Hey You
Comfortably Numb

Two of my all-time favourites

Can't beat these played loud or with headphones on in the dark...

I found a lot of the music in Ico quite moving, particularly the theme that plays when you sit on a save couch. Lovely.

Yeah, good call. I've recently go into Neon Genesis Evangelion, and find the theme songs in that oddly moving. Even the "Fly Me To The Moon" song at the end - at least when it's done in the style it is in the first couple of episodes (they seem to muck about with different styles in a couple of the later episodes, then go back to the original style).

That is one of those songs that I lliked much because of the video.

It was a bit of a throwback to '70s sci-fi series like Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers with the singer and backup girls wearing silvery wigs (bit llike the Movellans out of Dr. Who) and shots of a space ship approaching a planet and then llanding on it when the "intergalactic operator" says that the connection is llost.

Another song that I lliked becuz of the sci-fi related video was Loverboy by Billy Ocean, it featured some alien on a horse or something. The song itself was totally not about aliens on horses BTW.

Mmmm... great music in Ico. The one game that always does it for me is the tune on the load saved game screen of Zelda. I damn near blubbed when I first played OOT just hearing that tune for the first time in ages.

and as for that cover of Unchained Melody by Gareth Bates(?) - words fail me "unexplicably" as to describe how UTTERLY SHITE that was

Well... that's hardly surprising, is it?

...although I really, truly, didn't mind "Wannabe" and "Generation Next"

A record about watching a pretty girl walk down the street, but it always makes me cry. It's something about the quiet desperation in his voice I think - the knowledge that no matter what he says or does the Pretty Woman isn't going to "walk on by" in his direction... Actually, now that I think about it, that's fairly explicable isn't it?

Bad News' cover of this tears me up, too - in laughter

Nah, we want more than "like"... we want "songs that emote"...

Yes. YES! The stilted Japlish just makes it seem so... poignant

The Noir soundtrack sends shivers down my spine, as does the music from the original Shadow of the Beast.

Every Breath You Take by the Police. This song reminds me of my Dad for some reason, who's still perfectly alive. I can't listen to it, arg!!!

The Boxer - Simon and Garfunkle

*sigh*

Dog and Butterfly - Heart

Melissa (generally referred to as 'Sweet Melissa') - Allman Brothers

Thursday's Child - David Bowie

Please Remember Me - Tim McGraw (yes, country, but give it a shot)

This is all I can think of now...

Pearl Jam - Release makes me cry in sadness

(because it reminds me of the time I listened to it when my grandad bram died)

Paul Weller - You do something to me makes me cry in happiness

(because it was the song that played when my beautiful wide walked down the aisle towards me)

Travis - Flowers in the window

(all those pregnant ladies in the video, "watch the flowers grow" and last week Adam (my son) came into the world)
