Perhaps not the most beautiful but it's touching when your father plays it for you.

However, the late Ryuichi Sakamoto - Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence and Chopin - Nocturne op.9 No.2 come very close.

To go with Nicks I'd have add McVie's Songbird from just a year later.

I used to love Hazel by Bob Dylan.

The jazzy Memories by Material (check out the backing singer.)

Trying to think of my favourite Van. Have I told you lately? will likely end up on here, certainly a beautiful song.

Ah, Christine Mcvie had a beautiful voice! I love the way she sings Songbird...confession time - I didn't realise it wasn't an Eva Cassidy original for a long time

North Norfolk area

Not entirely certain it classes as a song as such, but Last Post at the Menin Gate at Ypres, Belgium.

The Menin Gate was finished in 1922 (I think), and at 20:00 every evening since then, Last Post has been played (now by the trumpeters of the local Fire Service....I believe it was originally played by military buglers).

The only time it hasn't taken place, was during WW2 when occupied by German forces. On the day that the German forces retreated, it was played as they left the area. If you've never heard it, you really should....the acoustics within the arch are incredible, never fails to bring tears to eyes!

(the Menin Gate for those that don't know, is a memorial to the fallen in WW1 in that sector, who have no known grave.....50,000+, all recorded by name/rank and by regiment).

Tremendously moving performance(s), even more so if you're lucky enough to be there when visiting unit/British Legion (especially if pipe) bands perform as well.

‘Beautiful’ is a very particular vibe.
