Posted: 4/15/06 at 2:12pmI saw the title of this thread and I immediately thought of "Your Daddy's Son." Second one: "I Don't Care Much" from Cabaret.

Posted: 4/15/06 at 2:25pm"I Wish I Could Forget You" Hell...the whole Passion score, the prayer at the end of Parade, Last Midnight, way more I'm not thinking of.

"Music of the Night" is pretty haunting when the Phantom is just kind of whisper-singing. Kinda creepy...
And for some reason "Coalhouse's Soliloquy" seems haunting. You're just kind of like, "Coalhouse, please don't go kill anyone. I know you are angry, but let's keep it real here, okay?"
No one is alone.

Posted: 4/15/06 at 3:55pmI agree with Buffy, the whole Passion score, but more specifically, "I Read" and "I Wish I Could Forget You."

"Rose's Turn" - Gypsy
I don't know, it doesn't exactly have the "haunting" sound that's been talked about, but think about all she goes through in that one song! Haunts me...
Love,
Miss Britt

Posted: 4/15/06 at 5:39pmThe end of "I'd give my Life For You" in Miss Saigon, where the boat-people are chanting has always seemed really haunting to me.

The bit in WIW that starts "Her tale is truly sorrowful", where Glyde tells the tale of Anne Catherick is pretty haunting. Especially the "And I am grateful for your help" at the end.
