YouTube mix: A quiet moment (my Memorial Day tribute)

So, listening to "Don't Look Behind" from the anime Black Lagoon, inspired me to pull together a YouTube playlist that I call, "A quiet moment".  It's not terribly long -- 50 minutes -- but it has a mix of different emotions, all to fit within a theme sitting at night in a quiet, faintly-lit room and listening to some stirring music.

A quiet moment:

  • Samuel Barber - Agnus Dei (Adagio for Strings)
  • From the anime show, Black Lagoon - Don't Look Behind
  • Julee Cruise - Falling (Twin Peaks Theme)
  • Annie Lennox - Love Song for a Vampire (Bram Stoker's Dracula, 1992, Theme)
  • Dusted - Always Remember to Respect and Honour Your Mother
  • Phobos - Edge of Forever
  • Alan Parsons Project - Time
  • Moby - 18
  • Sasha Lazard - Princess Mononoke Theme Song
  • Francis Poulenc - Salve Regina / Dialogues les Carmelites (final scene)

If you don't have tears at some point in the 50 minutes of listening to this playlist, I failed.  But I'm betting that if you know anything about Dialogues les Carmelites, you'll be shedding tears like a waterfall -- a tribute of sorts, to today, Memorial Day.
