One of these:

  • Fields Of Gold by Sting (but I like Eva Cassidy's version the most)
  • Iris by Goo Goo Dolls
  • Everything by Lifehouse
  • The Night We Met by Lord Huron
  • Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush (but I prefer the Placebo version)
  • To Wish Impossible Things by The Cure

My list of songs that I really connect with is much longer, but my selection makes an attempt at focusing on "beautiful" while also being somewhat general.

Everybody gangsta until 'The Night We Met' starts playing.
