Songs you can get lost in and you don't want to find your way out

Great thread title, I will come back to you.

 

David Crosby Cowboy Movie
Procol Harum In Held 'Twas In I (live)
Pink Floyd Echoes
Pink Floyd Atom Heart Mother
Public Service Broadcasting Go!

 

clair de lune - claude debussy

 

Arcade Fire - AfterLife
Church - Priest = Aura
Flaming Lips - Watching the Planets

 

Close To The Edge
- Yes

Who hasn’t listened to this amazing music, with headphones, while lost in the incredible artwork of Roger Dean, as a bonus?

Then, close your eyes...

 

I find many of My Morning Jacket songs to be that way. For some reason I find it easy to get "into" their songs and once "in" I do like to hang out
The imagery from Okonokos doesn't hurt either

 

The Doors - The End ...........

 

Lately for me, its been the 20 minute opener on the Virginia Wing / XAM Duo Tomorrow's Gift record, "Birch Polygon", the vinyl sounds really nice, with big billowy clouds of sound ... I know, hard to get too lost on a youtube video, but still fun ...

 

Wings, "The Note You Never Wrote"

 

Spirit - Aren't You Glad.

 

Led Zeppelin - Kashmir .....

 

Armand Amar - La Terre vue du ciel
The most recent piece that meets the OP's criterion, IMHO. I first heard this through the Olympic Games.

 

I started to say this, but changed my mind. Some songs have a perfect beginning, middle and end. Yeah you want to hear them again and again, but since the end is so good you kinda WANT them to end.

It's the longer more proggy type songs that create an atmosphere that you can get 'lost' in. Pink Floyd comes to mind. I would also say a lot of the longer Opeth and Porcupine Tree songs are like that for me.

 

+1
And there are so many!

 

Great thread. I love this quality about certain songs. This one struck me the other day...



Hiss Golden Messenger - O Little Light

 

Every Burt Bacharach song.

 

GD - Dark Star
Traffic - Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
Dylan - Highlands
Hendrix- Machine Gun
Allman Bros -Dreams
Van - Purple Heather
Marley and Wailers - Natural Mystic
John Martyn -Small Hours
The Doors - Indian Summer

 

I was just re-listening to Van Morrison's "Madame George" yesterday and got the feeling mentioned in the thread title. I get the same feeling of overwhelming beauty every time I listen:
