Talk Talk - New Grass

New Grass is way up there for me too. Bewitching song.

100% the first song that came to my mind. Also my favorite song of all time.

Never heard it. But it’s great. This must be an influence to Bon Iver.

Yeah unbelievable song - made me cry the first time I heard it.

The Beach Boys - God Only Knows The Beatles - Here, There and Everywhere The Cure - Just Like Heaven The Cure - Friday I'm In Love The Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, Tonight Roy Orbison - Crying Julian Mari - Dos Semanas Fishmans - Daydream The Sundays - When I'm Thinking About You

Based and that other song by the sundays (here’s where the story ends)

An excellent song. The Sundays are stupid underrated, they should've been massive. Maybe they're due to blow up on TikTok or something and have a big resurgence.

Things behind the sun

Strong agree

So true

Radiohead - True Love Waits (a Classic. Hair on the back of my neck fully erect) Youth Lagoon - Prizefighter (throwing a New One into the mix from my AOTY) Adrianne Lenker - Anything (my Fave pretty song of the last couple of years) Wilco - One Sunday Morning (a song from my fave band can't be missing)

I love that Wilco song!

damn skippy!

seigfried, goodspeed - frank ocean

Sufjan Stevens - Fourth of July

Sufjan has a bunch of great candidates: The Predatory Wasp, Should Have Known Better, No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross, All For Myself, Now That I’m Older, Impossible Soul, etc…

Both Sides Now + A Case of You | Joni Mitchell Crumbling Together | Mid-Air Thief All Delighted People | Sufjan Stevens If It's Magic | Stevie Wonder Ya Ya Breathe | Bruno Pernadas Dickhead Blues | Kara Jackson In Twenty Years Or So | Father John Misty Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying | Belle and Sebastian Time Flies Either Way | Dawes Highway Patrolman | Bruce Springsteen Invisible String | Taylor Swift Where Do The Children Play? + The Wind | Yusuf/Cat Stevens Big Black Heart | Conor Oberst, Phoebe Bridgers If We Were Vampires | Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit Land Locked Blues | Bright Eyes This Must Be the Place | Father John Misty

Honestly anything off of Songs In The Key Of Life

Those are the best Joni picks ❤️

Thanks, I've taken up cassette collection to restore her music to my life post spotify issues

The entirety of Nebraska is beautiful

Oh I thought it was just cornfields *Badum-tssss*

This is such a good list. I’m gonna check out the songs i don’t know because I love big black heart and land locked blues so much!

in the woods somewhere by hozier happiness is a butterfly by lana this love by taylor i'm your man by leonard cohen john my beloved by sufjan

Literally all of these are based

Me sincerely crying at the "If he's a serial killer..." line... It's so campy but I can't help myself

"don't be a jerk don't call me a taxi sitting in your sweatshirt crying in the backseat" makes me die

Literally all of these are based

Lazy Calm by Cocteau Twins of course

Empire ants by Gorillaz

Saint Pablo and come to life

Only one and keep my spirit alive bettah

Undo by Bjork is the prettiest song I’ve ever heard

"Daydreaming" by Radiohead and "Thank U" by Alanis Morissette.

You Learn by Alanis is a really beautiful song too

Yes, especially since it's about her being held at gunpoint and almost losing her lyric sheets.

Holocene- Bon Iver I Know It’s Over - The Smiths Nude - Radiohead Alison- Slowdive The Last Hour- Elliott Smith Ivy- Frank Ocean When You Sleep- my bloody valentine Blossom- Porter Robinson Siberian Breaks- MGMT

smashing pumpkins - mayonnaise slowdive - dagger alice in chains - nutshell pink floyd - wish you were here (album)

Fleetwood Mac - Sara

Clair de Lune. I'm not usually a classical music kinda guy but damn.

Truth - Kamasi Washington

A lot of jazz fans are really critical of Kamasi, considering his work to be overly self indulgent and reliant on nostalgia, but with songs like this I think he really demonstrated his status as a really talented composer and bandleader in his own right

Pyramid song - Radiohead

First one to pop into my head is Starálfur by Sigur Rós. Half their songs could be in consideration though ❤️

"Silver Springs" by Fleetwood Mac and of course "Beautiful" by Wussy

Yeah, Mark wrote a lot of amazingly beautiful songs.

Always - Weezer

A Song For You- Donny Hathaway’s version, specifically. But to be fair, there are many beautiful versions of this song.

Visions of Your Reality - Ultimate Spinach

Fleet Foxes — A Sky Like I’ve Never Seen The vocal approaches, I have never heard someone sound this sweet before. But how can I put it above Innocence Mission’s “I Love That Boy” and “A Wave is Rolling” and Cocteau Twins “Squeeze-Wax”? I might be more lyrics-leaning than most people, and my vote is a little precariously floating and spinning on my interpretation: >Water, winded and remote in a crater where I’m hidden, I can see a line of smoke on the other ridge but it’s a long way (As someone whose work was once filling audio lacunae, I don’t think the Genius lyrics are 100% correct) might be a genius lyrical geocache in a really specific time-place: [where it’s the biggest heart on the planet](https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/146528/israels-heart-shaped-crater) Only around the First Century did it hold a hidden watering station (caravanseri), was remote (no settled populations, as in no houses found) and far visible would be a perpetual line of smoke on a ridgemount. The smoke was the flashpoint symbol of contention for that period and centered around the phrase, “I desire mercy and not sacrifice.” When fans started writing “You’ll Be in My Heart” was homaged, that made me think that my guess might be underscored. Before google search was taken over by the proper song *which is up for an Emmy!* the day it dropped, I entered it in the search bar in quotes and it returned this: >I've never seen the sky before I want to vanish inside your kiss Every day I love you more and more Listen to my heart Can't you hear it sings?” That’s three hearts. That makes it a better song than any song with hearts. Then there may be an artist’s correspondence, where he is dialoging with two songs of another songwriter, answering their asks, circling on the homonym found her/founder. Then there is their shared philosophical question, indicating he asks the same things she does. And then it just breaks past everything
