Re: Haunting Songs

One of the first songs I ever 'felt', I'd have been about 7, was probably 'Bright Eyes' by Art Garfunkel and Mike Batt, so that will always have a place in my heart.

However, the music that haunts me....

Michael Nyman Band - The Heart Asks Pleasure First

Must agree with you about Blonde Redhead, although most of their stuff is quite haunting. Hardly do you remember though, I saw them at Shepherds Bush last year. Another one I saw last year, who I think has the most haunting lyrics of all is Regina Spektor.

Re: Haunting Songs

"Amelia" by The Mission. Very uncomfortable listening!

Re: Haunting Songs

yes Marc Almond was a good looking guy when he first hit
the scene... his music very decadent but distinctive and he
had a good voice.
He made a big impact... a bit like Gary Numan when he first hit the scene

Marc had a bad accident a few years ago.. a crash riding pillion on
a motorbike through London.............!
Make it your rule........ never ever ride pillion on a motorbike !

Re: Haunting Songs

I have to agree about Soft Cell 'Torch', something strange about it.

Yes, of course. Good catch. Forgot about that one.

Re: Haunting Songs

'Now is here' and 'I will find you' by Clannad are ones that get to me. I have to agree about Soft Cell 'Torch', something strange about it.

Re: Haunting Songs

For me the intro music for the Hammer House Of Horror was a haunting song for me has a kid.

Re: Haunting Songs

The theme tune to "Harry's Game" circa 1983 by Clannad always brings me out in goose bumps, as did "Once in a lifetime" which they did with Bono. Don't know her name but the lead vocalist of Clannad has a very haunting voice.
