We have 5 pairs of tickets to giveaway to Hope Sandoval's show at the Historic 6th and I Street Synagogue on October 14th! FIVE PAIRS!
Remember when you heard Mazzy Star's "Fade Into You" and you just couldn't stop FEELING?
You can score a pair of tickets if you can tell us a song that makes you FEEL even more than that classic
I'll go first: it's a tie between Beirut's "Mt. Wroclai" and Tori Amos "Cornflake Girl"--- TORI FTW though who are we kidding.

God loves a cheerful giver.
I can't go, but Jeff Buckley's version of "Hallelujah" makes me weep like a little girl watching her teddy bear immolate itself and I felt like I had to share that on here.
Also, Jawbox's cover of "Cornflake Girl" is pretty much fucking amazing.
yo la tengo's "our way to fall"
goddamn, that song is beautiful
Low's Words
what's all this pussy shit?
the sundays cover of "wild horses" comes to mind from back in the day. more recently, i would have to say"the story" by brandi carile.....that one gets me every time.
hurt - the johnny cash version
"Sleep All Summer" by the National And St. Vincent
could die to this song
m.ward- "poison cup"
I hope I am not too LATE!!!!! I want to see HOPE!!!! I remember when I first heard Apple Orchard by Beach House. I thought I'd never get over that song. I still get that FEELING when, after a long while of not hearing it, it comes on and the New England sunshine coming in the window just so and it is as if I am hearing it for the very first time.
oh oh. Now I get it. Something maudlin.
“The feeling's gone and I just cannot get it back” by Johnny Cash. This would drive mi mujer to tears so I'd go to fix cocktails for relief.
Ida - "Tellings"
Not only can literally anyone claim the (well-written) lyrics relevant to a certain point in their life, but the harmonies between Elizabeth Mitchell and Daniel Littleton are pretty much unmatched by any other band.
If only I had somehow been cool enough as a 12 year old in 1996 to stumble upon Simple Machines recs. Anyway, Ida's "I Know About You" album is easily up there with Mazzy Star's "So Tonight That I Might See" in terms of albums that will remain in constant rotation until I'm too old and senile to remember how to work a turntable.
I kinda need these tickets.
Unless she was to drive a car.
Red House Painters -- Have You Forgotten (the version from Vanilla Sky)
The Cure "A Few Hours After This" ...have to retouch my mascara every time.
Libby - so right. I think I wrote about the time I wept at hearing "Postcards from Italy," but the Angolan sun in our eyes kept anyone from knowing. Anyway. Yeah.
But, the song that does the most FEEL for me still is the original single mix of Ceremony by New Order. Those opening bass notes kill me every time. And the more you know about the backstory, the sadder.
On a lighter note:
Richard X - Into U (Feat. Jarvis Cocker)
MAPS, YEAH YEAH YEAHS
