Most Beautiful Song

A friend of mine recently asked "What do you think is the most beautiful song ever?" That left it pretty open to individual interpretation, so it wasn't geared toward a specific genre. I saw a few answers that i sort of expected, being famous classical pieces and such, but mine was more about how it made me feel. The song i answered with is calming, soothing, has a simple yet infectious bassline, and a soft melody. The song has the feel of a giant sigh of relief, as if you had just completed an arduous journey that was stacked against you from the start; and were met with lots of sacrifice along the way. this is the song id expect to hear playing after you finish, and are on your way home, victorious.

Orbital - Halcyon & on & on

(the video also adds to the sheer epicness of this song)

    andy blueman's remix of afternova's serenity made me tear up the first time. gives me goosebumps every time (at around 2:00, then it just escalates).
