Title: Your top slow songs?
Post by: redman555 on April 11, 2011, 09:46:02 PM

So no matter how much of a classic rocker or metal head you are, like myself, you have to have at least a few slow songs. So what are they for you guys?

There are many slow songs that I love.....

Currently:

Faith No More's cover of the Commodore's "Easy"

David Gates and Bread - Guitar Man

Carole King - Jazzman

Third Eye Blind - I Want You (not really that slow but love it just the same)

Eva Cassidy - Time After Time (she probably had the purest tone of any female vocalist ever IMO)

This is a very haunting tune, written in the "Old Scottish Waltz Style"
Written in 1982 by Jay Unger. The song moved Ken Burns so much,
it was included in the music of The Civil War.
He also used it in the Documentary, "Howie Long"
Ashokan Farewell

and say what you will about the French, but they know how to light a fire. Don't worry if you don't know what the heck their saying.  You could say "Madamoiselle votre oreilles sont comme tetes de poisson" and she'll melt.

You really can't beat the simple intimacy of guitar and voice.

Unfortunately it's hard to find the best recordings of some of these songs on Youtube.
