Please post some ethereal / spooky songs...

"Where the Wild Roses Grow," Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave

The Dark Dresses Lightly by Aurora. Kinda Kate Bush-adjacent.

I think this one would count...

Laurie Anderson - "Poison"

Lovers' Day - 'Til Tuesday

Goldfrapp - Utopia

DOA by Bloodrock 1970. Big hit in my Junior High back then. Goths had nothing on us.

MH must've had something written in his contract -

R9 That song scared the absolute shit out of me when I was a kid.

Madonna 1=

Madonna 2 =

Madonna 3 =

Little Dragon - Mirror

Fade To Grey perhaps?

I heard this for the first time last night.

I was mesmerized.

Apparently, Joaquín Rodrigo, who was blind, composed it in Paris in 1939. His wife was in labor -- for ten days. She lost the child. Every day, he would walk to the hospital to see her. When he would return home at night, he sat at the piano and wrote it.

"Cruel" by Tori Amos

I died in a car crash two days ago

Was unrecognizable

When they pulled me from the gears

No one's fault, no one's bottle

No one's teenage pride or throttle

Belinda's partner in GOs2 -

The White Stripes big hit tune could've been a Star Trek film theme with aliens invading...

Was a lot spookier before it was made into a perfume ad.

Maybe not so much spooky but very ethereal

The classics never go out of style.

Hold my beer 🍺

Very ethereal with spooky lightning sounds in a faraway place...

Duran2 No. 1

Duran2 No. 2

Get lost

You have shit tastes

A big taste for shit!💩

That Blue Oyster Cult song about Joan Crawford rising from the dead

Seriously Pink Floyd's songs about the human condition are the scariest out there.

Billie Holiday - For All We Know

From her penultimate album" Lady In Satin" -the last to be released in her lifetime.

[quote]Ray Ellis made his arrangements of the songs to match Holiday's voice. By the mid- to late-1950s, Holiday's voice had changed drastically due to years of alcohol and drug abuse, altering its texture and giving it a fragile, raspy sound. Despite her voice's condition, its distinctive edge had not been lost, and the style of phrasing that had made her a popular jazz singer remained at her command. Ray Ellis said of Holiday's voice:

[quote]I heard her voice [and] I dug it. I was in love with that voice and I was picturing a very evil, sensuous, sultry, very evil...probably one of the most evil voices I've heard in my life...Evil is earthy to me. When you say someone is evil, it means very, very bad. I don't mean bad.

wikipedia

Listening Wind - Talking Heads

I agree about Driver's Seat. It used to make me wonder what happened to Jenny who was "sweet" and always smiled for the people she'd meet.

This cover by Chelsea Wolfe that was featured in the horror movie "X" is phenomenally spooky and ethereal (as is most of her music ).

Also almost anything by Nicole Dollanganger

Pink Martini's version of Qué sera sera. If I ever become I serial killer this is going to be my theme song while I'm slicing and dicing.

This Nicole Dollangager tune especially gives me the fucking creeps. The lyrics are beyond morbid, but I find the sparse, echoing guitar riff extremely haunting.

cowboy junkies - this street, that man, this life

it's pretty much a victim's family letter to a the serial killer who killed her.

That man wears his skin like a dancer wears her veils That man stalks his victims like a cancer stalks a cell That man's soul has left him, his heart's as deadly as a rusty nail That man sheds his skin like a veil

So many songs from The Art of Noise fit the bill for this thread, but Moments in Love is especially good.

Ooooh good one, R90 / R91 . That whole album (Black Eyed Man) was a treasure.

.. and from around the same time period (early 90s), Mazzy Star, Into Dust

Lord you play a hard game.

You know we followed every rule.

Then you took the one thing that we thought we'd never lose.

all I ask is if she's with you please keep her warm and safe and if it's in your power please purge the memory of this place

Those Whole Girls (Run In Grace) -- Suzanne Vega

It took 96? We're slipping.

A very spooky song with ethereal overtones -

This is on my iPod.

Chelsea Wolfe, "Pale on Pale" (she has a lot of other songs that would fit in this list)

I find this pic spookier than the song...
