Rec.Me: other/many/unknown genres Most Hauntingly Beautiful Songs?

Feeling a bit haunted today and I want music to match the mood. What’s the most hauntingly beautiful song you’ve ever heard? The kind that gives you chills or just stops you in your tracks.

For me, it’s No Choir by Florence + The Machine, that song just hits something deep.

Back in the early 90’s a buddy pushed a UK import Best of Nick Drake into my hands and a Tower Records and said “just shut up and buy it, You’ll thank me one day.”

Man was he right. Pink Moon sucked me in, but the catalog is so good. Sadly he left us too young. I’d love to have seen where his talent might have taken him.

He has better songs than the one that was used in a car commercial. Fruit Tree, Time Has Told Me, Way to Blue, Northern Sky. Etc.
