| Re: Moving / Beautiful Songs Dan -- Oddly, the only ones I'm familiar with in this list are "Nothing Compares," and "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Let me throw an obvious one out: "You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)" -- Josh Groban. Beyond this guy's amazing voice, I know Peter Gabriel had a hand in the arrangement of the song, and he's an all time favorite performer of mine. One more: a song that just plain captured me lately was The Blue Man Group's version of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love," with Venus Hum's Annette Strean singing lead. The raw intensity of the music and lighting effects contrasted by Annette's bouncy, almost silly 1950's naive innocence and the Blue Men's performance art antics blows me away. I suppose neither one of these may qualify as hauntingly beautiful, but I like them both quite a bit. I guess when I think of "hauntingly beautiful" I tend to think of material like The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby," and "Across the Universe," or The Police's "Invisible Sun."
