I always thought "It's Just the Rain" had a haunting quality about it.

I LOVE that song!

The Dance - Garth Brooks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E0-laiA7gI

Probably because I have heard it played so many times during those video montages they put together after a celeb dies.

That one was played at my brother-in-laws funeral, chosen by my ex-husband because he knew his little brother really liked the song. He died tragically in a car accident in his early 30s. Actually had to click it off, still can't listen to it, probably never will be able to. It's a hauntingly beautiful song, but to sad of a memory attached to it.

This one of Perry's was the first one that came to mind....... One More Time http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=BjYyJ8EnHd0

Very poignant lyrics. Applies to a lot missed relationships or lives lost.

That is my favorite song ever. And I am not even a huge Aerosmith fan. But since I was 19, so for about 20 years now, that song has done something for me. It IS haunting because it's a song about getting older!! The music, the lyrics, all of it. And he wrote it when he was young, and I guess that is really impressive too, that he had that insight. It's sad but then still encouraging all at one time! So I pick that one too I guess

Good pick. Unlike a lot of other sad songs, its more haunting in its rockier parts like at 1:05.

I can think of three by Foreigner..."Blinded By Science", "Waiting for a Girl Like You", and "I Want to Know What Love Is" and also the song "Russia" by Shadow King.

I ditto this one too! That song is very emotional for me, if emotional counts as haunting

Right now, I'm watching a Foreigner show from June 1995, Mr. Moonlight tour and that's the song they're currently doing. Great tune.
