minus-squareRememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-22 days agoWas thinking about this the other day for a modern song that has really stuck around. Not a power ballad or a big rock song by any stretch, but: Fade Into You - Mazzy Star Late edit: these, too: What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright’s version of Cohen’s original Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwoʻole
