[Wilton Said...]

I love this version.

Sorry for no links, but some hauntingly beautiful tunes for me:
"Black Water" by David Sylvian
"The Turning Ground" by Caroline Lavelle
"Turn of the Century" by Yes

[Farpoint Kevin]

Oh yeah, and the hidden track at the end of Grey Eye Glances' Eventide album

[Amy]

Love this...

[Amy]

And this...

[No Pride]

Wow, there sure is a diverse selection of what folks consider to be "hauntingly beautiful!" I don't consider all submissions to fit the bill, but several have been great and the wide range of how we perceive things is one of the things that makes PE such a fun place!

As the starter of this thread, I suppose it's time I learned how to embed at our new digs. Here we go (and wish me luck)!



This is a relatively obscure tune by Jobim that epitomizes the idea of "melancholy but beautiful" for me.

Hey, it worked!

[Rarebird]

This embedding of videos is easy.
Julius Dobos - Life (from the album Mountain Flying.

[Troopers For Sound]

Good call with Sunrain!!! I spin that tune over and over...love it.

I just posted an ECM related vid on another thread, so that label is on my mind for this:

Ralph Towner - New Moon

[davis]

the Friends of Dan Martinez version of Summertime

[gregory]

Yes, these are his best. fantastic sense of harmony.

[Hal...]

This is ambient/new age, but I love this "song":

"Turn of the Century" by Yes

I've always thought that was one of the most beautiful pieces of music in pop/rock.

My favorite is probably Eleanor Rigby.

Another vote for Turn of the Century. Also add God Only Knows, This Woman's Work, This is the Life (Wendy and Lisa),Violet (Seal), The Moment I Said It (Imogen Heap), Woman in Chains, Beautiful, Bedshaped (Keane).
