Title: Favorite verse in a song.
Post by: JOACH1M on February 11, 2015, 12:06:49 AM
Odd question, but I thought it could make a fun thread.

What's your favorite verse or line from a song?

Mine: "Last name ever, first name greatest, like a sprained ankle boy I ain't nothin to play with" - Drake

Or

"I was born free" -Kid Rock

]v[EGADET]-[ - Set the World Afire.

"Dig deep through piles of rubble and ruins,
towering overhead both far and wide.
There's unknown tools for World War Three,
Einstein says we'll use rocks on the other side.
No survivors!
Set the world afire!"

This whole song is a lyrical masterpiece, really.

There was a girl and I don't know her name either
She gave me love and I said I'd never leave her
If I did I'd come back someday and find her
Maybe I will I should write down a reminder

      I can barely define the shape of this moment in time
      And far from flying high in clear blue skies
      I'm spiraling down to the hole in the ground where I hide.

BOB DYLAN  Desolation Row


They're selling postcards of the hanging
 They're painting the passports brown
 The beauty parlor is filled with sailors
 The circus is in town
 Here comes the blind commissioner
 They've got him in a trance
 One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
 The other is in his pants
 And the riot squad they're restless
 They need somewhere to go
 As Lady and I look out tonight
 From Desolation Row.

As the end is drawing near
Standing proud, I won't give in to fear
As I die a legend will be born
I will stand, I will fight
You'll never take me alive
I'll stand my ground
I won't go down

You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me,
Under blood red skies

or

Gracefully, with steady hand,
He takes the dagger that lays before him.
Collects his thoughts for the last time,
And plunges the dirge from left to right.
No sign of pain on his face,
With the final cut withdraws the blade.
Loyal companion by his side,
Lifts the sword to help him die.
Lightning flash, one swift blow,
Honor is done, warriors head rolls.

Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
a walk-on part in the war

From Afar by Ensiferum

A raven came to me
Spoke to me in my dream
Of long lost prophecy
A forgotten legacy

Echoes of yesterday
Won't let these dreams fade away
All the beauty I adore
At the edge of the world

Across the universe
Time is to be reversed
No shelter can be found
To this fate, we are bound

Behold the final hour
Our last times will be dour
All life falls into gorge
Of the end of the world

--------------------

Torn Between Scylla and Charybdis by Trivium

Walls of carnage surround your weakness
Crash down like oceans, wait for the light
In total darkness, drowning in bleakness
Awaiting death's grip, cry out for life

Divided by destiny
Torn between death and doom
Destruction by decision
Fate shows me my open tomb

And of course cant forget this for my wife
Dean Martins version

I've grown accustomed to her face.
 She almost makes the day begin.
 I've grown accustomed to the tune that
 She whistles night and noon.
 Her smiles, her frowns,
 Her ups, her downs
 Are second nature to me now;
 Like breathing out and breathing in.
 I was serenely independent and content before we met;
 Surely I could always be that way again-
 And yet
 I've grown accustomed to her look;
 Accustomed to her voice;
 Accustomed to her face.

I heard you ate s*** at the skate ramp
Two left feet watering a face plant
Ah dude, you know that "skate or die" is just a term
The latter half is fully independent of the first
Still I get it you were curbside, sentenced to observe
From the low-risk prison of a sedentary perch
All jittery, vault triggering your inner tomboy
Timidly slipping into the military convoy, dang
Loose trucks aim for the fun box
Juiced up, cruising over urethane gum drops
You hit the kicker warp speed yelling "Punk rock!"
Turns out plywood's not a fan of tough talk, oof
Cued up a slow-mo heave-ho
Everybody staring at the airborne freak show
Scraped knees and a very bruised ego
You're a good kid just a goofy Knievel
The good news is it really doesn't matter
The other good news is an apple Jolly Rancher
And it won't heal wounds but it will heal moods
And it's sweet and it's sour and it's green and it rules
Can't do much so the cut won't sting
But you can make a couple taste buds go z-z-z-zing

It is the last time you will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they will see what will be, blinded eyes to see

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Titus Andronicus' 2010 release 'the Monitor' was really really good for a lot of reasons, but maybe the best part of the album (and there are a lot of really good parts) is the gigantic, epic closer 'the Battle of Hampton Roads'.
There's a lot of awesome stuff about this song, which keeping with the theme of the album consistently alludes to the American civil war while exploring disillusionment with society, loneliness, self hatred, etc. through the lens of the frontman's depression (bipolar disorder iirc?) issues, paired with with music may be characterized as Bruce Springsteen in a punk band with an obsession for traditional American melodies. (although they draw heavily from him musically, this is the only song that references him in the lyrics - New Jersey related lyrics are common, though)
'The Battle of Hampton Roads' clocks in at an ever-evolving 14 minutes, filled not only with great instrumentals but a short-story of a lyric sheet: which, amazingly, deliver a punch to the gut just about every other line. The song is just unbelievably consistent.
Adding to the fantastic consistency of the song adding even more icing to each great line, Titus plays the song - in its entirety - pretty consistently live. Honestly I saw Titus this past summer and it was one of the best shows I've ever to (they played Battle of Hampton roads that show, too). Lots of broken glasses.
There are a ton of good verses in this song, and I think each of my friends has a different one.
My favorite, not at all by a wide margin is:

Solidarity's going to give a lot less than it'll take
Is there a girl at this college who hasn't been raped?
Is there a boy in this town that's not exploding with hate?
Is there a human alive that can look themselves in the face
Without winking?
Or say what they mean without drinking?
Or believe in something without thinking what if somebody doesn't approve?
Is there a soul on this Earth that isn't too frightened to move?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZYignZ2HfE

The whole song is
Pretty fantastic though
The whole album is, really

I've never heard of Jambi Cafe before but as a former skater (10+ years of mostly street and some vert), I sincerely enjoi'd this. You have my deepest respect for this. I also supported local musicians (I was one of them and I supported my other local folks) and this music reminds me so much of hanging out in old bistros/coffee shops listening to acoustic jam sessions of songs that friends wrote.

That was an amazing part of my life. I don't know how you have come to know that band but you have my number. I see you in the air, I got your back.

Thanks dude, I used to skate a long time ago as well and as soon as i heard this song... Well...it Took me back to my awkward teenage years.  I have been a fan of Aesop Rock since the late nineties. In my opinion he is the most lyrically talented rapper/writer, ever. He has only gotten better with every album and his collaboration with Kimya Dawson is pure art. I saw the Uncluded live in 2013 at the Warhol museum in Pittsburgh where they played nearly the entire album including Jambi Cafe.

In fact...  Im going to see Aesop Rock and Rob Sonic tonight in Pittsburgh at the Altar bar.

Every woman and child drags you down for the dive
It's not safe being free, can't give back what you feel
You said you'll always be in heaven with me


There'll always be a roof and a dream above our head
As long as I'm breathing, then forever I'll be


And


I'm on the front line
don't worry I'll be fine
the story is just beginning
I say goodbye to my weakness
so long to the regrets
and now I know that I'm alive

Don't ever F*** with the dust devil. He's got the power of an upright in his Golly-geened hand!

Dust Devil by The Butthole Surfers.

Funny lyric if you're old enough to remember the tv commercial.

You gotta keep one eye looking over your shoulder.
You know it's going to get harder, and harder, and harder as you
get older.
And in the end you'll pack up and fly down south,
Hide your head in the sand,
Just another sad old man,
All alone and dying of cancer.

And when you loose control, you'll reap the harvest you have sown.
And as the fear grows, the bad blood slows and turns to stone.
And it's too late to lose the weight you used to need to throw
around.
So have a good drown, as you go down, all alone,
Dragged down by the stone.

Two verses from the same song.

"The albatross begins with its vengeance.
A terrible curse a thirst has begun.
His shipmates blame bad luck on the mariner,
About his neck, the dead bird is hung.

And the curse goes on and on at sea,
And the curse goes on and on for them and me.

Day after day, day after day, we stuck nor breath nor motion,
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean.
Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink.
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink."



"The mariners' bound to tell of his story,
to tell his tale wherever he goes.
To teach God's word by his own example,
That we must love all things that God made.

And the wedding guests' a sad and wiser man,
And the tale goes on and on and on.?

  Best philosophical group of all time .......Pink Floyd  "Time"

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
 You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
 Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
 Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

 Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
 You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
 And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
 No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

 So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
 Racing around to come up behind you again.
 The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
 Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

 Every year is getting shorter; never seem to find the time.
 Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
 Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
 The time is gone, the song is over,
 Thought I'd something more to say.

Since nobody has mentioned it, the most appropriate  song during flight could be Aces High by Iron Maiden:

There goes the siren that warns off the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack.

Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheel blocks
there's no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Gotta get airborne before it's too late

Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high



Or some heavy instrumental songs from some of my favourite bands:
Pallas Anders Visa by In Flames
Man Made God by In Flames
Big Bear and the Hour of Chaos by Unearth
The End of Everything by Trivium
The Hellion by Judas Priest
Orion by Metallica
Intro (#1 on the album The Poison) by Bullet for my Valentine

The speed, power, and aggression (of the music) just complements so well with dogfighting; it puts you in that mindset way before you encounter the bandit and I feel that is always an advantage.

I love Orion by Metallica.  Probably the most underrated instrumental I've heard.  Have you seen "Through The Never"?  There's a truly awesome version of Orion at the very end.   :rock

Good for nothin'. Bad in bed. Nobody likes you and you're better off dead. Goodbye.
We've all come to say goodbye. Goodbye.
Born defeated. Died in vain.
Super destructive you were hooked on pain.
And tho' your music lingers on all of us are glad you're gone.
If I could live my life half as worthlessly as you,
I'm convinced that I'd wind up burning too.


The Hell of It.
P. Williams.

Yeah.  I'm not sure you could call it a documentary though.  Kind of a live concert with a pretty weird story set to the live music.
