Danny Kirwan's songs...
 
Woman of a 1000 Years
Sands of Time
Dust

Danny's songs are amongst some of my fave FM songs of all time. Kind of freaky, but he reminds me of Stevie and Lindsey in one body. You've got the mysterious, dreamy side of Stevie mixed with the guitar virtuoso of Lindsey and wah-la...Danny Kirwan. I love his FM and solo music. :thumbsup:

So many Nicks songs from the first three album she was involved with had those mystical, I find those haunting because of her smoky voice (in it's prime in the 70s) and ambitious songwriting; Rhiannon, Gold Dust Woman, Silver Springs (haunting in that she sounds like she's going to hunt down and kill ya, man!), Sisters of the Moon, and more than any Sara

Future Games
I'm So Afraid
Over and Over is just haunting in it's beauty, production, the swelling of the background vocals, oh man!
Brown Eyes
Welcome to the Room Sara - I don't care what the others say
Woman of a Thousand Years

most redundant, but still thought I'd share my choices

I'd have to say Brown Eyes. It is pretty darn eerie and haunting, if you ask me. :shocked:

Empire State haunts me. I wake up in a sweat in the middle of the night with it playing in my head. Ding ding ding ding ding ding diddle diddle ding ding ding New York...aaaaaarrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhh


Um, Green Manalishi, Sisters of the Moon, Gold Dust Woman, I'm So Afraid.
I'd throw in Not That Funny. Perhaps not strictly haunting but I do find it creepy in the same way clowns are creepy. Not That Funny could have been on a soundtrack for The Shining or something.

I just about died laughing when I read that!

Straight Back is haunting.

If my memory is correct I believe Green Manalishi is about the devil.

The live version of Bermuda Triangle always freaked me out when Bob Welsh would speak in the middle of the song and talk about the Bermuda Triangle. I don't know why but his talking about the triangle spooked me big time when I first heard this at 14.

Future Games has a similar vibe of Bermuda Triangle.

Illume is so raw musically and lyrically. Lindsey did a great job! I only wish they played it live in New York at least once.

These songs have already been mentioned but I also would add I'm So Afraid. IMHO it has a haunting effect lyrically and musically.

If you strip the singing... Oh Daddy has a very haunting sound

Yes, along those lines. I think it's about money being the work of the devil. I believe it was influenced by a nightmare about a green dog.

Manalishi, so afraid.

Macfanforever 04-19-2016 08:41 PM

Good pick Michele
Behind the Mask is a dark song and so opposite of a typical Christine song. Its rare in her catalog for darkness or anger. But she does spew once in a while like Bad Loser and Liar :eek:
