[Caution]

I Surrender by Celine Dion has a somewhat haunting vibe to it.

 

[ross_1986]

"Forgiven" - Alanis Morrisette (This is haunting and beautiful)
"Everytime" - Britney Spears (I actually think this is her best song)
"Looking In" - Mariah Carey (This is much different than her other ballads)
"Earth Song" - Michael Jackson (This used to scare me b/c of how he sang the chorus, lol)
"You'll See" - Madonna (This gives me goosebumps. As does 'Frozen'. Theyre boh gorgeous)
"One Last Breath" - Creed (I don't know why)

 

[prettyboysing]

"Treat Me Well", "Nada One" and "Lighter Touch" by Heart. I guess any Heart song with a three syllable title ("Mistral Wind" works, too)

 

[sean penn]

madonna:

to have and not to hold
inside of me
live to tell
spanish eyes
in this life
this used to be my plaground
sanctuary
mer girl
forbbiden love
gone
nothing fails
take a bow
rain
bad girl
something to remember
i want you
you'll see
x-static process
frozen
power of goodbye
