Glad that ‘Be the one’ has been mentioned a couple of times. My exact thought upon first listen.

It's even beyond "beautiful" -- it's gorgeous and spine-tingling!! 8-)

This is a little surprising (for me). I too, love that track, and consider it one of the stronger ones over the last few albums, but I really expected more support for some of the aforementioned classic tracks. It's encouraging though! Definitely shows our boys can still touch our souls. :)

Wow, love all the responses! It warms my heart. There were a few surprise answers, and I lot I would choose myself - particularly She Won't Be Home. But the first one that came up in my mind when I started thinking about others is Tragic (the original instrumental b-side). Grace would be up there too. Man those are special. Also Tenderest Moments and Love is Colder Than Death (which blew me away the first time I heard it). I've always felt Memphisto, Blue Dress and One Caress by DM were beautiful as well. Other worthy mentions: OMD's Maid of Orleans, PSB's Jealousy, Anything Box's Hope and Blue Little Rose. Queen's Love of My Life. Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World. OK I should stop!

Don't mean to derail my own thread, though I'd be curious to hear everyone's favorite "beautiful" songs from other bands. Perhaps I'll start a secondary thread for that.

Back to E, it's true that they continue to write some beautiful material. World Be Gone is evidence of that and I have to second World Be Gone (Giant Mix) ... great choice billyburg!! Dreamy. I love the original too of course. Here's hoping for another beautiful album from our favorite duo soon.
