Ever since I first heard this song I liked it. I believe it was used in the first Resident Evil game. You had too play it on a piano to open a door. It always reminds me of Resident Evil. I had lots of fun playing it.
I'm sorry but I don't know of any similar songs.

ah moonlight sonata:thumbsup:... slip, you dont have to be a fan of classical to like this song, it's just a beautiful song on the piano.

check out Mogwai - "Auto Rock" or "Freind of the Night" ( post-rock not classical but includes some very good piano)

or if it's the progression you like, check out Godspeed You Black Emporer - "Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls" (amazing song in simmilar key and progression done on guitars and strings)

Whenever i hear this song i think of Beethoven's inability to hear. To me this is his way of mourning and yearning to hear sounds and the like. Its so simple yet so effective one of my all time fav's.

he didnt go deaf until lter in his career, for many of his works he could hear while he wrote them

Moonlight Sonata is great for smoking a spliff while listening to the rain... I have some suggestions for u.
Adagio- Bach
Minuet In G- Bach
Cello Suite No. 1 Prelude- Bach
Baroque Violin in D minor- Bach/ Vivaldi
Air on the G String- Bach (very popular, just hard to find)
Sonata No.1 for Cello and Piano Adante- Bach
Andante in F Major- Bach
Ave Maria- Beethoven
Overture No. 3 in D- Beethoven ( my most favorite ever)
If u like Cello suite No. 1 u will like Temple of Tears by DarkHorse off of the Confessions of a BurningMan Soundtrack... go to www.threesixtyrecords.net and seach the cd and u can listen for free... and if u want buy it... the entire cd is Great!!

Hope u like some of these.... - Hilder

Moonlight Sonata and Clare de Lune were my bedtime music. My mom was a gifted pianist and often sent us to bed to their strains. Thank you for bringing back a childhood memory! - Granny:hippy:

I just found anither great one, ironically on the simpsons episode that aired tonight... adagio for strings

I adore "Moonlight Sonata." That's on my request list for my memorial service.

Great choices, Hilder!

I think Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" is one you need in your repertoire of music in this vein, Slip. Humor your dear old Cann.com mom here and listen first to the composer-true version in the NPR link below:
NPR : The Impact of Barber's 'Adagio for Strings'

Then you can compare it to this YouTube version, which has been techno-popped, almost "discofied," up. Someday, perhaps not till you've had a bit more exposure to this type of music, you'll see the greater beauty in the first version, I suspect.

If you're still in a mood to humor your forum mom and want to get the same feelings, I also recommend Franz Schubert's "Ave Maria," which you can hear Pavarotti sing on You Tube if you do a quick search. Instead of watching the video, just close your eyes and listen and see if you don't feel some of the same stuff you do with "Moonlight Sonata." You have heard this version of "Ave Maria" before even if you haven't recognized it.

And finally, Mama Bird has to tell you the one that gets me every time. It's Puccini's "O Mio Babbino Caro." You can search this on You Tube, too, if you're inclined. Choose either the Anna Netrebko or Kiri Te Kanawa versions and, again, just close your eyes and listen and feel instead of watching.

With the exception of a couple of hymns, I've literally just laid out the playlist of my favorite poignant songs.
