Most achingly-beautiful music


Ultimately, we listen to music to be moved, for example, to be elated, exulted, calmed or pained. Which are the 3 most affecting pieces of music do you find the most affecting?

Much of Neil Young's catalog, most of Nick Drake's, some of John Coltrane's... This kind of list is so mood and situation dependent. Catch me at the right (or wrong) moment, even Meat Loaf can get to me. Since my father passed away last year, I cannot listen to Lucinda Willliams sing the title cut off "Sweet Old World" without getting choked up. It really is a sweet old world--music can show us the way. I guess that's why we're all here writing these posts, huh?

I enjoy getting ideas about new music to check out from all of you. Thanks.
