    What songs do you think have a 'haunting' type of feel to them? (Can be from any genre).

    From my perspective, one that comes to mind is the Beach Boys Don't Worry Baby. The vocals are beautifully spine-tingling but it leaves an unusual uneasy feeling.



    Another one is Nujabes' Luv(sic) Part 6. This time it's the instrumental that leaves behind a dreaded feeling.



    So again, what songs leave behind a haunting feeling?

    we must have very diff ideas as to what makes something sound haunting @Bleed @Ordinary Joel, cause those all sound way too upbeat for me

    when i think haunting I think of something like this stuff

    Yeah I'm probably using the term ineffectively. Basically songs that bring forth strong feelings/emotions.

    I guess it depends on how you look at it, certain type of vibes make it seem haunting.
