The Most Beautiful Songs

Every song off Metallica’s St. Anger is the most beautiful

Fun fact about Avril 14th and Kanye. When Kanye was working on blame game his team contacted Aphex Twin asking to use the sample. Aphex Twin said he would be more than happy to rerecorded the whole song and help produce it as long as he got partial credit. Kanye didnt want to share the credit and decided to just steal it instead

I know Radiohead is already on this list but I think “Motion Picture Soundtrack” is their saddest and most beautiful song. The lyrics are simple yet depressing, the organs sound like a funeral tune, and at one point, it sounds angelic. It sounds so bittersweet, like you lost someone you love and are remembering the good times you had with them. And that last line. It’s hard to describe this song, but I think it’s sadder than true love waits. True love waits is depressing, but it maintains the same, simple, sad piano. Motion Picture Soundtrack sounds uplifting and sad at the same time, playing with your emotions more. Not to mention it’s more diverse on terms of composition.

I'm surprised that no one said "Space Song" by Beach House. It may be a basic pick but i feel that it truly is one of the most beautiful pieces of art ever made. the production is simple but so memorable. the vocals are peak Victoria. One of my fave songs they have ever released

Fourth of July by Sufjan Stevens is one of the most beautiful yet haunting tracks ive ever heard. Him confronting his troubled relationship with his mother through a conversation with her on her deathbed, and finally coming to the terrifying yet beautiful, and also sort of freeing conclusion that "We're all gonna die"

Cant Stop Partying by Weezer is such a simple yet beautiful piece of art The stripped back production sends shivers down my spine, and the Lil Wayne verse really shows a vulnerable yet uplifting and hopeful side to him that we've never seen before and will never see again from any rap verse ever Weezer could've made TPAB but Kendrick could've NEVER made Raditude

Touch by daft punk. This song captures a feeling of happiness and melancholy simultaneously in a way that I feel defines the whole album. It has some of the most tender lyrics the duo have ever written, and the themes about being a robot or a human hit hard.

“All is full of Love” by Björk is a marvelous song with an amazing buildup complimented by her breathtaking singing. The machine-like beat gives a great sense of structure and guides you through the climax that is to come.

The rain formerly known as purple by Chris Christodoulou is an underappreciated work of art

Across the universe by the Beatles. The affect on John's voice and the guitar sounds unnatural but the instrumentals on the song are some of most beautiful I've ever heard. The "nothing's gonna change my world" chorus also makes life seem bigger than it really is

My personal pick would be Snake eyes by DEMONDICE. I could never explain to you how gorgeous this perfect song is. It's amazing opener leading you to the absolute wonderous, fun world of Satan's rap dungeon. When Demondice starts with that "Na-nana-na-na" It just brilliantly displays her troublemaker, demonic personality. And then when she says "Jesus Jesus Japanesus" That line is such a beautiful, Intelligent line. It signifies that Demondice is our savior. She's a Jesus figure but since she lives in Japan she's JAPANESUS. When the line "Satan said i wasnt black male or hood enough" is said I felt that so hard. As Demondice is meant to represent those who go against dumb mumble (c)rappers like KenDICK lamar or KanGAY West. Satan represents the liberal society that oppress white rappers. I relate to this because i once went to jail on 4 charges of hate crimes. And there was this one really cool guy who was arrested for Selling crack to children and everyone HATED HIM FOR BEING WHITE. He taught me the true prison sentence of the world was being white. And from that day I learned to value the teachings of my lord and savior, Tom MacDonald. When Demondice begins talking about Mental health when she talks about "Rapping apparitions with well... Mental conditions" I felt EVERYTHING when she made that pause. Because she was so afraid to talk about her mental health because she would be OPPRESSED because of her white skin. Demondice is truly the savior of the world. She will continue to push past the WOKE agenda. There's also this Mori Calliope lady and she makes AMAZING music as well, My personal favorite is Huge W, I just wanted to give a recommendation because she sounds a lot like Demondice and EVERYONE should be like Demondice. In conclusion, Snake eyes put me to tears. Demondice please marry me -Bartholemew Radke

Lover, You Should’ve Come Over by Jeff Buckley is through and through the most tear jerking, beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard. I strongly believe it’s the strongest lyrical performance in a love song, with some of the most gorgeous yet haunting vocals that give an insight into the pain Buckley was feeling while recording it. 10/10 song no doubt

“Since I Left You” by The Avalanches. This song gives me a tremendous feeling of hope and beauty. it is entirely assembled from samples which adds a very powerful value, it sounds like an abstract work of art would sound, it is able to cheer me up on the saddest days. If you've never heard it, I recommend watching the music video, it expresses the feeling of the song very well. If you've already heard it, I recommend listening to the entire album, it is a blast of many moods, but keeping in the beautiful song, I think you all should hear "A Different Feeling" and "Tonight May Have To Last Me All My Life". Fantano reviewed this album last year which got me immensely excited as the album is sensational and a lot of people should hear it.

What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong. I know people say this a lot, but it truly feels like the end credits song of our world

The moon by the microphones is probably one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. It's a bit noisy, but the soft vocals being sang in a fast pace, the drums that rush as if you're remembering everthing all at once, the lyrics of heartbreak, grief and acceptance, the horns that appear throught the song, all of it combined to make an incredible experience. Also, the beggining with the plucky guitars being played off sync, and then dropping with a wall of sound... The surprise i had listening to this for the first time is something that I don't think I'll ever experience again.

Stickerbush Symphony from Donkey Kong Country 2 by David Wise is one of the very first that always comes to mind when thinking of beautiful entrancing songs. Every time I hear it just get so incredibly immersed in it’s beautiful atmosphere and progression, reflecting on life and all the great things I’ve been fortunate enough to experience. Incredible feeling every time Music truly is something special

Love seeing Digital Love here. The whole of Discovery is some of the most pure and universally enjoyable music Ive ever heard. Please go spin it if you havent before

“Mr. Blue Sky” is the happiest sounding song ever. Fight me.

My pick would probably be The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us! by Sufjan Stevens. The heartfelt lyrics, the impeccable instrumentation, the grand breakdown at the midpoint and the vocal layering in the outro create such a gorgeous, bittersweet atmosphere. Every time I hear it, I tear up a little.

Very nice to see C418/Minecraft (and games in general) represented! I feel like game OSTs are broadly slept on as far as 'good music' goes. I would absolutely love to see you react to the whole album, and the in-game music discs as well. If you'd like to experience more beautiful music from games, please give City of Tears from Hollow Knight a chance. There are tracks in the game that I like better, but I understand why this one is considered one of, if not the best of the whole game. (For non-gaming music, Switzerland by Daughter is something else. I don't think I have ever heard anything like it.)
