Share MYSTICAL, HAUNTING songs

Solid Air by John Martyn

or almost anything off of this record album 

Florence and the Machine : Cosmic Love

Wow, a whole lot of stuff already listed, a great deal of which I wholeheartedly agree with!  Many albums that I might have chosen a different song from as the most representative, but an all around list of great tunes.  I would add:

Renaissance:

• The Sisters, from Novella
• Ocean Gypsy, from Scherazade and Other Stories

Joan Baez, In The Sun, from the soundtrack to Silent Running

Steeleye Span, Let Her Go Down, on Portfolio

And for a variation on the Haunting theme, every album from Nox Arcana. Music particularly suited for long technical doc/data review sessions!

On The Nature of Daylight - Richter

Ghost in This House - Alison Krauss

I can think of a few albums off the top of my head. Airbag "Identity" and Roxy Music's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th albums.

Classically speaking - Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. I hope to hear this playing when I die, on my ascent into the next world.

The above post is a very interesting one in two lines, i think people MUST explain WHY the song is haunting like did the above poster by the reaction of his heart....

And more than one or two songs without explanation make this list in the last pages useless... Who will take the time to try all that ? Not me....

But with a few words explaining why it can be taken seriously...I suggest only one song and explaining why...

i dont bother myself with a list so numerous that it reflected limited taste mostly and not so much an astounding experience... By definition astrounding experience and haunting one are rare and precious...

i suggested only one songs album unique and explained why...

I like very much the idea of this thread but posting a list of pop songs or rock songs in a truckload without a word for each reflect anything save "haunting" it reflect the influence of Pop or rock music thats all...

Then call the thread "pop and rock successes billboard"...

Try Jazz, try classical, try chinese, try Indian, try Persian, try african, try.....

This is the reason why i never suggested Bob Dylan Or Simon and Garfunkel....Nobody will learn anything save my taste in very well known songs or less known one  in commercial music billboard...

Ok i apologize and perhaps will wait and start a new thread ....

My dear friend mahgister, the OP used just four words of what he wanted to be posted. Those words are: SHARE, MYSTICAL, HAUNTING, SONGS. Not just HAUNTING. And yes haunting can mean more to some than just the negative connotations we see on television that are to just scare us.

The word HAUNTING can also mean to be something beautiful: poignant and evocative; difficult to ignore or forget. "the melodies were elaborate and of haunting beauty" and not just something that gives one no peace.

In the SONG I’m SHARING to the readers and more importantly listeners here, also has a MYSTICAL or shall I say transcendental experience I’ve always got when I hear it, and want to share this form of self meditation with you all.

This song needs no introduction...

thanks your posts illustrated my points:

Two songs only with your feeling and some explanation "why"...
