hauntingly beautiful music

[Aggie_Ama]

Annie Lennox. She was performing last night at the AMA's ("why") and her voice has a haunting way about it. My friend I mentioned that was murdered got me into her about the time she released Medusa. Her voice is so amazing, I really love her and she is an inspiring woman all around.

There are some really good songs on these lists... and many I've not heard of. I'll take the time to look them up. There are a lot of classical songs that are truly amazing -- many I don't know the names for!, but appreciate all the same.

Here's some of my favorite more contemporary that bring chills and tears for me:

Bruce Spingsteen's "City of Ruins / Rise Up" about 9/11. Here is a live version that is so amazing -- Springsteen at his best here.

Also from the same cd: You're Missing... between the words and the haunting violin, it gets me every time.

Angel by Sara McLaughlin: Chokes me up every time I hear that commercial with the very sad dog and cat faces attached to that haunting song.... I can't take it. I'm practically sobbing if I watch it.

I know there are many others, but none I can come up with right this second.

Don't ask me why, but the song "Shenandoah" chokes me up.
"Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you. Away, you rolling river.."

some of my others have been previously mentioned .... and my mind has just gone blank...

Oh boy, you and me both.

Oh boy, you and me both.

I can't even watch that commercial anymore
