music is what feelings sound like
This is both birthday music for the elderly (but in denial)ice_crystal, and an answer to fahye's question about music that tugs at the heartstrings. This is beautiful music, emotional break up music, wallowing in tears in the dark music, or equally music to smile in happiness to.
Peter Gabriel - With This Love (choir) from The Last Temptation of Christ.
David Sylvian and Ryiuchi Sakamoto - Forbidden Colours for David Sylvian's voice, and the heartbreaking lyrics. I can't remember if the vocal version is in the movie, but the instrumental at least was in Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence.)
Franz Schubert - Ave Maria (Maria Callas) Not the best recording ever, because it's old, obviously, but Maria Callas has such a beautiful voice, I had to pick it over more recent recordings.
Mark Isham - My Wife With Champagne Shoulders I first heard him play trumpet at a David Sylvian concert, and went out the next day and bought an album, even though I don't particularly like trumpets.
Faure - Requiem, Sanctus. I get lost listening to this.
Brian Eno - On Some Faraway Beach Brian Eno really does go the gamut from the sublime to the ridiculous! This is at the sublime end.
Lamb - Gabriel
Explosions in the Sky - Your Hand In Mine
Eric Satie - Gymnopedie No. 3 (piano)
Ennio Morricone - On Earth as It Is In Heaven from the soundtrack to The Mission.
Sigur Ros - Viðrar Vel Til Loftárása Gah, I just know I'm going to keep remembering more pieces to add, but I can't leave this out.
And one more late addition, that I can't leave off the list.
Bach - Cello Suite No.1, Prelude performed by Yo Yo Ma (I'm going to try to make this the last edit!)
As always, if you enjoy the tasters, support the artists and buy their albums, do!
ETA: I was going to add Peter Murphy's Strange Kind of Love, but I only seem to have it on... um, LP! (Shut up, Anne, it doesn't make me that ancient!) Does anyone have the mp3 they'd be willing to share?
