A Flame to the Ground Beneath - Lost Horizon

There is a reason why it is my favorite album of all time. No album displays inner strength better.[/quote]

I should take another listen to that album, if I can ever find time for it, given my ever-growing CD collection.

Dragonforce is a bit over the top for me, but whatever floats your boat. I listen to some music that might make others here shudder but that doesn't bother me.

I know I'm gonna cop shit for this, but when I feel totally like I want to stop breathing, I chuck on Dragonforce's "Valley of the Damned". I dunno, it makes me smile. Grin, even. (How un-metal is that?:)) It makes me feel like I'm 10 foot tall and bulletproof. And damn good-lookin, too, for some strange reason . . . *shrugs*

That's tough for me to say. Since most of the albums I listen to evoke feelings from me in one way or another anyway, I guess it really just depends. If I'm depressed or just feeling down, I'll probably listen to Still Life or My Arms, Your Hearse by Opeth, or maybe Pain of Salvation's Remedy Lane. Possibly even some Blue Oyster Cult. If I'm angry, on the other hand, I might listen to something like Vital Remains or Decapitated. But for the most part, I can listen to just about any of my albums no matter what mood I'm in. As long as I'm listening to something, I'm alright.

Sonata Arctica-Silence

Visions of Atlantis-Cast Away

Celtic Frost- Monotheist

Anal Cunt - picnic of love.

Huun Huur Tu - where young grass grows, nothing is better than mongolian throat music.

In good times or bad times....for me it is always [b]VENOM[/b]'s [b]WELCOME TO HELL[/b]. The greatest album in the history of music!!

Lateralus by Tool is at the top of my list...

[The Patient]
A groan of tedium escapes me, startling the fearful.
Is this a test?
It has to be. Otherwise I can't go on.
Draining patience, drain vitality,
this paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little ooold.

But I'm still right here, giving blood, keeping faith. And I'm still right here.
But I'm still right here, giving blood, keeping faith. And I'm still right heeeeeeeere.

(I'm gonna wait it oooout 3x)

If there were no rewards to reeeeap,
no loving embrace to see me throuuuugh,
this tedious path I've chosen heeeeere,
I certainly would've walked awaaay by nooooow.

I'm gonna wait it oooout.

If there were no desire to heaaaal,
The damaged and broken met alooong,
this tedious path I've chosen heeeere,
I certainly would've walked awaaay by nooooow.

-And I still may. And I still may.-

(Be patieeent. 3x)

I must keep reminding myself of this... {repeats continually in background...

If there were no rewards to reaaaaap,
no loving embrace to see me throuuuugh,
this tedious path I've chosen heeeeere,
I certainly would've walked awaaay by nooooow. ...finishes}
(And I still maaaay. 3x)
And I...

Gonna wait it out.
Gonna wait it ouuuut.
Gonna wait it out.
Gonna wait it ouuuuut.

A few others I would include would be Alice in Chains Unplugged, Sea Change by Beck, and Dummy by Portishead.

Whenever I fall on emotionally hard times, I always just turn it into anger and rage.

Kataklysm's album In The Arms of Devastation with the song The Road To Devastation:

It wasn't so long ago I remember time's life was so cold
Everything was dark and I still thought I had a chance in life
the demons called my name, they dragged me inside the chambers of hell
No one could hear me, I bled tears of pain

Son, confront me... The Road to Devastation
Kneel before me... The Road to Devastation
Inhale. Exhale... The Road to Devastation
This is my life... The Road to Devastation

The sun would rise, the hope would die inside
Another day of misery as the clock turns to agony
Feel the sense of lost time...
When everything falls to pieces and left with a glimpse of light

It wasn't so long ago I remember time's life was so cold
Everything was dark and I still thought I had a chance in life
the demons called my name, they dragged me inside the chambers of hell
No one could hear me, I bled tears of pain

Son, confront me... The Road to Devastation
Kneel before me... The Road to Devastation
Inhale. Exhale... The Road to Devastation
This is my life... The Road to Devastation

Lyrics to one of my all time favorite songs, Don't Follow by Alice in Chains.

Hey, I ain't never coming home
Hey, I'll just wander my own road
Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow
Say goodbye don't follow
Misery so hollow

Hey you, you're livin' life full throttle
Hey you, pass me down that bottle, yeah
Hey you, you can't shake me round now
I get so lost and don't know how
And it hurts to care, I'm going down

Forgot my woman, lost my friends
Thinks I'd done and where I've been
Sleep in sweat the mirrors cold
See my face it's growin' old
Scared to death no reason why
Do whatever to get me by

Think about the things I said
Read the page it's cold and dead

Take me home

Lyrics to another of my favorite songs, Gathering Dust by David Gray.

I got no reason
But that I must
Maybe I feel
Like I've been gatherin' dust
I must leave this harbour for the sea
I'm too young to settle down and make a home
But I don't know where I'm wanting to be
I just know I have to be there alone

Stole my time, all my time
Stole my time for you

Pale winter sun
Is beatin' the ground
Why'm I throwin' away
The best thing that I've found
My young heart's in tatters and I'm sure
That it will be a long time healing
It's so hard to see what I'm doing this for
When loneliness is all that I'm feeling

Stole my time, all my time
Spend my time, for you

Now the wind it is blowing
Blowing leaves from the trees
I've got no use knowing
That with time it'll ease
I don't know where I'm going
Hope I get there soon
Cos my soul is hollow
As the sorrowful moon
Na na na na...

The night is raining on my weary head
Taking me back

See the sun spread its wings of gold
As the dawn unfurls
Hear the song that the moon sings
To the darkened world
Feel the fire lighting
In the bitter cold
It's like the light that shines
Through the windows of your soul

This is a tough one for me becuase there are so many albums that I could choose. I go through so many moods and I have listened to all types of music over the years making it impossible to choose one. So I will mention a few that have turned to for emotional support in years past.

David Gray - A Century Ends

Alice In Chains - Jar of Flies

Bruce Springsteen - Greatest Hits or Born to Run

Eric Clapton - Rush Soundtrack

Jeff Buckley - Grace

U2 - The Joshua Tree

Savatage - Streets: A Rock Opera

Testament - The Gathering (for a quick kick in the ass)

Mostly I have specific songs I can turn to, but as far as albums these are among the best. Some of the songs I turn to, that are not included in any of the above albums are:

Alone - Suicidal Tendencies

Wake Up and River of Deceit - Mad Season

Where did You Sleep Last Night - Nirvana Unplugged

She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult (great pick-me-up)

In an Empty Room and What Kind of Animal - Frameshift

Wasted Time and In a Darkened Room - Skid Row

Estranged - Guns n Roses

Fade to Black - Metallica

Eraser - Nine Inch Nails

5150 - Van Halen

Life by the Drop - Stevie Ray Vaughn

Dreams - Allman Brothers Band

Virtue and Vice - Black Crowes

Hear My Train-A Coming - Jimi Hendrix

Unreflected - Mazzy Star

Memory Motel - Rolling Stones

The First Cut is the Deepest - Rod Stewart (yeah, that's right. Rod freakin Stewart)

I always believe, that there is an album we all have, regardless of genre that we use as emotional comfort in rough times. So, tell us about it. Share lyrics, albums whatever. In fact I just got off the super secret fucking phone with our lovely owner......he said this thread is mandatory to reply with!!!

For me, that album has to be Poison the Well - The Opposite of December. The acoustic interludes really adds melancholic feel to these songs and the lyrics are true poetry. Also, it features my favorite song of all time and this song also has the lyrics that have touched me the most and it almost hurts to listen to it these days. That song, is "Nerdy"

Why do your eyes paralyze me
What makes me feel this way
Just carry me away with silence and heartbeats
As rapid thinking about your embrace
and how it makes me feel
I just want to feel this way forever
Sleep on portraits painted as perfect as you
Why have I been given the chance to fly
When I'm not with you I feel lesser alone
I remember your face / imprinted on angels
Your voice as beautiful / as the sounds of waves
crashing against my heart
Time slows down when you look at me
I'm infatuated with this / infatuated with you
It's so hard for me to understand why
I hadn't found you before don't dull away
hold my hand

Another one that I find comforting.

Artists Rendering Of Me

With all my said unsaids / Never swallow
The idea of a happy ending
Another days memory dies
As I'm made to smile / these lifeless days
have left me with an empty heart
another wounded memory dies
I could / never / swallow your false ideals
of a lifeless / happy ending
how could words slit wrists and doors close
present day heart felt moments / killed by a slap
to the hand / another wounded memory dries
poisonous screams with messages
not thought of when released
another day here / another memory dies
