"I Believe She Will" by Eddie & Ernie (thx John Peel) "Truth Is Marching In"/"Our Prayer" by Albert Ayler
Both are contenders for continually putting a lump in my throat.

"pink frost," the chills "computer love," kraftwerk "child of the ghetto," horace andy "new broom," horace andy "my only friend," opal "alberto balsalm," aphex twin "wet tip hen ax," aphex twin

Tom Waits - Innocent When You Dream (78 Version)
I agree, but I think the Barroom version is sooooo much better!!! He seems to sing the chorus differently in the 78 one, pronouncing the "when you dream" part in some kind of flat way that doesn't hit me as hard as it does in the barroom one.
The first time I heard the song (the barroom version) was in the film Smoke, during Harvey Keitel's monologue story at the end of them... it almost had me in tears.
Also: "alberto balsalm," aphex twin "wet tip hen ax," aphex twin
completely OTM, see also "Fingerbib" on the RDJ album

Hello [on a cellphone], greetings, it's me, an outlaw, I ask you, my love, to accept happiness. Hello, hello, it's me, Picasso, I sent you a beep [cellphone signal], and I'm brave [or strong], But you should know that I'm not asking for anything from you.
You want to leave but you don't want don't want to take me, don't want don't want to take me, don't want don't want don't want to take me. Your face and the love from the linden trees, And I remember your eyes.
I call you [over the phone], to tell you what I feel right now, Hello, my love, it's me, your happiness. Hello, hello, it's me again, Picasso, I sent you a beep [cellphone signal] and I'm brave [or strong], But you should know that I'm not asking for anything from you.

I like "Cupid de Locke" by smashing pumpkins. At the moment, that's my choice. A few years ago I would have said "Agateis Byrjun" or however you spell it.
I apologize for criticizing someone's choice of Pink Floyd upthread. I was in a bitchy state of mind that day.

Some neglected bands+songs on this thread:
Mogwai - either 2 Rights Make 1 Wrong or Kids Will Be Skeletons Yes - And You And I The The - Lonely Planet Bark Psychosis - Rose Mercury Rev - Frittering
Nice to see the new(ish) Eluvium album with some representation here, but I'd have chosen 'Indoor Swimming At The Space Station' rather than 'Repose In Blue' myself.

I would now have to add a couple of Vashti Bunyan songs to my picks above - especially "Glow Worms" and the demo version of "Winter Is Blue."
Also: Radiohead's "Everything In Its Right Place" and "Pyramid Song." Both beautiful and nightmarish.

Follow me through A city of frost-covered angels I swear I have nothing to prove I just want to dance in your tangles To give me some reason to move But to take on the world at all angles Requires a strength I can't use So I'll meet you up high in your anger Of all that is hoping and waiting for you
not sure about the music, but right now, that verse seems like the most perfect series of words ever written (lol emo)
