Wow, my goosbumps have goosebumps. That was beautiful.
Damn, so many choices. But…
“Ode to Joy” for the win. 
Hayley Westenra’s “Wuthering Heights,” Bjork’s “All is Full of Love” and Nina Gordon’s “Tonight and the Rest of My Life” are another couple of contenders, according to me iTunes playcounts. (Jisas Yu Holem Hand Blong Mi is up there, too, actually.)
And…do I go to music lover’s Hell if I suggest animated theme songs?
I’d have to agree with this completely. Having said that, the first song I thought of was “Night Song” by Noel Pointer. A friend once told me he couldn’t see himself getting serious about a woman who couldn’t appreciate this song. While I wouldn’t go that far, I can kinda understand the sentiment.
Okay I can’t sleep, other all time fav’s

Any chance we could merge this thread with this one? Same OP in both.

Mercury’s Love of My Life rates high in my book - the original studio recording with all the intricasies in place, NOT the idiotic football-chant live versions.
Eva Cassidy’s version of “Over the Rainbow”:
Moving thread from IMHO to Cafe Society.
Dein is mein ganzes Herz, from Franz Lehar’s Land of Smiles.
Agreed.
Wow!
AGREED!
Es ist wunderbar wie dei Zeit verändert den Karakter!
I don’t know if I said that just right, but I just wanted to say that I love Freddy Mercury too.
Please excuse me if I might have missed some syntax und Scheisse, okay?

Das gehört sich!
Danke.

I haven’t got a religious bone in my body, but for some reason Make Me A Channel Of Your Peace stirs my soul everytime I hear it.
Eva Cassidy’s version of Time After Time.
i love eva cassidy with a passion.
For an instrumental piece, I agree with your choice. For a vocal piece, for me the most purely sweet song I’ve heard might be the Flower Duet from Delibes’ Lakme.
I’ve always been blown away by Santana’s Samba Pa Ti. Instrumental, but you can hear the anguish of a lost love in every note.
