Greensleeves! How I love this song.

I improvised the improvisation of this tune yesterday, to share on a Turkish site for fun. Yeah, I wasn't planning to improvise, yet it suddenly happened. Lol. Even if I had sung this tune normally, it wasn't gonna be a serious performance. I'm satisfied with the unintended result tho. Cool

Here it is:

Sacred and Sweet by Aaron Laughlin

Don't know if I would consider it prog (maybe proggy?), it's probably more indie folk. It's from the guitarist of Farmhouse Odyssey.

Breaking the Girl (from Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik)
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Bruce Cockburn has written MANY beautiful tunes.
Check out the album Salt, Sun and Time. But most of his 70’s works are outstandingly beautiful. Such an underrated artist.

When I think of non-prog most beautiful songs, I know I'm missing so much, but the first thing that pops in my head will always be Mika Nakashima...my fav vocalist. 
Japan has a bad rap for female singers, especially concerning chirpy tones, which is why Mika steers clear from that jive and is such a true standout. She kills me.
Tough to choose, but I'll go with "Cry No More". Totally exquisite, the post-Katrina flood mood, the vocals, the superb musicianship. What sucks is the fact that finding the entire song on YouTube is such a pain. But what I can find is total bliss (for me at least). I cherish owning this full deal on vinyl.

Also, props to the Bat For Lashes pick. 

Julia Holter has some doozies too (my newest thing)...
