29/30 Days of Music

[mahogany]

I was stumped by days 25-28, and eventually, I decided to just skip them.

Today's topic: a song that I find creepy.

Well, first, the runners up:

Depeche Mode - Pimpf - It's atmospherically creepy, another DM song, Memphisto is very much like this, but to a lesser degree, and I like it less than Pimpf

Gyorgi Ligeti - Muscia recercata 2nd movt - This was used liberally throughout Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. It's just two notes, but it's menacing and foreboding, like whoah!


The Police - Every Breath You Take - Sorry Sting, but you come of as a creepy stalker dude in this one. "Every move you make, I'll be watching you..." *shudder*


Today's winner is a song that I actually really like, but it too has a stalker-ish vibe to it. "I'll follow you down 'till the sound of my voice will haunt you," yep. Grade "A" el-creepo material, but in all honesty, I've been in that place at one point. Haven't most of us? I guess it's more of a desperate, heartbroken creepiness, versus a the Sting version, which to me, sounds more like a threat.

Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks) - Silver Springs

It's a pretty good album, probably my favorite, but I like at least some spooky songs.
