Beautiful songs

[Thatwithbellson]

To Build A Home by The Cinematic Orchestra, Beyoncé’s Ave Maria and Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah are, in my opinion, just beautiful songs. I’m sat with a glass of wine and Alexa. What are your favourite beautiful songs that should be added to the beautiful songs playlist of the evening?

This is how Ave Maria should be sung -

Beyoncé’s version is dreadful.

Pie Jesu

I love, love, love that Cinematic Orchestra song! I'm almost asleep but will find you with others tomorrow - probably some Beach House, or Villagers @Thatwithbellson

Eva Cassidy- Songbird

Sung live and a beautiful song

Kiki Dee Amoureuse

Wartime Prayers by Paul Simon

Songbird - Fleetwood Mac

This woman's work - Kate Bush

Can’t find my way home home - Blind Faith

I love To Build A Home! Even though I primarily associate it with the deaths of TV characters
I love most Brandi Carlisle - Mother.

John Denver - Annie’s Song

Song to the siren - mortal coil
This Shirt - Mary chapin carpenter
Martha - tom waits
Heroin - velvet underground

Gladys Knight Help me make it through the night. Although this is a cover, I think her version is the best.
