I'll think of more later.

Oh End Of The Run definitely!! The spoken parts send chills down my spine.

I've never found Angels On The Balcony hauting as such, but it's by far the best track on Autoamerican

As well as Debbie's Wild Horses cover, I have a list now

• Fade Away And Radiate - Blondie
• As The World Falls Down - David Bowie
• (Don't Fear) The Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
• Wave - Patti Smith

And the ahh's at the beginning of Prove Your Love. So beautiful and lingering.

Hmmmm...I've always been partial to "T-Birds". Need to update my Blondie collection eventually...I still have the CD with NO bonus tracks. I see that they've added the long version of "Call Me" & "Rapture" to the album.

I really love those, AOTB is my favorite off Autoamerican.

Neko Case- Furnace Room Lullaby

Ever since watching the movie "The Gift", I have loved this song and film. So haunting.

[JWS]

Broken Wing - John Mayall

[LukeA]

I'll also add that I find the entire Lieutenant Kije suite (Prokofiev) rather haunting.

That's one of my best friend's favourite ever songs, it is a really hauntingly pretty piece.

I'd have to go with....

Zombie - The Cranberries

It's such a haunting and brilliant song, I've had it on repeat all day, I only discovered it last night

[Silver Springs]

Simon and Gardunkel - The Sound Of Silence
Stevie Nicks - Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You
Jane Siberry - Calling All Angels (I was listening to this song when I found out that my Grandma had died, so it's still kind of off limits for me)
Don Mclean - Vincent
Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind
R.E.M. - Sweetness Follows/Camera/Country Feedback
Tori Amos - Carbon
Annie Lennox - The Saddest Song I've Got
Billy Joel - Goodnight Saigon
Grant Lee Buffallo - Happiness
Elbow - Puncture Repair (Short but very moving)
The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work
Loudon Wainwright III - Dreaming
Iron And Wine - Naked As We Came
The Beatles - A Day In The Life
Sarah McLachlan - Full Of Grace/Hold On
Lindsey Buckingham - D.W. Suite (This one probably because I over analyse things way too much, and I know it's terrible but all I can think of when listening to the first part of the song is some kind of suicide pact)
Evanescence - Hello (I always felt like the shunned kid Amy Lee was singing about when I was at school)
Eurythmics - Sylvia/I Saved The World Today
Dave Matthews Band - Oh (Another over analasys, but to me he sounds like he's singing to somebody who's died whom he still feels is near to him)
Counting Crows - Black And Blue/Up All Night (Frankie Miller Goes To Hollywood)

Speaking of Evanescence, have you ever heard a commercially unreleased song called "Field of Innocence"? This is a really good song, and it's a shame it didn't end up on their debut album... it also has a very eerie production sense (and a cut above most independent releases of the day) and to stay on topic, a nice haunting melody!

Here it is:

Yeah. I remember coming across this years ago when I was a naughty child who downloaded music *slaps wrist*. I always thought it was a track from Origins that hadn't quite made the final cut. Some really good tracks of theirs never made it only an official album and that bugs me. October, Forgive Me and Goodnight being a couple that spring to mind. I wouldn't have minded hearing the studio versions of some of the songs they performed for the Anywhere But Home DVD, like Farther Away and Thoughtless. I'm sure they would have been interesting. Unless there have been studio versions and they completely passed me by lol.

The Final Cut-Pink Floyd

Actually that whole album

Yeah I think a lot of us were naughty children from that standpoint! Especially where unreleased songs were concerned...

A studio version of Farther Away was actually a b-side to the Bring Me To Life single:

Ooooo! *clickehs to listen*.

It doesn't really have the "pazazz" the live version had, but it's an interesting version of the song. It definitely has more of a metal/gothy style to it, which tends to turn me off of a couple of their earlier songs. Gah. I used to actually be a Goth once upon a time. It must be one of the oddest shifts ever, to go from Goth to fully fledged Hippie.
