Absofreakinlutely. I'm down with "Left and Leaving", "Benediction", and "Virtute the Cat Explains Her Departure", for sure. Those should be checked out immediately by everyone.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Absofreakinlutely. I'm down with "Left and Leaving", "Benediction", and "Virtute the Cat Explains Her Departure", for sure. Those should be checked out immediately by everyone.
And "Bigfoot!"

[Neo Cassady]

Absofreakinlutely. I'm down with "Left and Leaving", "Benediction", and "Virtute the Cat Explains Her Departure", for sure. Those should be checked out immediately by everyone.

2pac - Thug Mansion Acoustic

[Neo Cassady]

The Spill Canvas - The Tide

[Here It Goes]

The Early November- Never Coming Back
Relient K- When I Go Down

Never been a huge Copeland fan. Although their cover of "Every Breath You Take"(?) is really nice.

I'm dying to hear this piano version of "You're Not Alone" by Saosin, where can I find that?

edit: nvm, got it now

[IWasaCamera]

A Love Supreme and In A Silent Way in their entirety.

[3eb23]

i didn't suggest the saosin song. that was the dude before me. i wouldn't consider any saosin song "beautiful"

[3eb23]

2pac - Thug Mansion Acoustic

good rec. i still don't know whether i prefer the original or the one with nas. theyre both great.

[BSS182]

box car racer: watch the world :shrug:

[eman83]

Manchester Orchestra - Where Have You Been?

[Getup and Dance]

good rec. i still don't know whether i prefer the original or the one with nas. theyre both great.

[hf57]

colly strings - manchester orchestra

[wewascontenders]

I Am the Avalanche - Clean Up

[3eb23]

Im guessing you mean the original as the one on Nas's album, I think the 2pac verse on the better dayz album was better then anything Nas did on it.

PS. THROW SOME PIANO GOODNESS AT ME PEOPLE!!!
piano songs?

anything by ben folds, because he's amazing, and as far as his most "beautiful" songs... "lullabye" (ben folds five), which happens to be in my top 3 favorite songs ever, "gracie" about his daughter, "missing the war" and "video" (both by the five). i could go on and on...

kind of embarrassing, but i really like patrick stump's piano cover of "tom traubert's blues."

rufus wainwright's cover of "across the universe" and "hallelujah" (though it doesn't really touch jeff buckley's version...).

also, not so much on the piano front, i would recommend the decemberists' "california one/youth and beauty brigade", their cover of "bridges and balloons" by joanna newsom, "on the bus mall", "shiny"... just about anything colin meloy touches turns out amazing.

i also second (or third?) the suggestion of "the trapeze swinger" by iron & wine.

oh, man, there are so many.

[Jumpoff]

Pedro the Lion - The Poison
Bon Iver - Flume
Eels - Last Stop in This Town and PS You Rock My World
Frou Frou - Let Go
mewithoutYou - Silencer
Bruce Springsteen - Highway Patrolman
Sufjan Stevens - John Wayne Gacy Jr
Portishead - Western Eyes
Cursive - Recluse
ATDI - Napoleon Solo

[jbaseball44]

I'm surprised people haven't ripped me a new one for that. I just don't think it's that good of a cd and no song on their would I describe as beautiful.

It's just personal opinion for me, i wouldnt rip you for thinking otherwise. I am sure many other people agree with you. To me it's a beautiful cd and while generally it might be considered a great cd i don't know if it's generally considered beautiful

[tiphany]

My Bloody Valentine - Sometimes
Radiohead - House of Cards
LCD Soundsystem - Someone Great

[DanceJamesDance]

It's just personal opinion for me, i wouldnt rip you for thinking otherwise. I am sure many other people agree with you. To me it's a beautiful cd and while generally it might be considered a great cd i don't know if it's generally considered beautiful

Good Elliott Smith songs, i would have to say Sweet Adeline is my favorite though. Maybe it would fall under most beautiful too

[ntlty93]

only one - yellowcard love it!!!!

[Here It Goes]

did you listen to sleeping at last yet?

yeah, i checked out lots of stuff from the CD's you suggested. Not blown away, not yet anyways, but very nice stuff. Really enjoyable. I think I like the song "Umbrellas" quite a bit.

[Here It Goes]

1) Props to whoever suggested the following tunes:

Dunstin Kensrue - Please Come Home
Saosin - You're Not Alone (piano version)

Those were both new to me and I love them both.

2) How has nobody mentioned anything by Glen Hansard yet? Most of the soundtrack to "Once" is ridiculously beautiful. Download "Falling Slowly", "Say It To Me Now" and "When Your Mind's Made Up" if you haven't heard them.

It took me a looooooong time (a couple years) to get this band. And when I did. Whoa.

[voncorn]

"Red Hands" - The Dear Hunter

Only song I've ever listened to that is capable of bringing tears to my eyes.

The instrumental tracks "La Mer" and "Leaving Hope" by Nine Inch Nails are beautiful in every sense of the word.

Radiohead -- "Kid A" (see "Henry Lee")
Bonnie "Prince" Billy -- "Knockturne"
My Bloody Valentine -- "To Here Knows When"
The Decemberists -- "I Was Meant for the Stage"
Bruce Springsteen -- "Nebraska" (see "Henry Lee")
