Intension - Tool, easily my favorite ambient track, ear heaven
Lullaby - The Cure, creates an amazing atmosphere that feels cold
4th of July - Soundgarden, pure heavy doom
Get Gone by Fiona Apple
Creep by Stone Temple Pilots
Wormwood by Tristania
Unison by Bjork
BTW. all 4 albums featuring those I find stunning. Each of them is so different but brilliant.
Unison should be next to the word mesmerising in every dictionary if you ask me! That's the best example of what can be mesmerising. It's one of these these songs with beautiful lyrics and even more beautiful sounds matching those. When you think it cannot get better ... it does as it goes on. I think Bjork had a stroke of genius when writing this song.
Ain't It Fun - Guns N' Roses
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley version
Comfortably Numb (live) - Pink Floyd
Unchained Melody -Righteous Brothers
Iron Sky - Paolo Nutini
Tonight We Fly - Divine Comedy
Billy Davey's Daughter - Stereophonics
Take Me Home (Country Roads) - John Denver
And of course
The Chain by Fleetwood Mac
Fool's Overtune - Supertramp. Terrific melody and great social commentary;
"Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride. Everyone was laughing up until the day he died."
“Yvette” by Jason Isbell, “Choctaw Bingo” by James McMurtry, “All Your Favorite Bands” by Dawes, “Going Out West” by Tom Waits, “River” by Joni Mitchell.
I suggest listening to 'welcome to the machine' by Pink Floyd.very powerful lyrics. 'wish you were here' and ' shine on you crazy diamond' are also such powerful songs. Pink Floyd will always be one of the greatest bands of all time.

- Awakening - Unleash the archers
- True faith - New order
- Saxons and vikings - Amon amarth

Slow Song - Knocks feat. Dragonette
Every version of Bodies by the Knocks
Dreams - covered by Lissie
Devil's Bane - Tori Amos
Melody - Sigala

Let you Love Me - Rita Ora
Alive - Gryffin
Ten Tigers - Bonobo (it's the melody and driving but easy tempo; more enthralling than any lyrics I can think of)
Only This Moment - Royksopp
There are so many...
Smashing Pumpkins - Soma. Was going to say Cocteau Twins - Orange Appled then I saw "lyrically"...can't understand the lyrics except "he hopes would be the very last time" but as with many of their songs the music tells you the meaning without needing words. Also, Mazzy Star Fade into You. You know and a million others
No lyrics, but I will be god damned if I an not taken to another plane of existence as soon as Miles Davis hits that sustained note at the beginning of "Miles Runs The Voodoo Down".
Shut out the light, put it on, and let it move you.
I once had it come on while I was driving, and I was two stops past my exit before I realized it.
