Most achingly-beautiful music


Ultimately, we listen to music to be moved, for example, to be elated, exulted, calmed or pained. Which are the 3 most affecting pieces of music do you find the most affecting?

Greetings, newbie here.

Robbie Williams, The Ego Has Landed, 4th track called Strong.
George Winston, December.
Fresh Aire II.
Gordon Lightfoot, Pussy Willows Cattails, and Affair on Eighth Avenue are fantastic. (Back when he was singing correctly, with support and an open throat.)

All of Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon, but specifically Us And Them, and That Great Gig in the Sky.

I will 2nd the Moody Blues nomination. To Our Children's Children's Children is an amazing effort, start to finish, but to stay with the category description, specifically the song "Out and In".

Don Quixote, with Richard Kiley and Joan Diener, Dulcinea, and What Do You Want of Me?

I am trying very hard to keep to the "achingly beautiful" songs, but there is just so much wonderful stuff out there...

Oh, Annie Lennox, Medusa, the songs No More I Love Yours, and Waiting in Vain. The latter is fantastic!
