Default 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.

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.

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!
