Songs that gave you delayed feels?

[xI Jonathan Ix]

Name a song that you heard a bunch of times before the feeling REALLY hit you.

For example, I must’ve heard Dobie Gray’s “Drift Away” hundreds of times before I was in the right mood to actually let the song hit my heart. Now it’s a favorite song of mine.

Not too many songs really grow on me if I don't care for it at first. But Duran Duran's 'A View to a Kill' is one that I ended up liking after hearing it multiple times.

What happens to me with songs like Drift Away is that I really don't appreciate them until I set down and learn the bass part.

^This. Happens that way for me at times. Listening to certain songs may do nothing for me but playing that song makes it interesting.

As a 40 year diehard Rush fan, I have and do listen to their entire catalog. Like a lot of people, I got the fever starting w/Moving Pictures and ESL. I enthusiastically embraced everything through Signals. I still purchased every subsequent new album and found them to be enjoyable, but many of the songs didn't move me as much as their older work. It wasn't until the late 90's/early 2000's when they began adding material from the late 80's/ mid 90's live that I truly "got it". Seeing and hearing the complexity of these songs live made me want to revisit those albums. I was a little surprised that several songs from that era have become some of my very favorites. Between the Wheels, Hold Your Fire, Mission, Middletown Dreams, Manhattan Project, etc have come to have the same emotional hook that their "good songs" have.
