    That's the "Songs" version is it not?

    Yeeah, on the Songs CD its the slow version but on the album 'Begin To Hope' Samson is just the same but faster and its not as pretty as the slowed down version.

    Simon and Garfunkel - Bright Eyes ...though for some it may bring back memories of Watership Down which certainly isn't a 'pretty' film.

    My mum used to sing that to mewhen I was a kid.

    It still brings tears to my eyes :crying: :) Kind of a sad, but happy feeling.

    I quite like Bloc Party - This Modern Love, too.

    Best song on that album. I suppose Blue Light is quite a 'pretty' track too.


    I'd probably say something like Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

    LOL

    Pretty as in a flower wilting in the autumn twilight can be. :)

    I am enjoying the individual interpretations of "pretty". Gives a nice cross section of the online society.

    I like the new Snow Patrol song, ft. Martha Wainwright - Set The Fire To The Third Bar.

    But its not doing much to 'lift' my mood at the moment.

    I've always found the prettiest Paul Simon song to be 59th Bridge Street Song (Feelin' Groovy) but there are so, so many. Still Crazy After All These Years, American Tune, The Boxer, The Only Living Boy in New York.

    I also love Duncan - more for the instrumental parts rather than the lyrics, but I find "my father was a fisherman, my momma was a fisherman's friend" very cute :)

    Bob Dylan - Visions of Johanna, You Angel You, and Mr Tambourine Man

    "Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
    Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
    The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
    Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
    Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
    Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
    With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
    Let me forget about today until tomorrow."

    Sting - Shape of My Heart
    Tom Paxton - The Last Thing on my Mind
    Tom Waits - Martha, Little Trip to Heaven (On the Wings of Your Love)
    Devendra Banhart - Korean Dogwood
    Van Morrison - Into the Mystic
    Belle & Sebastian - Piazza, New York Catcher
    The Saw Doctors - Red Cortina
    Ben Harper - When She Believes
    Flying Burrito Brothers w/ Gram Parsons - Wild Horses
    The Earlies - Wayward Song
    I Am Kloot - To You
    Joan Baez & Judy Collins - Oh, Had I A Golden Thread
    Leonard Cohen - Joan of Arc
