Truly beautiful songs
Those very, rare songs, that have true meaning and really get to you- a beautiful listening experience.

Bruce Springsteen- Streets of Philadelphia.

Name one, I need a greater repertoire.

"In Paradisium for Requiem" - Gabriel Fauré / Jean Michel Nectoux

A beautiful piece of music and instantly recognizable. Used in both The Thin Red Line and 28 Days Later.
