Thread: tell me some good songs

I'm a dancer and my favorite dance is lyrical. most lyrical dances are to slow songs, and i'm always looking for pretty slow songs to do a lyrical dance to that aren't very popular. I'm looking for a song with words that have meaning to it. a song that kind of tells a story. in lyrical the point is to tell a story through motions and the words to the song. so tell me some pretty slow songs that you know please?! and if u want you can ask me about dance or anything.

Well what genre of music?

basically any genre of music. nothing like hard rock, something that's like easy listening. umm something with good lyrics.

"Black" - Pearl Jam
"No Surprises" - Radiohead
"Place to Be" - Nick Drake
"Porcelain" - Red Hot Chili Peppers
"Lullabye" - Billy Joel
"Mr. Jones" - Counting Crows
"Slow Cheetah" - Red Hot Chili Peppers
"And So it Goes" -Billy Joel

Many Regina Spektor songs are great for what I think you're looking for

"Climbing up the Walls" -Radiohead
"My Immortal" -Evanescence
"Indifference" - Pearl Jam
"Oceans" - Pearl Jam


I know I don't have very much variety here...I'm only reading off what's on my old laptop's iTunes. Hope this gives you something to work with though...

You mentioned all those Pearl Jam songs and forgot "Alive" by Pearl Jam, i'm ashamed

Alive is a great song i must admit, listen to it because its a real good one

Yeah Alive is a great song. There are many other classic pearl jam songs i didn't mention because she said nothing too hard rock-ish. I wasn't sure if alive was appropriate dance music

In which case I'd mention "Daughter" and a few others from Vs and Ten. Those are my fav albums
