Haunting Songs
What are your favorite songs that seem "haunting" to you? This is, of course, up to interpretation, but I LOVE haunting music of any kind and wanted some suggestions.
Some examples: "Hurt" - Johnny Cash "Hey You" - Pink Floyd "Moonlight Sonata" - Beethoven "The Sounds of Silence" - Simon & Garfunkel "Wonderwall" - Ryan Adams "Comptine d'un Autre" - Yann Tiersen "Mad World" - Gary Jules "Caresse sur l'ocean" - Les Choristes "Nights in White Satin" - Moody Blues |
Why by Annie Lennox.
Streets of Philadelphia by the boss. I have to generally skip these when they come on randomly on the iPod. They reduce me to tears 9 times outta 10. |
A couple of songs that give me that vibe...
Dylan and Hendrix's versions of All Along The Watchtower. Jimi Hendrix's Hey Joe. |
Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night?
Rammstein - Mutter Evanescence - Hello Alice in Chains - Down in a Hole The Doors - The End Billie Holiday - Gloomy Sunday Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah Johnny Cash - Hurt Lucinda Williams - Pineola Enya - May It Be Annie Lennox - Into the West Dave Matthews - Some Devil (I usually can't stand him but this song is greatness) |
My list is completely manic... but then again, so am I! :p
Sting: Shape Of My Heart Moody Blues: Nights In White Satin Al Stewart: Year Of The Cat Fleetwood Mac: Prove Your Love Sublime: Summertime Eagles: Pretty Maids All In A Row Amy Winehouse: Wake Up Alone Doors: Crystal Ship Sheryl Crow: Redemption Day Madonna: Inside Of Me Helen Stellar: Io Brookville: Life In The Shade Joseph Arthur: A Smile That Explodes Home Video: Pidpunk Melody Gardot: Deep Within The Corners Of My Mind Dire Straits: Brothers In Arms There's only like 10 million I'm forgetting... :D |
You guys are awesome. I'm on a downloading rampage.
PS Jeff Buckley is one of the best things to happen to music ever. If any of you don't have Grace, fix that NOW. |
Debbie Harry's cover of Wild Horses

Hide and Seek-Imogen Heap.

Oh, I forgot-- "My Skin" by Natalie Merchant.
"You better shut your mouth and hold your breath You kiss me now and you catch your death" |
Wild Horses-The Sundays
Alone Again Naturally-Gilbert O'Sullivan Boadicea-Enya Diamonds and Rust-Joan Baez On Earth-The Sundays Send In The Clowns-Judy Collins Vincent-Don McLean Castles in The Air- Don McLean The Lady in Red-Chris DeBurgh Haunted-The Moody Blues Vincent merits special attention Danielle. This, to me, is the greatest piece of rock and roll poetry ever written. I think you will find this song truly stunning! |
