i was listening to Joga and the strings just almost swept me away. i love that sound, so beautiful and sad, kind of. and i think all is full of love, the string version is vastly superior to the crackling one in the album. i also think earthcrosser by veruca salt was made even better by the string crescendo.

what are your favorite songs with strings? or your favorite string moments in songs.

Bjork: Joga
Bjork: Bachelorette
Goldfrapp: Human
Duncan Sheik: The Dawn's Request

Tori Amos - Gold Dust.

I always think of The Beekeeper as an album rich with orchestral strings, in my mind, but there're no strings on the entire record. (Except piano/guitar, if you're going to count those.)

Tori Amos : Strange
Imani Coppola : Brainstorm (lol and she's actually the one that plays the strings in her songs)
