Not necessarily acoustic, but good slow songs

[braaaaaaaapp]

you guys know what im talking about... the 1 song on every cd that just slows the entire cd down. Doesnt necessarily have to strictly acoustic like the other post, but just mellow songs from anything like Hold My Heart-Letter Kills to On My Own -The Used to Amtrak is for Lovers-Houston Calls. I like the ones that are catchy.

[xgloryxfadesx27]

Slow songs...

Me vs. Maradona vs. Elvis-Brand New
They Looked Like Strong Hands-Bayside
Fuck You Aurora-Alkaline Trio
Smoke-Alkaline Trio
Dark Blue-Jack's Mannequin

There's a few good ones.
