For me it’s Erik satie’s Gymnopedie no. 1. I listened to a dramatized audiobook of lord of the rings a bunch when I was a kid. They played gymnopedie no 1 when bilbo, Frodo, Gandalf and the elves sailed to valinor, and it made me cry every time

Radiohead - Nude
The whole album is a masterpiece. Reckoner is my favorite <3
I love this song. The intro sounds so other-worldly.
I was at a target, and there was a guy playing the song Hallelujah on a violin. I was waiting for an Uber and hearing that song was really amazing so I actually asked my Uber driver to stop and gave him some money for such a good performance.
