The Most Beautiful Song You've Ever Heard

[consentida]

What is the most beautiful song you've ever heard? I mean in terms of lyrics, tune, and the meaning of the song.

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard was "Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler. I love that song. I cry when I hear it. Another song that I think is exceptionally beautiful is "Underneath your Clothes" by Shakira beacuse of the 'hidden' meaning to the song and just the way it is sung.

What about you guys?

[vienna waits]

Its not the most beautiful but I like "Cry" by Mandy Moore. I also like Sing Music Sing by Allison Fonte on NMMC but no ones heard that more than likely.

[XoVanillaRain90oX]

This Veil by Corry Sipper and umm Stand By Me by John Lennon.

[Ewan's My Man]

I agree with Jeff..."Cry" by Mandy Moore is awesome. I also LUV "Your Song"...it is originally by Elton John...but I like the version by Ewan McGregor...from Moulin Rouge. I also luv Come What May by Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor from Moulin Rouge...so...yea...lol. I also think that Don't Let Me Get Me, Lonely Girl, and Family Portrait by Pink are all really good ones.

[Kitt]

I'm incapable of answering these knds of questions without qualifying my answer by first stateing that it's impossible for me to choose the "most, best , worst" of anything. And now, one good sample of a song that puts me into a state of bliss and utter transfixation: "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" from "Avida". Both the movie version, with Madonna singing, and the stage play, which, If life treated me better, I would have seen but I've had to settle for watching and hearing it on PBS. I don't know the singers name who was on the stage, but knowing that even one human being can sing like her, makes earth seem like a planet with some real promise.

I love that song. How in the world could I forget to mention that song. And "I Could Fall In Love" is a wonderful song too.

To Selena: Rest In Piece. We all Love and Miss you.
Siempre Selena

Oh and I almost forgot..."The Power Of One" by Donna Summer is such a beautiful song. I cry when I hear that one too. Its so meaningful and is performed so well.

[Warm & Fuzzy]

Definitely "Don't Cry, Joanie" by Conway Twitty! Yeah, it's sad, but it's really nice and touching.

[Chocoholic]

"One More Day" by Diamond Rio
"I'm Already There" by Lonestar
"The Last Song" by Elton John
"He's My Son" I don't know the singer's name, but this song just sends chills up my spine. It's about a man praying to God to let him take the place of his critically-ill son.
"Fire and Rain" by James Taylor

[JoPol_wannabe]

Dan Fogelber- Longer
Doobie Brothers- What a Fool Believes

[Cokies]

If I was seven years old, I'd tell you it is "Dreams to Dream" by Linda Ronstadt. From the "Fivel Goes West" soundtrack. I used to cry everytime I'd hear it.

Now, I'd have to say a beautiful song would be this song called "Motorcycle Emptiness" by a band called the Manic Street Preachers. It's got the soaring guitars and the atmospheric feel to it. (Mossopp may know what I'm talking about...).

Call me cheesy, but I was just listening to "Ordinary World" by Duran Duran on Winamp, and that song is actually quite nice.... :blush:

[*Marilyn Monroe*]

I love the song Superman by Five for Fighting, because I love instrumental things, and I also love Amazed by Lonestar. Those two songs are beautiful!! My boyfriend hates that mushy stuff, but he doesn't have much of a say. Also, My Sacrifice by Creed.

"Fire and Rain" by James Taylor

OMG, Kristen! :eek: That is such a powerful song...the artist's name is Mark Schultz. I usually don't listen to the Christian station, but sometimes I'll check it out, and one day I heard this on the way to my (then) summer job a couple of years ago.

I knew right then and there I had to get whatever album that was on---and I'm usually not that affected right away by 1 song.

That's from Mark's debut album (self-titled), and he released his 2nd one last fall. Kristen, this man is amazing---just wait till you read the liner notes. And he writes all of his songs (except for one which was a cover).

And "He's My Son" is indeed a true story---he got a lot of his song inspiration and tales from bein' a Youth Minister at a church before he landed his record deal.

I strongly encourage you to get his album, it is well-worth it! :)

Byron

[Chocoholic]

Thanks, Byron :) I was trying to find out who sung that song, but I could never figure out who it was. I'll have to look for Mark's CD next time I'm at the store. It is a beautiful song.

[KerriBerri687]

Christmas Shoes by uh.....someone

THAT SONG IS SO DEPRESSING THO!!!! AAAAH

oh yea and also "She didnt know she kissed a Hero" <-- another depressing one!:(

[JethroSimpson]

I think Accross The universe by The Beatles is a really beautiul song.

[dawsongirl]

The Dance by Garth Brooks
Cat's in the Cradle by Harry Chapin- I cry at that song everytime
In the Living Years by Mike and the Mechanics- another tear jerker

[Mossopp]

Like KittFlynn, I too have to begin by saying that this list is by no means exhaustive and there are probably many songs which I should mention that I've simply forgotten about at the moment -

'Stolen Car' - Beth Orton
'Stand By Me' - Ben E. King (John Lennon's version was nowhere near as good)
'Don't Cry' - Guns n Roses
'Country Feedback' - REM
'Without You I'm Nothing' - Placebo (always reminds me of a special person who is no longer in my life.....)
'I Love You Anyways' - Travis
'Love Will Tear Us Apart' - Joy Division
'Nothing Else Matters' - Metallica
'The Bitterest Pill' - The Jam
'Hazard' - Richard Marx
'Drive' - The Cars
'Afraid To Shoot Strangers' - Iron Maiden

Cokies mentioned 'Motorcycle Emptiness' by The Manics. I went looking through my entire collection of early Manics stuff (back in the days when they were actually a decent band) because I felt like they should have at least one song on my list. Unfortunetly I couldn't narrow it down to just one so.....

[QueenOfTheGypsies]

"Tears In Heaven" by Eric Clapton
"In This Life" by Bette Midler (Collin Raye also does a version of this song, but I prefer Bette's version. It gives me the chills)
"Against All Odds" by Phil Collins
"Lullaby" by Billy Joel
"The Car" by Jeff Carson

[Plata]

"Private Emotion" by Ricky Martin and Meja. I also like the song "Last Dance" by Donna Summer.

I also like the song "Dreaming Of You" by Selena. Other songs by Selena that I like are: "Amor Prohibido", "Dondequiera Que Estes", "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom", "Is It The Beat", "La Llamada", "Amame', "Captive Heart", "I'm Getting Used To You", "Ya No", "Fotos Y Recuerdos", and "La Bamba", which was originally done, I think, by Ritchie Valens in the 1950s.

Plata: You're a Selena fan right? you seem like it. I love Selena. and you're right. "La Bamba" was originally done by Ritchie Valens in like 1958 or somewhere around there.

Hey Karli...I think we have another Selena fan here...YAY

[JT]

Why do beautiful songs have to be sad?My list:

"Three's Company Too" by Ray Charles and Julia Rinker

"stand by me"..it was like my friend and me's song...:(

"A new day has come" by celine dion cuz of all that has happened and she's been so strong..i started crying when i first heard it on 20/20..so emotional.

[InspectorExstead]

[Mysty Eyes]

Many, many, many! Many songs are magical! Far too many to single out, but...

The first to enter my mind: The Impossible Dream

Second: Tears In Heaven (Clapton)

[mamamiasweetpeaches]

"What a Wonderful World"by Louis Armstrong.You know the one...they play it at weddings "I hear babies cry,I watch them grow,they'll learn much more than I'll ever know,and I think to myself What A Wonderful World" Geez,it gives me shivers!!!
Another touching one is "the first time ever I saw your face"by Roberta Flack.
A corny one that makes me cry is "Butterfly Kisses"...the part where he's getting ready to walk his daughter down the aisle and she's saying "Daddy dont cry"and he goes I CANT BELIEVE I'M LOSING MY BABY TODAY"I'm cryin just typing it!!!!!

[-*Forever*-]

"Underneath Your Clothes" ~ Shakira

"The Mummer's Dance" by Lorenna McKennit

[InspectorExstead]

and selena's "i'm dreaming of u" too cuz it's sad how she's gone. :( she had a really nice voice.

The most beautiful song would have to be THe Bad Touch by THe Bloodhound Gang j/k. Take my Breath Away by Berlin is my fav. I got some more ideas by looking at everyone elses. Some more that I like include the following: The Rose-Bette Midler, Long, Long, Time-Linda Ronstadt, ummm The FOL theme tears me up & brings me to tears lol, someone mentioned Hazard by Richard Marx & I love that song, geez I already forgot the rest..WEll I might be back later.

Yes I LOVE Private Emotions.

And about Selena... yes. I love all her songs. I listen to my CD's of her 24/7. Like I'm listening to Como La Flor right now...It's so sad that it will be 7 years tomorrow... March 31st.

Late at night when all the world... is sleeping, I stay up and think of you. And still can't believe, that you came up to me and said "I Love You", I love you too. I'll be dreaming with you tonight, 'till tomorrow, and for all of my life....

Great!!! You know, I cry everytime I think of Selena. Such a sad ending for her. The other day I was reading the all transcripts for Yolanda's trial in court.

Also, isn't J Lo scary in "Selena"? I mean, she looks just like her. You would think it was actually Selena coming back....

[neo123]

"Dear Friends", and "These Are The Days Of Our Lives" by Queen

...and I think that song "I Hope You Dance" is kinda touching too!! Everytime I hear it, my heart warms up and I almost get a tear in the eye.:crying: :eek3:

[mamamiasweetpeaches]

"I Hope You Dance"is touching!!!!!!One day I had a fight with my little girl and dropped her off at Grandmas just to give myself a break.As I walked through the supermarket that song came on and I broke into tears!!!!!They'll have to play that one at her wedding one day!!!!!

Well I was just doing a random search for Selena, so I don't know the name of the site or the address. But I'll certainly try and find it for you!!!
