Lovely track but i might get shot for saying this but i thought Matt Cardles rendition of it on X factor was breathtaking, particularly seeing the emotion it carried for him:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JWAmF-Z4r4

So many good songs put forward id clog up the forum quoting them all but some more here:
Late Night Alumni- Beautiful

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQn7IhZWFC8
Vangelis- Ask The Mountains
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pejkQMNxdg

Absolutely bloody marvellous stuff, that.
It seems a little churlish to post a link to Street Spirit by Radiohead with that in mind.
- Archive are such a diverse band, from ambient trip hop through to rock, with some great stuff inbetween - All their albums are on Spotify (which is how I got into them...)

Totally agree with some of the replies so far.
A lot of people thought this guy disappeared or that he was a one-hit wonder with "9PM (Til I Come)", but he's still around, producing stuff like this as well as trance:
ATB - Still Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJv52cFhv9M
I've got loads of stuff like this in my iTunes library but that has to be my favourite. Maybe not to everyone's liking but the song means a lot to me because of a time/place etc. when I heard it.

In the sixties every dance hall played this song by the Crying Shames at the end of the night

Nearly. But it's certainly this one, I can't believe we have got to 5 pages without 'Bridge over Troubled Water'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_a46WJ1viA
I went to a performance by Finbar Furey's son Martin - aka 'Bohinta' when accompanied by his sister Aine - and because Aine was indisposed he had called on a young woman singer from Yorkshire whose name was Sally to fill in. She sang 'She Moved Through the Fair' solo and unaccompanied; the audience was transfixed by the timbre of her voice and haunting quality of her delivery. Sadly all I know of her is that she was called Sally and that she was occasionally on a Yorkshire radio station. This was sometime around 2005-6.

Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4_4abCWw-w
There are loads of others, just can't remember them all. I'm sure I'll be back once I've thought of some more.
Not really a song that I'd associate with a threa like this, but just listened to it again, I reckon it belongs here.

I have already left instructions that this is to be played at my funeral, as they burn my useless worn out carcass.

A lot of Sufjan Stevens' songs would fit the criteria of this thread, in my humble opinion.
E.g.
John Wayne Gacy Jr
or
Casimir Pulaski Day
