I Should Tell You from RENT has always sounded very haunting to me.
Of course:
Your Daddy's Son - Ragtime
The Beauty Is (Reprise) - The Light In The Piazza
Goodbye Until Tomorrow/I Could Never Rescue You along with several of the sad songs from The Last 5 Years
Basically everything in Sweeney
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables
Last Midnight and Lament

Posted: 4/15/06 at 10:01pmI TOTALLY agree with the first guy, Roger246, with "Your Daddy's Son". My choir director played that for us a few weeks ago, and I was floored.

Posted: 4/15/06 at 11:22pmOh! And the final Ballad of Sweeney Todd - particularly on the revival recording. "No one can help, nothing can hide you/Isn't that Sweeney there beside you" - if that isn't haunting enough..
#34re: Haunting songs?
Posted: 4/16/06 at 2:29amAh I third "Goodbye Until Tomorrow" and would like to also specifically add "Nobody Needs To Know"... that whole song gives me the chills.
