Hmm...this one is interesting. Back in my HMV days, I tried to tap into a lot of what was being played, mostly through listening to the new releases and imports we got in. Nowadays in the age of the intarwebs, it's kind of hard to think of a song that would fit this meme ( although I certainly would not mind hearing "Paper Valentines" on the radio).
That said...back in my HMV days, I was surprised I never heard this song on the radio, since I thought it was downright brilliant. This is one of those rare songs I hear where it only takes me one listen to deem it a classic and one of my favorites ever.
(Of course, a lot of you might know it better as the opening credits to House...)
You can see the official (unembeddable) video here. I never saw this video until a few years later. I actually had visualized my own idea, and it would have been something along the lines of the start of a spring rainstorm...some people starting to run indoors, closing windows, etc., except for one person who stands outside to watch it. At the same time, we see the formation of a raindrop in the clouds and slowly falling towards earth (yay CG animation!), and at the very last note, it falls on the cheek of that one person, just under the eye, like a teardrop. Yes, I know, arty, and I wish I'd have had the chops to make something like that. :p

Okay, again...which one??
It could be:
Beck's "Little One" from Sea Change, or...
The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" from Revolver, or...
Wire's "Map Ref 41N 93W" from 154, or...
Porcupine Tree's "Even Less" from Stupid Dream, or...
Failure's "Daylight" from Fantastic Planet, or...
The La's' "Timeless Melody" from The La's, or...
The Cure's "Disintegration" from Disintegration, or...
Okay. How about something recent then? ;)
Editors' In This Light and On This Evening is currently in heavy rotation for me, and it's a fantastic album and their best one so far. Yeah, creepy title (and video) for a song, but it's an excellent track. The entire album is well worth listening to.
{Of course, I could have also posted MuteMath's "Spotlight" from Armistice but I already posted that video earlier. I'm trying to keep things fresh in this meme when I can...)
