Music That Stops You Dead In Your Tracks

Yes yes of course Ed and Pearl Jam - good post, fab song, deliriously good soundtrack.
I believe Ed knows about the combinations of notes that reek of ascension. There are pieces on that soundtrack that accomplish that feat.

They get it.

This right here.......Carl Sagan+music= awesome, now If they would only make some Terrence Mckenna songs...a man can dream right?

I like that a lot. It's amazing how music is that universal. I have no idea what he's saying but it makes sense through the notes. Reminds me of this:

Me and my buddies play this song almost every weekend and it can still bring a tear to my eye

DieBravely et al:

This music not only stops me dead; it does this to others in close proximity--from my belting out my voice & their dismay to my traipsing around in my absorption--so much so that I have to go outside, in my car, or to the shower.

These influenced me in my youth, and are on my mind after this past weekend's visit with a childhood friend:

Oh, did I mention that they also distract/sidetrack me as well?

In no certain order:

Tom Waits - Make It Rain (Letterman appearance)


Willie Nelson featuring Ray Charles - Seven Spanish Angels (Live)


P Nutty - The Sleep (this dude has got some wicked flow!)

I think this fits your description:

Hauntingly beautifull, changed my life and stops me in my tracks, always has and always will.

this song just hits the spot. its bizzy bone so its rap music for all you rock music fans.



this is from when a toy I had when I was a toddler. twist it up.

This song doesn't just stop you in your tracks, it rips up the tracks and brushes it's teeth with it.

BLOW YOUR SPEAKERS!

Whenever this song comes on in my playlist, I have difficulty concentrating
on what I was doing. Love it.
