The Music Thread :: Using Grape-Related Jokes to Crush Insaney's Soul Since 2008

(I'm sorry. I was thinking about the name of this thread when 'Activation Serum' popped in. *Adds a little more to Shot's ego*)

*ahem*

Most music and songs make you feel certain ways--like depressed and angry or cheerful and in a dancing mood--and they can make you imagine different things--different settings, ranging from medieval eras to futuristic times. You can picture epic wars of swords, steel, bullets and blood or beautiful meadows where two hearts meet and become one in their fairytale romance.

This thread is for the BAers of ZU to post their various music, which may help other BAers with their writing--or other work, like art, for example. Basically, this music thread should serve as a 'CJ refill' or 'CJ stirring' thread--the music should help motivate the people who want and need it.

And who knows, you might find yourself a new favourite band to listen to.

Like most other threads, this one has a few things that need to be put out. Tiny things, though. Nothing much to fuss over about.

1. General forum rules still apply. No spamming! No double posting! No 'Lolz wut kin of cwap musik r u listenin tu?' I will ruthlessly grape anyone if they do something like this.

2. You can post and tell someone that their link(s) in their post is bad. Or if they got the name of the band/song wrong or something. You can also suggest other situations to which a certain song might fit into as one mind can work or think completely differently from another.

3. Stick with the format as much as you can:

Title:
Situation:
Link:
Lyrics:

Title: *insert name of song and composer/band here. Genre too, it's optional* (put 'Instrumental' in brackets if it is an instrumental)
Situation: *that the song could be used in. eg: Fast-paced battle, depressed setting/character etc*
Link: *to youtube or somewhere you could hear/download the song*
Lyrics (if any): *Link to lyrics or copy and paste them here*

4. You can search for your song lyrics on sites like:

To make sure these sites were safe enough, I disabled my anti-virus and anti-spyware/adware engines and clicked around on them for a little. I would advise against doing something that stupid, though. >_>

However, if you think that a lyrics site may NOT be safe and trustworthy (you've probably found it in one of the deepest, darkest corners of the web), then please, don't link it. Post the lyrics here using the quote tags instead.

No one should be browsing any part of the internet without having an anti-virus and anti-spyware/adware.

5. Any genre of music is welcomed!

6. Feel free to yell at me (over PM, please) if you feel that anything should be changed/added.

7. Feel free to yell at Altamira if you don't like the location of this thread.

^I'm kidding. Pay no attention to 7, please. Yelling at her will only make me do something worse than graping you.


-Credit to WotS for coming up with the idea.
-Thanks to Alti for allowing me to make the thread
-The BA is just too frickin awesome.

You can't kill the metal

Grunge tried to kill the metal Ha,hahahahaha
They failed, as they were thrown to the ground
Aargh! yeah! [x2]

[Singing]

No-one can destroy the metal
The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow
We are the vanquished foes of the metal
We tried to win for why we do not know

New-wave tried to destroy the metal, but the metal had its way
Grunge then tried to dethrone the metal, but metal was in the way
Punk-rock tried to destroy the metal, but metal was much too strong
Techno tried to defile the metal, but techno was proven wrong
Yea!

Metal!
It comes from hell!

Link: YouTube - DragonForce - My Spirit Will Go On
Lyrics:
Life is a misery, don't know how it's come to be
Death, the epitome of all of our days
In the past we had no choice to hear or to be the voice
Close your eyes and visualise the demon to arise

You know that sanity is not as it was meant to be
And now that misery has taken a new stand
In the land of a thousand souls we will carry on through the rain
In the sun we will move along with the memories of the slain
When I see this humanity and the evil that they have come to be
We've come to the point of no return and you beg for just...

One more time to escape from all this madness
One more time to be set free from all this sadness
And one last time to be the one who understand
My soul and my spirit will go on, for all of eternity

Foreign the currency, your payment in blood to be
Death is the desitny for all of our ways
In the dark you hide away for who or what you can't say
When I see the power of the demon come alive

You know that sanity is not as it was meant to be
And now that misery has taken a new stand
On the wings of eagles flying staring on to the sun
Reaching for the gold horizon when the war shall be won
Can you see the debautury and the blade of death that has come for thee
In winds of torment forever more you will cry for just...

One more time to escape from all this madness
One more time to be set free from all this sadness
And one last time to be the one who understand
My soul and my spirit will go on, for all of eternity

In the land of a thousand souls we will carry on through the rain
In the sun we will move along with the memories of the slain
When I see this humanity and the evil that they have come to be
We've come to the point of no return and you beg for just...

One more time to escape from all this madness
One more time to be set free from all this sadness
And one last time to be the one who understand
My soul and my spirit will go on
My soul and my spirit will go on, for all of eternity

Title: The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald
Situation: Sombre, dedication, basically anything sad.
Link: Youtube - The Edmund Fitzgerald (Dedication)
Lyrics:

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they called 'Gitche Gumee'
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
With a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more
Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty.
That good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed
When the gales of November came early.

The ship was the pride of the American side
Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin
As the big freighters go, it was bigger than most
With a crew and good captain well seasoned
Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms
When they left fully loaded for Cleveland
And later that night when the ship's bell rang
Could it be the north wind they'd been feelin'?

The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound
And a wave broke over the railing
And every man knew, as the captain did too,
T'was the witch of November come stealin'.
The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
When the Gales of November came slashin'.
When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
In the face of a hurricane west wind.

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'.
Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya.
At Seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in, he said
Fellas, it's been good t'know ya
The captain wired in he had water comin' in
And the good ship and crew was in peril.
And later that night when his lights went outta sight
Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Does any one know where the love of God goes
When the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searches all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
If they'd put fifteen more miles behind her.
They might have split up or they might have capsized;
May have broke deep and took water.
And all that remains is the faces and the names
Of the wives and the sons and the daughters.

Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion.
Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams;
The islands and bays are for sportsmen.
And farther below Lake Ontario
Takes in what Lake Erie can send her,
And the iron boats go as the mariners all know
With the Gales of November remembered.

In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed,
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral.
The church bell chimed till it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call 'Gitche Gumee'.
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early!

Wow, I just realized how inactive I've been in here. Anyway,

Black Sabbath Iron Man With Lyrics.

Situation: Well, it hasn't really inspired anything, but it makes writing twice as fun.

Title: Fire On High - Elo

Situation: It has so many different parts to the song. It has horror elements, fear, confrontation, victorious/helpless fighting (depending on how you view the sound of the song). Or... simply a dramatic decision with awesome music. (I'm pulling this stuff out of a hat, so I apologize if they don't match the song)

Link: YouTube - Rurouni Kenshin - Fire on High

Lyrics: None. At the beginning it has words backwards that say,
"The music is reversible, but time is not. Turn back, Turn Back, TURN BAACK!"

Title: Faunts - M4 P2
Situation: Rising from the ashes; Defeating an enemy, but knowing that the battle still has not ended.
Link: YouTube - Mass Effect - Ending Song
Lyrics:
I have wondered about you
Where will you be when this through
If all goes as planned
Will you redeem my life again?

Fire the fields the weed is sown
Water down your empty soul
Wake the sea of silent hope
Water down your empty soul

Fight your foes you’re on your own
Holy war is on the phone
Asking to please stay on hold
The bleeding loss of blood runs cold

And I need you to recover
Because I can’t make it on my own

Title: "End of All Hope" - Nightwish
Situation: Epic/Apocalyptic situation/battle/war.
Link: YouTube - Nightwish-End of All Hope
Lyrics:

It is the end of all hope
To lose the child, the faith
To end all the innocence
To be someone like me
This is the birth of all hope
To have what I once had
This life unforgiven
It will end with a birth

No will to wake for this morn
To see another black rose born
Deathbed is slowly covered with snow

Angels, they fell first but I'm still here
Alone as they are drawing near
In heaven my masterpiece will finally be sung

Wounded is the deer that leaps highest
And my wound it cuts so deep
Turn off the light and let me pull the plug

Mandylion without a face
Deathwish without a prayer
End of hope
End of love
End of time
The rest is silence

Title:The Glass Prision-Dream Theater
Situation:Fighting a losing battle.
Link:The glass Prision (Live)
Lyrics:

Cunning, Baffling, Powerful
Been beaten to a pulp
Vigorous, Irresistable
Sick and tired and laid low
Dominating, Invisible
Black-out, loss of control
Overwhelming, Unquenchable
I'm powerless, have to let go

I can't escape it
It leaves me frail and worn
Can no longer take it
Senses tattered and torn

Hopeless surrender
Obsession's got me beat
Losing the will to live
Admitting complete defeat

Fatal Descent
Spinning around
I've gone too far
To turn back round

Desperate attempt
Stop the progression
At any length
Lift this obsession

Crawling to my glass prison
A place where no one knows
My secret lonely world begins

So much safer here
A place where I can go
To forget about my daily sins

Life here in my glass prison
A place I once called home
Fall in nocturnal bliss again

Chasing a long lost friend
I no longer can control
Just waiting for this hopelessness to end

II. Restoration

Run – fast from the wreckage of the past
A shattered glass prison wall behind me
Fight – past walking through the ashes
A distant oasis before me

Cry – desperate crawling on my knees
Begging God to please stop the insanity
Help me – I'm trying to believe
Stop wallowing in my own self pity

"We've been waiting for you my friend
The writing's been on the wall
All it takes is a little faith
You know you're the same as us all"

Help me – I can't break out this prison all alone
Save me – I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own
Heal me – I can't restore my sanity alone

Enter the door
Desperate
Fighting no more
Help me restore
To my sanity
At this temple of hope

I need to learn
Teach me how
Sorrow to burn
Help me return
To humanity
I'll be fearless and thorough
The enter this temple of hope

Believe
Transcend the pain
Living the live
Humility
Opened my eyes
This new odyssey
Of rigorous honesty

Serenity
I never know
Soundness of mind
Helped me to find
Courage the change
All the things that I can

"We'll help you perform this miracle
But you must set your past free
You dog the hole, but you can't bury your soul
Open your mind and you will see"

Help me – I can't break out this prison all alone
Save me – I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own
Heal me – I can't restore my sanity alone

III. Revelation

Way off in the distance I saw the door
I tried to open
I tried forcing with all of my will and still
The door wouldn't open

Unable to trust in my faith
I turned and walked away
I looked around, felt a chill in the air
Took my will and turned it over

The glass prison which once held me is now gone
A long lost fortress
Armed only with liberty
And the key of my willingness

Fell down on my knees and prayed
"Thy will be done"
I turned around, saw a light shining through
The door was wide open

Lyrics

Man, it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the midday sun
I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My munequita
My Spanish harlem Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove, yeah

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Because you're so smooth, yeah

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well, that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kinda lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it

I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it'd be a cryin' shame
In every breath and every word
I hear your name callin' me out
Out from the bario
You hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turnin' of the world
So soft and slow
Turnin' you round and round

And if you said this life ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better suit your mood
Because you're so smooth, yeah

And it's just like the ocean under the moon
Well, that's the same as the emotion that I get from you
You got the kinda lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it

Or else forget about it...
Or else forget about it...
Or else go and and forget about it
Give me your heart, make it real
Or else forget about it, oh oh now let's go and forget about it
Or else forget about it, oh oh now let's go and forget about it
Now, now, now let's go and forget about it

Bah, I shall use this thread, I suppose. This song is freaking amazing. :3

Lyrics: Nothing´s ever changed, you still turn away
You´ve washed your hands, you´ve made that all too clear
You just keep on living this lie

You refuse to see, you´re denying me
the cross I bear but you don´t seem to care
Even Judas knew he had lied

I keep wondering why
I´m still calling your name through my tears

Why have you waited to embrace me my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I´m still wondering why
I´m still calling your name my dear

I´m sorry if you can´t stand the naked truth
All you see is how you want it to be
So you keep on living your life

Release me from this cross after all these years
Oh call my name and help me with this weight
Even though it comes far too late

I keep wondering why
I´m still calling your name through my tears

Why have you waited to embrace me my dear
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I´m still wondering why I´m still calling your name
and I wonder, oh I wonder...

In my heart I still hope you will open the door
You can purify it all, answer my call

Why? Why?

Why have you waited to embrace me my dear?
Cold is your silence, denying what is real
I´m still wondering why I´m still calling your name
and I wonder, oh I wonder...

In my heart I still hope you will open the door
You can purify it all, answer my call

Title: See Who I Am
Artist: Within Temptation

Lyrics:

Is it true what they say
Are we too blind to find a way
Fear of the unknown cloud our hearts today
Come into my world
See through my eyes
Try to understand
Don't wanna lose what we have

We've been dreamin' but who can deny
It's the best way of livin' between the truth and the lie

See who I am
Break through the surface
Reach for my hand
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way
The world is in our hands
This is not the end

Fear is withering the soul
At the point of no return
We must be the change we wish to see
I'll come into your world
See through your eyes
I'll try to understand
Before we lose what we have

We just can't stop believin' 'cause we have to try
We can rise above their truth and their lies

See who I am
Break through the surface
Reach for my hand
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way
The world is in our hands
See who I am
Break through the surface
Reach for my hand
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way
The world is in our hands
This is not the end

I hear the silence preaching my blame
Will our strength remain if their power reigns

[instrumental]

See who I am
Break through the surface
Reach for my hand
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way
The world is in our hands
See who I am
Break through the surface
Reach for my hand
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way
The world is in our hands
See who I am
Break through the surface
Reach for my hand
Let's show them that we can
Free our minds and find a way
The world is in our hands
This is not the end

Title: The Wicked End
Situation: Fast-paced, highly destructive/apocalyptic battle or very desperate situation
Link: YouTube - Avenged Sevenfold - The Wicked End
Lyrics:

Man's becoming more corrupt now, godless, wicked, and cruel
The soulless man stood silent, Mary's word rang so true
Chastisement worse than the flood, spread the word, it's all through
Don't kill the messenger girl
As if we haven't swam enough in this life of misery

Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
Feel sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
Swallowed lies and swam in our own tears
A stab in the dark but it wounded our will
We won't be here tomorrow, hold onto me for one last time

We've grown into the number six hundred sixty-six
War breaks, a sign of the end, eternally expelled
Look to the sky for knowledge, the stars align tonight
Eclipse and heaven shall fall
Now I know I've seen it all in my life of misery

Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
Feel sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
Swallowed lies and swam in our own tears
A stab in the dark, but it wounded our will
Dust the apple off, savor each bite
And deep inside you know Adam was right
Lust and power, indulgence, no fear
Left with his sins, how does this end?
We won't be here tomorrow, hold onto me for one last time

Crazy guitar solo
Amazing orchestral/choral part

As the prophets shed the light on what's to come the crowds did gather
Your time is precious, they explained, no time to worry, messiah's coming
Don't go to sleep tonight, darling, hold me in you're arms
These will be our final days and I can't let go

Walls are falling, churches burning, women ravaged, children crying
Flesh is tearing, some still fighting
In this world of misery

Voice your prophecy, shed us some light
Feel sorrow for mankind's chance to survive
Swallowed lies and swam in our own tears
A stab in the dark, but it wounded our will
Dust the apple off, savor each bite
And deep inside you know Adam was right
Lust and power, indulgence, no fear
Left with his sins, how does this end?
We won't be here tomorrow, hold on to me for one last time
