There are so many songs to list, so many songs with a classical tone that are amazing. Funny enough, a lot of video game/rpg songs can be listed too. /geek

I love:
The Postal Service - Nothing Better
Death Cab for Cutie - What Sarah and Said
Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You Into the Dark


(same singer for Postal Service and Death Cab, the girl in "Nothing Better" is Jenny Lewis from Rilo Kiley)

Crappy YouTube sound doesn't do it justice.

:thumbsup: For sure. Even better after you've watched the series so many times that you feel like Easy Company is a group of your friends. Then segue right into the veterans being interviewed....that's heavy stuff.

Personal Favorite: Opeth - A Fair Judgement
Also, Nessun Dorma is farkin incredible.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Nightwish - Dead Boy's Poem" is a 10 out of 10 in terms of beauty as well.
I also think I Believe by Riverside is a 10.
Pretty much the entire album Embrace the Storm by Stream of Passion fits the bill. Most incredible IMO is the song Nostalgia which is pretty much vocals and a piano.
Also, I really think the song The Clown Is Dead by Axel Rudi Pell fits into this category as well.
That said, I listen to a lot of extremely sludgy downtuned music that I really enjoy as well. Some of the ugliest IMO are: Doom's Bride by Warhorse and Return Trip by Electric Wizard.
