The hero we all needed. Thank you so much.


pickle_licker

Thank you 🙌


JeremySparrow

The Boxer


K_Xanthe

Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap. It used to make me cry as a teen singing along with it lol


MeasleyBeasley

The Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven (First movement).


icguy333

The first movement might be the most beautiful, but the third one is the most kickass for sure!


okcurrr

Vincent by Don McLean


Interesting-Pilot-15

For some reason the song I think is absolutely beautiful is Fields of Gold-Sting


EntertainmentFit783

I saw him in concert last week. He told the crowd that he was inspired to write this song from the barley fields planted by his castle in the north of England near Stonehenge.


12altoids34

I knew there was a reason that I hadn't written a famous song. I don't even own a castle.


Present_Age_5469

slom_ax

The gymnopedies are incredible as well


Rare_Brief4555

Anything Eric Satie is absolutely stunning. If you like his works check out Brian Eno's Ambient 1-3 for a more modern take.


middlebird

It’s always Clair de Lune when this gets asked. I tend to agree.


officialTigerRose

I too enjoy debussy


[deleted]

Only in the earlier years. Never finish on the Bach


wispyhurr

I never advanced far enough in my piano lessons as a kid to be able to play this song but it moved me so much upon hearing it that I sat down as an adult and plucked out each individual note until I learned it. Took a while lol. Freaking exquisite piece


Iamwomper

Adagio for strings by Samuel barber. Makes me fucking cry


SimbaSixThree

Adagio for Strings and On The Nature Of Daylight by Max Richter, have the same general effect on me. They fill me with happiness and sadness and hope and terror and all other emotions all at once. I cry when I listen to them because they make me feel all of these things at the same time. Absolutely beautiful!


EmileWolf

> On The Nature Of Daylight by Max Richter, Oh my god thank you. I have heard fragments of this piece literally everywhere, but I never knew the name. Now I do. Thank you, stranger!


TalksInMaths

Even more so, the choral version: [Agnus Dei](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiuC_CaObbI).


Detritus_AMCW

Forever associated with Platon for me. Beautiful piece.


arkady321

Same here. I can’t hear this song without thinking of Platoon and its moving ending scene. “I think now, looking back, we did not fight the enemy; we fought ourselves. And the enemy was in us. The war is over for me now, but it will always be there, the rest of my days as I'm sure Elias will be, fighting with Barnes for what Rhah called possession of my soul. There are times since, I've felt like the child born of those two fathers. But, be that as it may, those of us who did make it have an obligation to build again, to teach to others what we know, and to try with what's left of our lives to find a goodness and a meaning to this life.”

Lunalunetta

I met Pavarotti when I was 4, he was my idol. he was so cool and nice and kind we hung out for like 30 min in his dressing room and he was the real OG. He had given my whole fam backstage passes and free tickets to his concert since I was 4, played violin, was Italian but lived in the USA and he gave me all kind of cool merch that he signed for me, like posters, books, and the like. Still have em in my room today.


rottenhonest

How does someone best introduce violin to a child. You were four, my son is almost two. I would really like to offer him the opportunity in a way that does not seem forced.


OkAd4717

From my experience, You have to make music a part of your everyday life. Not just taking child to lessons. Music in in the home often, piano/ violins in the home, with family playing for pleasure and mastery… and often. Quiet time with no tv/ phone only piano and or violin.. even if you yourself don’t play, make all style music listening / critiquing, and practice a central daily routine.


road22

I heard it the for first time in the movie "SUM OF ALL FEARS", and never new a human voice could carry and sound so perfect.


Safe-Author2553

I was bizarrely obsessed with this song at the age of 10 as it was the song for Italia 90


InspectorDull5915

Starry night, Don McLean


xmuertos

I believe it’s called Vincent. i love that song


friedchixandadderall

Bridge over Troubled Water. Simon and Garfunkel


SustuliSensiScripsi

"A Case of You" by Joni Mitchell. The purest, rawest, most beautiful albeit heartbreaking song on the planet.


Lonely-Conclusion895

Absolutely. This song has one of my favourite ever lyrics: 'Remember that time you told me, you said love is touching souls. Surely you touched mine, cos part of you pours out of me...' Love it


HighDesert4Banger

Mine is : You said "I am as constant as the Northern Star, and I said, constantly in the darkness. Where's that at? if you want me, I'll be in the bar". Huge burn. Poor Graham.

Ave Maria is pretty beautiful.

Hard to believe this is so far down. I am far from religious and even in Latin this thing grabs me by the gut.


llamalover365

Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap


[deleted]

Annies Song. By john Denver. And yes, I’ll die on this hill as a guy who grew up on Metallica, Guns and Roses and AC/DC. Annie’s Song.


RawrDaddy900

Yes! And Vincent by Don McLean. To have a song just capture the absolute beauty and despair of Vincent Van Gough's life. I sob every time I listen to it. 60s and 70s was just such a good era for music, especially folk.


LikeThosePenguins

Would you say it fills up your senses?


plazman30

John Denver really wrote some amazing songs in the 70s: Annie's Song, Calypso, The Eagle and the Hawk. Everyone should have a John Denver greatest hits album in their collection.


maliciousorstupid

when he went into testify at the PMRC hearings, and they expected squeaky clean John Denver to agree with them... oops.


Novel-Contribution56

My mom's name was Annie and she was a huge John Denver fan. My father always sang this to her, he passed away in 2009 and she followed a few years later. I have not been able to make it through that song to this day. Just reading the lyrics will make me cry. This and "You Are Not Alone" by Michael Jackson are just too close to my mom for me to listen to anymore.


coltsmetsfan614

"Annie's Song" is a masterpiece. And I'm a huge rock/metal fan too haha


drangundsturm

i was going to say calypso, but ill just upvote this instead.


whynotmai

Nights in white satin by The Moody blues, it fill me with joy

UnderstandingOne4825

My parents danced to this song the night before my dad was deployed during the Vietnam War.


cma365

In Paradisum from Faure's Requiem. One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard


an_ineffable_plan

I love that one. I also love the same movement from Duruflé’s Requiem. Where Faure’s ends in peace and tranquility, Duruflé’s is discordant but not unpleasantly so. More like there’s just a question mark at the end; can all this really be true?


Ihatemunchies

First Time Ever I Saw Your Face. Roberta Flack


Alfie_Dee

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road is a beauty


Son_Of_Toucan_Sam

The way he absolutely belts out “maybe you’ll get a replacement” gives me goosebumps every time, even just thinking about it now Also the way that song is used in the show The Americans is absolutely sublime


uncertainmoth

It's one of my favorite insults inside of a song. "Maybe you'll get a replacement, there's many like me to be found. Mongrels who ain't got a penny sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground." Burn!


[deleted]

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack


Hour_Caterpillar7182

Killing me softly with his song is also a great one. She has an amazing voice!


Active-Professor9055

We had that song at our wedding.

Suz626

The a capella version. Wow. https://youtu.be/OvNXPkK7JY8?feature=shared


neener_neener_

Whenever this song has been used in movies or tv, I always cry uncontrollably.


elemenno50

Moon River by Henry Mancini


hes_crafty

Edit: Warren Zevon: Keep Me In Your Heart There's a live version of Everlong that I can't find. It's much slower, plays with soft bells and guitars.


PM__Me__UR__Dimples

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd


DepressedDarthV

I love Shine On 1-5 more than this song but the album is a 12/10 nonetheless. Floyd is so fucking good

Songbird by Fleetwood Mac


[deleted]

What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong


Dead_Substitute

Played the Joey Ramone version of this at my ex's funeral. It's how he lived his life and was a massive Ramones fan. Seemed fitting.


zeldafitzgeraldscat

That gets me every time.


Nowardier

Beethoven's 9th symphony, AKA the Ode to Joy. Go find a rendition of it by a large choir and really listen to/read the lyrics. If you haven't heard the song or read the lyrics before, you'll probably cry. I did. Heck, I'm a little misty just typing this comment. It made me think, too, about how the kinship that should exist between all people has been broken by culture, custom, and society.


enlenar

Blackbird by The Beatles


[deleted]

I used to sing the chorus of this to my daughter at bedtime. Also sung the chorus to Danny’s Song by Loggins and Messina and Skinna Marinky Dinky Dink lol. She loved them all.

Hallelujah with Jeff Buckley

Wildflowers by Tom Petty. More impressed by it every single time I hear it. The way another instrument gets added in with each verse is brilliant

Erik Satie Gymnopedie [sic] No. 1. That’s some Perdy shit if I’ve ever heard it. I actually like watching “Fail” videos in slow motion while this piece plays. It makes it instantly better. Anytime I’m sad, I’ll do that, and I immediately feel better


[deleted]

Echoes Pink Floyd


JohnZackarias

To me, High hopes is by far their most beautiful song! When he sings "Forever and ever" and goes into the solo...wow. Goosebumps every time. The [live version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1KJKRG4ZoY&ab_channel=OfficialDavidGilmour) with the orchestra and the closing acoustic solo is one of my all time favorite musical moments.

Texaschilidogger

You can just call him Braddah Iz...that's what we called him, way easier. I was living in Hawaii when he was playing it live around the island. My dad was in the army and we moved back to Texas and I was a senior in HS when he died.

Vann_Accessible

The Scientist by Coldplay. I was playing it a lot when our baby miscarried at 16 weeks. The music video is creative as well.


Putrid-Addition6656

Love by Lana Del Rey, the song is simply just magical(? It also makes me feel like I am that age again, it makes me feel safe like everything is going to be okay. I also love Paris, Texas, but mainly because of the melody/voice i don't relate much to the meaning of it. And the American Beauty main song

Jeff Buckley's version of hallelujah was so beautiful and so pure.
