Simply Beautiful Songs

Agreed.

Loan Me a Dime belongs here, too.

 

Rattlin' Bones, Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson

 

Nullarbor Song, Kasey Chambers

 

I always thought With Or Without You by U2 was a beautiful song. I generally don't like them, but that is a great song.

 

One more from Kasey and Shane: Wildflower

 

"Beautiful World," Collective Soul was the first song that popped into my head upon seeing this thread.

It was only released on the international version of their first album, which is a shame IMO.

 

--World I Know, Collective Soul
--It's Too Late, Carole King
--Summer Breeze, Seals and Crofts
--I Can't Tell You Why, Eagles
--Because of You, Kelly Clarkson

 

To break out of my country rut, here are a couple of my favorite Gov't Mule songs:

On The Banks Of The Deep End:

Beautifully Broken:

 

Slave To Love -- Bryan Ferry.
Avalon -- Roxy Music.
Atlantic City -- Springsteen.
Beth -- KISS.
El Paso -- Marty Robbins.
Nobody Knows Me -- Lyle Lovett.
Fast Car -- Tracy Chapman.
Waiting On A Friend -- Rolling Stones.
La Belle Age -- Pat Benatar.
Thousand Miles From Nowhere -- Dwight Yoakam.
Crazy -- Patsy Cline or willie Nelson.
Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground -- Willie Nelson.
Cupid -- Same Cooke (hell, anything by Sam Cook).
Sexual Healing -- Marvin Gaye.
What's Going On -- Marvin Gaye.
Ave Maria -- many artists, but Luciano Pavarotti's rendetion on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson is stunning.

Sorry, I listed too many.

 

Enough Rope, Chris Knight

 

Time In A Bottle -- Jim Croce.

 

Ya, quit clogging up this thread!

I was looking for a good video of Dwight Yoakam's South of Cincinnati, but couldn't find one.

Also, Ave Maria is probably the first song I really remember enjoying. It was always my favorite during daily Mass in Catholic school.
