What really haunts you?

**Moriarty** · 12-18-2008, 04:57 PM

Has there ever been a song, poem, melody, film, image that you've absolutely absorbed and revisited? Have you ever been struck by the beautiful yet tragic nature of an act or expression? A tragic tale that is beautifully presented?

What have you found "haunting"?

I'll start.

The ending of A Tale of Two Cities.

"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known."

Hands Held High by Linkin Park

There's just something about it that makes me listen to it over and over again...

**Kisai** · 12-18-2008, 05:54 PM

Lisa Gerrard is a good one. I love listening to 'One Perfect Sunrise' mixed by Hybrid.

But for fiction: The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe

in the words of ICP, "that's as real as it gets. from the sky to the floor."

Don Quixote always kind of got to me... Probably because in a weird way it reminded me of my grandfather and his crazy obsession with windmills....

Another one that always haunts me and brings back memories of my grandfather is Sarah McLachlan's (sp?) Building a Mystery.

- the Flamingos

Something kind of echoey and a little dissonant about this song. Love it.

**INTJoe** · 12-18-2008, 10:15 PM

That song should be titled "I have eyes for only you". That's what haunts me. Mis-titled songs.

**rara avis** · 12-18-2008, 10:31 PM

Hmmm.
Nope, sorry, just doesn't have the same cadence.

INTJoe is overruled.

The scene in the Exorcist...when the girl is tied to the bed. They then show her shadow moving about the room (outside window shot). You realize that the devil is just f@cking with them....brilliant.

Great great photography, that video it's just pure poetry. And that music, is from another planet. Thank you, I didn't know her.

is what I'd say has haunted me for many years. The lost language between humans and animals. (click on EXPLORE)
I've been so lucky to see the the Ashes & Snow exhibition many years ago and it has never left me since....

I usually listen her when I walk. This song really makes me float above the world.

**Kuroyue** · 12-20-2008, 08:51 PM

The artist Nivbed used to have some old songs he's composed on his website. While they're more reminiscent of RPG background music than anything else, they really gave a distinct, atmospheric feel, and I keep imagining fantasy/surreal movie sequences and scenes over and over again every time I hear them. Good stuff. I have them on my iPod, but they're not on his website anymore...

(And while I'm at it, go check out his artwork, too. He's amazing.)

The telletubbies.

The scene in "the insider"...where she is singing and RC's hotel room is spinning is great. Michael Mann is one of the best at music in his movies.

Listening to Maynard's lyrics and the music really pulls at me... he always has such wonderful lyrics, and amazing instrumentals. Always chilling to the bone and gripping.

Schindler's List, Life is Beautiful and Hotel Rwanda. Tragic beyond belief but beautifully presented.

The Drinking Den- read the crazy thing for a history class, and it just stays with me endlessly. It just seemed like she only made a couple of small, well-meant mistakes, and her life just sucked her down into the pit. Just a few degrees off each time, and she wound up miles away from heaven.
