I May Know The Word / Natalie Merchant
Share MYSTICAL, HAUNTING songs
I want to thank everyone who contributed to my last request for albums where all the songs were good. I find myself going back to my favorite genre of music (if it is such a thing), Mysterious, Mystical, Haunting type songs. My ‘Best of Mysterious’ CD’s have a lot of playtime.
I don’t want to overwhelm everyone right off the bat, so here are a few from my playlist:

I don't think anyone has a list of well written haunting/sad songs as Elton John, albeit they're not his most popular songs - but they're some of his favorites. He admits he prefers sad music and he certainly included alot on his albums that many might not have heard. To me, this is his best work. I could have included more. But this shows elton the artist as opposed to the entertainer. Check out my quick list below.
Elton John list of darker, haunting, and inspired works Ticking (long ballad, really show's Elton's ability) The Last Song The Blues Never Fade Away Sixty Years On The Greatest Discovery Tonight Belfast Original Sin My Elusive Drug The New Fever Waltz |
God this is fun, thanks guys and gals...continuing on: PART 2 From the Chess soundtrack (a musical) ‘Anthem’. This one gets me every time, that voice on the last few notes! Elf power “The spider and the fly’ & ‘Back to the web’

flrunBut when Sarah McLachlan does those ASPCA commercials, even the dogs think she's being a little heavy handed (credit to Jim Gaffigan). |
Winnardt, Ha, can't argue with that... I get it but they play the crap out of those commercials. I mean when comedy shows parody them you know its to much. Now its polar bears, elephants... Any ways fortunately the commercial hasn't turned me off her music, she has an amazing voice and the lyrics and music to go with it. |
