To ask which songs stopped you in your tracks the first time heard you them?

[AngeloMysterioso]

Was listening to some music today and after my playlist was finished Spotify went off on its own little algorithm-y journey, and I suddenly found myself listening to a song so beautiful I had it on repeat for about an hour. That sort of thing happens to me very rarely, so I thought I’d see if anyone else could recommend songs that have struck them in a similar way.

It’s certainly not an album for the faint hearted. I never tire of the drum beat on Leave it Open!

Ooh and just today - The Age Of Worry - Yebba ❤️

Orig by John Mayer apparently, Yebba is 👌👌👌👌 though

Aaah, Aznavour! Love him. That voice! That vibrato! 'What makes a man' stopped me in my tracks.

Chvrches How not to drown featuring Robert Smith. I could listen to that on repeat all day.

In no particular order...
Vapour Trail - Ride
Kids in America - Kim Wilde
Afterlife - Arcade Fire
Atmosphere - Joy Division
What time is Love - KLF
Higher State of Consciousness - Josh Wink
Proserpina - Martha Wainwright
The Night We Met - Lord Huron
Love Song - The Cure
Rabbit Heart - Florence & The Machine
St Swithin's Day - Dubstar Version
Temptation - New Order

I think it may have been used in some films and possibly adverts too.

I love to listen to it while watching the waves crashing onto the small island where I live 😊

This just happened to me on Sunday - Taylor Swift's 'Fate of Ophelia'!

I remember her from the start (I am 54) and this is one of her greatest songs, IME! Magnificent. And the video equally as brilliant.

@Starlight1984

Find the River - REM

I hadn't played this album for years and my son, 19 just bought it for his car. Such a wonderful song! Such a great album.

Nebraska by Lucy Rose
Peach Plum Pear by Joanna Newsom
A Painting of the Wind by Me Lost Me

All of these moved me the first time I heard them.

Losing It by Ren. My gods that guy can chop.

"Sound of silence" by Disturbed - stunning version with brilliant video.

Also "Paint it black" by Royal Philharmonic - yes, really!!

Ren is extraordinary.

Wondering why by The Red Clay Strays.
Beautiful words......

Kate Bush.... Cloudbusting
Tracey Chapman... Why

You still got me Beth Hart

Spinning away by Brian eno
le vent nous portera by noir desir
Ring the bells by James
Moving by supergrass
Trains to Brazil by the Guillemots

At Seventeen is just an amazing song. Timeless because it's relevant more than ever

Love it!

Mumford and Sons - I will wait.
i just love it - makes me all goosepimples!!!!

The Whole of the Moon will forever live rent free in my head as Graham Norton playing a guitar wielding, crazily upbeat priest on the episode of Father Ted when they are camping in the pouring rain.

Yebba, My Mind. Couldn't quite believe that someone could be that good live

I weal up everytime I hear Lewis Capaldi’s “Survive”. After his unfortunate time at Glastonbury, to come back with such a moving song takes some doing and is a good message to all of us that have had our struggles

For The Smiths fans, Suffer Little Children. So melancholy, and rightfully so. Speaking of Morrissey, I had never heard of The Smiths when I heard Suedehead on a Now album and became an instant convert. Also Kirsty McColl’s Kite album.

Lord Huron - Long lost..

It just resonates with me as an introvert.

These songs, when first hearing them, made me stop what I was doing and listen.

ABC - All of my heart
Visage - Fade to grey
Human League - Love action
Tears for Fears - Mad world
Depeche Mode - New life
