Most achingly-beautiful music

I scond the Jesse Sykes! Check out Over The Rhine's 2005 release "Drunkards Prayer" Ray Lamontagne's "Till The Sun Turns Black". Damien Rice "O" and the new one from Lucinda Williams "West". All have thought provoking lyrics and melodys.

anything by HEM, Sally's voice is amazing

Orchard Road-Leo Sayer

"Sei getreu bis in den Tod" from Rillig's Mendelssohn Paulus.
This is an especially beautiful tenor-cello duet that is taken to a new level in this recording.

Bedrich Smetana/Ma vlast(My fatherland) beautifull.I wonder nobody mentioned this work.
Tindersticks/Another night in rented room
Scott Walker/Farmer in the city from album called Tilt.Play it at night it is so beautifull it's almost scary.
