"Beauty" is an incredibly subjective term, but okay, I'll go along with your request. How about the following:

Elvis Perkins - "All the Night Without Love"
Rufus Wainwright - "Going to a Town"
Tindersticks - "My Oblivion"
Ben Harper - "Number Three"
Interpol - "The Lighthouse"

[pcianciaruso]

gots to have some jeff buckley on there


and 'name of the game' by badfinger

[brothertupelo]

the twilight singers - twilight
mazzy star- "fade into you" or "into dust"
pj harvey and radiohead - "this mess we're in"

[mike35]

For Elliott I'd say its hard to beat Waltz #1 in the beauty department.

[days_between]

Thats the beauty of the word beautiful. It means something different to each one of us.

Thanks for the suggestions

[Fantasy Paradox]

Asleep by The Smiths.

[ajmo.]

mazzy star- "fade into you"

[Tobias]

I am going to put elliott on it too, just haven't decided what song(s)...

[rob87]

The National - Gospel

[weeping.rock]

belle and sebastian - beautiful
loquat - swing set chain

for the melancholy one I can also recommend

Teitur - Sleeping with the lights on
Under Byen - Hjertebarn

Oh and of course
Seabear - Hands remember

I think Place Pigalle would be perfect no? And if you're not discriminating with genres, also put Edan's "Beauty" on it. Its a pretty amazing song. The imagery in it is just amazing, just read:
Drop science down a bottomless pit
Run swift through a handstand on pyramid tips
The sun splits the waterfront causing prismatic effects
Butterflies come alive to have sex
Birds fly out of a top hat slow
To join the brilliance of wilderness and soar through the Congo
Speed the convo through colors and shapes
My word choice is turquoise I love to create
My art hurdles over the clouds of dark purple
Red mixes yellow and blue in sharp circles
Paint splashes over your conscious like canvas
Colors jump out of the body to form branches
Psychedelic images flash like avalanches
Illustrate skill with the quill to build stanzas

Its an amazing ass song.
