One of the most deeply sad songs and videos I’ve ever ever seen…
So if I PM you my Paypal account, will you put some money in? I listened to it.

Barber’s Adagio for Strings is pretty neat.
It’s popular at funerals and as a general expression of grief or tragedy, but the story goes that Barber actually intended the music to be about sex. Think about it…[/quote]
That is a good one.
I like this piece by Mascagni, it was used in the opening credits for Raging Bull
It’s a tie between Generation X’s ‘Kiss Me Deadly’ and the Pistols’ cover of ‘No Fun’.
I suppose the latter isn’t exactly traditionally beautiful, but sometimes it near makes me cry, which is worth something, right? There’s a fuck of a lot of emotion in that tune.
O yah, Jeff Buckley and Barry Manilow and whatever else you ponces listen to…

Why the hell would you put those two in the same sentence. Clueless.

Great music and opening sequence.

Love Song For A Vampire
Come into these arms again
and lay your body down
The rhythm of this trembling heart
is beating like a drum
It beats for you it bleeds for you
it knows not how it sounds
For it is the drum of drums
it is the song of songs
Once I had the rarest rose
that ever deemed to bloom
Cruel winter chilled the bud
and stole my flower too soon
Oh loneliness Oh hopelessness
to search the ends of time
For there is in all the world
no greater love than mine.
Love o love o … still falls the rain
Love o love o … still falls the night
Love o love o … damned forever
Let me be the only one
to keep you from the cold
Now the floor of heaven is laid
the stars are bright as gold
They shine for you they shine for you
they burn for all to see
Come into these arms again
and set this spirit free

I always liked her work.
It moved me such that I made it THE song at my wedding.
Nirvana- Old Age
Nirvana- Do Re Mi
I’m a BIG Nirvana fan. Both of these but especially Do Re Mi are very nice beautiful songs. I couldn’t imagine the beautiful music he could have made…
Kurt Cobain recorded both of these by himself at home on a 4-track.
Saeglopur by Sigur Ros.
It’s amazing even though I have no idea what the lyrics mean due to it not being english. Honestly have a listen…
And I loved the Dream Theatre song Rocker3829. I’d never heard it before now, but I love their work.
I have never been able to find a recording of this, but I saw Leon Russell do a version of Somewhere over the rainbow/America the beautiful, that was tremendously moving.
I also find the version of Somewhere over the Rainbow by Isreal Kamakawiwo’ole beautiful.
For instrumental, Jeff Beck playing the Stevie Wonder penned, Cause we’ve ended as lovers. So mournful you can feel the pain.
Johnny Cash playing Hurt by NIN hit’s close to home.
Not my usual cup of tea but this always gets me.
Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven.
Never used to bother me until I found out he wrote it about his son that died. Now I can’t listen to it without thinking about how I would feel if it was one of my kids.
Neutral Milk Hotel are brilliant.
I have a bootleg of him playing in a coffee shop - you can hear someone arguing about a piece of cake in the background at one point. The whole album has so much layered sound.
My vote goes to Iron and Wine - Love and Some Verses.
You’ll have to excuse the crappy video but some of the home-made ones are worse.
Beauty is definately in the eye (ear) of the beholder. Some songs are beautifuly written lyricaly or musicaly. Some are preformed brilliantly. Eddie Vedder has the amazing ability to make you feel his anguish in “black”
“Black”
Hey… oooh…
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything.
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything…
I take a walk outside
I’m surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear?
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I’m spinning, oh, I’m spinning
How quick the sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything…
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I’ll be… yeah…
Uh huh… uh huh… ooh…
I know someday you’ll have a beautiful life,
I know you’ll be a sun in somebody else’s sky, but why
Why, why can’t it be, why can’t it be mine
Aah… uuh…
Jazz singer Nancy Wilson’s version of Bonnie Raitt’s song “I Can’t Make You Love Me”.

Jeff Buckley is dead Manilow for younger folks.
There’s no way we can paint our nails together if you’re playing that tripe.

What a strange, unfortunate, and incorrect analogy. Then again, I wouldn’t expect much more from a Sex Pistols fan. Talk about overrated and talentless.
And don’t worry about the nail painting… I like dark colors and I know you love yourself some pastels. :op

History shows the Sex Pistols were badly needed in the disco/corporate rock era. Besides, talent was never the point for them. They were a rough and loud breath of fresh air at the time.
But you were probably jackin’ off to Journey back then… if you’re that old to remember.
lol

Sure… they were a breath of hot air. They had their time and place, I still think they are overrated… as he clearly does about Jeff Buckley. I’m kind of a stickler for substance.
Jack off to Journey? So… thus far, I like Jeff Buckley and this means I like Barry Manilow and Journey? You guys are twats. Since you want to blow the pistols so bad, how about I tell you both to go listen to your My Chemical Romance albums and paint eachothers nails pink. Yeah, that would be right about on par. Makes the same amount of sense.
Btw ‘iron dwarf’ …aka mental midget- I’m 34 and female.

Journey was barely a band when the Sex Pistols were around.
The Clash buried the Pistols, anyway.
So there!!!
