What are some of the most beautiful songs & music that you have ever heard? (happy or sad)

A few of my favorites are:

Trouble (Coldplay) - makes me feel at ease... anytime anywhere.

Yesterday (either Paul McCartney or Eva Cassidy version)
More Than Words (Extreme)
Say You, Say Me (Lionel Richie)

what it's like- everlast

For me i would have to say Skillet: A Little More

Devendra Banhart - A Ribbon

I can't even say for sure if this one makes me happy or sad. It just makes me... I dunno.

Intro music, final fantasy 7.

lol for the ff7 music I would have to say Aeris(Aerith) theme the Orchestral version from Advent Children

the opposite of the most beautiful song...hocus pocus by focus

also, some of soothsayer (by buckethead) is pretty beautiful

Don't forget Wishing Well by Buckethead

Joseph Arthur - In The Sun
Damien Rice - Cannonball
Joseph Arthur - Honey and The Moon
Edwin McCain - I'll Be

I really like Carl Orff's Carmina Burana

Also, every time I listen to to Cra2y Sunshine by the Pillows I start cry my eyes out. It Reminds me of a someone special. She moved to Boston for school... I didn't go with her. She... Was an angel. The song has this feel to it that could not be said better if I could understand the words (its in japanese, and i don't speak japanese)

Its like the feeling I get from the song is exactly how I felt when she moved, and I stayed. Its not a sad feeling... more of a it was fun.. more then that, it was heaven... but It couldn't really last. It might have but it was better this way in the long run. And If we go separate ways now, we could look back and know it was ended because we choose to mutually, and not feel bad knowing we left the other hurt, unable to look back on the good times because it ended bad. Anyway, the song is just good because it syncs so well with my and myself; and when you can share an experience like that, that well, without using words... that's skill.

Also, soothsayer has always been one of my favorite songs ever. Both times buckethead came to town, I was there to see him live (I have 3 gigs of him on my comy lol)

I prefer Avenged Sevenfold.
Their song, Strength of the World...its epic.

Pachelbel - Canon in D

Yeah, doesn't get more beautiful than this.

Me and some other brass players actually played that while we were waiting before a concert (as in, we taught ourselves how to play in like 5 minutes then played for another 10 or so). I kinda like it better as a brass canon, but yeah, it's a pretty nice song

Champions Of Nothing by Matthew Good

It's the only answer that could ever apply for this question for me; here's two versions of it... both album and live album versions.

I love that song. One of my absolute favorites.

oh and DM - excellent choice.

I love classical music. I could listen to it all the time. There is something about classical music that you find so rarely anymore in music.

Well for me...

1~Alizee - Moi...lolita (It's french, but I still love it)
2~The Myriad - A Clean Shot (Normally, I'm not into love songs, but...)
3~Red - Lost
4~Kaskade - 4 AM
5~Massive Attack - Teardrop (It's relaxing)
6~Plumb - In My Arms (Mother and her child. What is more beautiful?)

Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen one of my favorite songs as a song writer and poet.

~ Lyrics ~

Now I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Baby I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light
In every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

I find Jane's Addictions "Three Days" to be one of the most amazing and beatufil pieces of music ever, also Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven is amazing as well.

Take A Bow - Muse

Nutshell- Alice In Chains

WeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEE just frickin makes me tingle.
