The only recommendation I can give you is to go to [www.pandora.com](http://www.pandora.com) and put that particular song in. It’ll give you songs that sound similar to that. ---

That is a haunting tune. Somewhat similar: \*Julia \*by the Beatles: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af4Plq\_iYx4](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af4Plq_iYx4) \*Whispering Pines \*by the Band: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDyLukweBGw](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDyLukweBGw) Donovan’s _Sunny Goodge Street_: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ivA\_203H18](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ivA_203H18) _Avalon_ by Roxy Music: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zJdbpzfJMs](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zJdbpzfJMs) ---

That was beautiful. I love Pink Floyd. You want haunting? [Here’s haunting](http://www.myspace.com/happyrhodes). (or, [here’s](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNHrlFsVuZc) a fan-made video, though not by me) Here’s [something](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUj31Io91Xs) a bit more melodic, by the band Hex (Steve Kilby and Donette Thayer). ---

You may like some songs by the band Broadcast: [Pendulum](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEHfKGM1QdU&NR=1) [Long Was the Year](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX7M17wCqrU) [Come on Let’s Go](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqOS7FIliCY&NR=1) [Papercuts](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5ZJ-N750Bk&feature=related) They have lots of other good songs on there too, if you decide you like them. ---

Love that, **MadTheSwine**. How about [Talk to the Wind](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9ghKS5UxmM), or [Girl With No Eyes](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7ixKWmYux8)? ---

I’d probably refer to that general style as “psych folk” or possibly “acid folk”, so you might want to do some searching around those terms. I’m not a huge fan of that style, so I don’t have too many recommendations. However, you might want to check out the Acid Mothers Temple album _Do Whatever You Want, Don’t Do Whatever You Don’t Want_; it’s a “friends and relations” compilation album that has a number of songs that may fit your criteria. ---

One more: [Sly](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZceVm0q3vEE) by Massive Attack It’s not an exact match of course, but I tranced out to it a few times before developing immunity. ---

> [@Baal\_Houtham](#): > > One more: > > [Sly](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZceVm0q3vEE) by Massive Attack I think pretty much all of Massive Attack qualifies. Such good stuff. ---

And I woke up with the line “Willow weeping in the water” going through my mind… The song is [Cirrus Minor](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daKRz2w4D44), it’s by that English group with the funny name.
