Violin-filled songs?

freddy2fan · 07-30-2007, 12:45 PM

I'm looking for songs, normal songs, with great violin in them. Songs like "The Parting of a Sensory" by Modest Mouse, "Breathe Me" by Sia, and "Twilight" by Elliott Smith.

Does anyone know of any other great songs like that?

oh man, now you have me looking for a song.
There's this one song by yellowcard and it's pretty much all violin.
It's pretty awesome. So if you find it, let me know =P

Ou, there are sooo many Violin-filled songs by Yellowcard. Could you possibly be thinking of "Believe"?

Bahah, that's probably it.
Thanks for helping?
even though this is your thread =P

YouTube - The Verve - Bitter Sweet Symphony

The band called Corrs should have violins in some of their songs, as I know one of the ladies there plays violin in that band. Something like this: YouTube - dreams - the corrs

Ou, I love the Verve! I just happened to not mention tht song (woops). But I'll look into the other band.

I LOVE violin music!!! (My favorite instrument without a doubt). Here are some artists that I like that have violins in some of their songs:

Dido (Do you have a little time), Enya, Josh Groban, J. Ralph (One Million Miles Away), Mythos, some Sarah Brightman, Vanessa Mae...etc.

If you like classical music with a modern flair...may I also recommend the group Bond (the string quartet). They are awesome! Hope that is enough for you to find some songs you like out of that.

Cheers!

Sorry, wayyy off topic here, but when I clicked on this topic and read Thistle's post, I was listening to J. Ralph's 'The Illusionary Movements of Geraldine and Nazu' album at the same time...
Great artist, talented (and what is the most weird thing, he can't read or write down music in traditional way with notes, he never even studied music or instruments).

I just had to say this

That was very interesting about J. Ralph Lolipop! He produces wonderful music! If you like his music...you might also enjoy E.S. Posthumus. (Lepcis Magna is a good one by them). Very powerful and the violins are amazing.

Thought i'd add that.

Two really good tunes of the 60s were by a band known as The Left Banke. They had two hits titled "Pretty Ballerina" and "Walk Away Renee". Both songs have really sweet violins The band was known, according to "those" who know, to utilize baroque string arrangements. Enjoy the songs and thank you wikipedia.
