Most Haunting Music Video Ever
Hurt - Johnny Cash
 
Here's another batch with videos. I think the forum software only let's you embed 5 videos, so here goes.

Decendents - Without Love (Punk) These guys have been around since the late 70s, often writing goofy songs about fishing and coffee and occasionally getting more serious. Fun fact, the singer is a chemist.


MxPx - Moments Like These (Pop Punk) I was introduced to this band when I was a young teenager and it set me on a path to all sorts of underground music. This song is exactly the video is about and remembering all the good times in our lives.


Sum 41 - Pieces (Pop Punk) This song was released in 2004, but prophetical with people living their lives on social media and missing reality. They were the last band I was able to see before mass events were shut down.


Asking Alexandria - Moving On (Hard Rock) This song has strong vibes from Bob Segar - Turn the Page, but heavier. Same theme using the road weary musician as a metaphor.


Linkin Park - Crawling (Alternative-Metal) Probably the best depiction of PTSD on pen and paper. I got to see them once, and they put on one of the best, tightest rock shows I have seen. The singer's suicide hit me harder than I expected.
 
Here is another 5, this one some of my favorite guitar solos, I already shared a piece by Stephen Wilson with an incredible solo, so I won't repeat that one.

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb


Dinosaur Jr - Get Me


Eagles - Hotel California


Neil Young- Hey Hey My My


Opeth - Blackwater Park

You guys will think I'm knutz for sure. While a quick, very incomplete scan showed a lot of music and songs that I like, I count my absolute favorites form a very different place. And it is very hard to keep it to 10.

1. "America the Beautiful" I love the traditional 4 verses and can sing them all from memory. I can sing all 3 verses of the National Anthem as well (but not that "missing" 3rd that was recently the subject of such controversy).
2. "It is Well with my Soul" - composed by a grieving pastor on hearing his wife and daughter had been lost at sea.
3. Handel's Messiah. I once got to sing the Hallelujah Chorus with a choir & after much practice we "nailed it". One of the most incredible moments of my life.
4. Randall Thomson's arrangement of Robert Frost's "Choose Something Like a Star". I can still remember this from High school days. My chorus teacher was a woman of tremendous faith and character. Eventually, a little bit distilled into me.
5. "And Can it Be" , a hymn by Charles Wesley
6. "Shepherd's Watch", a Christmas song by Michael Card. The whole Christmas suite "The Promise" concluding with "Immanuel" is quite a unique piece of Christmas music, I like the way he views things.
7. "Creed", by Rich Mullins - an incredible musical version of the Apostles' Creed with his unique style of hammered dulcimer.

Gotta run, more later maybe... Like now!
8. "Peace - A Communion Blessing" by Rich Mullins (again... so many great poetic songs by this fellow.)
9. "Make me an Instrument" - A Ragamuffin Band
10. "Christ the Lord is Risen Today" the classic trumphant Easter Hymn by Chares Wesley.

And I could go on and on. And on. And ON. So, so many that are dear to me that I could not list.

this probably is the very best version of this with a string orchestra and the group and its top form with Alan White, drummer, smashing the cymbals like it's the very last time that he will ever get to play the drums, it is fantastic. I have watched this very many times.
