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:

Would welcome your contributions. Thanks in advance.  Corey

While My Guitar Gently Weeps By The Beatles

Awesome lists. Agree with many of these, and others I have never heard of them. I will have to do some studying!

I will have to compile some of mine, but real quick, I would add Mazzy Star. IMO, quite a few "haunting" moody songs. Also, their singer Hope Sandoval solo works. A few examples from their 1993 "So Tonight That I May See" album:

  • Fade Into You
  • Mary of Silence
  • Into Dust
  • So Tonight That I May See

Throw them on late at night... Don’t forget to freshen up that nightcap...
