    I'd have to pick Samuel Barber's 'Adagio for Strings'

    Every time I hear that I get tears in my eyes. It's so overwhelmingly morose.

    mick hucknall dying by choking on his own vomit after a Babycham binge... its not happened yet, but when it does it will be the most beautiful thing in music... until then i think it might be the guitar solo of Midlake's - Head Home... (2.49 into this video ... which gives me goose bumps every time... and it makes me do the guitar face. :)

    LOL at your hatred for Mick Hucknall!!!

    My mother has recently become the minister of a church and they have a load of pianos as well as an organ in there. When it was empty the other week I played Chloe Dancer on one of the pianos. The acoustics in the place were amazing. It was fucking cool :D

    Of course, there's a lot to be said for the ironic beauty of playing songs about prostitutes and junkies in a church :o

    That made me laugh :)

    The first time I ever heard The Soulsavers Revival. I love that song but I wish I could go back to the first time I heard it.

    I love that song like I love my own right hand... I had no idea what to expect from Lanegan/Soulsavers, but as soon as I heard Revival, I knew it was gonna be great.

    I think part of the beauty of that song was having no clue what to expect. You put the album on, Revival comes on and hits you like a train....but an amazing train. Amazing album and unbelievable song!

    There's an acapalla part in the heather nova song, 'ear to the ground', from her first record. Her voice is layered over itself half a dozen times, I expect that's what angels would sound like.

    Since we're coming up on that time of the year...I nominate the last verse of the original version of The Little Drummer Boy by the Harry Simeone Chorale. Accept no substitutes.
    Don't threaten me with a good time.
