Most Beautiful Song(s) You Know

I'm not talking about good chord progressions, I'm talking about songs so full of emotion that it's nearly overwhelming.

For me, the following can make me cry if I'm depressed enough (and I don't cry easily):

The Day The World Went Away (Quiet) - Nine Inch Nails
La Mer - Nine Inch Nails

Your turn.

-Smitten Kitten-

Hurt - NIN

Paranoid Android - Radiohead
Karma Police - Radiohead
and
Territoral Pissings - Nirvana ( not sad, but when its aggressive)

I'm gonna be really sad and say "Here, There and Everywhere" by The Beatles but a really beautiful song is "4st 7lbs" by my beloved Manic Street Preachers. It contains the lyric "Self worth scatters/self esteems a bore/I've long since moved to a higher plateau/theres discipline so rare so please applaud/just look at the fat scum who pamper me so" It's about anorexia.

never heard it

Go out and buy "The Holy Bible" album by Manic Street Preachers. It will change your life or your money back.

Actually, the most beautiful piece of music is probably "Adagio for Strings" by Samuel Barber. In the right mood that can make me cry.

remember when - alan jackson

hhhmm...
well it has to be love song for a vampire by annie lenox for the Bram strokers dracula movie. the most beautiful lyrics ever, my fav part has to be "once i held the rarest rose, that never deemed to bloom.cruel winter chilled the bud, and stole my flower too soon". it's so sad...and well-wrtten lyrics....they describe batsy so well 🙁
second is a tie between, my heart will go on by celine dion and i would do anything for love by meatloaf. the first one is my fav for obvious reasons...and the second is mainly beacuse of the video, it's set in this gothic castle from a where a beast watches a beauty...i LOVE that video, amazing song too!

Well, if we're talking about lyrics... "What it's Like" by Everlast, "I Miss You" by blink-182, and "Heart-Shaped Box" by Nirvana.

almost any song from bob marley..

"The End" by The Doors

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah...

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

Until-Sting and Yesterday-Beatles

Strange Glue - Catatonia (part of the chorus is in my sig)

Hallilujah - Jeff Buckly (originaly by Leonard Cohan but I've only heard the Buckley version)

Nirvana's cover of Leadbelly's 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night', on MTV Unplugged, simply for the raw emotion in Kurt's voice when he screms the final chorus and his voice breaks. Porbably my fav song of all time.

Tonight Tonight - Smashing Pumpkins

A Perfect Circle-Rose

Glassjaw-Ape Dos Mil (mainly cos of Daryl's voice)

Korn-Kill You (starts off aggressive and angry, but disintegrates into whispers and sobs. amazingly emotive.)

but for me the winner would have to be

Pink Floyd-Comfortably Numb
its just perfect.

Pain of Salvation - This Heart of Mine, Second Love
Nightwish - Sleeping Sun, Forever Yours
Lacuna Coil - Cold Heritage, Falling Again, Entwined
Iced Earth - I Died For You
Type O Negative - Love You To Death
Rain Fell Within - Believe
VNV Nation - Dark Angel
Our Lady Peace - Not Enough

Evanescence - My Immortal
Savage Garden - Truly Madly Deeply, I Knew I Loved You, Gunning Down Romance
Mariah - Hero
Enrique - Hero
The Calling - Unstoppable
