I’m always in the lookout for a really emotional song that gives you goosebumps. I currently like ’By your Side’ (Abbey Road Live Version) by Jonas Blue. What’s your favourite beautiful song?

Oh so many lovely songs.

i also love lullabye by Billy Joel as it is played or sung most nights with my kids.

Also Winner takes it all ABBA and Fade into You by Mazzy Star

Moonmelodies · 02/07/2022 20:02

I like the This Mortal Coil (Cocteau Twins) version of Song To The Siren.

So many to choose from but Monsters by James Blunt or Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton are standouts for me.

"Sovereign" by The Duke Spirit

itssquidstella · 02/07/2022 20:57

I’ve already mentioned it, but I love this song so much I think it's worth posting a link:

PoshHorseyBird · 02/07/2022 20:59

Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran. I first heard this after my Mum died and I literally sobbed.
Also the song One Step Up by Bruce Springsteen. The guitar music is hauntingly beautiful.

LethargeMarg · 02/07/2022 21:00

Catch the wind by Donovan

Etolie · 02/07/2022 21:03

Kiss of Life by Shade

I can’t Make you Love Me by George Michael

Arianne by Johnny Mathis (beautiful old song)

Snugglepumpkin · 02/07/2022 21:05

"Dream a Little Dream of Me" by Mama Cass.

"Looking For A Place To Shine" by Clare Bowen (from Nashville)

Strathyre · 02/07/2022 21:08

Joni Mitchell "A Case of You"

Strathyre · 02/07/2022 21:12

@Figrolls14 I was surprised there isn't more Joni Mitchell on this thread but I like that we picked the same song. I love that song, the opening chords are just beautiful, and the lyrics.

pantherrose · 02/07/2022 21:13

Water boys, When ye go away
Blind Faith/Stevie Winwood, Can't find my way home
Billy Joel, Piano Man

Vampirethriller · 02/07/2022 21:17

Samson- Regina Spektor
Feather on the Clyde- Passenger
Con te Partiro- Andrea Bocelli

I can't listen to them now because they remind me of too much but they're very beautiful.

DappledOliveGroves · 02/07/2022 21:19

Alice by the Cocteau Twins. Staggering beautiful song.

Forever Autumn - Jeff Wayne

Still In Love With You - Thin Lizzy

Till You Come Back To Me, Aretha Franklin

HotMess21 · 02/07/2022 21:31

This thread is just wonderful!

“Bat’s Mouth” by Bat for Lashes.

“Red Moon” by The Walkmen.

Cassandra Wilson’s cover of U2’s “Love Is Blindness”.

“River Man” by Nick Drake. I adore ND and, in my opinion, Andy Bey’s cover and The Swingle Singers’ live version is each sublime.

The Way We Were - Barbra Streisand
