(I had to make sure it wasn't spoiled already :angel: )

okay, Bonus question:

what piece of classical music was used at the beginning of the song (before the lyrics start)?

Because that's not Rachmaninoff ;)

you could get one or two chocolate cookies out of that :D

In the video the piece playing at the start is, I believe, from Rimsky-Korsakov's arrangement of Mussorgsky's A Night on Bald Mountain, also the theme song of The Toxic Avenger.

"World In My Eyes" - Depeche Mode

"Rebellion (Lies)" - Arcade Fire So many great songs on Funeral its hard to choose...I had it narrowed down to this one and "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)" but this is a little bit more accessible.

Why don't we do a Special Russian Classical Music Top Ten? Bald Mountain is one of my favourites! :)

"Geno" - Dexy's Midnight Runners (1980)

I was about to nominate "Come On Eileen", which is a classic of its time, but I much prefer Dexy's "Young Soul Rebel" period than the raggle-taggle gypsy "Too-Rye-Aye" stuff that came afterwards.

"Your Ghost" - Kristin Hersh (feat. Michael Stipe)

"Your Ghost"

If I walk down this hallway

Tonight it's too quiet

So I pat through the dark

And call you on the phone

Push your old number

And let your house ring

Till I wake your ghost

Let him walk down your hallway

It's not this quiet

Slide down your receiver

Stand across the wire

Follow my number

Slide into my hand

It's the blaze across my nightgown

It's the phone's ring

Chorus:

I think last night

you were driving circles around me (x3)

I can't drink this coffee

Till I put you in my closet

Let him shoot me down

Let him call me off

I take it from his whisper

You're not that tough

It's the blaze across my nightgown

It's the phone's ring

Chorus:

You were in my dream (I think last night)

You were driving circles around me (x5)

They Live in You - The Lion King

This song is from the Broadway production of the Lion King and I think it's very touching. Basically, it's a song about how your ancestors and loved ones never leave you, but guide you through life

Another very moving Disney song. One that took me a long time to not cry while listening to. It's from Toy Story 2, when Jessie tells the story of how she went from beloved best friend to discarded junk

When She Loved Me - Sarah MacLachlan
