Probably an atmospheric black metal song. It's like the most beautifully depressing sounding genre lol, though it is by design.

In a different metal genre, an artist called Ihsahn has some dark, often beautifully sad lyrics, one of my favorites is the chorus from Twin Black Angels.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD2UcOkr-ec

What would it be, how would it feel
If the ideals of self were real?
Is it a cure, or is it disease?
Would I know emptiness from peace?
Tracing the fears back to the start
Raptures to tear the world apart
Written in scars that never heal
This is the deal
This is the deal

Sleep Token is also a master of evoking emotions.

My example for them is a little different because while they do write some beautifully sad lyrics (the creator of the project based it around a messy divorce he was going through), my actual selection is based off a comment I read on YT for the song Levitate.

The chorus goes:

Will you levitate
Up where the angels inhabit?
Will you levitate
Where I won't reach you?

And the reason that is so sad to me is because there was a comment from a father who played the song as his young son's funeral and says he can't listen to the song anymore without crying. As anti-religious as I am (the lyrics clearly describe such), I still have a heart and after reading that comment I honestly can't even think about the song without thinking about that comment.

I've been searching for the YT video that had the comment, I can't seem to find it and I know I didn't make it up, so not sure what to say. Don't know if he deleted it or if YT removed it cause it dealt with death of a child or something. However the song has a sad enough feel in its own right.

Oh man, almost forgot about Zeal & Ardor.

They have a song called Stranger Fruit (also the name of their second album) which talks about the subject, however I think the saddest song on that album is the final track which is not only sad instrumentally, but also lyrically because it's about accepting that we are bound to die alone. The song is Built On Ashes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reUg8U5o20k

Like a strange fruit, that's out of season
Oh, you are bound to die alone
You will swing free on the breeze then
Oh, you are bound to die alone
(You are bound to die alone)
At the end of the day with the lights out
Oh, you are bound to die alone
(Oh)

At the end of it all, there is no doubt
Oh, that you are bound to die alone
(We are bound to die alone)

Don't, darling, die on me now
(Don't, darling, die on me now)
We'll dig this grave close to your home
(We'll dig a grave close to your home)
Don't you fix your eyes on me now
(Don't you fix your eyes on me now)
We never said you'd come back home
(We never said you'd come back home)

They're coming closer just to kill us
Don't cry, don't cry on me now
No, they ain't ever gonna help us
Close to his grave we'll build our home
They're coming closer just to kill us
Don't you fix your eyes on me now
You know they're never gon' help us
We never said you'd come back home

Another from them on the same album is called You Ain't Coming Back. Powerfully sad instrumentation with lyrics about saying your final farewells cause "you ain't coming back"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tWGD-EAgNQ

All these days gonna pass like a grass fire
Don't let anybody tell you that you're safe
One of these days I'ma head for the last mile
So don't let anybody tell you that you're safe

These are the eyes that saw them die
These are the hands that dug their graves
So don't let anybody tell you that you're safe
So don't let anybody tell you that you're safe

You gotta let go, let go, let (tell your father you ain't coming back)
You gotta let go, let go, child (tell your mother that you're gonna die)
You gotta let go, let go, let (and let them know you're gonna be awhile)
You gotta let go, let go

Tell your father you ain't coming back (let go, let go, let go now)
Look at your home for the last time (let go, let go, let)
Tell your brother that you're gonna die (let go, let go, let go now)
And let them know you're gonna be awhile (let go, let go, let)

Tell your father you ain't coming back
Look at your home for the last time
Tell your brother that you're gonna die
But don't let anybody tell you that you're safe

If I'm able to these are the 2 songs I'd like to be the last songs I listen to.

Amazing show. Deserved way more than a measly 2 seasons.

I remember watching this on Cartoon Network. Didn't realize it only had 2 seasons, probably cause I was a kid.

Oda will get the same for sure. I assume Miyamoto and Kojima will get the same, though not to THIS level for Kojima. Miyamoto for sure.

Hayao Miyazaki too should get a similar reaction.

Kishimoto likely as well.

In spite of all the Naruto haters, it's still one of the most popular mainstream anime that a lot of people you wouldn't think would be into anime have seen or have merchandise for.

I will say, Toriyama and Oda do a better job of associating their name with their works than Kishimoto likely does. Though when he dies articles will make the connections for people so we'll see.

Perhaps the least disappointing Disney live action adaptation.

I like having that extra hour of daylight in the evening during the spring and summer time, and same with fall/winter having an extra hour of daylight in the morning. Also I don't have a sleep schedule, and it doesn't affect me and my day-to-day activities. It's a pure selfish reason why I like it.

Well that's fair, I appreciate the honesty.

Also, the plan they voted for recently in Congress would have made the time setting with the extra hour of sunlight the permanent time, so you would have been satisfied with that because you still get what you want, only on a permanent basis.

Toriyama deserved it.

I'm hoping Rowling doesn't get the same treatment because she definitely does not deserve it.

Arizona has an actual reason for not adhering to it though.

Their reason is they didn't stupidly vote to approve it like every other U.S. state (that existed at the time) did.

Regardless of their reasoning for deciding against it, that is the reason they don't have it; because they didn't vote to have it. That's literally the only reason it exists in the rest of the nation.

It's just bullshit created during WWI to preserve oil (which public lamps used back then for lighting) so more could be used for the war effort.

Well captain America was literally created to boost patriotism in kids. And was made around then I believe.

I just think captain nazi is a funny name. Shazam had a few interesting villains. But I think he's the only hero who has a villain who's far more popular than he is.

My point was, it doesn't mean much to point out that he has a villain who is a Nazi when Marvel comics feature literal Hitler in a panel.

Also, yeah, his name is Captain Nazi. You were doubting yourself in an earlier post, however you were right.

I don't know which villain you're talking about that's far more popular than him. Looking up his list of main villains the only one I recognize as a non-comic reader is Black Adam and that's admittedly only because of the movie.

I at least knew Shazam was a real character before I saw the movie.

ShaneMcComez posted...

I like daylight savings time. No need to change that.

That's not affiliated with any party, ideology, or side of the spectrum. A year or so ago both parties overwhelmingly voted to end it, but it ultimately went nowhere.

Also, it's nonsense that only existed to conserve energy during WWI, I honestly don't know what you would like about. Arizona doesn't even adhere to the asininity, demonstrating it's not essential to anything.

Bruh, they've got Leprechaun In the Hood.

It's definitely a series that does not take itself seriously and I can respect that.

Not saying it's my favorite series or anything, it's just more refreshing that a horror series that takes itself too seriously and gets super fucking ridiculous.

Like, to this day I still have trouble figuring out if they were serious when they made Jason X or if they were intentionally fucking with their audience.

Also, Warwick Davis is the Leprechaun, which I admittedly just learned myself cause when I last watched those movies I didn't know who that was.

Sufferedphoenix posted...

Yes Shazam. Had a villain that was a literal nazi.

Captain America literally punches Hitler, it's even a famous panel. So not all that surprising.

and to answer the other guys, a big chunk of my $3300 this year is from my wife's health insurance tax kickback due to losing her job. It's never that much, lol

Ah ok.

SomeLikeItHoth posted...

And I didn't like how kid Billy was barely in the movie.

What? His imprisonment, loss of powers and relationship with one of the villains was like a main plot point of the storyline.


SomeLikeItHoth posted...

I loved Blue Beetle. I watched it once in theaters and then again on Thanksgiving. It's a great family movie. Probably going to be a tradition where my family watches it every Thanksgiving now.

Nice. I watched it once by myself in theaters and then treated my mom to seeing it in theaters, I think also around Thanksgiving.

Yeah man that's why I said it lol

I understand, though in fairness I guess you probably weren't saying it was a right-wing view, just the closest it gets to being such.

Self-respect.

Just kidding, I didn't get a refund.

FactsKeepHurtin posted...

$3,300 refund? Fix your withholdings jfc

Yeah I agree with this. You're basically putting the money into a 0% interest savings account. Ideally you would receive as little as possible back, meaning you retain more during the year, and you'd put that money into an actual interest-bearing account.

I think people on the left should own guns.

I understand why you think that's a right-wing view, however many leftists actually hold this view because it's the most logical defense against right-wingers with guns.

I see the logic behind it, however due to my own personal stance on guns I don't agree with the desire to own in general, though I do see their logic. More Dems/leftists/progressives/liberals own guns than a lot of people on the right think because they don't make it a core aspect of their identity and talk about it every opportunity they get.

To harass and persecute the minority on the other side.

SkittyOnWailord posted...

I somewhat liked his boarder policies, though not to the extreme he did.
My second reason isn't political at all. It was funny watching him and seeing the random stuff he would do. It was like watching a comedy sitcom.
I just find Biden boring.

I didn't really care for most of what either did, but at least Trump was entertaining. Probably not a very good reason to like him, huh?

It's not, especially not with the harm Trump did to the country, its institutions, faith in elections, faith in facts & reality and the further damage he promises to do if he gets back in the White House.

However, I do appreciate your honesty so I'm not going to lambaste you for it.

I'll grant you that a clown is more entertaining than someone who takes governing seriously, however the Office of POTUS is not meant to be the main attraction of a circus. Biden may be boring, however that's because he's actually doing and has done great things for Americans due to taking the Office seriously.

I was not ready for Keegan Michael Key to be in that movie and the role he played.

I really liked the movie, more than I expected to, though I was never a hater on it before it released.

I don't think I've actually seen people say she can't sing. Definitely not some standard form of criticism. Mostly they think her music is bland or "made for women who get dumped".

SkittyOnWailord posted...

Yeah, idk. The more I read about it, the more I don't think I really fit in with either side. For presedents, I liked Clinton, Obama, and Trump. Didn't like Bush or Biden.

Ok, you've got to explain how you actually like Trump more than Biden, because that's straight-up illogical. Especially since you also liked Obama, and Trump is the anti-Obama. Like, the dude literally considered himself that and made it his mission to undo everything Obama did.

I'm sorry, I just don't see the appeal in these wrestling shenanigans.

The shit-talking has always been one of the most obnoxious aspect of "professional" wrestling imo.

I can respect the athleticism, the choreography, the artistic aspect, however when they run their mouths it reminds me of small dogs who never stfu, which is ironic considering it's coming from rather big and jacked up dudes (more often than not).

Women likely get more sexual satisfaction from the act due to nerves in the clitoris, however men definitely seek it out more and make obtaining it a core aspect of their personality more often than women do.

SkittyOnWailord posted...

I'm pro-choice, pro "the Wall", pro death penalty, anti guns, anti recreational marijuana, anti religion in schools and government, pro fixing the environment and stopping global warming, and I want very high taxes for the rich.

Someone tell me what that puts me in. Dem or Repub.

Well you're 3/9 on traditional "right-wing views", so it should be pretty obvious where you land.

However, I will also say that a lot of those left-leaning views you hold aren't inherently Dem either because that party can be really disappointing at times when it comes to doing the right thing. Quite a few of your views are further left than the Dem party itself is.

Trumble posted...

It's probably (though not definitely) safe to assume it was said as a joke. Even most extreme right-wing types don't support taking that away yet.

There are right-wingers seeking office who have literally said this. Mark Robinson in North Carolina and John Gibbs in Michigan are 2 examples.

If they feel confident enough to say it as candidates seeking office it's because they feel like enough of their base will support such notions. After all, the GOP's sole MO these days is seeking approval of their base and trying to out fascist other Republican candidates in order to be seen as the most favorable candidate to their base.

The only thing I could think of is the death penalty, however even that wasn't far right because I wanted for more stringent standards than right-wingers want for executing someone.

And even though a part of me still believes in that, ultimately I have sided against it due to innocent people who are executed.

pjnelson posted...

Pro-life (ferus) pro-capital-punishment (screw murderer lives) gun owning Democrat here.

Amazing that you could actually type out "pro-life" and "pro-capital-punishment" literally word to word without seeing the disconnect.

You're not pro-life, your pro-forced birth or pro-fetus, just like many other right-wingers (not saying you're a right-winger, however this is the company you keep with on these hypocritical views) who want children to suffer after they out of the womb, support wars, and support the state executing people.

Fascists gonna fascist.

FolkenRawr posted...

He says shit like this all the time

What a weird fucking time line when things like this are now just handwaived.

Especially when thinking back to how not that long ago Dean Howard's political aspirations ended because of an overly enthusiastic yell.

Now we've straight up got a motherfucker saying he'll suspend the Constitution, commit revenge against his enemies and critics, promising to be a dictator "for one day", quoting Hitler, constantly supporting and promising violence and he's neck in neck in polling with his opponent.

This country is truly fucked.

JuanCarlos1 posted...

Lmao. Im just looking at all the angles. The guy has been a whistleblower for quite a while now. Killing him JUST before the testimony makes it suspicious as fuck for Boeing and brings unwanted attention.

Newsflash: Rich fuckers who have never been held accountable to the law (or in this case actually have a large role in controlling and dictating the direction of our federal government) often flaunt the law and commit crimes because they're confident they'll get away with it.

You're literally saying this guy just killed himself to make it some huge spectacle.

Bringing the greatest spotlight to it would have been him testifying, not him killing himself on the day he was supposed to testify and now we will never have his testimony.

Guide posted...

His post doesn't make much sense, but I see nothing malicious in it to warrant calling him a terrible person.

He literally said this guy killed himself when he did to make it some huge spectacle/bring spotlight to it.

You know what would have brought an even greater spotlight to it? Him living and testifying.

Dude's trying to seriously pass off "he killed himself so that people would talk about Boeing on the day he was supposed to testify on Boeing".

Not only is it a shit-for-brains take, it makes the victim sound very stupid and impugns their character.

I'll grant you, perhaps terrible person was too far and I accept that. I still think it was a terrible post that served nothing logical.

Yeah, Freddie was great.

I thought it was a solid cast all around, however he was definitely the most important sibling and well-thought out character.

I too am disappointed there won't be a 3rd. The Shazam movies were some of my favorite DC movies.

Especially #2, Billy made the ultimate sacrifice for the greater good of everyone else without hesitating and that was one of the best hero moments in like all the DCU. That 15 year old kid was more heroic than pretty much every other DCU hero. Blue Beetle is also super dope, I really enjoyed that movie and character. Glad he's one of the few being kept going forward.

How did be say it wasn't suicide if he's dead

So you don't understand how someone told their family members "if something happens to me it wasn't suicide" before they died?

It's really not that hard. He died on the day he was scheduled to testify, he warned his family of the potential foul play beforehand.

JuanCarlos1 posted...

Either they killed him or he sacrificed himself in order for the situation get a bigger spotlight.

I don't know why you insist on making people think you're a terrible person, however that's all this post of yours accomplished. Good job.

Damn, I appreciate him being so thorough in anticipating his own demise.

We lost a decent person, should have been the Boeing upper executives instead.

Seems like bad business to turn away customers. Whether it's this or turning away a gay couple for wanting a cake made. If I owned a business I literally want your money and don't care for your politics.

The difference, of course, is that you don't choose your sexuality and you do choose your politics.

Not a good look to try and equate the 2.
