hauntingly beautiful music

[VeloVT]

Lakme's Flower Duet. Easily one of the prettiest duets ever, although overused.

I'm not sure this strikes me as haunting, but whenever it comes on (our local public radio station has an all-classical channel that I listen to sometimes) I just want to stop everything and listen.

I play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata -- that one always gets me.

Two items perpetually on my Christmas list:
-box set of Beethoven sonatas
-box set of Beethoven symphonies
Unfortunately it's intimidating to research which ones to get.

Maybe this is weird, but Louis Armstrong singing "what a wonderful world" makes me cry. I guess I can't really explain why, but it always does.

Also, totally dating myself and this is a little embarrassing, but "more than words" by Extreme gives me goosebumps. Doesn't make me cry, but definitely tugs at some strange emotional strings.
