[Closed] Moving or Inspirational Music .. your suggestions please

Danny Boy.

The National: Fake Empire

😯

Uncanny - two of my very favourite artists there Stoner.

The Enigma Variations. By a chap called Elgar.

for a floor layer from the boondocks, you appear to have a bit of taste then, bigboobs.

Inspires me to ride faster.

+1 for Stoners offerings, plus some culture please, Chopin Ballade No1 and Rachmaninoff symphony No2

And +1 for Danny Boy but the Christy Moore version from the Lament album...

Bit of a cliche answer perhaps, but Sigur Ros.

Last of the Mohicans soundtrack.

The bit where he's running up the mountain to try and save the girl.

Portishead - Roads

Bat Out Of Hell

Of course Eva cassidy's version is superb but i like this also ..amazing voice

Will have to revisit that one iDave. Haven't heard it in yonks.

I'm still working my way through these [url= http://theasc.blogspot.com/p/deep-space-mix-series.html ]ASC mixes[/url], all of which are sublime.

Did you catch the Bristol Bon Iver gig, DD?

Also, for Derekrides (am on a work computer, so can't actually tell if this links ok...)

Nope, kicking myself here too. 😀

Adagio for Strings from Platoon

Jonny cash- hurt. Almost brings me to tears when I hear it. But that may be because both my parents loved to listen to him.
One from my youth was the instrumental guitar music ( can't think what it was called) from top gun. Probably a bit cheesy for most bit I loved it. 😀

Jonny cash- hurt. +1

that is all the more moving because it was so close to the end of his life.

gorecki symphony 3 2nd movement. especially when sung by Dawn Upshaw.
a message written on a WWII gestapo cell wall.

On the classical theme, I always stop what Im doing when I hear struck-up "The Great Gate of Kiev" from Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky as Mrs S and I chose it for our wedding.

Also the 4th & 5th movements from "Symphonie Fantastique" by Berlioz and just about anything by Faure.

+1 for Danny Boy; a classic.

Too many contemporary unes to pick one really

Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky

Superb work.

Midnight Cowboy Theme Tune

Jeff Buckley singing 'Dido's Lament'.

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy's I See A Darkness, Blood Embrace, and a whole host of his other stuff.

Astral Weeks album by Van the Man.

What's Going On - Marvin Gaye.

thankyou! Ive worn out my National mp3s* and I need something new.

* you know what I mean 😉

Stoner - I'd recommend starting with Lantern and Stick Music.

Here's The Owl though, just to put you off:

😀

Edit: there should be a video on here: http://www.npr.org/2010/12/09/131703238/the-5-best-genre-defying-albums-of-2010

Of last song featuring the national vocalist too which is probably more your thing?

REM - Everybody Hurts

Playing in the early '90's at the time when my boyfriend committed suicide - always now reminds me of the loss a wonderful, talented, inspirational person.

That Christy Moore....

^ what the bloody hell is that warbling bollox metalheart? 🙂

that cant be considered "similar" to The National! 😛

EDIT: Ahh, now Last Song seems a bit more like it 🙂

Is it me or is there some dust in the air? I'm sure a bit of it just landed in my eye....... 😥

E-Hug coming your way, Sue.

Zadoc The Priest by George Frederic Handel. Composed for George II's coronation and played at every one since. Wonderful piece of music that builds to an amazing crescendo....... The 'Champions League Theme' blatantly ripped it off! Sacrilige!

Stoner: See the edit.

Told you you'd hate it I thoughtnit was total gash first time I heard it. Struggled with the album tbh but now I love it.

Of you could also try Espers. The second album is my favourite. I'll see if I can find a vid for yah too..

Never said that clogs were similar. But they do share personnel. The Dessner brothers...

Brahms 1, Mahler 5, Mozart Requiem,

and Johnny Cash "Hurt" +2

Heard a great quote yesterday, 'is the quality of the music greater than the quality of the silence that it's replacing"?

The Marriage Of Figaro / "Duettino - Sull "Aria"

Most commonly recognised as the classical piece in the middle of the shawshank redemption, the duet he plays on the record player

CFH - thanks
