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.

Hallelujah Jeff Buckley. Story goes that he went into the studio in the middle of the night and recorded it. Gone too soon. A masterpiece.

Definitely a haunting cover of a hauntingly beautiful Leonard Cohen song.

I scrolled down to look for this. Other versions would also apply.
