"Funeral Bell" by Phildel I wrote like five more verses of lyrics for this.

"I'll Be There" by Walk Off The Earth Someone needs to write a gay romance where this is the song that gets danced to in the final scene.

"Ashokan Farewell" by Jay Ungar Once you can look past the "jokes about Ken Burns's The Civil War" association, think of it in the context it was composed for, it assumes The-Parting-Glass-like poignancy.

"Hunger," Florence and the Machine Again, it hits the right convergence point of "craze'd preacherman," "witch from a Flannery O'Conner story" "drunk, lonely, and horny in an empty bar" "queer-applicable pining" and "literal ghost" that she does best.

"Regret" by Glow Very obscure, but this was the first song Husband ever shared with me, when he was still long-distance-friend-that-I-was-too-closeted-to-realize-was-my-boyfriend.

"Joan in the Garden" by the Decemberists I admit the atonal formless experimental sections go on a bit long, and I wish they'd put out a version that cuts those down to a minimum. But the rest of the song is maybe their best song ever.

"Treaty" by Leonard Cohen I don't see why this should need any explanation.

"The One Who Knows" by Dar Williams Oh look, the gay life-long depressive likes songs about how something isn't the happy ending everyone expects is still real love, how amazing.

"Meet Me In The Woods" by Lord Huron I'm probably projecting the queer subtext I see in this, but don't think that's gonna stop me.

I have, I just like the cover a lot better.
