Just wonder what song do you consider the most enigmatic,supernatural,mystic,etc..
I'm talking basicly about music in song and the mood that it creates along the listening;the lyrics may be forgotten;and may be not :wink:
My choice is:

Top 5:

King For A Day
On A Wave/The Blue Vessel
Mandylion
New Moon Different Day
The Mirror Waters(SB version)

Hard to say considering a lot of the Gathering's stuff with Bart evokes these kinds of feelings with me. I'd say the following songs are at the top of my list:

Downfall (the tape loops are creeeepy)
Always (album version with Marike's vocals give me the chills)

And with Anneke:

Mandylion (conjures up images of mystic forests, fog, and a ceremony of mourning)

South American Ghost Ride: the name says it all

i think Home (the song) i so magic. that guitar makes me fly.

an older song is great ocean road, but that one's for the lyrics most of all.

anda enigmatic it has always' been red is a slow colour!

Interesting question. I think every album has a magic song, a weird one, something out of tune which in most of the cases is great! Like for example...

Always... - In sickness and health
Almost a Dance - ....
Mandylion - Mandylion, Fear the sea
Nighttime Birds - New Moon Different Day
HTMAP? - The Big sleep, South American Ghost ride, HTMAP?
if_then_else - Pathfinder
Souvenirs - Spirits
Home - Home is perhaps the "magical album" of TG, so I guess that a lot of songs here have a magic atmosphere, such as, specially, Box, Fatigue or Alone, among others.

Always's songs are the TG's most magic and mystic songs, no doubt about it.. Gaya's dream, subzero, mirror waters, etc... there're not songs later which reach to the Always ones
