Maybe not “beautiful” in the sense that most of the songs in this thread are, but the lamentably short piano sectionof this song that goes from like 3:25 to 4:10 might be my favorite moment in all of music.

do you still rep for any of these in 2018? Dusty's 'Goin' Back' is eternal, though idk if it's the most beautiful song of all time (pretty sure that honor goes to some Suede bro's side project)

I'll rep for a few of them but a good few wouldn't make a top list now alright

I wouldn't go with Coulter's version although it might be fair to say that most versions or interpretations you might hear would probably be heavily influenced.

"Somewhere over the rainbow" is indelible.

"Aguas de Marco" the Antonio Carlos Jobim version with Elis Regina. Runner-up would be "Otis" by The Durutti Column.

Might still be "Sometimes" by James.

'New Grass' is still the best answer anywayi'd have maybe said that a couple of years ago but these days from talk talk i'd prefer i believe in you. it covers the whole world, a free rhythm, a touching melody, a heavenly choir, a wild & weird improvisation. it is like a small chamber symphony, just hanging there, rough & sweet. the instruments sound so natural, i have been thinking to buy myself new huge speakers just for this piece of music.
but in the end julia would still be my fave i guess. what i really love about that song is that lennon seems to whisper it into my ears and sing it directly to me. it is the most intimate song i know, i can only listen to it on my own as i'd feel very uncomfortable in a group.

"I Believe in You" is beautiful, but the last 90 seconds or so of "New Grass" gets to me more deeply than almost anything, so that in my view remains the better choice.

New grass is a great answer. So many nights I’ve rolled that out to just feel at peace.
