Thursday by Morphine off of their '93 release, Cure For Pain.  If you like bass and sax you'll love this band.

My favourite number off of this LP, In Spite Of Me.  Years ago I created a playlist of what I deem are pretty songs.  This one is on that playlist.

Another pretty song by Fleetwood Mac, Woman Of A 1,000 Dreams, off of their '71 Future Games LP.  The LP version isn't available in "my country" so I'll have to settle with a '72 live performance.

What's your favourite pretty song?

 

One more (gotta stop sometime) . . . The Byrds Chestnut Mare off their '70 double-LP, Untitled.

Trying to get my head around Tipper's concept of a pretty song. I think I've got it. It should have a memorable tune, something to sing along to, perhaps when half-cut or more, but it shouldn't be too sad or depressing, that would spoil the ambience.

On that basis

 Tippers had Chestnut Mare , a wonderful song. Here's another, so pretty and irresistible.

You got it, bannork!!  Nice examples, especially the Al Stewart tune.  It's easier for me to give examples than it is to put into words.  Slow songs.  Certainly nothing raucous.  No hard rock.  Love songs are often good candidates (no pussy whipped songs, though).  Love doesn't necessarily have to be about male/female relationships.  Charming, soft melodies.  Excellent lyrics.  The Byrds Chestnut Mare, for instance.  The song is about the love of a man and a horse.  Very moving.  Emotional.  You got it right, bannork . . . a certain ambiance.

 

Here's another example I post on the other thread.
