It's mainly comprised of indie and post-rock. Good for night-driving or just relaxing and thinking. I purposely placed "Svo Hljott" by Sigur Rós at the end because it is a beautifully written song that really gives me a sense of closure... [+]
[Updated on September 12, 2008] I made this playlist with the intention of creating one that reminded me of how beautiful music can truly be. I tried to pick songs that I felt had deeper meaning. It's mainly comprised of indie and post-rock. Good for night-driving or just relaxing and thinking. I purposely placed "Svo Hljott" by Sigur Rós at the end because it is a beautifully written song that really gives me a sense of closure when I listen to it. There are a few repeated bands on here....and for good reason. Enjoy :)

I don't think a playlist can get any better than this one. It's pretty much perfection. I think I've fallen in love. Thank you for such a great list.

Wonderful playlist... could listen to it for hours and hours. Might you consider "High and Low" by Greg Laswell. Haunting, simple, and beautiful.

I was severely impressed when the first song I saw was Carry The Zero, because I just barely, as in 2 minutes ago, made a top 10 songs of all time (in my opinion of course) which included that same song. I'm glad to see BTS is getting some recognition in the Indie scene despite their underground nature.
