TV Personalities - The Day The Dolphins Leave The Sea



May well sneak in to the shoegaze theme too...

 

[tinycowboy]

Did someone say shoegaze?

Almost jinks there...

 

[Baron Pepperpot]

Goodness me Baron, that one's come from leftfield!

Oh, I know. Fits the ambition of the thread, even if the genre is unique to a solitary poster !

 

[Flex Your Head]

TV Personalities - Strangely Beautiful



The re-mix version (which I can't find anywhere online) was going to be one of my funeral songs (he said, cheerily).

All genres welcome - we can't have a closed shop on melancholy joy.

 

[Baron Pepperpot]

HOW could I have forgotten this one. It perfectly fits the thread, and it's only my ALL TIME favorite single......

If you haven't heard it before, it's four minutes you'll agree well spent.

Eels - Railroad Man



Defines melancholy.

 

[tinycowboy]

Were you in a band?

Yes, but we never made it out of our garage. We would have been huge.

I thought you'd taken against the TVPs?

Eels - Things The Grandchildren Should Know



Tear-jerkingly, spine-tinglingly majestic.

Can't deny genius when you hear it.

 

[Flex Your Head]

Possibly my favourite ever TVPs track.
