Peter Murphy – A Strange Kind Of Love, by Steve Stav

Not a Halloween song, but any ballad by the Dark Prince kinda qualifies, eh? I consider this one of the finest songs of my generation. The combination of profound, supremely romantic lyrics and a Murphy-typical, mesmerizing vocal performance… one could cover it, with talent, and it might be good. But never as good as the original. Kind of like covering a Roy Orbison song.
