Beautiful songs?

I love some of the classical musicians like Chopin but for more modern music I love artists like Mono, The Divine comedy, The Album leaf, and certain Nick Cave songs among tons of others I cant think of right now. There are some beatiful modern songs. This is a personal favorite of mine.

Funny how a lot of the most beautiful songs are also quite sad and tragic.

Stop Swimming by Porcupine Tree is up there. On Warszawa SW did say "This is a very sad song, but, if you're like me I always find the saddest music is also the most beautiful".

This

Nutshell - Alice In Chains

The Great Below - nin

Like Spinning Plates - Radiohead

A Therapy for Pain - Fear Factory

others

Obviously I don't mind a little discordance with my cream

The song is also from my favorite album of theirs.

Lacrimosa has some of the most beautiful modern songs I've ever heard. I quite like Sacrifice, Eine Nacht in Ewigkeit, Stumme Worte, Am Ende der Stille, and Hohelied der Liebe.

Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

Love this.

Necropedophile - Cannibal Corpse

I watched that Elbow video just a few days ago! Beautiful indeed, great band.

Check out this song by Beach House. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90ipyWYO3LM

So dreamy..

Mad World - Gary Jules

Portishead - The Rip

Tom Waits - Take It With Me

Tom Waits - Train Song

Radiohead - True Love Waits

The Hold Steady - First Night

Spiritualized - Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space (The real version is so much better though)

Ryan Adams - Oh My Sweet Carolina

Mt. Eden - Sierra Leone

I don't think it qualifies as a "beautiful' song to most people but I think it is.

'No Cars Go' - Arcade Fire

'Crown of Love' - Arcade Fire

I love these two songs so much. I honestly believe they are two of the best songs I have ever heard.

"Ashokan Farewell," the theme song to "The Civil War," a 1990 PBS documentary. It's one of those heartbreaking violin solos. It's a wonderful, paradoxical mixture: Tremendous feeling of loss, desire, and hope.

It's a song from the show Lost...I love it...
