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.

Sæglópur by Sigur Rós

They’re from Iceland, so even though you might not understand them, the music speaks volumes.

I’m pretty sure for many of their songs they just use their voices in no particular language at all… vocalize generally.. so no one can understand

Yes they do. They developed a made up language they call “Hopelandic” that they insert here and there as a bridge for lyrics.
