[LeBonChic]

I sung the last goodbye
The broken rhyme I underlined
There's an ocean of sorrow in You.
...

If death should take me now
Count my mistakes and let me through
Whisper in my ear
"You've taken more than we've received"

And the ocean of sorrow is You.


This.

Pixie - Where is my mind



Frank used such a great pattern to describe how he felt under the ocean, the sound of the wave, Caribbean fish, and maybe a little drop of sunshine.(is it how you say so? I don't remember that.) I'm totally eased from all the tension and just enjoying brain scuba diving in this song. I don't know why, but the chorus always touches my heart, like a scissor cutting me through.

 

[Perickles]

Lush - When I die



'cause when I die, die
I'll see you again

RIP Chris Acland

 

[Benn98]

Mainly incidental music from emotionally charged scenes in series and film. Max Richter's Departure from The Leftovers is a current favourite, so is most of Frank Talley and James Reichert's compositions for Library Music in the 70s.
Some classical music which comes to mind:
Chopin's Waltz CSharp minor Op 64 #2 and definitely Nocturnal Op 9 #2
Moonlight Sonata from Beethoven, obviously
Balanescu Quartet's moody rendition of Maria Tănase's folk songs
Orchestral versions of Moscow Nights

Any of Cesaria Evora's Mornas
Some Enka music if I'm feeling sorry for myself, mostly from Yuko Oka and Meiko Kaji (corny, I know!)

Special mention to Cup of Coffee and Nobody Loves You from Garbage. Save Me and Dry Land from Joan Armatrading. Diamonds and Rust by Joan Baez. Vera Lynn's It Hurts say Goodbye.

Ryuichi Sakamoto - Nostalgia

Linkin Park - Easier to Run... this song reminds me the most of Chester, very heart breaking lyrics and vocal performance
