As opposed to pieces of music like Fracture. An example would be Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve or My Name is Lucka. Mine is She Counts the Rain by Silver Screen. Sorry about the two posts but since I haven't been here months I thought I would be allowed some leeway.

I'm getting lost "Towards the Blue Horizon" by Riverside. After having read the terrible new the lyrics of this song are amazingly significant. Enough for a new urban legend.

Rise and Fall from Runrig's new (and, sadly, last) studio album, The Story.

If there is a more beautiful and poignant comment on the futility of war, I've yet to hear it.

Hardly predictable, I've never heard of it...amazingly vicious! (the music that is), especially the synths

"House with No Door" by Van der Graaf Generator. The line "It doesn't seem right when there's that little dark figure running - won't somebody help me?" always makes me weep.

Exiles.  

From the menacing fade in to the combination of weeping violin, Wetton's mournful delivery, the lyrical story of loneliness and abandon and Fripp's greatest solo ever merge to create the most beautiful melancholy ever recorded.  Don't care whether it's the studio or one of the 40 or so live versions I have, I always stop whatever I'm doing and just drown in the bittersweet longing of Crimson's masterpiece.

Shine on you Crazy Diamond for me. Next in line would be Ommadawn (part 1), Awaken, and Histoires sans Paroles.

normally I'd say Glad by Traffic.  That has been and will forever be my favorite 'song' of all time. If you discount that/instrumentals and go with more traditional songs.. hmmmm...


again the is, has been, and always will be #2 behind Glad....
