What is the most emotionally profound song you have ever heard?

Adam Sandler

but that's literally shitty beat poetry

>>68554231
>beat poetry
Yeah and Biggie Smalls wrote shitty sonnets

>>68554231
it's too anachronistic to be Beat, he never really fit in with the Beats while he was just a poet even if he had jazz recitals so he made music to fool retarded rock children into thinking that he's good

>>68554201
Dustin Hoffman

Even though Leonard Cohen hated the "overproduction" of that album I think it fits the music tastefully and perfectly

imagine how boring it would be with just vocals and acoustic guitar

it should have been more than that but it really didn't need to have soaring grand string sections, it could have done with just some piano and double bass

Robert Johnson,

>And I followed her to the station, with her suitcase in my hand, x2
>Well, it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell, when all your love's in vain,
>All my love's in vain.

>When the train rolled up to the station, I looked her in the eye, x2
>Well, I was lonesome, I felt so lonesome, and I could not help but cry.
>All my love's in vain.

>When the train, it left the station, there was two lights on behind, x2
>Well, the blue light was my blues, and the red light was my mind.
>All my love's in vain.

>Uumh, Willie Mae, Uumh, Willie Mae, Uumh uumh, all my love's in vain.

Townes Van Zandt - Marie

>Marie she didn't wake up this morning
>She didn't even try
>She just rolled over and went to heaven
>My little boy safe inside
>I laid them in the sun where somebody'd find them
>Caught a Chesapeak on the fly
>Marie will know I'm headed south
>So's to meet me by and by

I always thought that the grand strings came off more as ironic juxtaposition and counterpoint to Cohen's melancholy poetics

Otherwise Cohen sounds too drab and sad
