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

No one remembers Timothy by The Buoys? 

My stomach was full as it could be
And nobody ever got around
To finding Timothy

Wonder if anyone ever wrote a song about the Donner Party?

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

 

The music video, although quite dated, is equally good/haunting.  Enjoy, I think..

Sarah Ann McLachlan
Angel - That is a haunting song. So is the movie it was in, City Of Angels
Fallen
Stupid
Building A Mystery

Listen to any of these without getting chocked up, not gonna happen. Same with City Of Angels, John Wayne would shed a tear watching that movie.
