Earth-Angel Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Maybe this will sound a bit vague, but I'm looking out for soft songs with feeling. "What the heck is she talking about?!" She's talking about music close to Kent - Quiet heart, Aqualung - Strange & beautiful (I'll put a spell on you), The Feeling - Sewn, The Engineers - How do you say goodbye, Bedroom Walls - do the buildings and cops make you smile? etc. Like Counting Crows, but not depressing, more touchy-feely. Not love songs as such, but songs that make you feel lovely. Any generation, even softer songs from "harder" bands, anything gentle and beautiful really Suggestions?

Earth-Angel Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Thank you Das! Those are superb! I'm going to be very busy on iTunes tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 You reminded me of the acoustic version of "Everlong" by the Foo Fighters. That's a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth-Angel Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Oh, and Cowboy Junkies - Sweet Jane Thanks Das, your list is reminding me of a lot of good ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daslied Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Really, you could go with any Cowboy Junkies. But that first album (Trinity Sessions) is my favorite - recorded live in a church with about 2 microphones, and it's amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheval Noir Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Whenever I read the term "soft rock", I am reminded of groups like Bread, Ambrosia, Seals And Crofts - that sort of thing. I really doubt you wanna hear that kind of musak when you want stuff which sounds like Aqualung Try this on for size: Jackson Browne's "Late For The Sky" (the only non-original song featured in the Taxi Driver score) and Rita Coolidge's "We're All Alone". You'll then know what I'm talkin about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheval Noir Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 I'm gonna go ahead and recommend some more songs, but that are not much related to what you described in your original post. Ha! Just wanting to plug in some of my faves Chris Isaak "Lie To Me" "Wicked Game (Instrumental)" "Can't Do A Thing (To Stop Me)" Roxy Music "Just Like You" "Just Another High" "Avalon" "True To Life" "More Than This" Bryan Ferry "Slave To Love" "Which Way To Turn" "Don't Stop The Dance" "Zamba" Seals And Crofts "Diamond Girl" "Summer Breeze" Steely Dan "Deacon Blues" "Hey Nineteen" "Pixeleen" The Durutti Column "Sketch For Summer" (I love this instrumental) "A Smile In The Crowd" Tuxedomoon "In A Manner Of Speaking" (a little like Aqualung's song) NewOrder! Have you given NewOrder a shot? "Thieves Like Us", "Subculture", "Sooner Than You Think" - heck! The entire Low Life album sounds like something you'd like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
