A fellow (but much more talented Cork man). Mick Flannery 'Boston' just fabulous.

Forgot about this.... Same man... 'Goodbye' arguably more haunting.

Jamie Cullum's version of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ql3pBSTl58s is quite lovely I think.

Probably the most important song in my life. Alongside a myriad of Queen songs.

Kate Bush. The man with the child in his eyes.

I've spent ages going through this thread. I love it when metal bands slow down and do introspective. Here are my favourites (off the top of my head - there are lots more):


Nightwish - Ghost Love Score
https://youtu.be/4V_eoR6r1Tw

Black Sabbath - Solitude
https://youtu.be/C1JQ1NseBl8

Disturbed - the sound of silence
https://youtu.be/u9Dg-g7t2l

Iron Maiden - The legacy
https://youtu.be/2Hj8cnV5UbQ

Deep Purple - Gypsy
https://youtu.be/Pjy9MUjrjdI

Iced Earth - a question of heaven

This song, along with that youtube clip of F1 in the very bad days has to be the winner.

For me, the words hauntingly beautiful apply to the two songs combined with their videos:

The Pretty Reckless - House On A Hill (Official Music Video)

Seether - The Gift
