The string spice

11/12/2007 2:19:00 PM

Adding a string section to a pop song is a difficult task. It's a bit like adding sugar to coffee - a delicate balancing act. Here are some of the best results I know of:

Linger / The Cranberries


Very touching. Great intro.

There Is a Light That Never Goes Out / The Smiths


Melodramatic but wonderful. The anthem of my generation.

Whatever / Oasis


Nicked from The Beatles but so what.
