Songs that you love...

I can listen to some Willie Nelson songs a million times or more.

My favorite now is:

YouTube - Willie Nelson - I Never Cared For You: Long Version

I love Willie digging into his guitar, and the lyrics are incredible. I love thinking about people that I don't like.

I love these threads!

And I love the Gathering. I like old and older stuff by the Gathering but Anneke's new stuff with Aqua de Annique is superb as well. I love Anneke's versality. She was able to transition from metal to music with more of a shoegazer/coffee house type feel, so easily. Here's a couple songs for your listening pleasure (or displeasure...take your pick).

Just lovely...

YouTube - the gathering -strange machines

YouTube - The Gathering - Shortest Day (6/13/06 747 webcast)

YouTube - 5. Agua de Annique bij 3 voor 12 -Beautiful One-

 

[Willamena]

This is my current favourite.
YouTube - LEONARD COHEN - Closing Time

 

[NoahideHiker]

I don't know why but I have always loved The Pet Shop Boys West End Girls. When this song came out I was in to Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Ozzy and the like.

I always loved Thompson Twins' Hold Me Now which is also weird. I think it's the bass guitar I love.

Three that always get my attention, no matter how much I change . . .

And "Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison, which I can't find on YouTube.

The Foggy Dew is a great song, especially with the Chieftains arrangement.

Have you ever heard this one:
YouTube - Óró sé do bheatha 'bhaile

or with Sinead,
YouTube - Sinéad O' Connor-Oro, Se Do Bheatha 'Bhaile (Live)

edit: the title in the link is Oro se do bheatha bhaile.

 

[Magic Man]

I don't know why this didn't post before, but:

My current obsession is "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay. I'm not a huge fan of theirs, but that song is breathtaking to me.

An oldie but goodie is "Maggie May" by Rod Stewart. I can't get tired of that song.

Beautiful. Thanks for the links.

Here's a few more of my favorites:

YouTube - Kate Bush - Mna Na H'Eireann (Montage)

YouTube - Siúil A Rún - Clannad

YouTube - Luke Kelly Raglan Road

Irish folk music was the soundtrack for my childhood.

I wanted this one to be my wedding song, this version: Youtube - The Corrs and Bono - When the Stars Go Blue

The music at our wedding ceremony was performed by a Celtic folk band. Our processional was O'Carolan's Concerto.

Oh yeah? Well, I had a bagpiper walk my wife in and walk us out.

Have you heard the original, love?

 

[Magic Man]

Have you heard the original, love?

I have. I have heard a few versions, actually. This is my favorite.

 

[Storm]

I prefer the roughness of the original, meself. Still, I can't deny that this is a great rendition. Bono is always gold, and the Corrs ain't bad, either.

These songs are awesome! This is one of my favorites from the 80s.

YouTube - Information Society - What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy)

 

[Magic Man]

Speaking of great originals, Metallica can't hold a candle to this: Youtube - Thin Lizzy - Whiskey in the Jar

Those vocals, and the whole song, is just plain haunting.
