Simple, Laid Back Songs?

[altair1121]

I'm looking for a bunch of good, simple songs, that could be described as "beautiful," or even "Haunting"
For example, You Belong To Me(Jason Wade) or Nights in White Satin(Moody Blues).

I just enjoy listening to stuff like this alot, but need more similar songs. Any ideas? :)

Mad World by Tears for Fears?

Trust in Me by The Dead Brothers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrV-mBLv17Q), among other songs by them, there discography is split between laid back rhythms to oom-pah march stuff, "Somewhere Between Dog and Wolf" is another by them I'd reccomend.

Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead
I Stay Away by Alice in Chains

[JukeBoxHero]

Belly's Untogether is something you might like.

Cat Power's work in general, more specifically the album Moon Pix.

Cat Stevens, Willy Mason, Kimya Dawson, Iron & Wine have a lot of simple laid back songs, I don't know about haunting, I find that to be very subjective.

"Upward Over the Mountain" by Iron & Wine is a pretty good one.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

Most things by Presidents of the USA are pretty chill and laid back.

"Upward Over the Mountain" by Iron & Wine is a pretty good one.

The one song he's done that is immediately good. The rest are sort of growers or dull.

Blue Red and Gray-The Who
Yellow Ledbetter-Pearl Jam

A lot of Belle & Sebastian's stuff fits the bill, specifically their older work.
