hauntingly beautiful music

[Aint Doody]

Linda Eder's "If I Had My Way." It's about 9/11.

"Look Over There" from La Cage Au Folles

"I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables

They all make me cry.

In my teens, I would play Bach's Tocatta & Fugue in D Minor over and over on the organ...much to my parents' (and neighbors') chagrin. No one argued when I gave up the organ.

I would characterize it more as "mysterious" than "haunting" though.

I second Hallelujah. I saw him sing it in concert here in Oslo this summer, and I had goosebumps and chills the entire song.

I don't know what it's called, but that song with the refrain "You lift me up, so I can climb a mountain". The lyrics are cheesy, the boy band version is awful, but I heard a professional singer sing it solo at a church wedding a few years ago and just burst into tears.

Garden of Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar.

Jerusalem sung by Jessye Norman.

Nothing compares 2 U by Sinead O'Connor.

Thank you so much for mentioning the Linda Eder song. It definitely qualifies as hauntingly beautiful. I can't stop crying now. Thank you. For what it's worth, if any of the rest of you haven't heard it I recommend that you do. It's on YouTube
