Although I've never heard of Stina Nordenstam before, when I saw this song posted on Gorilla vs. Bear (a great site by the way), it piqued my intrest because it was remixed by The Knife. After listening to it quite a few times in the past week or so, I've decided that it definately takes the title of creepiest song in my library. The icy beat coupled with the whispered chours, "it may be silent, but I hear bombs falling" definately does the trick.
Stina Nordenstam - Parliament Square (The Knife Remix)
Bonus: And as for the second creepiest song in my library, I'd have to go with 'Commander Thinks Aloud' by The Long Winters. A song about the final thoughts passing through commander's head moments before the doomed Columbia shuttle flight descentigrated in the earth's upper atmosphere. Apparently there was a brief period (5 minutes or so) where the crew knew they were going to crash, and could do nothing about it-- definately creepy. This is by far one of my favorite Long Winters songs, and its not on their new album so check it out.
