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

This is a great pick because there are so many different versions and segments, including countless creative fan mixes out there. Lately, I've been really digging the live-in-the-studio take from the Sunshine Tomorrow set, a more restrained, mellow version.

When I saw this thread title, I naturally tended to think of longer tracks that it is already easy to get lost in, like Zappa's "Dupree's Paradise", King Crimson's "Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part 1", Can's "Pinch" or "One More Night". John Martyn has some great jams in this vein too, like "I'd Rather Be The Devil", "Outside In" and "Big Muff", as does his Island label-mates Traffic (like "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys"). Another one that I love to bliss out to is Fleetwood Mac's "Albatross"--it's like a natural sedative after a stressful day.

 

The Crimson song I get lost in is Fracture.

 

Yes - Heart of the Sunrise
Zappa - Son of Mr. Green Genes
Jack Bruce - Theme from an Imaginary Western
Neil Young - Don't Let It Bring You Down
Bowie - The Bewlay Brothers
Moby Grape - I Am Not Willing
Beck - Cold Brains

 

Moody Blues - Nights In White Satin
The The - Kingdom Of Rain
The Mission - Tower Of Strength
Fleetwood Mac - Hypnotized
Fields Of The Nephilim - Sumerland
The Cure - Burn
Dire Straits - Ride Across The River / Tunnel Of Love
Crowded House - Private Universe
Radiohead - House Of Cards
Fluke - Setback
Talk Talk - Time It's Time

 

Yes - And You and I.

 

Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Such a sad song but what amazing Lyrics. It makes me feel as if I'm on the boat with those doomed sailors.

 

A/K/A "Rhubarb", correct? Fantastic track. I think a lot of work from Aphex Twin/AFX is genius, and fits into this thread nicely

 

Message To My Girl - Split Enz

 

Dire Straits - "You And Your Friend".

 

MacArthur Park - Richard Harris
Take a Pebble - Emerson, Lake and Palmer
Bolero - Maurice Ravel
Those Were the Days - Mary Hopkin

 

Don't no any Split enz, but Message to my girl it's self is cool.

 

so many of course but here's a couple songs that i haven't heard in a long time but really like. to me they have that get lost in them quality.

Wildflower by Skylark
How Much I Feel by Ambrosia

 

why do so many Underworld, Aphex twin, Orbital stop when they don't need to

 

The Abbey Road Medley comes to mind.

 

Slip Inside This House - 13th Floor Elevators

 

Love that song! What a nice pick!

Well, of course, it’s no Cook of the House...

 

And I’ll chime in here with my pick...Wind Chimes!

 

But...but...you gotta get out, fast! It’s going down!

 

Fortunately it's 11 minutes long, so it takes a while to find your way out

I've described it before as "I think my bones are melting, but in a good way"

 

The Remembering - Yes
By and By I Touch The Sky - Ant-Bee

 

Black Cadillac-Rosanne Cash
Over and Over-Neil Young/Crazy Horse
Heartbeat City-The Cars
Vox Humana-Gary Burton Quintet
Don't Talk-10,000 Maniacs

Interiors (The entire album)-Rosanne Cash
On Every Street-Dire Straits
Darling Pretty-Mark Knopfler
Waiting In Vain-Annie Lennox
Amelia-Joni Mitchell

Plus thousands more....

 

John Fahey "Impressions of Susan"

 

I think All Too Well is the best example of a Taylor Swift tune to get lost in.
