soft vs hard contrast music thread

Exactly as the title says. Anything soft, timid, whimsical, sensually whispering songs, to things that go boom! Loud, in-your-face grit, either done in an over-exaggerated style, or sewn together from the scrap's of someone's shattered dreams.

I'll start, but you add. Enjoy!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1ZiUi747uA WRATH OF GOD // CC (Not sure which side of the dark/light soft/hard contrast this song symbolizes, so I'll go with both. This song very well showcases the magic of phased-out electroclash juxtaposed with Alice's miles-high fallen-angel-esque voice) (also that description was terrible, I'm very sleep-deprived at the moment but also I can never find a way to describe what Crystal Castles' music is like)

Strange Fruit by Billie Holiday is one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard... There's versions of it on Youtube that shows people being lynched ... At this time in history it was such a courageous song for her to sing
