Whimsy March 6, 2015 Share March 6, 2015 I know my idea of "beautiful" may be different than others. I tend to think “beautiful” songs have either a tone or emotion in the voice or a lick of music (I’m not a musician, so I don’t know if that’s the right terminology) that makes my heart soar or skip a beat. Here are some that make me just sit and listen and marvel at the beauty when I hear them (in no particular order):The Longer I Run by Peter Bradley AdamsTalking Bird by Death Cab for CutieThe Girl by City and ColourLove You ‘Till the End by the PoguesBe Here Now by Ray LaMontagneAll the Wild Horses by Ray LaMontagneBookends by Simon and GarfunkelYour Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit ApparatusFix You by ColdplayThis Year’s Love by David GraySeven Bridges Road by The EaglesYour Ex-Lover is Dead by StarsTurn to Stone by Ingrid MichaelsonHallelujah by Jeff BuckleyFalling in Love at a Coffee Shop by Landon PiggSilent All These Years by Tori AmosSinking Man by Of Monsters and MenFalling Slowly by Glen Hansard & Marketa IrglovaTearing me Apart by Vega4Life is Beautiful by Vega4A Billion Tons of Light by Vega4Yesterday by The BeatlesPaper Aeroplane by Angus & Julia StoneWake Up by Arcade FireBrighter than Sunshine by AqualungStrange and Beautiful by AqualungSo Cold by Ben CocksWorlds Apart by The Mostar Diving Club Now I'm going to go make a playlist with all these songs! 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/21080-share-your-simply-beautiful-songs/#findComment-898217

Wiendish Fitch April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 (edited) "As" by Stevie Wonder is one of the most breathtaking and incredibly arranged love songs I've ever heard. Stevie sings it with such passion and charisma, I have no choice but to be moved by it. Whenever I play it in my car, I honestly have to roll the windows down because I feel owe it to everyone to hear it. "The Boxer" by Simon and Garfunkel is another song I have to share with the world when I drive. "Stardust" by Nat King Cole. I love the tender, understated (no dramatic swells) orchestration, and the fact that the lyrics are a bit verbose, but still scan and work beautifully. Plus, Cole owns this song. Owns it. A lot of artists I like, such as Willie Nelson and Katie Melua have covered it, but, sorry, no version of "Stardust" can match Cole's rendition. Deanna Durbin is one of my favorite singers ever, and picking a beautiful song from this charming, accomplished musical star is a bit of an undertaking because there were so many. But one that comes to mind is "One Fine Day", the English language version of "Un Bel Di" from Puccini's Madame Butterfly. She was 17 years old when she recored this. 17. Years. Old.

spaceytraci1208 June 2, 2015 Share June 2, 2015 I had So You Think You Can Dance on in the background, and one of the last dancers auditioned to the song "Sleepwalk"; it was a version with lyrics that I wasn't familiar with, but that melody is so haunting and beautiful. On the flip-side, that song will always be tied in my memory to the incredibly sad ending of the movie La Bamba, which I haven't watched in full since I was a kid.
