music Most beautiful music you've ever heard?

[Moog the Kvlt 1,460]

This song and pretty much any other song by Godspeed You! Black Emperor are extremely beautiful, Dead Flag Blues is my personal favorite song by them.

 

"We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine and the machine is bleeding to death"

The song's lyrics are very nice too.

[Iudicium86 24]

These guys are amazing at bringing new life to the classical sound and keeping it alive. Should check them out, they also did a great Star Wars musical battle video

I've seen some people post more than one song so what the hey. Here's my personal favorite pop song ever, Wuthering Heights by the inimitable Kate Bush.

Also, kudos to the guy that mentioned Aphex Twin. Love him. I'd say my favorite piece of his is Nannou.

This is going to sound extremely weird, but oh well...I have three choices, and they're more or less because of their lyrics more than anything.

 

Exile Vilify - The National

Mad World - Gary Jules

Life Is Beautiful - Sixx A.M.

For some reason...my brain automatically links the words, "Beautiful", and "Melancholy" together.

O Magnum Mysterium by Morten Lauridsen and arranged by H. Robert Reynolds. Played it last year in concert band, it is very lyrical but gets intense near the end.

 

OMG, that piece. I played that my second semester playing bassoon, and it would always hurt my mouth so bad because I was still new to the instrument and that piece required a lot of stamina. lol.

 

Still, I do think it is beautiful. I eventually bought a recording of it in the original choral form to listen to on my MP3 devices. Still, I don't know... It's always been a depressing piece for me. That time where I played it was when my life became very depressing, and this piece would get stuck in my head and only make me feel worse... Lol. It's pretty, no doubt. It just has a sad background for me.

Another very beautiful sounding song that I would like to leave here would be Windowpane by Opeth, one of my personal favorite songs.

[GhostPony750 959]

After searching for some days, I chose two great songs:

 

Pink Floyd: Wish you were here

 

King Crimson: Epitaph

These are some of my favorite songs I guess.

The intro music to F.E.A.R, just sets the overall mood for the game, and it's quite beautiful.

 

[Prince Golden Lotus 166]

I think the most beautiful musical piece I have ever heard is one from Aviators's Aeterno album, "Find Me". It has a very catchy orchestral tune, and a very powerful atmosphere and arrangement, it's just...so astonishingly beautiful.

[cuteycindyhoney 13,306]

I am not very religious at all, but here is true beauty and purity.

 

 

 

 

[Obsolete 681]

Recently I've been listening quite a bit to Richard Einhorn's Voices of Light. It was composed as a musical accompaniment to the classic silent film The Passion of Joan of Arc, but I actually like the music on its own far more than I like the actual film.

 

Here is my favorite piece from it.

[EpitomeOfTruth 243]

DragonForce and Dream Theater.

[SkyDream 315]

The first one brings me to tears, and I just can't stop listening to it.  I mean not at all.  It's crazy. 

 

The second one really makes Porter Robinson - Language (radio edit) come alive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gets me every time.

[Professor SnuSnu 100]

The most heartfelt music I've heard in a while and it's two of my favourite compositions.

[Jaref 344]

 

Very powerful song to me. Neal Morse has the voice of an angel 

 

 

Steven Wilson's "The Raven That Refused to Sing" is a sad but beautiful tale too. Highly recommend watching the whole video

[UCD 75]

A tie for me.

 

This one from Killer Tracks is quite the piece, perfect Eastern style to it:

 

And the King of Sorrow's theme from Klonoa 2

[Deathstroke 1,564]

This masterpiece sums itself up

 

[Khaoios 1,970]

Never Forget by Martin O'Donnell, from Halo 3.  Let me tell you, once i heard that, I was literally tearing, b/c that was just beautiful,

[RippedOffMattress 314]

I've been really getting into Sufjan Stevens recently through his most loved album "Illinois". It has a strong, almost nostalgic baroque-pop vibe with some really great lyrics and singing to really give it a magical feeling while listening!

 

Here's a great example!

Deftones they have some very calming music to get lost in...

[Silver Herald 169]

The beginning to Jastrian's "I'll Fly" is beautifully produced, in my opinion at least.
