Anyone know of some good acoustic/slow alternative rock songs?!


Question: Anyone know of some good acoustic/slow alternative rock songs!?
Im looking for some sad break up love songs either acoustic or slow alternative rock songs!. those kid of songs that you can really relate to and will listen to over and over and hit you the same as like it was the first time you listen to it, not those crappy ones that you download and think its good but dont listen to it much!. i dont really like screamo or rap or anything like those kinds!. so can you help me!?!?!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
I know the kind you mean when you say it hits you the same every time, and this is what I would recommend if you're after something slow/quiet:

Snuff by Slipknot is really passionate and meaningful, and it's about breaking up with someone!. Forget any ideas you may have about how Slipknot sound, though - this is different!. Slow and soulful!.

Save Us by Cartel has got some real feeling behind it!.

Was It a Dream!? by 30 Seconds to Mars can get a bit teary if you're in the right mood for it!.

Hello or My Immortal by Evanescence also fit the bill quite well if you're looking for something a bit more mellow!.

also try Vices by Dead Poetic (the song not the album)!.

I know you said you don't like screamo but Rough Hands by Alexisonfire has got some real raw emotion behind it if you're in a passionate mood!.

That's all I can think of at the moment, hope it helps :)Www@Enter-QA@Com

"Withered"

Because it’s two in the morning and I’m feeling so ugly!.
I’ve got this chip on my shoulder, keep my eyes spread wide open!.

If you’d let me go!.
Then I’d walk myself into the room, yes I will!.
Then I’d lay right down and daydream of you, yes I will!.
With this soul tell smile I’ll blow a kiss to you, yes I will!.
Then I’d lay right down and daydream of you!.

It seems the sun is still sleeping and I’m feeling so lonely!.
There’s a girl in my bedroom but don’t you worry she’s not breathing!.

If you’d let me go!.
Then I’d walk myself into the room, yes I will!.
Then I’d lay right down and daydream of you, yes I will!.
With this soul tell smile I’ll blow a kiss to you, yes I will!.
Then I’d lay right down and daydream of you!.

And though your soul’s been withered and wisped away!.
My grey matter brings me home!.
And though your soul’s been withered and wisped away!.
Your grey matter brings you home!.

If you’d let me go!.
Then I’d walk myself into the room, yes I will!.
Then I’d lay right down and daydream of you, yes I will!.
With this soul tell smile I’ll blow a kiss to you, yes I will!.
Then I’d lay right down and daydream of you!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
