There's a song at the end of the movie "Paying it Forward" called "Calling All Angels"...I don't know who sings it, but it is heartbreakingly beautiful

And there is a song in the "Highlander" movies that is a stunner...I don't know the name of it, and I don't know who sings it - it's a woman, I know that, but it is a very beautiful song...can anyone help me out on that one?

uh...Nick Drake's Pink Moon is depressing as ****...thats why i dont listen to it much. Somebody mentioned "Transatlaticism" by Death Cab. i think thats a good choice, although i'm not crazy about death cab. I love the flood allegory in that song. I saw Radiohead the other night so "You and Who's Army" as another sad song.
