When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions won’t grow
And we’re changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
Our respect run so dry?
Yet there’s still this appeal
That we’ve kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can’t function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again
Probably my favourite lyrics of all time, but musically it also seems as close to perfection as I can imagine a song ever reaching.
So what songs are you in total awe of? What songs stop you dead in your tracks?
 I'd walk her everyday, into a shady place

for me it's "do you realize" by the flaming lips. and i love the video as well.
for frank there's lots of them but will have to go with "speedie marie"- nothing can strike me with such awe.

Haaaaaahaa, I love spam that tries to be relevant.
A new one for the list would be "Katy Song" by Red House Painters. I've no idea how a song 8 minutes long that simple still manages to floor me on the 100th listen.

He sounds best lo-fi, like on Roman Candle and his self-titled album, imo.

Yeah, it's Emily Haines voice, I hadn't really noticed the guitar too much.
I love Elliott Smith too, and I don't know if it's because I haven't listened to Either/Or for ages, but I went back to listen to that and his voice seems too produced/layered. Even a live version I have isn't as good.

Emily Haines has a beautiful voice, but the guy's guitar playing ruined it for me. Elliott is a genius.
Speaking of Elliott Smith, I've always been in awe of "The Biggest Lie". Have you heard the Bright Eyes cover? It's pretty good, despite Conor Oberst sounding scared as shit, and the bad guitar solo.

Right now I am in awe of Between The Bars, Metric's acoustic version rather than Elliott Smith's album version.

Good call, Oldmanoty. Other classical pieces that have blown my mind: Mozart's 40th Symphony and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overtures. True, both are also classical cliches, but for good reason. The latter is especially interesting in the way that it incoroporates La Marseillaise, the national anthem of France. (The first time I heard the 1812 Overture, though, I wondered how Tchaikovsky managed to sample the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love.")
Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

Night On Bare Mountain - Mussorgsky. It's a bit of a classical cliche, often used in films and ads (there's even a disco version on Saturday Night Fever) but an amazing piece of music. It's the quieter sections that really get me. |

Hard to come up with awe-inspiring tunes. Plenty of songs I like quite a bit, but, I mean, awe?
Gamelan gong kebyar is pretty awesome.
The Wedding - the Legendary Pink Dots
Farmer In The City - Scott Walker
Psoriatic - Scott Walker
whilst the night rejoices profound and still - Current 93
Music On A Long, Thin Wire - Alvin Lucier

I think I get easily awed, I can come up with a bunch.
The Vanishing Spies - FB (limiting myself to 1)
You Sure Hank done it this Way - Uncle Tupelo (cover - I could say other tunes, but, there performance of this one just rocks)
Death Letter/Ball and a Biscuit - White Stripes (I believe in Jack White as they say, but, his electric blues stuff transcends)
Hurricane - Dylan (what a song, what a story brilliantly told)
TB Sheets - Van Morrison (haunting 9:30 minute version on the Bang Masters sessions disc)
Requiem - M.Ward
forget it, I could go on... |

Radiohead's Lucky is better than any song has a right to be; it just seems so good on so many levels.
That said, the song currently giving me the largest crop of goosebumps is Come On Up To The House by Tom Waits.

Great choice, kfs. I first heard this song on my family's first computer, an Apple IIc. It must have been a midi version. That little bumblebee wormed its way into my head, and I still crave hearing that song. I'm going to go look for it now ...

At the risk of repeating myself. Dead - Pixies. It's just unlike anything. Locked in ambergris. 20 years almost and forever fresh. I never tire.
FB's Steak 'N' Sabre - Like Trobrianders don't you understand.
PJ Harvey's Meet Ze Monsta - Do I know what it feels like for a girl?
Tom Waits' Puttnam County - For the measure of the man.
Costello's version of My Funny Valentine - Covers allowed?
Kristin Hersh's Spring - A fucker of a lifeline.
Liz Phair's May Queen - Got any?
Scott Walker's Rosary - Only a little mad.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' (Are You) The One I've Been Waiting For? - Tough, so many to choose from.

I'm so late getting into this band it's untrue. To be honest, I haven't even started. I'm stuck on one song. What I can't get out of my head and off the stereo is the Minutemen's "History Lesson - Part II".
I really am in awe.
