Melf	posted 14-Jul-2007 6:47pm Yeah: The acoustic version of Roscoe by Midlake (one of my favourite songs ever) Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Storm, or East Hastings Interzone by Joy Division Muscle Museum by Muse When You Sleep by My Bloody Valentine Because I Want You by Placebo Hope by R.E.M Half of Radiohead's Hail to the Thief album , and most of the My Iron Lung E.P The Chili's I Could Die For You, and most of the One Hot Minute album The Smith's entire back catalogue... j/k
RainingFeathers	posted 14-Jul-2007 7:10pm Yes, this is a term I often use to describe music. To me, a haunting song is one that is slow, beautiful, and often dark and gives me goosebumps the entire time it plays. I know I've heard many songs that fit this description, but the only two that immediately come to mind are Still by The Foo Fighters and Space-Dye Vest by Dream Theater.
gambler	posted 14-Jul-2007 7:30pm I came up with this survey, because I was listening to Sadness by Enigma, which in 1991 was a surprise No.1 in the UK for 1 week it also featured in a few movies (Single white Female) and ads I think .... The other singer is pretty much anything by "enya" and before that her family's group "Clannad" ........ Irish/gaelic music
Amanda	posted 14-Jul-2007 8:38pm I vaguely remember thinking this about songs in the past, but I can't think of any examples right now.
Enigma	posted 14-Jul-2007 10:28pm Yes there is. It is a song by Crystal Gayle and someone... Art Bell used to play it on his show all the time as bumper music. I don't remember the name of the song and I just tried to look for it. Ardra or something... I've looked for it before and couldn't find it then either. Truly haunting.

Strider	posted 14-Jul-2007 10:56pm The Phantom of the Opera from the musical of the same name.
cabinfever	posted 15-Jul-2007 2:00am Yeah... every time I hear it, it almost makes me cry thinking about my child. That recent Kenny Chesney song "Who'd You Be Today". Also Stevie Nicks' song "Landslide". "Lightning Crashes" by Live. A lot of Celtic music. There is a song by a Native American group called "Wishes for Peace and Happiness". "How Much I Feel" by Ambrosia.
Sparky5115	posted 15-Jul-2007 5:56am Just about anything by the band Evanescence is quite haunting.
bill	posted 15-Jul-2007 9:00am Hurt song by Johnny Cash
Gomezy3k	posted 15-Jul-2007 9:40am Almost anything by Midnight Syndicate... Some very haunting music there
ElvisFan67	posted 15-Jul-2007 12:45pm "Last Kiss" by J. Frank Wilson and the Cavaliers

JessicaWoman99	(reply to Strider) posted 15-Jul-2007 1:30pm > The Phantom of the Opera from the musical of the same name. I have seen Phantom of the Opera and I bought the DVD it is good
CarlHalling	posted 15-Jul-2007 4:27pm Yes, many, far, far too many to mention. If I were to single out just one though, I might make mention of "Clair de Lune" from Debussy's "Suite Bergamesque"...or perhaps "A Lark Ascending" by Vaughan Williams. Ella Fitzgerald's rendition of "My One and Only Love" is one of the most haunting ever examples of vocal Jazz. With regard to Rock/Pop, oh there are so many...but "Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" by Gerry and the Pacemakers never fails to intensely move me.
icurok	posted 16-Jul-2007 5:01am "Experiment No. 6" by Lemon Jelly. "Mysterons" by Portishead "Teardrop" by Massive Attack

judgescratch	posted 16-Jul-2007 8:29am I don't know about haunting, but P.Diddy's performance at The Concert for Diana gave me the goosebumps it was so good.
