perfect songs
 

so,i think there are a few "perfect songs"...i mean,not the best songs in the world,just songs that you like and have NOTHING,not a single note,a sigle background noise,a pause or wathever that you'd like to change and that give you shivers for their sheer beauty every time you listen to them.i'll start with a short list of mines:
to bring you my love - p.j.harvey
first breath after coma - explosions in the sky
water - blonde redhead
venus in furs - VU
fear of fireflies - calla
schizophrenia - sonic youth (duh)
mad world - gary jules
she moves in secret ways - polly paulusma
pull the wires from the wall - the delgados
the kidnapper bell - mono
all we ever wanted was everything - bauhaus
heart and hands - devics

uh,so many "romantic" choices

this is not exactly like a "your fav songs of all time",but kinda...forgive me.

'For Sale: The Preston school of Industry' - Pavement
'Range Life' - Pavement
'Brave Men Run' - Sonic Youth
'Macbeth' - Ciccone Youth

Most of my "perfect songs" are by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds:

The Ship Song
Are You The One That I've Been Waiting For?
Into My Arms
Straight To You

Or Cowboy Junkies:

Sun Comes Up, It's Tuesday Morning
'Cause Cheap Is How I Feel

I second First Breath After Coma. The part where the drums kick in is the most beautiful part of music ever.
These are good too:
Jewel - Foolish Games
Cat Power - Moonshiner, No Sense, and You May Know Him
Joanna Newsom - Swansea and "En Gallop"
mewithoutYou - Bullet to Binary
Norma Jean ft. Aaron Wiess - Memphis Will Be Laid To Waste
At the Drive-in - Rascuache
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps
Xiu Xiu - Apistat Commander, Hives Hives, and their Bauhaus cover
Radiohead - Planet Telax
Parenthetical Girls - The Weight She Fell Under
Death Cab for Cutie - Expo '86
CoCo Rosie - Terrible Angels
Animal Collective - Winter's Love

Sorry, Hayden, but Chan Marshall has a terrible voice, and no song on which she sings could ever be perfect.

Do feel free to be rude about Nick Cave in return, he's no great shakes in the vocal department either.

you mean,after that short little break?if the answer is "yes",i think i love you.
and maps is worth mentioning too.

Her voice is beautiful. What have you been listening to?

Yes. Precisely that part. I fucking love EITS.


I just don't like anything the Bad Seeds have ever done. Chan Marshall's voice is fucking brilliant and every song she sings is heartbreaking.

You have no taste, dear. Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.

dddddddddaamn,sonicl,you ruined the mood!i was giggling and all,now i'm worried that this thread could turn into a chan/bad seeds bashing/supporting thing :( ;) :)
hayden,eits just finished recording their new album,but it will be released next spring i think...hopefully it will leak before the official release date,usually they don't care at all about sharing and stuff like that...and i'll buy it as soon as it come out,i simply can't wait that long.their travels in constant ep is amazing too.

Don't worry, Hayden's put me right.

But he's totally wrong about The Bad Seeds.

I'm not being blunt and saying they aren't good. I just don't find anything they've ever done enjoyable.

Chan Marshall=unlistenable

oh,and:
sunny road - emiliana torrini
almost every song from Elephant Eyelash - Why? i love his lyrics..

listen to me,then,and stop talking about other people's tastes and drop your list! Grrrr!

Go wank off to the Legendary Pink Dots, miserable cunt.

It's all in good fun.

mkay,you're right,it's just me...i'm not in the mood for those things,guess i'll take a break,have a cup of tea,let this thread develop and grow,then come back and check it.so,ok,have fun and post some suggestions/lists if you feel like doing it!--see ya all later.

Here are a few songs I consider to be unfuckwithable:

La Fievre by Overhang Party
Collision and Be Here Now by Loop
Supercoven by Electric Wizard
Archangels Thunderbird by Amon Duul II
Cathedral by Felt
Jesu Dod by Burzum
Dreamin' Demon by The Birdmen Of Alkatraz
Take Me To The Other Side by Spacemen 3
Ikon by High Rise

Mr Clone's just inspired me to name another one:

Primitive Painters by Felt

I've gone weak at the knees just thinking about that song.

Athlete Cured (Peel Session Version) - The Fall
