"Górecki" is a 1997 single by Lamb from their debut album Lamb.

The song samples the second movement of Henryk Górecki's Third Symphony, the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs.[1]

The song has been featured in numerous TV shows, movies and video games, including the 2006 Torchwood episode "They Keep Killing Suzie" and the 1998 slasher film I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. The opening lines were sung by Nicole Kidman's character Satine in the 2001 movie Moulin Rouge!. It was also used for the launch trailer for Crystal Dynamics' game Tomb Raider: Underworld in 2008.

The song peaked at No. 30 on the UK Singles Chart.

Both tracks "Ear Parcel" and "Lullaby" would later appear on Fear of Fours.
