Songs that take you to another world

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm fairly new to TB so hello everyone! Anyway I want you to list your favorite songs that just seem to put you in a different world. The kind of song that you can get lost in, and lose all other train of thought. Of course everyone will have a different idea of what I mean, but post what you think. Here's mine:

Planet Caravan - Black Sabbath
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW3pZjmS3rg

Reflection - Tool
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-885aiY3ZY

No Quarter - Led Zeppelin
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKOngTfTMs0

Is there anybody out there - Pink Floyd particularly the guitar solo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpy7seH5Hc8

Set the controls for the heart of the sun - Live at Pompeii version - Pink Floyd
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtIBZNl3DY4

Actually really all of Live at Pompeii fits into this imo.
There's definitely lots of others, but I think this is a decent list to start us off.

Another world?

How about to a better time - the past when my wife was still alive.

"Into The Mystic" by Van Morrison. (Cover - - Morrison will not allow any of his vids to appear on YouTube!)

Great bass line and haunting melody.

1970 or so and cruising in my '59 Cadillac, top down, in Long Beach on a warm balmy night and that song came on the radio.

<sigh>

Make the changes I've indicated above and we'll get along just fine.

There are a whole lot but probably
India - John Coltrane live at the village vanguard. (Chasin The Trane from this same gig does the same thing)
Or The Weight by The Band. There are many many many though. Wasn't Born To Follow by The Byrds! Especially in Easy Rider

There are a load of the prog classics that take me away; bands like Pink Floyd, (early) Genesis, (early) Yes, The Who (especially Quadrophenia).

In the present time, Porcupine Tree does it for me more than I've ever experienced. Songs like:
Fear of a Blank Planet
Way Out of Here
Anesthetize
Deadwing
Glass Arm Shattering
The Blind House
Flicker
Black Dahlia

Porcupine Tree are masters at creating surreal sonic landscapes.

"Cowboy Star" from Ambrosia's second album "Somewhere I've Never Traveled" (1976). An Alan Parsons production that sounds amazing in headphones. My band takes an occasional runouts to Arizona, Utah and other points Southwest. When on the road I like to put this on when we leave civilization and start driving thru "scenery". This track will put you right in a western movie. Joe Puerta's bass playing is very tasty. His and David Pack's vocals are in great form here. Required listening.

+1. Porcupine Tree have been a favorite of mine for some time for this very reason.

Lately, its been Sé Lest by Sigur Rós. The combination of xylophone, piano and Jonsi's voice is just mmmmmm...ive spaced out several times listening to this whilst driving around, heh.

Songs that always take me away include

Megalomania - Muse
Comforting Sounds, Repeaterbeater - Mew
The Strand, The Frame, pretty much all of Effloresce(i listened to it literally every day on my way to high school) - Oceansize
Voices in Winter/In the Realms of the Divine - Pure Reason Revolution

And probably most of all,
Pyramid Song - Radiohead
