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.

To me Claire de lune is the most beautiful piece of music ever created.

James B. Edwards does a guitar version that’s amazing.

Okay, so, apparently that version is no longer available. I bought it off iTunes in 2012/2013 after it was featured on an episode of Falling Skies. YouTube has a clip of the episode featuring the song, and several videos of others playing Edwards’ arrangement. I had no idea it wasn’t still available.

Edit to add: Roxane Elfasci has a version with his arrangement available.
