Got the idea for this from another forum. Basically it goes like this. Someone posts a song and the next person rates it and then posts one as well. I think it’s a great way to show off your musical tastes.
I’ll start with this classic. It’s one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs:
“Nobody Home”–Pink Floyd
 
Yikes, apparently a song about relationships seen through the eyes of a heroin addict.

0 to 10 rating scale?

In that it warns people away from falling into the mental pit of drug abuse, I’d give the song a 7. However, I’d only be able to listen to that song once. I would call that a song of lament or a mournful dirge.

My song, also a song of lament:

Miserere Mei Deus - Psalm 51

youtube.com/watch?v=fcWo1hKHu40

Translated to English:

Translation:

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy loving kindness:
According unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness.

O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem.
Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.

How about “Te Deum” or “Holy God we Praise Thy Name”—this and Immaculate Mary are the two songs I remember the lyrics to and both are beautiful songs!

7/10

Again, not much of a music judge but I like the guitar solo parts and the more “rock”-sounding bits. :o

Anyways, as much I hate Marilyn Manson and everything he stands for, this is the one and only exception:

This is Halloween - Marilyn Manson

Kinda suits the season don’t ya think? (Btw, I’d have actually posted some of the cool Halloween amvs that used this song but I fear they’re waaay too disturbing for these forums. XD)
 
Re: Bringing it Back:

Sorry, I don’t know if this counts, but I could only watch the 1st 5 seconds. It was too heavy metal/death metal or whatever for me. But I looked up the lyrics. 6/10 for the lyrics, although I cannot vouch for the morality of the lyrics.

Now my turn: “Otherside” by Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I’ll give it 7/10 for the smooth melody but the lyrics were kinda hard to follow. :o
