BoC's most Emotional *BEATLESS* Tune (post twoism please)

Post by Vordhosbn »

I think the list I've compiled should be good, but tell me if you think I've missed any. Some tunes with beats are very emotional, but thats for another thread :) )

(umm I really don't think the tracks from trans canada highway are all that emotionally charged other than the remix, which is not technically BoC)

I'd have to go with Corsair. I could listen to that track on repeat for hours, It just makes me want to lie down and look at the sky and think about the past. I can't even describe in words what the track makes me feel, its by me, the most emotionally affecting track I've ever heard in my life. The first time I heard it, I cried. And still I cry when I hear it. There's no specific memories associated with it, it just hits me.

Hands down Corsair. But I put the other ones up just in case.

(sorry about forgetting Zoetrope, Thats a very emotionally affecting tune)

What about tracks from the non commercially released albums?

I would nominate Kite Racer 2 from Old Tunes Volume 2 or 5/9/78 from A Few Old Tunes.

Damn! I wish I could take my vote back b/c I overlooked Open The Light. Oh well, Olsen deserves a vote anyway.

Tough choice, but I went with Olson..Corsair was a good choice, or Dandelion if it was on that list.

And also..I second ATP track 1 :shock: :shock: :shock:

Apparently the definition of ambient to him is "Beat-less music". Beethoven is ambient :wink:

OTHR is perhaps most meaningful for me (played it at our wedding)...

ATP Track 1 next. One honorable mention would be Powerline Misfortune... for sure a moving track.

To pick from the list I'd have to say Corsair. But their most moving track for me is Dawn Chorus. Soylent Night is pretty awesome as well...

I get teary eyed every time I listen to O.T.H.R that song has made itself really personal in me for some reason.
