Recommend a piece of music or a song to, well, everyone or anyone!

I'll start: Imperial March x Carol of the Bells by Samuel Kim

The Corrs, 'Haste to the Wedding.' Fantastic bit of Irish traditional music.🤗🤗🤗

Hope, Faith and You by White Buffalo. A splendid, 70s style ballad from the mid-1990s. Cliff Richard covered it but not too well.

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd. Good song to chill out to.

Cum on feel the noize / Slade

Brandy by Scott English. It's the original version of what would become Mandy by Barry Manilow. It's almost spiritual in feel.

Agape by Nicholas Britell

Never going back again - Fleetwood Mac.

Glenn Gould playing most things, but especially .

Been listening on repeat today. Quite surreal doing my Saturday Sainsbos shop with this on my headphones 😂
Elina Garanča - Saint-Saëns: 'Mon coeur s'ouvre à ta voix' from Samson et Dalila

Tchaikovsky 5th symphony third movement

Or as I first knew it, the signature tune for Murder after Midnight, a programme about classic crime that I used to listen to very late on Friday nights (long, long after midnight) on LBC in the 1980s. I was thinking about it this evening.

It could be a false memory about the music. Still a great tune though.

Third movement at 30:50!

Craig Armstrong - Ball

The Lark Ascending by Vaughn Williams.
And Jacqueline du Pré playing the Elgar cello concerto by, um, Elgar.

Saw - Young Fathers

The Queen and the Soldier - Suzanne Vega. The most perfect song ever written and sung by the most beautiful voice. Perfect.

Blink of an eye by Those Damn Crows

Gone the Rainbow - Peter, Paul and Mary.

Estranged - TingTings

Love this and may not be what some expect.

White Rabbit by George Benson💃

Brahms Intermezzo in A major. Op188, no2.
Sublime

I've Got No Chicken But I've Got 5 Wooden Chairs by Edward J Barton.

The meaning of the song is largely summed up by the title.

Farewell by Apocalyptica. If I had to listen to only one piece of music for the rest of my life, it would be this.

No Hard Feelings by Wolf Alice.
Moments of Pleasure by Kate Bush.
Cruel by Kate Rusby.
Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber.
Stardust by Nat King Cole.
O Mio Bambino Caro by Maria Callas.

All of these I’d file under ‘Beautiful’.
