I wish you guys would quit reminding me of artists I should have mentioned.

(ie. Marvin Gaye)

Here's one of my own, again:

Neil Finn, esp. his newer solo career stuff. Others may know Neil Finn from Split Enz or Crowded House.

Oh yeah, how did I forget: Nick Drake. I'm sure someone mentioned him somewhere along these 9 pages, but if not, it's about time. Pink Moon in particular is beautiful...

Not my usual sphere, but i recently bought a couple of Minnie Riperton's albums - what a range that girl had and some quite rude songs too. There's so much more to her than just Lovin' You.

Truly beautiful voice.

the song "crowds" by Bauhaus.
Also, the entire Mind: T.P.I. album by Skinny Puppy; that one just carries me away someplace, it is almost unspeakably beautiful. I used to put it on the stereo at a low volume when I went to bed sometimes.

Oh, and one more, the song "The Shock of Contact", from LPD's Island of Jewels album.
Jeez, there are so many more, I could never list them all. SWANS alone have more songs like that than I can remember; Einsturzende Neubauten made quite a few, among them is Armenia, and Wueste, and Halber Mensch.
I could go on and on for hours listing songs and groups. I am a fanatic, basically. To me, truly good music is better than sex. A beautiful piece of music is like heroin; it makes everything seem alright, if only for as long as it is fresh in the memory.

Philip

quite right.

I can't forget Dead Can Dance. Seeing them live at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver was more moving than I could properly describe. The album "Spleen and Ideal" was the first that I heard, back in the eighties, and I was hooked instantly. That, The Serpents Egg, and Within The Realm of a Dying Sun are going to be remembered in future music history courses. Well, they should be anyway.

I second that! Was just listing to him croon, "She came out of the water, into my horizon, liek a cumulonimbus, coming in from the distance"

Great lyricist, too.

Crowded House, 'Pineapple Head' wrote: and if you choose to take that path
I will play you like a shark
and I'll clutch at your heart
I'll come flying like a spark to inflame you

Amongst many more.

I'll be seeing him with his brother Tim, in Toronto. Should be quite the show. Wonder if his son will be part of the band this time, or if he's busy with his own band.

For me, Eva Cassidy does it every time, especially "i know you by heart", for whatever reason, I have never been able to listen to that song without it affecting me emotionally. her voice just goes right through me.

I'd like to hear other examples of what songs affect you guys and gals in a similar way.!

"Planet Caravan" by Black Sabbath.

moonlight kiss - bap kennedy
nick drake - northern sky
waiting in vain - annie lennox

these all depending on my melancholy mood swings have the ability to make me weep

There are so many songs/singers moving me, it's endless.
einstürzende neubauten (armenia among many others)
nine inch nails (hurt, and nearly everything else)
cure
recoil (elctro blue for bukka white)
young gods

and tons of other songs of course (from portishead, nustrat fateh ali khan, rabih abu khakil, radiohead, eminem, bowie, nick cave, herbert, phlegm......)

which singer/song really makes you emote?
