Stunningly beautiful songs.

[Aerodynamic]

No band compares to The Red Sparrowes beauty, None.

 

[Axle_Bullitt_19]

A good song to calm down with.

 

[Aerodynamic]

Jesu. I cannot say any more, the music will just speak for itself.


Makes me cry.

Also good, Jesu is amazing.

 

[plastic_window]

Roygbiv or Olson - both by Boards of Canada.

Brilliantly tranquil pieces of music. Faultless, in my opinion.

 

[Summerstorm]

and:

and a lot more of this three bands.

 

[GodofDisaster]

The opening song to Gunslinger Girl, light before we land by the Delgados. I?ve always found it to be really beautiful.

 

[FightThePower]

 

[Private Custard]

There are a few that really get me.

Amazing guitar work

And this one might be contraversial. But I don't care, her voice is amazing and the backing is truly haunting.

Tim Minchin - Not Perfect (live) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz4YNnwv6zw]

I hear you, and raise you Tim Minchin - Drowned [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ne9eruxSYg] and White Wine in the Sun [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCNvZqpa-7Q]

 

[Private Custard]

Oh and before I forget, here's Simon & Garfunkel dueting with Andy Williams with Scarborough Fair.

As this is the escapist, I'll trust people will see past the hairstyles and fashions and hear some of the most awesome vocal work ever.

 

[Benjeezy]

System of a Down's "Question!" and their cover of "The Metro".

Moved me to tears.

There seem to be a lot of people here who appreciate classical music, and I want to post a few things but listening to classical music on youtube is a bit... self-defeating?
Anyways:

Spoiler: Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto, 1st Movement, played by Itzhak Perlman (incomplete)

Other stuff:

Spoiler: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Otherside (there seem to be no good quality versions of this song on youtube)

Spoiler: Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek

In fact, any number of songs by Imogen Heap and Frou Frou incl. Getting Scared, Headlock, Let Go, etc.

Spoiler: Portishead - Roads (unfortunately, all the versions on youtube have some weird buzz on it, completely ruining a very beautiful song.)

Spoiler: My favourite version of a pretty old classic. Trivia: Once covered and popularized by Rick Astley. TMYK.

Spoiler: Lyle Lovett - Ballad of the Snow Leopard (I don't really listen to country but this song is just so beautiful)

Spoiler: Third Eye Blind - Slow Motion

Spoiler: Sara Bareilles - Gravity (her first single and still her best. My favourite slow song ever)

Spoiler: And of course, the most overplayed yet most beautiful song of the '90s that isn't called Don't Speak

I have no shame.

 

[TylerC]

Quite possibly one of the most amazing songs I've ever heard.

The piano part is incredible.

Spoiler: Fionnghuala, by Bothy Band

Fionnghuala [/youtube]
Anuna does this song too, but Bothy is better, in my humble opinion.

Spoiler: Sunburst/Jubilation, by Andrew York

Sunburst/Jubilation [/youtube]
One of my favorite Andrew York pieces. I should learn this...

EDIT: Also there are some random other clips that seem to cut Andrew off. How sad.
