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?

Sophia - Nerina Pallot
Breathe Again, you matter to me and she used to be mine - all by Sara Bareilles

Simple Twist of Fate - Bob Dylan

If we're comparing renditions of Ave Maria, this one beats them all for me...

"Before The Winter Parade" - Ben Christophers

"Cowboys and Angels" - George Michael

Basically anything by Chris Stapleton, that mans voice is divine. Fire Away and Joy of my Life get special mention, the former for showcasing said voice and the latter because the sentiment is gorgeous.

El Condor Pasa and The Sound of Silence
Simon & Garfunkel

Forbidden Colours - David Sylvian
My Only Love - Roxy Music
Don't Cry Out Loud - Ellie Brooks
As someone has said, Amoureuse - Kiki Dee
Betcha by golly wow - The Stylistics
Midnight Train to Georgia - Gladys Knight. Mainly because it was my mums favourite song.
