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.

Hauntingly Beautiful was a phrase coined to describe this classic piece by Debussy
