I'm not even going to start on a top 10 of most beautiful songs... but the most beautiful one I heard today was a solo piano version of The Mercy Seat by Nick Cave.

That song couldn't be any sadder. There are a lot of sad songs, but this one nails it, it's perfect.

The last song that made me cry was Martha by Tom Waits. So I'll put that for now.

Definitely.
In contrast, God is Love from the same album is about the happiest song ever. His enthousiasm when he sings about Jesus and God gets me every time.. and I'm not religious in the slightest.

On topic, today's most beautiful song is David Bowie - I'm Not Quite (the original version of Letter To Hermione)
