Songs that you love...

[dawny0826]

Well, this week, my favorite songs are...

The Killers - All These Things That I've Done (Live 8 - Volume is a bit low... so, turn it up!)

Richard Ashcroft & Coldplay - Bittersweet Symphony (Live 8)

The Cure - end

These are great. The Killers (and the Cure, for that matter) are in a league of their own.

I have a soft spot in my heart for this one. YouTube - The Killers - Smile Like You Mean It (music video)

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.

LOL, you do realize that song is, like, a century old, right? Thin Lizzy ain't the original.

 

[Magic Man]

LOL, you do realize that song is, like, a century old, right? Thin Lizzy ain't the original.

Yes, but they are the original to me, and they are the version that Metallica based theirs on, as far as I know. I think Thin Lizzy were the first rock group to do a version.

Sultans of Swing- Dire Straits
Dreams- The Cranberries
Angel- Sarah McLachlan

Sultans of Swing is WAY cool... so is Dire Straits!
Dreams just goes to my spine. The harmonies are haunting.
Angel has such a WONDERFUL message and the tune is also haunting.

Ooohh...one more----a gorgeous oldie-goldie by 60's/70's folk group Peter, Paul, & Mary:

YouTube - Peter Paul & Mary--There is Love

I love acoustic guitar, having grown up listening to my dad play a 12-string Martin, and this song is a breathtaking pure guitar piece, IMHO.

A friend pointed me in the direction of this band. I can't get enough. This song one of several written about Anne Frank. It's loverly.

Neutral Milk Hotel - Holland, 1945

The only girls I've ever loved,
Was born roses in her eyes,
But then they buried her alive,
One evening, 1945,
Only her sister by her side...

 

[Ringer]

Vicarious - by Tool

 

[Darkness]

Easy Tonight - Five for Fighting: moving song about going after love even when it is doomed to fail.

World - Five for Fighting: Idealistic and Dreamy.

Frontline - Pillar: One of the greatest battle songs.
