Those were the days performed by Alexandrov Ensemble: youtu.be/Jc_n7hsedGE. Although the version by Mary Hopkin from 1960s is also pretty good.
But also Dmitri Shostakovich - Jazz suite No. 2 - VI. - Waltz II. Perhaps that should take the 1st place. I have a memory of replaying this one over and over at night at grandma’s house on her radio from tape. I was probably replaying it for like 2 hours.
4 minutes, flip tape, fast forward, flip tape, 4 minutes, repeat.
Not just this track, but this entire album is among one of the better albums I’ve ever heard. The singing, the production style and the lyrics. It’s an absolute masterpiece
For me it’s Erik satie’s Gymnopedie no. 1. I listened to a dramatized audiobook of lord of the rings a bunch when I was a kid. They played gymnopedie no 1 when bilbo, Frodo, Gandalf and the elves sailed to valinor, and it made me cry every time
I am a sucker for soundtracks but soundtracks do cheat a little bit just because you get emotionally invested into the movie/game/tv show and have such great memories with them it is hard not to find them amazing.
Test Drive or Forbidden Friendship from the Movie How to Train your Dragon. Is the first ones that came to my mind when you say beautiful song.
The Halo theme song.
Good Riddance from the game Hades covered by Rachel Hardy. (Also Anything from Rachel Hardy. She has an amazing voice and does an amazing job covering songs IMO.)
May it be by (Enya) (yet another movie sound track Lord of the Rings. lol)
The Light in Us all (Planet Coaster)
I see this is a very weird list I have come up with. These are just the ones that came into my head first.
