Today I have the second in my series of Top 10 playlists. Last time I did The Beatles and today I’ve done a very different band: Anathema. While The Beatles were once my favourite, they were dethroned by Anathema. Though I am partially biased due to their positive association with some positive experiences earlier in my life, I think Anathema create the most beautiful music I have ever heard. Here’s the list of ten of their best songs:
- Untouchable Part 1 & Part 2
- Dreaming Light
- The Lost Song Part 1, Part 2 & Part 3
- Everything
- Internal Landscapes
- Are You There?
- Fragile Dreams
- Angels Walk Among Us
- The Storm Before the Calm
- Springfield
As Anathema are slightly more obscure, I hope that I can introduce them to someone who has never heard them before. Some of their music is really happy, other pieces are more sad and melancholic, but all of it is highly cathartic. I find their songs to be just about the most soothing things to listen to under any circumstances. There’s a sort of chilling spiritual aspect to their music which always gets to me. Though the list is in no particular order, Untouchable is probably my favourite song of all time. I hope you can enjoy it as much as I do!
