Have you ever fallen in love with a song, even before you ever heard it? I have. I have been in the car and driving along, minding my own business and a song will start and I have no idea what it is but I love it. I think it has to do with a haunting piano melody. Maybe not even just haunting piano, but just a haunting melody that tends to be a piano or string melody.
Take, for example, my newest love: 9 Crimes by Damien Rice. If you know the song, you know what I mean by a haunting piano intro. And though the intro (and song itself) are haunting me now as I write this because I want so much to hear it, I notice this is not a new trend at all for me. Allow me to list some examples.
1. It's All Understood by Jack Johnson
2. 4 Leaf Clover by Badly Drawn Boy (okay, it's not a haunting piano portion, but it's catchy)
3. The obvious 9 Crimes by Damien Rice.
4. Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley (not really piano but still haunting melody)
5. Lovers in a Dangerous Time by Bare Naked Ladies
I'm sure this list goes on but I can't think of all the songs I know all at the same time.
