Best songs ever (new thread)

Good stuff. I love some of these oldies here. Compared to the things I like from today, they frequently win, because they have that thing they used to call "class". Like when you watch old version of "Hit the road, Jack".
Here is more oldies:

I like this one sang by Ella Fitzgerald as well, but it sounds better to me in Yiddish. Just wish there was a video of them performing when they were young.

Yiddish! I always wondered why the German was pronounced badly.

There are so many songs (millions?) that picking the best is maybe silly. But I'll go for Mr. Tambourine Man. The Byrds version especially.

Well, not easy because there is sooooo much great music. Since a long long time I love Dinosaur Jr. Here a little introduction to a recent song, and no panic: It is officially from the bands channel, it is the official video.

Dinsosaur rocks forever!

I don't know if you know but on the right you can see an LP with "Th" and I am pretty sure that it is from "The Smith" the song "The Charming Man", which is a really nice one.
Enjoy!

Great song from earlier this year by the talented German musician Roosevelt.
I like quite many of his songs, but this is my favorite. Splendid sound and arrangement, in my opinion.

Roosevelt - Easy Way Out
And this song, "Forget", is also from the same album released this year. It caught my attention, since it starts as somewhat lo-fi, and halfway into the song, the drums suddenly come in and make it more hi-fi. Quite effective arrangement.

Roosevelt - Forget

Churches has just released a cover of the song "Cry Little Sister" from the movie "The Lost Boys" (1987).
A little more subtle than the original, but with great atmosphere and wonderful vocals:

Original song:
I also read on Wikipedia that the even though "The Lost Boys" is a vampire movie, the song is not actually about vampires, quote: "I always say that if I'd have seen the film first, I would probably not have written 'Cry Little Sister'. I didn't want the song to be specific to the vampire. I wanted it to be about the longing for family from a rejected youth's perspective, which I went through myself and that many of us have felt." (source)

My favorite song on the brand new Churches album "Screen Violence".

"Violent Delights" (a really, really dark song, I think it is about nightmares/fears, but I think it is splendid).
Here with lyrics included:

I've been using Soundscapes, on Comcast, as my date music for the last 8 years. I have dated women who primarily like everything from Metal to EDM to Jazz, but they all enjoyed Soundscapes for romantic evenings.

I like this soundscape
