Mr. SATURN Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I need an Epic Love song, preferably one that ends on a good note. A ballad displaying heartbreak, and eventual happiness would be really nice. I can't currently think of any good ones, but I'd appreciate some help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indrik Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 No clue if this is even remotely close, but: http://www.lobitlandscapes.org/label/epiclovesongs.txt Most songs have a central theme, and in the case of songs dealing with love it's either about being in love (currently or unrequitedly), or heartbroken. Most don't go through a narrative where it starts out with one and ends on something else. You can't develop that without some form of narrative since your lyrics are generally based around the theme you start on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Why is Johnny Cash on that list? The only one that comes to mind to me so far is Sonata Arctica - My Selene, although I'm sure there're others. Not many love songs have an epic feel about them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. SATURN Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 Well, it's not entirely true that you can't develop a changing theme or narrative regarding feelings, for instance- I heard a song on the radio the other day going through a man's dirty divorce and heartbreak, but ending with him finding another woman and falling in love again. That's a change. Also Epic may have been a poor choice in words, but I mean something slightly more than a guitar and a piano. I want some emotion in it.

entropicdecay Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Drinking Song - Rob Dougan There's Only Me - Rob Dougan Furious Angels - Rob Dougan Nothing At All - Rob Dougan Speed Me Towards Death - Rob Dougan Pollyanna (I Believe in You) - Catherine Warwick (not quite about heartbreak, but I like it) You're Not Here - Melissa Williamson (aka Mary Elizabeth McGlynn) Rob D's Drinking Song is probably your best bet.

Jimmy Jazz Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Led Zeppelin - Dazed And Confused? Doesn't end on a good note, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealFolkBlues Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 NIN-We're In This Together Dave Matthews Band-The Space Between & Crash Into Me Red Hot Chili Peppers-Universally Speaking By epic, do you mean with a narrative, or with an epic feel, like a eight minute long rock ballad or something?

SwordBreaker Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Just discovered this REALLY awesome song that somewhat fits your description. "Carnival of Rust" by Poets of the Fall I'm addicted to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citris Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Most of these are more symbolic\emotionally evoking rather than storytelling, but these are the ones I listen to most. I'm linking the lyrics: Led Zeppelin - The Rain Song. Not very epic, but very emotional. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. This is mine and my fiance's song. Tool - Parabol\Parabola. Two songs that flow into each other. The first is the slow intro, the second is very epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLiterate Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Drinking Song - Rob Dougan Lizz, why do you continue to win so hard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporknight Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 ...or with an epic feel, like a eight minute long rock ballad or something? If that is indeed what you're looking for, I would vote for Ghost Love Score by Nightwish. Gotta love the 10 minute long orchestral rock opera shizznits.
