Default Game: Name this Song

I am totally in love with a song right now, and thinking about it gave me an idea for a new forum game. This game works just as any other, you post answering a question, and then presenting a new question.

Since song lyrics can be easily googled, I ask that each poster tells us whether or not they'd heard the song before they searched for it, and if not (assuming they listened to it) whether or not they liked it. Songs can be from any genre, but please keep it to things you actually like, to avoid people posting garbage just for a challenge.

I'll start out with my section of lyrics, good luck and have fun!

Quote:
The turning of the stars brings a time when my secret can give you immortality.
But when that time has passed, those fleeting minutes gone the secret is worthless...
Until once again the stars unlock it's, power.
I can give you power.
I can give you immortality.

Please keep posts in the following format:

Answer: Artist - Title
Knowledge: I have heard this song before -or- I had not heard it, but I listened to it, and liked (did not like) it.

New section of lyrics:

That's why they call it a challenge. I'm not going to make it rediculously easy, but if no one gets it I may drop hints.

DJ Fresh - The Immortal?

Knowledge - Hadn't heard it before, and I'm not sure that I got the song right...if its the one, I'm still not sure what I think about it yet. Very talented, I'd like to hear more if you have suggestions.

Lyrics (just in case I got it right, otherwise ignore)

Quote:
In the worst of all your fears
You have come so far to hear
That in turn they've showered your name
As the laughing stock
Now by fire you must hang
As my word holds course through vein
You will walk to the end of days
I'll gravitate towards you
I will, in the now, hate you
These days are numbered
This close encounter
To the heartland, through the madness

very good SnipiousMax, that track is fairly similar to anything you'll find on the Breakbeat Kaos label, the genre is Drum & Bass. You can check here for samples of other Breakbeat Kaos stuff, that's actually where I bought the record (although DR.c mislabels it as "Fresh BC" instead of "DJ Fresh," I'm not sure why.

Also if you'd like to start getting more into DnB and you like the epic hard stuff (breakbeat kaos-ish) you'll definately want to check out Pendulum. Their recent artist album Hold Your Colour was a monster hit, nearly every track I've heard by them has been amazing. As far as DJ's go (not producers, ) DJ Hype is also amazing. His recent mix cd Drum and Bass Essentials has been in my cd player for months, everything on the 3cd set is unbelievable, not to mention his mixing and scratching talent.


Ok fine I admit it, my whole reason for making this game was to see if I could get some gwg users more into music that I like, but I suppose that's the beauty of this game, as now Snipious has the same opportunity, for whatever his type of music may be.

Googling the lyrics is allowed, and encouraged. The idea is to get you to listen to something you never have before, possibly turning you on to something you didn't know existed, hense the "knowledge" section of the response.

The group's lyrics are based on an anime style Science Fiction, which is being written by the Group's front man.

Knowledge: Never heard the song before, listening to it now. It's ok, I like different styles of music though.

Heres my lyrics if I got it right

Bright antennae bristle
With the energy
Emotional feedback
On a timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price ---
Almost free...

Knowledge never heard of it.

Here's mine.

can't you see that you're smothering me
holding too tightly
afraid to lose control
cause everything that you thought i would be
has fallen apart right in front of you

Numb -- Linkin Park

Knowledge: On my playlist that I listen to almost every day.

Quote:
I don't wanna wake up today
Cuz everyday's the same
And I've been waiting so long
For things to change
I'm sick of this town
Sick of my job
Sick of my friends
Cuz everyone's jaded
Sick of this place
I wanna break free
I'm so frustrated

Name: Jump -- Simple Plan

Knowledge: GREAT song. Don't own it, but I've heard it many times.

Lyrics:


Quote:
and i know i wasn't right,
but it felt so good.
and your mother didn't mind,
like i thought she would.
and that rem song was playing
in my mind.
and three and a half minutes
felt like a lifetime
Great song, Great band. One of my favorites.

Oh and about Coheed and Cambria...Try listening to 'The Suffering'. That's the song that sold me on the band. I really like the bass work in their music, but the guitarists are phenomenal, and the drummer is very talented. Welcome Home, and Ten Speed are also great songs. I've not delved into their earlier stuff yet.... I like them, cause they kinda remind me of the dark side of Rush.

As the moon and the stars call the order
Inside my tides dance the ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns to clay
I don't ask that my field's full of clover
I don't moan at opportunity's door
And if you ask my advice, take it slower
Then your story'd be your finest reward.
