2Unbreak my Heart - Toni Braxton

Once hearing the melody, I was moved, to the extent that I went to search for the movie whose theme song is this.

3It's a Beautiful Day - Sarah Brightman

This song is absolutely heartbreaking. The lyrics tell of it being someone's last day (to live, I assume) because promises have been broken. Despite all that, it's still "a fine day" for them to see.

4Angel Without Wings - Vitas

Angel Without a Wing embodies painful beauty. If you listen to it, you'll understand. This song speaks to each one of us, and reminds us that despite the trauma that youth brings, we will remain like pure angels from heaven.

This song is the most powerful and heartfelt song I've ever heard.

One of the most classic song by Vitas!
Such angelic voice!
How beautiful soul!
