Absolutely! I had wondered about this one instead . . a real hair raise/ shivers track esp. given the real context.prelude4ws said:

Not a winner, but worth a mention as there's just something about this song that catches me.

That whole album is amazing, all the songs could be in this thread.

Cherry Ghost - People Help The People

I like these suggestions:
Tom Waits - On The Nickel.
Paul Weller - You Do Something To Me
Beautiful South - Bell Bottomed Tear
Cowboy Junkies - Misguided Angel, Mining For Gold
If we're including classical music, there's too much to choose from, but this springs to mind;
Purcell When I am laid in earth ("Dido's Lament")

Can't find a decent video of it but the acoustic version of "Love-Less" by Paul Weller from the Days Of Speed album is a great track.
As is this version of Wings Of Speed..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMoFzC6gEpQ
More Carleen Anderson, this time a live version of "Leopards In The Temple"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-WjM2gNfo4
Noel Gallagher, "Talk Tonight"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuX6km1pnag
Ocean Colour Scene, "Outside Of A Circle"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ4diFGDtcY
Apparently how the song was originally written before being re-worked for the Moseley Shoals album.
OCS again, "Charlie Brown Says"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODZ_eTpmGl8
Love the line "Five O clock shoes full of snow".

Haunting if not, quite, beautiful, but very moving:
'My God Betrays' by Cherry Ghost from 'Beyond This Burning Shoreline'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGwAjjLRwxY&fea...
And on a similar note, 'Agony' from 'Eels'
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyPx-d0zEz0
Haunting because of the lyrics (and the context that led to them), as someone says on the posts "depression set to music"!
