[cormacdffy]

[Aerodynamic]

I love Oceansize.

 

[unoleian]

Spoiler: SHPONGLE!!!

No lyrics. Just a beautiful harmony between masterfully, intricately crafted, 'organic' electronica and wonderful flutes.

I love you. No, seriously. That's such a great song! I have a hard time classifying it as "beautiful," but it's got a lot of wonderful things going on. When the lady kicks into the operatic singing, it definitely takes me to a very happy, bouncy place.

My song to add to this thread is certainly just one of the many renditions of Music, Us from Sound Tribe Sector 9. I much prefer the version from the 08-09 show, but that one doesn't exist on YouTube in any respectable form (just bad home-recordings with terrible audio), so instead, I give you this one.

Just a beautiful piano harmony, an easy rhythm, sparse, inspiring lyrics, a slow build of guitar-work to a wonderful crescendo that gives me chills every time. This is good stuff.


I also find this song strangely beautiful, though I don't know if I should. Just something about it that is....gorgeous.

I totally agree. I'm so hooked on this guy, and am ready and willing to spring serious money on some imports in the near future!!!

I like a lot of Coldplay, but here are two of my favorites:

Spoiler: Clocks - gives me shivers every time

Oh, Gawd yes. I don't listen to much Coldplay, but DEFINITELY THIS. Actually, it's the only song of theirs I've actually bought. It resides in a special place in my memories for me.

 

[DonMartin]

Absolutely love it.

 

[arsenicCatnip]

Hoo boy...

Spoiler: Rakuen - Trigun OST

Brings me a sense of peace and tranquility every time.

Spoiler: Adieu - Cowboy Bebop

Spoiler: 18th Floor Balcony - Blue October

Spoiler: Forever (acoustic) - Dropkick Murphys

Spoiler: Lovesong - Voltaire (originally done by The Cure

Spoiler: Sing - The Dresden Dolls

Anything McVaffe from OCRemix does, but his Gau's Lament [http://ocrmirror.iiens.net/files/music/remixes/Final_Fantasy_6_Gau%27s_Lament_OC_ReMix.mp3] a remix of Gau's Theme from FFVI always gets to me.

 

[cheese_wizington]

Stopping All Stations by the Hilltop Hoods.

It's a narrative song, so make sure you look up the lyrics if you even bother.

 

[Kurokami]

Dammit, ninja'd again by you. Oh well, I'm gonna go ahead and say this:

That game looks pretty epic.

 

[Nu-Hir]

The Fall of Tavnasia and the return of its glory. Memora de la S^tona and Distant Worlds.

 

[Karlaxx]

Iron Miaden's "Blood Brothers" from Brave New World.

It's the reason I play music.

 

[Sinful Tyrant]

Something: by the Beatles cant get my computer to get the damn link though.

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

'Across The Universe' or 'Let It Be' by the Beatles. You can just lay back and think about anything while listening to it.

 

[W8NKA]

By far the most emotianl song I've heard is Disturbed's Darkness

 

[SomeBoredGuy]

An excellent soundtrack to an excellent film.

 

[Nouw]

Really? No Gorillaz?

Beautiful Song with Deep Meaning

Makes me want to cry every time I hear this song.

 

[Offworlder_v1legacy]

I have that feeling all the time. Songs like Weird Fishes by Radiohead and Digital Love like Daft Punk give it to me.

But most recently:


I know it's hip-hop but listen to the lyrics, beautiful.

 

[Offworlder_v1legacy]

An excellent soundtrack to an excellent film.

That's because Hans Zimmer wrote it, he's a genius.

 

[Instinct Blues]

Beach House people they make some of the most beautiful music ever with what is basically garage sale instruments.

Examples:

 

[Fingerprint]

Well try as I might I have never been able to find this song on the net - though I'm sure there are those out there who can actually use the net and find the needle in the haystack as it were. Anyway the single most "beautiful" song ever played as far as I'm concerned is King Kurtis' live saxophone rendition of Procal Harmen's Whiter Shade of Pale. Now anyone who has seen the awesomeness of Withnail & I may know it as it's the first song you hear during the opening scene. To be honest I don't really care for the original version of the song, well not as much at least, it's good not great. But there is just something special about the song.

 

[Midnight Crossroads]

Spoiler: Loss of Me

Spoiler: Left For Dead

They may not stack up to some of the songs here, but these songs are the ones that have, for better or worse, stuck with me.
