Five of my favorite beautiful songs.

The layering in this song, and the added guitars/vocal effects/keys as the song goes on... So gorgeous. It's just a gorgeous song in so many ways. The lyrics are really hard hitting as well, which is kind of bizarre since they seem so stream-of-consciousness in style. I don't think I can ever listen to this song or album enough.


Don't mind the weird music video. The song gives me shivers every time I hear it. So many feelings come from this song. It's also my favorite vocal performance. This shit got me through a lot. I like the symbolism that positivity and care can be found wherever one wishes to find it. Also, I love how the song is both positive and negative depending on how you look at it. It sounds like both a love letter and a letter of dismissal and moving on from someone.


Such a sad song, and I mean it's downright depressing. The melodies and the lyrics are so well put together, and it's easily the most beautiful song about heartbreak for me. It's a bit bittersweet in that sense. Such a fantastic and eerie album closer, and the first time I heard it, it stuck with me for so long. It's a song everyone can relate to.


That wall of sound. I just love all of the sounds going on, from the backing vocal harmonies, to the huge layering of instruments and even the weather sound effects. This song's like Singin' in the Rain but the 60s girl pop Phil Spector version of it. It's somewhat a bit haunting, but in a good way. Don't judge.


And my last one I'll post is a bit of a questionable one, but for me it makes a lot of sense. For an extreme metal band, this song is absolutely stunning. It's easily the most emotional metal song I've ever heard. It hits absolutely every emotion conveyed so perfectly. In fact, there are covers of this floating around, including an orchestral one. There's just a lot going on here that bring on emotions every single time, and I'm sure some of you will understand it.

Edit: they had to do directly with the song, I'm not just some sob.

Ten Years Gone-The Mighty Zeppelin

Probably one of the most beautiful songs I've ever really listened to. I've heard some pretty amazing classical piano stuff but I don't know the name of the song or the composer. That and I'm a pretty simple guy so a rock song like Ten Years Gone is much more relateable to me

This song speaks to me in every level. I've never had a song change my life/accurately describe my current situation until this song. (when i say change my life, it opened up a whole new genre which gave me new friends and i was a sad guy before that time) I guess that only makes it beautiful to myself


These songs are just beautiful in general

Why are people posting A7X... I wouldn't say their songs are beautiful at all... This is a really tough choice.

Tears in Heaven - Eric Clapton
High Hopes - Pink Floyd
Porcelain - Moby
Plenty of classical pieces out there. Too many to name.
Coldplay's X&Y album was a real important album when I was younger.

A lot of the best songs/melodies are simple.

I love this Even if it's basically Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

To speak for myself, I was being sarcastic. Tension by A7X is one of the few songs I thoroughly hate.

Don't know if it's the most beautiful, but this is up there.



Along with this



This one also gets me, but you have to watch the video for the real impact.
