hmmm, intersting

Satisfied Mind - Jeff Buckley

Without You -Nilsson
Grow Old With You -Adam Sandler (from The Wedding Singer)

"I'll Remember You" - B. Dylan
"The Rain Song" - L. Zeppelin

I love the opening to Apocalypse Now with The End.

Think I'll go for "Ashes to ashes" by David Bowie for no good reason.

'Exit Music (for a film)' and 'Lucky' - Radiohead

"We hope, that you choke..." thats beautiful! Ack! Ack! Great song though...

Sigur Ros music.

And, Collapse The Light Into Earth- Porcupine Tree


Along with...many others.

It is very beautiful, to me, at least.

(Also the 'rain down' bit in Paranoid Android)

Don't Dream It's Over -- Crowded House

Silent Lucidity -- Queensryche

You And Your Friend -- Mark Knopfler

Sweet Surrender -- Sarah MacLaughlan

Delerium --Sarah MacLaughlan

Comfy Numb -- PF (of course)

Cuts You Up -- Peter Murphy

Songbird -- Fleetwood Mac
The Last Time I Saw Richard -- Joni Mitchell
America -- Simon & Garfunkel
When I Go -- Over the Rhine

Shorley Wall - Ooberman
The Sun Rising - The Beloved
Baby, You're My Light - Richard Hawley

There's tons more but I can't be arsed to think what they are just at the moment.

Hey Stratman, are the lyrics to 'You and Your Friend' supposed to be about an orgie? BTW, it's a dire straits song, not just Mark Knopfler.

You're right. Dire Straits. My mistake.

I've never heard any background explanation of the lyrics; I just assumed it was some guy's kiss-off to his cheating girlfriend. (i.e., "your friend" is a male rival)
However, I can see your point. If "your friend" is assumed to be another female then it certainly could be what you say. I never imagined Mark Knopfler to be that kinky.

I love the guitar playing, not the lyrics, BTW.

I knew there were more...

Man of the World- Fleetwood Mac
How to Disappear Completely and
Everything in It's Right Place- Radiohead
Imagine- John Lennon
Norwegian Wood- Beatles (don't know why this one is beautiful, exactly, but it is)

Almost always makes me cry. It's so soulful. (Especially the one in "On The Night"). I believe it is a kiss-off to cheating g/f too.
