Urge Overkill - Girl, You'll be a Woman Soon

Great song. I saw them back in October at their reunion concert.. they didn't do this song

[andye30m3]

Some great songs so far,

I'm going to add Aqualung - Strange and Beautiful

Just posting in this for later as my phone won't let me click "bookmark".


Keep them coming, this thread is brilliant and i'm only a quarter of the way down page 1 up to now.

Actually... i might be biased due to being a huge fan, but while i think about it (i listened to it earlier):

Elbow and The BBC Concert Orchestra - The Loneliness Of A Tower Crane Driver

Nine Inch Nails - Leaving Hope

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-GwX5x1cio

A haunting instrumental from the end of the 'Still' CD which came with Live: And All That Could Have Been.

One of my most listened too albums recently.

Brilliant. I love Kristin Hersh, and everything she's done. Good lord, there's even a picture of her on my fridge, it must be love.

Tori Amos: "Silent all these years" is a personal favourite.

Agreed - This one gives me goose bumps at 3m 40s

On my own in the car, blasting this bit, rewind, play again, rewind, play again....

tom mcrae - I ain't scared of lightning.

First time I heard this was in the car. Had to pull over and stop as I was welling up.

Fleetwood Mac - Oh Well

Not the first bit (though that is great), but the melody from 2:20 onwards.

[vit4]

I've got a couple that spring to mind. David Sides' version of Stop and Stare. Personally, transformed it into a different song for me

Ok, slightly unusual one. But I remember seeing the episode of Doctor Who that this is in and being stunned by the beautiful simplicity yet unusual eeriness of the music. I appreciate from a musical point of view it isn't the most technically accomplished or whatever, but it's my choice

Murray Gold - Doomsday Theme

Either Versionm of Fields Of Gold

Man Of The World. Quite personal, but haunting nonetheless.

Johnson - Crossroads. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd60nI4sa9A
Covered infinite times but never bettered, maybe its partly the legend that goes with him and his music but there is genius here, even Clapton thinks so: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETELORdwmJA

Missy Higgins - The River. If you aren't paying attention its quite "up", jolly even.. but if you listen its not such a great story..

ETA: Snow Patrol & Martha Wainwright - Set fire to the third bar

Foo Fighters - Walking After You: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rUVEhEt3Ng

[robsa]

For me, this is definitely a haunting and beautiful song:

The Smiths - last night I dreamt somebody loved me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH9DoxqKAyA

And Johnny Cash's version of Trent Reznor's 'Hurt'...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o22eIJDtKho

And 'Amoreuse' by Kiki Dee is beautiful too...
