pop/rock - love over gold
opera aria - la rondine

I love the song called "I'm feeling good" performed by Michael Buble

Remember by Josh Groban. It is a soundtrack to Troy movie..

Absolutely one of the best songs that always moves me when I hear it:

Meant I fully agree with this one.

I just noticed the version has been shorted about 2 minutes, too bad because the visuals are part of the fun. The full version is on YouTube (without the performance visuals).


Lea Michele has done breathless remakes of several pop songs, including this modern country tune by Lady Antebellum:

This is one of the songs that make me rethink my distaste for Country ...

That song hits close to home. I believe it can for anyone. Very good song. I don't see how anyone couldn't like it. Speaking of country.

Brad Paisley - Whiskey Lullaby

Without a doubt an amazing song.

Great song suggestions everyone, time for more youtube song hunting :D

Smiley - Love is for free. I just can't stop listening to it.

"Golden Slumber"................

oh man, I cannot believe no one has mentioned Nimrod, from Elgar's Enigma Variations.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqwwsrhJiqI

If you plan on listening to it I'd recommend groove shark or something so you don't get "youtube" music quality :) But it is such an amazingly beautiful piece.


Also, this thread is a trap!

Sorry I don't know the title but, the theme from the movie Somewhere in Time has always seemed just beautiful to me.

I have lots of all time favorite songs. I love Never been to me by Charlene. The song is very nice and the lyrics is wonderful. It's a deep song and it's inspiring.

Watched Highlander for the umpteenth time last night and within the context of the movie is a very moving piece. Nominated in this thread back in 2007 here it is again - Who Wants to Live Forever.

So many to choose from. But, off the top of my head.
The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset
fvDoDaCYrEY
Cat Stevens - Father and Son
Q29YR5-t3gg
Elliott Smith - A Fond Farewell... So beautiful and sad.

And for a newer song, David Bazan's - Virginia

Depeche Mode: Enjoy the Silence

It will be played at my funeral.

It's impossible to hold your most "beautiful" song throughout time. It will change, even if it takes months, seems like. I could probably list off several Floyd songs.

But these are pretty ethereal and it would be hard to find anything more beautiful at the moment:

Whoa, is that REALLY from TGTB&TU?
If true, that's some pretty nasty sh!te...:eek::eek:

I tried to watch the movie recently (after decades) and couldn't get thru it.

Desafinado by Joao Gilberto.

That's a fine choice.

**********************************

A quick search of this thread yields that the song below has been mentioned three times already, but it's been about four years, so I'll mention it again (and it's worthy of mentioning again, too).

"God Only Knows" by The Beach Boys (written by Brian Wilson, of course, who is/was one of the finest pop song writers ever. It is said that in the mid-late 60s, even the highly esteemed and genius songwriters John Lennon and Paul McCartney were envious of Wilson's abilities to craft a beautiful and catchy tune. This one is his best, in my opinion).

Yeah Song is really beautiful....

5 days in May -Blue Rodeo

How can anyone forget Dan Fogelberg's "Same Auld Lang Syne" ..especially during this time of year?

..and the story behind the song:

Glad to see that many of my picks have already been listed and mentioned but here are a couple that I thought deserved mention in this thread:

Jackie Evancho "Nella Fantasia"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHs3422xb9c&feature=related

Alex DeGrassi "Turning:Turning Back"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqqmisiod-c&feature=related

Evan Rachel Wood "If I Fell" (Beatles cover from the movie 'Across The Universe'). This is one of my go to Blu Rays for auditioning center channels.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvD1NbaYpwE

Pink Floyd "Learning To Fly".

BTW, if you haven't seen this stunning timelapse video set to "Learning To Fly", it's quite a treat. Unfortunately, due to the popularity of the video, Tom Lowe (who made the video using a Canon 5D Mark II) has since taken down the free full 1080p download and it is now available for sale. Here is a not quite HD sample of the video.

Johann Pachelbel "Canon in D Major"
Luciano Pavarotti "Nessun Dorma" by Puccini

Alex DeGrassi "Turning:Turning Back"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqqmisiod-c&feature=related
That album and Slow Circle are outstanding.

Not sure if anyone had mentioned these while I'm building my Spotify:

- Countess from HK by C. Chaplin
- Change by Yanni/Chloe
- ROd McKuen's If you go away

Happy New Year.

To my mind and to my soul the most beautiful song ever ABBA - The Winner Takes It All (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC8f8jrNas4).

To Her mind - who had taken all - the most lovely song Rihanna - We Found Love ft. Calvin Harris (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tg00YEETFzg).

'Till I Die - The Beach Boys

MlVHXixAWvs

Andrea Bocelli - Por Ti Volare

almost cried when I heard it on Step Brothers

Wang Dang, Sweet Poontang by Ted Nugent

I Love the Dead by Alice Cooper.

Sunny by Bobby Hebb, or pick your favorite cover version (I like Wilson Pickett's).

Surprised I didn't see it in here, but one of my favorites:

"To Build A Home" by The Cinematic Orchestra.

Anything from enigma!

Innuendo - Queen

Big Red Car - The Wiggles

I think it would be incredibly difficult to pinpoint one particular song as beautiful considering the various differences in characteristics that define beautiful.

Hence, the wildly divergent choices offered up in this thread.

" Pink Napkins " Frank Zappa

Big Red Car - The WigglesThe Little Black Egg - The Nightcrawlers

The Little Black Egg - The Nightcrawlers

Sneaky Snake - Tom T. Hall

"Adore" - Prince

one of my favs :)

Simon & Garfunkel

"These Days" by Gregg Allman:

I win. :D

/thread

Don't throw your shoulder out of joint with the vigorous back slapping, tiger. :D

I didn't know he had done a version of that song. First one I had ever heard was a version by one of the many rotating vocalists in the Golden Palominos. I forget her name, but it may have been the only song she sung for them. And I was vaguely aware of Nico's version. The only other thing I knew was that Jackson Browne had written the song. In any event, the AMG guy sure likes Allman's version, so you're not alone there.

Incidentally, it turns out Browne & Nico once had a "thing". Weird. Not a pairing I would have ever imagined anyway. The artsy broodingly teutonic chick and the laid back California dude.

An unusual and quite wonderful rarity on 2002's I'm No Angel, Jackson Browne's "These Days" highlights Gregg Allman's tie to folk music forms. Cast in his usual blues-based forms, Allman takes the sincerity and poetry of the youthful, coming-of-age message to heart, and it works wonders. Previously recorded by Nico, of all people, the song has an ageless quality to it, and when Allman adds his jazz-based organ solo to the arrangement, the final effect is pure magic. Perhaps not the definitive version of the song, it nevertheless remains a unique and emotional reading. http://allmusic.com/song/these-days-t862708

Yeah I knew Gregg wasn't the writter, but I didn't know it was Jackson Brown. Huh. Gregg Allman's version is on his first solo album: "Laid Back". Another favorite of mine from that album is "All My Friends", which I also consider a very beautiful song.

After listening to some really pathetic singing on AI and Voice the last couple of weeks, it got me thinking about this song again.

imo, high points of interest are:

4 minutes in to 9 minutes

16 minutes in to 20 minutes is breathtaking

from 35 minutes on out is just spectacular.

the vocals in this number are nothing to freak out over, but its how its layed out with the song that makes it amazing.

i just wanted to share with you all
