Reading Between the Lines
 

Hey all just wanting some bands that play music that sounds really good but reaches you on a deeper level also. Bands that make you "think"

Anyone know any???

:band: :usehead:

no

Rage against the machine is good for political... some red hot chilis is good if u listen hard enough...

bands that mmake me think....hmmmm...id have to go with Lamb of God and Killswitch

Pig Destroyer.

the lyrics...

Yeah,
The Pixies, Sonic Youth, SOAD, RATM, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Velvet Underground, Nirvana, Husker Du, and Sunny Day Real Estate.

radiohead, pink floyd, soundgarden, the mars volta, neil young, joy division, smashing pumpkins, led zeppelin, dresden dolls etc.

Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins, The Mars Volta, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Megadeth, Mod Flanders Conspiracy, Sublime (don't ask me why, i can't answer it...they just make me think, simple as that) The Cure, aaand...Porcupine Tree

Porcupine tree are awesome ay, i only just heard them the other day. NIN and mars volta, im definatly agreeing there

metallica

songs like -
Hero of the day
one
fade to black
the unforgiven
.......etc

Also Red Hots, System and Rage against the machine will do the trick.

I would agree with ya on metallica except i just cant stand the vocalist. Rage are kool same with the red hot c's

???
I think James Hetfield is a bloody awesome singer! hes heaps talented and singing while simaltaniously playing guitar unbelivable well.
whats so bad about him?

Hes boring. His voice barely varies. His softer singing is dreary. All the songs sound the same. Personal preferance but i like the actual music just the vocals kill it, very very monotonous stuff.

fair

Actually, while he sings and simultaneously plays guitar, it's nothing special. He plays short, easy chords...Alot of country singers can do that;) So, lets take away the "unbelievably well" out of that statement and just put a period after "guitar"...like so:

I think James Hetfield is a bloody awesome singer! hes heaps talented and singing while simaltaniously playing guitar.

Oh, so let's also add "vocally" after "talented" so we don't get everyone confused and think that you're still trying to say he's also heaps talented at playing guitar while singing.

I thought all music was supose to be emotional, since music seems to be written from emotion.

it is "supposed" to be

But not every band looks at music emotionally. many look at these two words... "record sales" and thens when things lose themselves.

Listening to most Evanescence songs get to me.

She has a cool voice lol

Amy Lee has the best voice in the world of rock, to me that is. She is also very beautiful!

Sting's stuff, but you'd have to listen to the arrangements. A lot of classical peices.

hmmm... ZAO? Hells yeah!

POD has deep lyrics

Tool and A Perfect Circle have incredible lyrics Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs Stinkfist
Something has to change.
Un-deniable dilemma.
Boredom? not a burden
Anyone should bear.
Constant over stimulation numbs me
But I wouldn? want you
Any other way.
Just, not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said, I don? want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know I? alive.
Finger deep within the borderline.
Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
Relax, turn around and take my hand.
I can help you change
Tired moments into pleasure.
Say the word and we?l be
Well upon our way.
Blend and balance
Pain and comfort
Deep within you
Till you will not want me any other way.
But, it? not enough.
I need more.
Nothing seems to satisfy.
I said, I don? want it.
I just need it.
To breathe, to feel, to know I? alive.
Knuckle deep inside the borderline.
This may hurt a little but it? something you?l get used to.
Relax. slip away.
Something kinda sad about
The way that things have come to be.
Desensitized to everything.
What became of subtlety?
How can it mean anything to me
If I really don? feel anything at all?
I?l keep digging till,
I feel something.
Elbow deep inside the borderline.
Show me that you love me and that we belong together.
Shoulder deep within the borderline.
Relax. turn around and take my hand.

Great Song!

Not enough! I need More! Nothing seems to Satisfy! I don’t want it! I just need it breath to feel to know I’m alive! Don't we all feel that way?

only when we're on drugs, so yes, we do :)

not ecstasy:)

i was waiting for someone to say tool....Aenima is a powerful song too. All their songs are to be honest. Gotta love a bit of stinkfist lol but not literally
:yikes:

That is true. For me, if its a good song it doesn't need lyrics, but they can be an added bonus.

I appreciate music. The effort some bands put into being original is astounding. But to me great lyrics also make the music that little bit better. Kind of like a compliment ratehr than a bonus

I can appreciate good lyrics and deep meaning. But sometimes it feels like the writer was trying so hard to be on the next level of "emotion" that they brought out a dictionary to help with the process. Trying to be to poetic.

I don't read between the lines to often. Everything gets over analyzed as it is.

I ment in life like, I don't want I just need it, something meaningful in my life. Thats what i need to feel alive.

hey IMATOOL... ur quote thats in purple....the first line is "I can" instead of "I can't".
Just thought id let you know :)

i find its not so much bands that make me think.. mayeb more so albums..

Alkaline Trio - Goddamnit
Alkaline Trio - Maybe I'll Catch Fire
Brand New - Deja Entendu
The Appleseed Cast - Low Level Owl I -II
Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary
Pink Floyd - The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon
Fleetwood Mac - Romurs

on all of those albums i think the lyrics are great.. all these albums i loved, and or still love every single song on it..
