Re: Haunting Songs
The first half of OMD's Joan of Arc is really haunting imo. Also on the cheesy side of haunting we have Kim Wilde's Cambodia. 2 often overlooked 80's classics!Leave a comment:

Forbidden Colours gets my vote as does Torch by Soft Cell and Song to The Siren by This Mortal Coil. Fantastic Songs!
But of course there is also the aptly titled
Ghosts by Japan..........
'When the room is quiet, and daylight's almost gone.....'

Haunting/Dreamy Song?
My Love, My Life by Abba. On the Arrival Album
In fact Abba did a few haunting songs The Day Before You Came is another.
We are the Dead by David Bowie (Diamond Dogs Album) is very Spooky!
