Trance Music Forums

So, for the last few days i'm revisiting my trance collection, and i came up with few tunes that ended up ripping me apart inside after i'm listening to them. NO, I DID NOT BREAK UP nor i have gambling problems, but there are few tracks that make me feel down after i give them a listen or two. The one im actually listening atm is Amex vs Saint Rush - Distant Worlds (Original Mix). This track is a pure emotional stormer, uplfiting yet emotional, the synths are perfect, but in a truely sad way, i love this track.
Another track that comes up in my mind is Markus Schulz feat Departure - Cause You Know (Mike EFEX Dub Mix). Dont know is this because of the haunting vocals used in the back (Is this the end of everything...) of it's the full lyrics of the original version which are mindblowing as well. Or maybe the awesome synths used in the breakdown.Amazing track...
Few more tracks that i find sad, if anyone of you has them please share opinions, or im going mad  :/

Afternova - By Your Side
Above & Beyond - Can't Sleep
The Doppler Effect - Beauty Hides in the Deep (The Blizzard Remix)  :<3:
Jorn van Deynhoven - Godspeed (Joshua Cunningham Remix)
Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren - Light The Skies
Dave 202 - Rain Against Her
Ilse de Lange - The Great Escape (Armin van Buuren remix)
Lolo - Teddybears Escape

Discuss, add tracks, opinions...

I'd say Andy Blueman's Time to Rest is an emotional track.

there are many trance songs that make me feel like that! its one of the reasons i love trance music, the songs are so emotional
1)CRAWLING - Sunlounger Feat. Zara Dj Shah Rework(am i getting anooying with this? hehe)
2)till the sky falls down- Dash Berlin
3)sweet misery- Tiesto
4)the great escape- ilse de lange (Armin van Buuren remix)
oh and "light the skies" also is amazing Swaveto :)

I know exactly what you mean. I have a bad habit of sometimes reading the news (usually depressing) or looking at depressing pictures while listening to trance, which is more pronounced whenever I'm listening to those "emotional songs."

For a sample of what I mean (and I mean it when I say depressing):
http://www.american-pictures.com

Darren Tate - Prayer For A God
Metropolitan - Octagen & M.I.D.O.R.
Ferry Corsten - Galaxia
Super8 & Tab - Elektra (the dark progressive beats in the background and celestial sounds really paralyze me, but all move in flawless harmony)
Alt+F4 - Alt+F4 (especially the softer section in the middle just before the massive melody kicks in)
Armin Van Buuren - If U Should Go (John O''Callaghan Remix) (especially the opening minute with the instrumental)
Spectrum - Filo & Peri

One thing I can think of right now is Liebesschmerz by Schiller.

I'll add some more tracks later, but one of the most emotional tracks for me is Cellec - Love Of My Life (Kamil Polner & Sender Remix)

One example of a sad track is Armin Van Buuren - Burned With Desire

Yeah, I know how you all feel as well. Trance has been the only thing that has actually allowed me to get a clear overview of things in my own life and how to deal with them. Amazing what this stuff can do to a person.  8-) Anyway, here are some I can think of right now:

Armin van Buuren feat. Ray Wilson - Yet Another Day
Ferry Corsten - Freefalling
Kamera - Lies (Markus Schulz Remix)
Delerium - Fleeting Instant
Paul van Dyk feat. Ashley Tomberlin - New York City
Armin van Buuren feat. Justine Suissa - Simple Things
Oceanlab - Satellite

Above & Beyond - Hope
:D

Yeah I think Hope is a good example. It's melody is quite emotional! Home is another good emotional track from them IMO as is Alone Tonight.

Indeed!

I actually get tears in my eyes every time i see Tiesto playing love comes again live in Amsterdam DVD.  At the break, the crowd all sings along and i guess i get sooky because every one is feeling and thinking and saying the same thing at once and it gives me goosebumps!  Not just that but i put myself in the big T;s place and can only imagine how emotional it is for him to have thousands of people sharing the experience of something he loves with him.

Burned with desire is a great example also DJRAnz and some others i think are on that level are:

You're not alone - ATB
Alone tonight - Above & beyond
Anthem - Nic Chagall remix

But of course it depends why it makes you emotional.  Some trance touches me on levels that are far from concious emotion, more so emotion because it is so beautiful, corny aint it but you guys understand i am sure :)

oh and of course, the last track to give me tears in my eyes is the new track by Tiesto Ten Seconds Before Sunrise because it is one of the most melodic and beautiful tunes i have heard in a long long time :)

Great picks buddy.

Ilse de Lange - The Great Escape (Armin van Buuren Remix) is by far my favorite one from all the tunes you posted. Too bad it was never released (as far as I know).

"Ten Seconds Before Sunrise", yes it really is emotional ..and there is also "mind of the wonderful" - Blank & Jones..i think that trance songs have the most expressive lyric of all!

These are some emotional tracks that have really gotten me over the past month.

Markus Schulz - Cause U Know (Nic Chagall remix)
Above & Beyond - Good For Me
DJ Shog - Feel Me Through the Radio (Duderstadt Remix)

to vera:  I agree, trance has the most expressive lyrics.  I really enjoy their songwriting on many tracks, they're very deep.

avb - the sound of goodbye.

If anyone's heard the new OceanLab track dubbed "Miracle" that's a pretty sad track too.

Armin van Buuren - Who Is Watching (Tonodepth Remix)
Ferry Corsten feat. Howard Jones - Into The Dark
Markus Schulz feat. Dauby - Perfect

hey guys there were a couple of tracks mentioned that i hadnt heard so i am going to try and find a couple of them, sounds bizarre but i love the emotional thing!  funny aint it!  hehe  Gotta agree with you Vera, Mind of the Wonderful, classic goosebumpy track :)

Yeah I have to agree that Mind of The Wonderful is an awesome track.

My choice would have to be Markus Schulz ft Anita Kelsey - Traveling Light

Edit; Also Markus Schulz ft Departure - Without You Near

Candida the Terk Dawn remix by Sean Tyas is defo another emotional track, certainly the breakdown anyway.

Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes

ferry corsten - holding on

Yes yes yes! I completly forgot about that one Cleo! What a great track!

Gouryella - Ligaya
William Orbit - Pavane Pour Une Infante Défunte (Ferry Corsten Remix)
Tiesto - Forever Today

There are more, but I don't have time to write a list, maybe I'll do it later.

Tiesto feat. Jes - Everything
Paul van Dyk & Giuseppe Ottaviani - Far Away
Armin van Buuren - Shivers (Rising Star Mix)

who could forget beautiful things andain........... or silence delerium :)

Yes! Silence is a great choice!

Armin van Buuren - Hymne

Trentemoller - Miss You (Lulu Rouge & Asger Baden remix) - the original track by Trentemoller has a breathtaking piano, but this remix and the new layers and moans added by Rouge and Baden are just perfect.I recommend this track to you all.
Young Parisians feat Ben Lost - Jump the next train  - lyrics are so great on this one, the vocal just matches it all, and the sad melody that comes in background gives it a 10/10 for this track.

Everything- Tiesto
Ecstasy- ATB
Jump the next train is amazing Swaveto :)

I also think the new Daniel Kandi remix of Fragile by Kiholm has quite an emotional melody.

For me, it's only one, and has been so for many many many many many years :

Lustral - Everytime

I just remembered another one

Above & Beyond - Nobody Knows Me (remix of the Madonna song)

Blank & Jones feat. Bobo - Perfect Silence (Roth Remix)
Trentemoller feat. Ane Trolle - Moan
Ferry Corsten - Beautiful

Janeiro (Solid Sessions)

+1 for Janeiro!

Here's a very new track, unreleased. 

Oceanlab - Miracle  (very emotional melodies and deep deep vocals and songwriting)

Solarstone feat JES - Like a waterfall...wonderful:)

-1 :p

I think this is very uplifting! :D

Has anyone heard DJ Shah - Over and Over? That's got some pretty damn emotional lyrics!

Do you have a link? ^^  I cant find it.

Armin van Buuren feat. Jaren - Unforgivable

Tiesto - Just Be

Kyo and albert -Always a fool,sonorous-last sunday,roger sanchez -another chance,tiesto-just be,giuseppe ottaviani -streamline,kirsty hawkshaw meets tenishia -outsiders,atb -black nights....

&

Late Night Alumni - Empty Streets (Seamus Haji & Paul Emmanuel Remix)

@ Ambi: Sorry bud but the only sample I have is the Acoustic Mix of Armada Lounge which I bought the other day. It'll be on Shah's new artist album though. :)

Anyone else think that Rank 1 - Airwave is an emotional track? I think it is.

Delerium - Innocente

Tiesto feat. BT - Love Comes Again. It has the emotional feel added to it perfectly, and it's like a roller coaster listening to it. Large impact, this one.

Ghost-Deepsky ft jes brieden :(
Atb-I wanna cry

You should listen to some happier tracks. :)

ATB - I Don't Wanna Stop

Darude - In The Darkness
George Acosta feat. Truth - The Other Side (Signalrunners Mix)

Hmmm....my personal faves would be :

Jonas Steur feat. Jennifer Rene - Fall to pieces
Tiesto Pres. Allure Feat. Julie Thompson - Somewhere Inside Of Me
Dj Shog feat. Ida - Be the one
Max Graham feat. Jessica Riddle - I know you're gone
Armin van Buuren - Hidden Logic pres. Luminary - Wasting
Cerf and Mitiska and Jaren - You never said

...and of course a lot of the ones you wrote from Andain, Above & Beyond , Delerium...
