I love the song "Lyin' Eyes" by the Eagles, "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton, and "Dear Mama" by 2Pac.

I was just listening to the songs you commented and when I read what Tears in Heaven was about when I watched it. It honestly made me cry <3 So beautiful and sad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdDiRK8jfMw "Bist du bei mir, geh ich mit Freuden" (If you are with me, I go with joy) , aria from the opera "Diomedes" from Gottfied Heinrich Stölzel is maybe one of my all-time favorite songs.  Whenever someone says that old and boring line: "German is such an ugly and aggressive language", I make them listen this song.

This song is beautiful any language will sound aggressive if done in the right tone.

Well, for me it's this song.

I'm not ashamed that I cried to this in the past.

You shouldn't feel ashamed it is a beautiful song. 

[Oleks 1,983]

Der Morgen Danach by Lacrimosa was probably the first song that made me want to use the word "beautiful" when describing it. Yeah, I have a weird taste.

 

[Jeric 46,835]

 

That is one of them. Here are a few other mentions

And my two favs

 

 

[The Recherche 29,965]

I am not one who is easily moved by music... but this song is among the most beautiful I have heard, period. If you know me, then I'm sure you know what this song is.

Spoiler

 

Though I am typically impartial to songs that last for 10+ minutes, this is one of the few songs which such length feels appropriate. The quality of music is among the most subjective concepts there is... but in my opinion, this is the most sincere, heartfelt, and moving songs out there.

[Frostgage 7,972]

Oh man way too many to name - I consider just about every song I like (and even those I don't) to be beautiful in some way or other. I'll just leave this one only - I can see why a lot of people wouldn't view it as beautiful but it's really a matter of perspective.

I always thought "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel is one of the most beautiful and powerful songs ever written.

(Not the "Disturbed" cover)

 

 

 

[Crystal Peppermint 1,108]

Hard to say. I have so many songs i would consider beautiful.

But first i would this in mind.

 

[Envy 6,000]

Just to get this out of the way: Beautiful for me has nothing to do with the message of any of these songs/pieces. I am purely judging them by the instrumentation/sound.

On the pop side:

On the folk side:

This one'll sound weird to a lot of people. Of course, I adore the crumhorn ensemble intro. I love it so much, but the portion that I think is immensely beautiful starts around 4:15

 

On the Early Music/Classical side (probably the most beautiful IMO despite being put third here, as you may infer from it being a much longer list lol):

Spoiler

We go waayyy back to ancient Greece for the next one!

(Renaissance polyphonic choral music is a treasure trove of immensely beautiful music.

In the middle of Stravinsky's striking ballet The Rite of Spring there is this gem, this incredibly beautiful section. It's highly dissonant, but it is so beautiful in its own way.

Last, but not least... Holst's Planets. These three are so beautiful:

Yeah I have listened to this one a few times it is a beautiful song.

 

[Phosphor 11,522]

I find Love Walks In by Van Halen to be a beautiful song

 

[ZiggWheelsManning 7,371]

Any song by the French musical project ERA  

[Gone Airbourne 21,969]

Teach me how to speak ~ teach me how to share... teach me where to go.. tell me will love be there?

[ComanderZhabikKlavik 935]

Soviet WW2 Song

 

[Iforgotmybrain 3,514]

You could make an entire list of beautiful songs filled just with Sufjan Stevens.

Same with Jeff Buckley.

[ComanderZhabikKlavik 935]

Die Grenzwacht hielt im Osten (The border guard stopped to the east).

 

[Sir Hugsalot 8,621]

 

As a certified metalhead I will put here one of my newest finds :3 The intensity of the chorus simply blows me away in this one 

[Dreambiscuit 8,024]

My favorite song, ‘Smile’ by Charlie Chaplin, sung by Jimmy Durante is the most beautiful thing in the world.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOVmlTBX-t0

‘What A Wonderful World’ as sung by Louis Armstrong is another big one on the list.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A3yCcXgbKrE

‘Alfie’ sung by Jack Jones is sublime.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEuaUStoDYU

‘On the Street Where You Live’ from My Fair Lady is a glorious power ballad.

It’s not easy to narrow down the list to just a few gems like this, but I have a very long playlist of special faves and I could go on forever listing them here.
