Does anyone know the name of a song I want?

[Pieguy]

ok. This is a very long shot but here goes...
I would like the name of this song which makes really good backing music.
It is often used when people are dying and is on some sort of stringed instrument. in the films I have seen it (cant remember the names but I saw it in one red dwarf), the video goes slow and ghostly with some sort of slow shutter. Please help because If you have someone dying then this is pretty much essential for a really good effect
Thanks

At a stab in the dark, I'd say "adagio for strings".

[Pieguy]

Wow! spot on! many many thanks Marc

What song am I thinking of right now.... it's got someone singing and there's guitars and drums playing while he's singing. Any ideas?

Are you *sure* it's not Genesis?
