A couple of our favourites
Natasha Atlas “Adam’s Lullabye”
Nightwish “Sleeping Sun”
Listening to Radio 3 just now reminded me of a wonderfully haunting song, Flanders and Swann’s Slow Train.

I heard it too, an extraordinary piece of work. Deeply melancholic and unlike anything else that they recorded.
I always think of it as being in the same vein as the Edward Thomas poem about the deserted station at Adelstrop.

Huge F&S fan here. I love their take on Mozart’s 4th horn concerto, it’s really very clever. And Flanders’ rhymes in Misalliance are so witty: “… Bindweed” with “…mind; we’d” and “… entwined; we’d” for example. And when things get a bit excessive in HiFi Corner, I’m reminded of their Song of Reproduction. Just the sort of thing I need when the world gets too depressing.
Apologies for thread diversion.

Just picked up this thread.
Would Judie Tzuke - Stay with me till Dawn qualify. IMO the best song she’s written.

Jenn Bostic - Jealous of the Angels
A beautiful track about the loss of her father…
Fairport Convention - Fotheringay
I’m sure I could pick several songs by Sandy Denny for this thread, but Fotheringay is not only a ‘hauntingly beautiful’ song, it includes some fiendishly difficult, but simple sounding, guitar accompaniment too.

The Titfield Thunderbolt is currently available on iPlayer. You get a sense from that of what feelings inspired the song, though that film was over a decade before Beeching. A very talented duo, I’ve got a F&S compilation CD where they even take a sideswipe at hifi enthusiasts. Tsk tsk!
Mrs Q & I watched the Titfield Thunderbolt the other day.
It was her Fathers favourite film.
