Most achingly-beautiful music


Ultimately, we listen to music to be moved, for example, to be elated, exulted, calmed or pained. Which are the 3 most affecting pieces of music do you find the most affecting?

Noticed the mention of Jeff Buckley on Hallelujah. Anyone heard the Allison Crowe version. Gets my vote.
I listen to a pretty broad swath of genres so here it goes...Just 3 huh?

Ennio Marricone, Gabriel's Oboe/ from the soundrack of the movie The Mission

Charles Lloyd, The Water is Wide/ from the album The Water is Wide.

Lyle Lovett, Flying Shoes/ off his album Step Inside This House(the back story on Townes Van Zandt and his inspiration for the song just makes it more so)
"Sleeping in Paris", from "The Wheel", by the one and only Roseanne Cash.
Most of her "10 Song Demo" release as well.
Simply incredible, beautiful, personal music.
I always liked her single, "7 (?) Year Ache". Not sure I have that quite right. For whatever reason, don't own anything by her...must add her to the list. Thanks for the reminder, Rabco.
