Prettiest track

I don't usually post rubbish threads like this, but after catching this track on one of the iTunes radio stations it got me thinking.

What are peoples thoughts on the prettiest songs (non-classical) ever released?

I have two nominations:

Massive Attack: Tear drop

Chicane: No Ordinary Morning

Both stunning tracks, and both of which have some beautiful memories for me.

Both of these songs are a few years old now (around the 10 year old mark...) and so some of the younger members on the forum could do well to look them up and have a listen.

    Simon and Garfunkel - Bright Eyes ...though for some it may bring back memories of Watership Down which certainly isn't a 'pretty' film.
