Most Beautiful Song You've Heard?

I guess I'll just start. Would probably go with "April Come She Will" by Simon & Garfunkel. Your turn.

(I'm straight btw, thanks for asking)

Two songs that I can always count on to cheer me up after a shitty day are "Gimme Shelter" by the Stones and "Naive Melody" by Talking Heads (cliche, I know). "Do it Again" by Steely Dan is another one that comes to mind. Not really sure if any of these qualify as 'most beautiful' but they do the trick for me time and time again.

I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Too many great songs to choose from but now that you mentioned Simon & Garfunkel, I'd pick Bridge over Troubled Water. Such an uplifting song and perfectly suitable for so many occasions, whether comforting someone who is ill or a wedding reception.

Too late for second-guessing Too late to go back to sleep.

It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves.

For sake of not being particularly unique, I'll refrain from giving Moonlight Sonata as my answer (though for me, it is THE answer).

But on a personal level, Song to Say Goodbye by Placebo always gets me.
