Bringing this thread back up... I have an iTunes playlist I call '*' that refers to the unexplainable reasons why a song is "beautiful." Found quite a few from this thread to add. Here are some of mine:

Pete Townshend - "Was There Life"
Sting - "The End of the Game" (full version, not the "Prelude" on Brand New Day)
Peter Gabriel - "The Drop", "Solsbury Hill", "Running to the Rain" (from Rabbit-Proof Fence)
Simon & Garfunkel - "Scarborough Fair/Canticle"
Counting Crows - "Einstein on the Beach (For an Eggman)"
Daniel Powter - "Bad Day" (has potential, need more listens)

I *just* got into Electrelane, and only yesterday dl'd their song "This Deed".
I'll have to check out more , and I'll dl "Gone Under Sea" today if I can find it.


Another song to possibly add to this list is a romantic "Nine Million Bicycles" by Katie Melua.
