Re: Haunting Songs

Ennio Morricone's Chi Mai and The Mission are fairly haunting.

And some of Karl Jenkins' works.

Re: Haunting Songs

"Elusive Butterfly" was a hit in Britain for Val Doonican rather than Bob Lind.

Re: Haunting Songs

Two haunting songs that come to mind
are... "The Bright Elusive Butterfly of Love"
writ by Bob Lind
and "Johnny Remember Me...."
writ I think by Joe Meek

Both from the 1960s .. Bob Lind's song is so different and unique... how did he come to write it ? I think he packed in pop music and became a novelist.
Joe Meek of course shot himself after having a brilliant career writing and producing songs..
like Telstar for eg that got to No 1 in the USA
Prob a 3rd song I could propose is
..... If you could read my mind... one of the most brilliant songs of all time.

Some very haunting tracks in there silverbirch.

Goldley and Creme - Under Your Thumb is kinda spooky........ also Clannad and theme from Harry's Game gives me goosebumps on my goosebumps.
