Music with real emotional impact

Goosebumps ahoy

Cowboy Junkies Trinity Session album

and almost anything by Ben Harper

fast forward to 1min 30

Fruit tree – Nick Drake
Strange Fruit -Billie Holliday

anything with fruit really.

A lot of my choices have already been mentioned, but here’s a few that haven’t:
John Lennon – Mother.
Kate Rusby – My Young Man
K D Lang – Nowhere to Stand

These all give me goosebumps, in different ways:

Melancholy, but totally uplifting:

To misquote “The Shawshank Redemption”, I have no idea to this day what those two Italian ladies werethat fat Italian bloke was singing about. Truth is, I don’t want to know. Some things are best left unsaid. I’d like to think they were singing about something so beautiful, it can’t be expressed in words, and makes your heart ache because of it.:

Ilike this but only because my wife walked down the isle to it.

I like it even more now I’ve seen the video.

Lots of elliot smith also
Waltz #2 and miss misery.

so , so sad.

Vodafone advert with a stunningly pretty girl on a station platform, not a bad tune either

New Model Army – ‘Green and Grey’ – Perfectly sums up the hopelessness of small town life to me.

Also, pretty much anything on the Afghan Whigs’ ‘Gentlemen’ album.

As a kid, Twin Peaks owned me.
