What song really gets to you? I don't care what the experts say or what "convention" expects you to subscribe to.......mine is incomprehensible as I suppose those if your choices are.

Music....... incredible power....

Doesn't really matter. Akala's music is about history, society and life.
He's not merely a rapper, but a journalist, author and activist. He received an honorary doctorate, and speaks and lectures at universities all round the world.
His music hits hard. Gritty and true to life in today's world.


You’re not his agent by any chance, are you?

There are lots of random songs from quite different genres that really give me goosebumps. I didn't realise until my wife pointed out that they all contain sweeping string elements.

Ever since my son was... never conceived, because I've never had consensual sex without money involved... I've always kind of looked at you as... a thing, that I could live next to... in accordance with state laws.

Pachelbel's Canon In D Major - At 11 years old I played the melody on the keyboard and I attached it to my Gran, who died. First song that made me cry.
Moody Blues - I Know You're Out There Somewhere. As a child, I thought of my father during the chorus. My parents divorced and he drank his life away. The first time I heard the song after he died, I utterly broke down.
Nick Drake - Horn. Played it at my father's funeral. No pretense; one guitar playing a simple melody over a D drone. I doubt I could listen again without welling up.
Woods of Ypres - Finality. Heartbreaking stuff, written by a thoughtful atheist who died far too young. Beautiful. The way he delivers the final lines is achingly touching: 'Though we leave the world apart, I still went peacefully, quietly, with you still firmly in my heart'.
Sigur Ros - Ny Batteri. Just listen and you'll realise why.
The Smiths - There is a Light That Never Goes Out. I have to sing and play this song in my band. Sometimes I struggle to sing it without wavering. Again, The Smiths are associated with my father, and they are my favourite band ever.

You know, I rarely cry. But when I do, music is nearly always involved. In fact, revisiting these songs has made my watery-eyed! It is a wonderful thing to have in our lives.

Walked into work yesterday with Cranberries - Dreams playing in background and that put hairs on back of neck transporting me back to the happy 90's. Finished work, put song on loop for 15 minutes just to get out of the system.

I’m not surprised your gran died if you attached a keyboard to her.

The use of Dreams as part of the soundtrack to Derry Girls reminded me how much I loved that song, and indeed the group and I got out my CDs and gave them a listen.

Also Monny’s mention of Say hello Wave Goodbye resonates, as I was at the Soft Cell 40th concert at the O2 not long ago when they finished with that. Always been a favourite - Marc Almond was (and is) a fabulous torch song singer.

On a more general note, am listening to a lot of Handel opera at the moment again, which is simply beautiful.

This is a great place to start, from Rinaldo. Sung by a counter- tenor, as Handel intended.
