fav. slow song in the world

[muchacho]

what is your favorite slow song in the world. it can be any slow song from any band from any kind of music(rap, rock, pop, classical, ect)

i like "nothing else matters", "going to california", and "fade to black"

[XxSephirothxX]

Blue from Cowboy Bebop. :cry:

[kikimm]

Honestly, I don't like slow songs. Especially from pop stars, but meh...

There are some good ones, though---Nirvana's "Polly" (if that's not the name, I'm sorry) is especially good. I like Limp Bizkit's "Drown", which I listen to whenever I'm depressed, or confused about something. Silverchair's slow songs are listenable as well.


:D

[Jebus]

Hmm. I don't have just ONE favourite. I love slow songs.

My favouritests are:

Pink Floyd - Wearing the Inside Out

Dream Theater - Disappear

ehh...

Damn. DT has good slow songs, but they were all written by Kevin Moore. How is that their best?

Fates Warning has the best slow songs. Chasing Time is very under-appreciated. A pleasant shade of grey part VI is also really good.

If the emotion in Disappear doesn't strike you at all, then you're missing something... (read this thread: http://dreamtheater.net/bb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=58049)

Yes, Chasing Time is a great song. I'm not sure if I really have a favorite Fates ballad though.

[Shoeberto]

Radiohead - No Suprises

Also my favorite song.

[Mark Mullins]

i like "nothing else matters", "going to california", and "fade to black"

You got a second on Fade to Black.

[jrgen]

Fade to black isn't really that slow.

I'd like to add Letzte Instanz - Zarter Engel to my list.
Beautiful song.

[escobert]

Cold - Bleed

[Kirobaito]

Unchained Melody, by whoever first sang it, because I'm a sucker for love songs =P
Righteous Brothers.

<b>Edit: Oh wait, Sacred Phoenix already said so.</b>

Most of the songs I like are slow.

"From Here to Eternity" - Michael Peterson
"Remember When" - Alan Jackson
"Annie's Song" - John Denver

are my favorites.

[DMKA]

Oh Jebus, too many slow songs to name that I love.

Smoke by Natalie Imbruglia is definitely near the top of my list though.

[Giga Guess]

Like DMKA, I have FAR too many songs to name individually....

Lonestar-Amazed is awesome...

Berlin-Take My Breath Away
Seal-Love's Divine
Celine Dion-It's All Coming Back To Me Now
Cyndi Lauper-Time After Time
Enya-Only Time (Not sure if this truly qualifies here, but...)


Prolly many more, but those are on the forefront of my mind....

[Leeza]

Corey Hart - <i>Tell Me</i>

[fire_of_avalon]

Mad at Gravity - Stay

I can feel you pull away
And it's just as I lean in
And the timing leaves me wide open
With a miss I am betrayed
Slices right through my thick skin
Yet I seek another high

Im asking you to stay in my arms
Away youre breaking me apart
Stay in my arms
Away youre breaking me apart

And I'm out here on a limb
But I'm holding out my hand
Hoping you can make the climb with me
And I'm carving in the bark
And dropping down to where you stand
Trying silence on for size

Im asking you to stay in my arms
Away youre breaking me apart
Stay in my arms
Away youre breaking me apart

And I miss you in my fingers
And valleys in between
It's odd how feelings linger
For something yet unseen
Theres ages between
My heart and my mouth
My veins throb with that
Which I cant spit out
Now I dont need much
Just presence in mind
And the assurance
Your ache matches mine

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

The Lengths, by the Black Keys. I suggest you give it a listen. Yes, you.

[MoonsEcho]

Jeez there are so many...I'll spare you and just make a short list at random of a few I really like...

GooGooDolls - Black Balloon
GooGooDolls - Name
GooGooDolls - Iris
Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight
Phil Collins - I Wish It Would Rain Down
Madonna - This Used To Be My Playground
Poison - Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Terra's Theme from Final Fantasy VI

Just a few from my playlist, I assure you there is more. I also have to go with Lifehouse's Everything, and Metallica's Nothing Else Matters & Unforgiven.

[Odaisé Gaelach]

Can't Say Goodbye to Yesterday - Rika Muranaka

[Moose Knight]

Okay, I took your advice and did listen to Disappear again. I admit its a little better than I originally thought, but still...its like they were trying to make Space Dye Vest again, because those two songs sound extremely similiar. But the problem is that Kevin moore (aka god) wrote Space Dye Vest, so there's not a very good chance another slow DT song will be better than it.

[Silmaril]

Lifehouse :love:

[Seifer]

What I consider a slow song might be different then what a lot of other people consider slow, but...(There's a certain degree that songs have to pass in order for me to consider them faster than slow.)

I'd say November Rain by Guns N' Roses followed right by The Perfect Ending by Straylight Run.

Disappear, like the rest of Six Degrees will really grow on you. Of course I didn't realise you're of the Kevin = God opinion. I think Space-Dye Vest just got old with me... it's good but I don't get shivers or anything from it anymore.
