Romantic, Love, God, tender and thoughtful lyrics, piano, light acoustic guitar--many, many marriages to this song. It's what I thought about the moment I saw the title of this thread.

Gorecki Symphony No. 3 "Sorrowful Songs" - Lento e Largo
by Henryk Gorecki

Words taken from a message etched by an eighteen year old girl on the walls of a Gestapo jail. It is in Polish, but you don't need to know the words to get the intent or emotion.

The filming of the orchestra was the only piece of music ever to be allowed to be recorded at Auschwitz.

The most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard, although it is one of the saddest.

Sigur Ros has a couple songs that could qualify for this topic, tbh.

No one was going to watch it if I showed what song it was. The way I did it, you had to click.

I think the point of linking was so that the poster wouldn't know what song they were clicking on.

I might be wrong (but I doubt it).

Yeah, I got that. hopefully they will not see my post afterwards before they get suckered in. :lol

There's really no way Darrin is this big a Clay Aiken, right? He's gotta be trolling.

[IronMexican]

Since redzero already took the most beautiful song of all-time, I'll post this one.

Eh, I think Knives Out was his best song.

After my father died, I used to listen to this almost daily. It is heartbreaking. It is such a beautiful piece. Bach is probably my favorite classical artist.

If lefty actually made that joke, I'd be cracking up. And he is the goods, par the course, etc...

It's like he wrote this song for those of us who never met him:cry

[monosylab1k]

:tu love trapeze swinger, actually when he performed it for Austin City Limits (the show) is the best version of that song.

Call me what you will. The posts were genuine. (Except Lifehouse, that song sucks).

New Antlers album in May, niggas. I'm worrried they'll never release anything half this good, though, but they sound extremely optimistic from the one interview I've read. A very happy approach, when compared to Hospice, they say.

I actually just heard this one for the first time a few days ago, she's actually really amazing if you even give the song the slightest chance, it's beautiful in how the music and lyrics just mesh so perfectly...

And of course, the ACTUAL most beautiful song ever written - this is fuckin LOVE, brahs. And the movie version is epic too...

How about beauty with some aggression mixed in, resulting in a masterpiece? This is one of Machine Head's softer songs.

And one of the best if not the best piano pieces ever made:

Back when I played horn, I had the pleasure of playing this piece with a few orchestras.

Then of course, the all time best ( if you listen to it, you'll recognize it. I guarantee).

[JMarkJohns]

There's about six Damien Rice songs that are real strong contenders for this title. A few Ben Harper songs as well.

A classic is In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel.

Couldn't find a clean copy of The Flying Burrito Brothers version, but Elvis nails it . . .

I'm also partial to the Black Saint and the Sinner Lady by Mingus, but I won't bother posting all the parts. There are also some great versions of many songs on Porgy and Bess.

[Cry Havoc]

Good to see Iron & Wine mentioned. Some of the finest lyrics in music today, or ever.

I clicked this thread hoping someone would mention this^

A classic is In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel.

I've actually always preferred this guy's cover of the song.

It's a good cover, but what's missing is Gabriel's voice. It's an instrument all its own. Admittedly, I'm a very big Gabriel fan, owning several LPs and most every CD.

You've got the best of both worlds
You're the kind of girl who can take down a man and lift him back up again
You are strong but you're needy, humble but you're greedy
And based on your body language and shoddy cursive I've been reading
You're style is quite selective though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is

And what a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don't mind my nerve you can call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
Cause here we are, here we are

Although you are biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they're quick and probably have to do with your insecurities
There's no shame in being crazy, depending on how you take these words
I'm paraphrasing this relationship we're staging

But it's a beautiful mess this is
It's like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I've heard
But it's nice to say that we played in the dirt
Cause here, here we are
Here we are

We're still here

And it's a beautiful mess this is
It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

And through timeless words and priceless pictures
We'll fly like birds not of this earth
And tides may turn and hearts disfigure
But that's no concern when we're wounded together
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But its so nice today, oh the wait was so worth it

Mykonos by The Fleet Foxes.

Fleet Foxes have some amazing songs, but this one stands out for me. The end of the song is near perfect.
