses - Vermillion Pt. 2 Seether - Tongue - Karma & Effect - Tongue Serj Tankian - Elect The Dead Symphony - Gate 21 Robb Flynn - Die Young (Black Sabbath Accoustic Cover) Ray Charles - You Are My Sunshine - You Don't Know Me Radiohead - There There (Live in Paris Video Version) Queen - A Night At The Opera - Love Of My Life Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet - My Ashes Muse - Showbiz - Unintended Muse - Hullabaloo - Hyper Chondriac Music One Last Wish - Casper Soundtrack - James Horner Sarah's Theme - (not sure how I found the whole version, Hocus Pocus) - James Horner Him - Razorblade Romance - One Last Time Him - Love Metal - The Funeral Of Hearts Evanescence - Fallen - My Immortal (No Band Version) Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi - Rome - Black (Feat. Norah Jones) Chicago - The Best Of Chicago - Wishing You Were Here Burt Bacharach & Elvis Costello - I'll Never Fall In Love Again Blonde Redhead - Misery Is A Butterfly Sarah McLachlan - Adia Hope to get some feedback, this list can never get big enough in my opinion. Thank you all.

Ayaka Hirahara - Reset
Bobby Yarsulik - The Waves Crush 40 - Watch Me Fly Sins of a Divine Mother - Broken System of a Down - Roulette Not sure if all of these can be counted as slow songs. Also, Bobby Yarsulik isn't official artist (as far as I know), but he makes really amazing music. |

^ Hey. Radiohead songs and Wonderwall are both good.
For argument's sake of what may or may not fit the category, a general dictionary definition states a ballad is "a slow sentimental or romantic song." That being said, here are a few I like. Not all of them are love songs, but I like them because these are songs with beautiful music that contain a lot of emotion... Stateless - Bloodstream The Moody Blues - Watching and Waiting Lou Reed - Perfect Day Radiohead - Lucky Smashing Pumpkins - By Starlight The Cure - Pictures of You The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony Could probably think of better ones, but scrolling through my iPod these few stood out to me. So yeah. |
