Take it With Me

Tom Waits' Take it With Me is simultaneously the prettiest and most haunting love song I think I've ever heard, and it only gets moreso every time I listen to it. Specifically, the recording on Mule Variations.

I don't know how it was accomplished, but the piano in that recording sounds dusty. There's no other way I can think of to describe it. You can hear the dust motes, and I think it's a big part of why the track has such a grip on me.
