It seems our music thread has died of old age, so I decided to start a new one. This thread isn't specific to any genre or theme, just post whatever strikes your fancy...

And this one mostly because I love Seattle:

Okay, I got a little carried away that time. :blushed: Please share!

And this is one of those songs that everyone knows but doesn't know the title to, and every time I show it to someone they react like they've found the missing puzzle piece in their life:

There are some 40+ remixes of this song, so hunt around and pick your poison for it.

The original actually doesn't even have the signature piano bits to it, that only came in on the remixes:

Just downloaded:

I found this song on a movie I watched (cant remember which one) and found the name of the group in the credits. It's apparently from the 60's. Just try to stay depressed after listening to this!

Some favorites from Scandinavia:

And the next three reflecting my deep appreciation for geeks:

The above song has a really cute video that goes with it, but embedding has been disabled on the official video, so if you want to see it, go to youtube. It very entertaining.

You said post anything so I'm going to throw this one in (very funny):

 

[The Vizier]

I've always enjoyed this very much. :laughing:

 

[RememberWhenItRained]

love this one. the idea of wanting to get away, yet loving and being inevitably connected with someone else This guy's good. just check out his other songs. It's a wonder he doesn't have an album out on iTunes (though he has a singe.)

 

[zwanglos]

Too catchy.

I fell in love with Assemblage 23 and VNV Nation. Both very NF bands.

I prefer the original. Cabelle's voice is powerful and truly resonates. The eighties version is also lovely, though it seems a bit lighter.

This next song is very close to my heart. I heard it very often playing on our turntable when I was a kid. And I named my son after it and often sang it to him when he was a baby:
