Arranged for brass band and pit pony? Or something more traditional?

[sat]

It's a shame people aren't suggesting things like, say, the Bach Passions, Beethoven's late works, or even something like Mahler's ninth.

[exnihilo]

Not what you'd actually term "songs" though, are they?

Well, Mahler's 9th was certainly upsetting... Anyway, I'm having a great time looking all these songs up on youtube, especially those I haven't heard in a while or don't know. Have even ordered St Matthew's Passion for Fathers day - cheers for the inspiration! Here's the only piece of music which can make me cry, if I'm in the right (or is that wrong?) mood:
Barber - Adagio for Strings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRMz8fKkG2g (btw I just choose this vid as good performance of the piece)

some other stuff I find moving:
Elgar - Cello Concerto in E minor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5C99JyP2ns
Karen Mathieson - 'Ailein Duinn' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8OXbctQwXA
Radiohead - Exit Music for a Film http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdFTNy_UTGU
Nick Drake "Day is Done" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cyv4qB5Aft4

? that's a great album. Maybe they meant the track "Brain Damage" which's not a bad choice.

Well you can't really think of Dark Side of the moon as several tracks, I tend to think of it as one and that it takes you on an Amazing Journey. Hence Why I put down the album name

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

All I really meant to say was that I thought it was a good choice. The lyric "see you on the dark side of the moon" sticks in your head, I had myself semiconviced that was the title of "brain damage" which is why I suggested it
