Lord of The Curry Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 This is not a "favorite" or "best" thread, it's a beast of a different breed altogether. I was listening to the sndtrk for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon earlier today and almost broke down in tears because it was so amazing. That, to me, was "beautiful" music. So, what do you dig or know of that would be considered "beautiful" music? What is something that is so insanely pleasureable for you to listen to that you can only call it beauty?
Nighthawk Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Two techno songs, Drop It by 3 Steps Ahead, and Digeridoo by Aphex Twin... they're both very fast, and I think the beauty in them is that they're just unrelenting and thus, overwhelming. Listening to them is the closest I get to understanding raving (besides the drugs). B.O.B. by Outkast comes close for the same reasons, but I'm not really feeling the gospel breakdown at the end. other beautiful songs: Prince - The Cross Velevt Underground - Venus In Furs Legendary Pink Dots - Disturbance Diamanda Galas - I Put A Spell On You Clint Mansell, Kronos Quartet - Requiem for a Dream score
Lord of The Curry Posted October 10, 2003 Author Report Posted October 10, 2003 Chalk up the begining chords off of "Wish You Were Here" for me.
cbacon Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Recently, Hawksley Workman's Safe and Sound. A beautiful up beat acoustic song Who's on the Crouching Tiger Soundtrack Curry? Or is it purely instrumental?
Guest El Satanico Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Jimi Hendrix - "Castles Made of Sand" Jimi Hendrix - "Angel" Beethoven - "Moonlight Sonata" Metallica - "One" Gary Jules - "Mad World" Johnny Cash - "I Hung My Head" Chopin - "Funeral March" Skip James - "Devil Got My Woman" The Doors - "The End" Frank Sinatra - "My Way" Lynyrd Skynyrd - "Tuesday's Gone" Pearl Jam - "Last Kiss" Ricky Nelson - "Lonesome Town" Talking Heads - "Psycho Killer"
1234-5678 Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Off the top of my head, two songs. 1. The one from "Requiem Of A Dream" 2. Piano from "November Rain"
Guest Jack Tunney Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Bowery Electric-"Fear Of Flying" The theme for Basiado (?) Island from FFX (I think it's part 10,never played the game) Massive Attack-"Teardrop" DJ Shadow-"Transmission 2" (maybe not 2,but the one that sounds like "Midnight In A pefect World".) Spiritualized-"Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space" Slowdive-"Alison"
Mecha Mummy Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Trigun - Philosophy in a Tea Cup. Damn beautiful, it's been on repeat for hours. The Spirited Away soundtrack's also great.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Good question. I'll go with "Trio" by King Crimson, which is a sad (but pretty) instrumental with sweet melodies and weird instrumentation. Also, Pink Floyd-"Echoes" Pink Floyd-"Pillow of Winds" Pink Floyd-"Granchester Meadows" Pink Floyd-"Atom Heart Mother" Pink Floyd-"Saucerful of Secrets" Pink Floyd...
Addy Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 MortIIs - Crypt of the Wizard MortIIs - Fodt Til A Herske Both are soft instrumental albums. Brilliant. Pick them up, or search for some songs off Kazaa. Now!
Guest renegade v.1 Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 beautiful music: All of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here album Shout by Tears for Fears Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing Voodoo Chile Castles Made of Sand Hey Joe All of S&M i luv the orchestra with a rock band it makes me feel good.

PLAGIARISM! Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 All of Aphex Twin's 'Richard D James LP'. Most of Tom Waits' catalogue 'Here Come The Warm Jets' by Brian Eno.
notJames Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Most of the tracks from the Twin Peaks soundtrack, especially the stuff performed by Julee Cruise. Pretty much all the soulful or orchestral stuff from Tori Amos, like Winter", "Icicle", "Jackie's Strength", and "Northern Lad". And I've recently been digging "Hello" by Evanescence.
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Sigur Ros Yann Tiersen
Guest BAR Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Anything by Neil Young is really nice, also the last Floyd album with Roger.
OldSchoolWrestling Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Kenny G - The Wedding Song Although he calls it the wedding song, I'd like it to be played at my funeral
HarleyQuinn Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 I really love the Final Fantasy VII song, "Chasing the Black Caped Man"...really just strikes me.
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Also, Aphex Twin: Avril 14th
razazteca Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Who's on the Crouching Tiger Soundtrack Yo-Yo Ma
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Miles Davis. Thats beautiful.
PsychoDriver Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 Tori Amos: Winter, Etienne The Gathering: Travel, In Motion Lush: Sweetness and Light Culture Club: Victims Shudder to think: Red House John Denver: Anne's Song (I'm a big Denver mark for some reason) Simon and Garfunkel: Umm Nearly everything Jimi Hendrix: One Rainy Wish Eh, I can't think right now... I'm drawing blanks. I'll post more later
Lil' Bitch Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 "Beautiful Day" by U2 "Thank You" by Dido "Elysium" from the Gladiator movie (the one where Maximus is walking through the field)
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 "Telepopmusik - Breathe" This is that song. That song where someone asks you why you like it so much, and you're like, it's, it's just...beautiful.
Downhome Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 Off of the top of my head, the most beautiful song I have ever heard is "All Love Can Be" by Charlotte Church, from the motion picture "A Beautiful Mind". Not to sound cliche, but that song is just so powerful. If music can actually touch a soul for me, it's this one.
Guest JebusNassedar Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 The entirety of dredg's "El Cielo"almost made me cry halfway through. There's something very piercing about the whole sound, from the fluid bass to the harmonic guitar and almost gentle singing. It's really like nothing else I've ever experienced.
Downhome Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 Certain acoustic versions of the following songs are fucking outstanding... 3AM --- Matchbox 20 (Get the piano version, it's one of my favorite things ever.) Foolish Games --- Jewel (Much like the next one, one of the most depressing performances of all time.) Break Me --- Jewel (My favorite Jewel song, my favorite vocal performance that she's ever done, and quite possibly my favorite ever.) You Were Meant For Me --- Jewel (Fuck it, I love everything pre-"new Jewel". You have to hear the acoustic versions of her songs.) Don't Speak --- No Doubt (Screw the normal version, this one is unreal.) ...and there are tons more that I could list.
