The Songs that Haunt Us
By The songs that haunt us tend to be slow. Or slower–at least–than uptempo poppy or rocky songs. They’re the songs that fuse to our skeleton and become a part of us. They’re the songs we never get tired of hearing–ever. Thet instantly transport us to a different world–it’s Pavlovian, our reaction. I’m always so happy when another song enters my pantheon of haunters. Here are mine, starting with my newest obsession:
Love and Communication-Cat Power
Outro-M38
Love Song for a Vampire-Annie Lennox
You’re the One-Kate Bush
What You Know-T.I.
Two Weeks-Grizzly Bear
Exodus Damage-John Vanderslice
Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us–Alison Kraus/Robert Plant
Pretty much any Bryan Ferry song
Woman in Chains-Tears for Fears
I know I’m forgetting some. UPDATE: ARRRRRGH SO MANY!!
