Its impact is especially felt by listening to the album in order. Because the whole thing is a metaphor for an abusive relationship told through the lens of a cancer patient and her caretaker.

Prolly Cellophane by FKA twigs. And I heard about the song from the stupid dog meme.
Another really good one is Widow in the Window by Great Big Sea.
And Hijo de la Luna by Mecano.
And Lily Allen’s cover of Somewhere Only We Know.
And, it’s an incredibly sad song, but Two Women by Nora Jane Struthers.
Mary and the storm by blitzkid
Don't Wake the Scarecrow by the Felice Brothers

anything by Vomir
Those were the days performed by Alexandrov Ensemble: https://youtu.be/Jc_n7hsedGE. Although the version by Mary Hopkin from 1960s is also pretty good.
But also Dmitri Shostakovich - Jazz suite No. 2 - VI. - Waltz II. Perhaps that should take the 1st place. I have a memory of replaying this one over and over at night at grandma's house on her radio from tape. I was probably replaying it for like 2 hours.
4 minutes, flip tape, fast forward, flip tape, 4 minutes, repeat.

Radiohead - Nude
I love this song. The intro sounds so other-worldly.

The Microphones - I want wind to blow
Not just this track, but this entire album is among one of the better albums I've ever heard. The singing, the production style and the lyrics. It's an absolute masterpiece

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

I think it is impossible to just have one.
I am a sucker for soundtracks but soundtracks do cheat a little bit just because you get emotionally invested into the movie/game/tv show and have such great memories with them it is hard not to find them amazing.
Test Drive or Forbidden Friendship from the Movie How to Train your Dragon. Is the first ones that came to my mind when you say beautiful song.
The Halo theme song.
Good Riddance from the game Hades covered by Rachel Hardy. (Also Anything from Rachel Hardy. She has an amazing voice and does an amazing job covering songs IMO.)
May it be by (Enya) (yet another movie sound track Lord of the Rings. lol)
The Light in Us all (Planet Coaster)
I see this is a very weird list I have come up with. These are just the ones that came into my head first.
Samson by Regina Spektor has to be up there for me.

Anything Miya Folick sings.
She doesn't even sing the type of music I like, but her voice is downright angelic.

Bad Thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp5aYXL24vo
She dances like she's auditioning for Napoleon Dynamite 2 though, which is a little weird
