Requiem for the Plantagenet Kings

Burial of Sir John Moore at Corunna

Fire And Rain

Dark Matter

Merlin and Vivien

The Settler

This is a famous song called Those Were The Days. It is a English translation of a Russian song and it is very famous all over the world. But I think that very few people do justice to the spirit of the original Russian song. The Leningrad Cowboys (the version embedded above) come the closest, but they put a little bit to much cheeses into it for my tastes.

Jonathan Coulton (the man who wrote the above song) was also the one to write the song for the end of Valve’s game “Portal.” That song is more famous than this one, but you have to have some experience with “Portal” to appreciate it.
