08. Bob Dylan – Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door

 

Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door by Bob Dylan is probably the best soundtrack of our lives. The famous song has been covered by innumerable performers, including Eric Clapton, GN’R, Roger Waters and numerous contemporary artists.

Booker T. Jones has told the story of playing bass on this famed track, saying,

[blockquote author=”Booker T. Jones” link=”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booker_T._Jones” target=”_blank”]He [Dylan] lived over in Paradise Cove and I lived on Winding Way in Malibu. I bought Lana Turner’s old house and I’m not sure where he lived, but he had a house just across the road there and he would come over and pick up my guitar and work on songs and stuff. They were working on the movie with Jason Robards late one night, and for some reason [Dylan] just called me up and asked me to come over to the studio and to play on the song, and I played bass on it[/blockquote]

Moment you’ll tear up:

Mama, put my guns in the ground (Ooh)
I can’t shoot them anymore (Ooh)
That cold black cloud is comin’ down (Ooh)
Feels like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door (Ooh)

  

07. Terry jacks – Seasons in the sun

 

The first form of this songs – called “Le Moribond” (interpreted “The Dying Man”) and sung in French – depended on the story of an elderly person biting the dust of grief because of his better half going behind his back with his closest companion. Be that as it may, Terry Jacks, dedication to a friend who was dying of leukemia at the time, reworked the track, excluding references to the aforementioned story and instead basing it on a man’s final words to some distinct people whom he loves.

  
  

06. Simon & Garfunkel – The Sounds of Silence

 
 

Paul Simon told that he composed the melody when he was 21.

He clarified that he composed the song at his first task in music industry. His activity was to take the tunes that the distributing company owned, go to record companies and check if any of their artists needed to record these songs. He worked for around a half year and didn’t have a single song placed, so he gave them two or three his songs as he felt remorseful about taking their cash. At that point he got into a contention with them and stated, Look, I quit, and I’m not giving you my new song.” This song was “The Sound of Silence.” He felt that he would publish it himself, and starting there, Paul claimed his musics.

[blockquote author=”Paul Simon” link=”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Simon” target=”_blank”]The key to “The Sound of Silence” is the simplicity of the melody and the words, which are [based on] youthful alienation. It’s a young lyric, but not bad for a 21-year-old. It’s not a sophisticated thought, but a thought that I gathered from some college reading material. It wasn’t something that I was experiencing at some deep, profound level – nobody’s listening to me, nobody’s listening to anyone – it was a post-adolescent angst, but it had some level of truth to it, and it resonated with millions of people. Largely because it had a simple and singable melody[/blockquote]

  

05. Passenger – Let Her Go

 
 

We never truly can experience darkness without the idea of light. We never can value the estimation of an individual when they are simply there. We are simply too agreeable and acquainted with one another until we let them go. We shoo them away by our mean words, neglectful deeds, immature ways. At that point they are no more.

Life is short so given us a chance to spread love. We experience torment however we should love in any case and let that mean, immature and thoughtless person we give it a second thought. We cherish love.

Moment you’ll tear up:

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
‘Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

  

04. Johnny Cash – Hurt

 

Here’s a line directly from the Associated Press’ ongoing survey of a Nine Inch Nails show: “NIN shut the night with a slow and smoky cover of Johnny Cash’s ‘Hurt.'” The Internet had a field day ridiculing the wire administration for the glaring blunder, and the article has since been expelled from the website, yet it’s straightforward how a wonder such as this occurred; Johnny Cash’s 2002 spread has essentially displaced the first in the hearts of people in general. Cash was a year from passing on when he cut the song, and he transformed the story of heroin maltreatment into a think back on his life while scarcely changing any of the verses. June Carter Cash showed up in the video only three months before she dies. With no contest, it was Cash’s final masterpiece and the ideal tribute. When you hear Trent Reznor singing it today, it’s almost difficult to not consider Johnny Cash.

  

03. Gary Jules – Mad World

 

Story of a unhappy childhood and too much depression. The entire song is him realizing that there’s no point in existing. He’s not necessarily suicidal, but he sees existence as trivial. His dreams about dying are not necessarily about death, but about ceasing to exist altogether, something he wishes was possible. The part about the children is saying that children are oblivious to the concept of existence, that they see only what they know, and that he wishes he could share their ignorance. The birthday symbolizes the child’s mentality of an event so significant that it is worth looking forward to consistently, believing that the next one will be better than the last, when in reality the effects of the event dull until it is simply another day. During the time when a child feels so excited about an event that an adult finds almost insignificant, they display true ignorance and obliviousness. The singer yearns to be a child and have such mentalities, but as he cannot, he sees no reason to exist.

Moment you’ll tear up:

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

  
 

02. R.E.M. – Everybody Hurts

 

Basically, R.E.M’s. “Everyone Hurts” is intended to keep people from ending their very own lives. In 2003, co-essayist Peter Buck of R.E.M. had expressed that its melodious straightforwardness is established in the way that the track is “waimed at teenagers”. Nonetheless, it ought to be noted, interestingly, that the spread workmanship for “Everyone Hurts” includes a man who is obviously a senior resident. Or on the other hand, as Buck later expressed in 2005, this tune has “tended to work for people of a lot of ages”.

However, evidently R.E.M. needed youthful audience members specifically who might experience the ill effects of genuine sorrow to relate to the song and accept an alternate course rather than potentially self-hurt. What’s more, the contention the band uses is that “everybody hurts”. At the end of the day, the focused on group of spectators isn’t the only one in their torment. Actually being discontent with the manner in which things are going is something that we as a whole experience on occasion. So as opposed to accomplishing something outrageous, they should “hang on”, as in not abandon life. What’s more, one specific cure the band upholds is for such people to “take comfort in (their) friends”.

The iconic video showing depressed people in a traffic jam was filmed in San Antonio, Texas. MTV played it all the time in 1993, making this one of R.E.M.’s most well-known songs.

01. Eric Clapton – Tears in Heaven

 

Eric Clapton’s child Conor was only four years of age when he tumbled to his death from the 53th floor of a New York working in 1991. Not long after the disaster, Clapton and lyricist Will Jennings wrote “Tears in Heaven” as a tribute to the youngster. They never envisioned it would turn into an immense hit, yet inside months, it was Number Two on the Hot 100 and swept the Grammys. The melody originally showed up on the soundtrack to the generally overlooked Jason Patric film Rush, yet the variant a great many people recall originates from Clapton’s 1992 Unplugged special. By 2004, Clapton could never again bear to play out the tune at his shows and he dropped it; it returned earlier this year.
