Amid stressful times, it's natural to seek out things that are melodic to the ear, and research has shown that music can be an effective tool in helping us relax and manage stress.

So what are some of the most beautiful songs to listen to?

It's one of the most frequently asked questions on Reddit, as people's tastes have continued to evolve over time: when it was asked back in 2017, one of the top responses was "Dayman (Fighter Of The Nightman)" from "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia."

Redditor erowindforlife2 got the question to go viral again earlier this week — crowdsourcing the r/AskReddit community about what they considered the "most beautiful song" they've ever heard. They received over 29,000 replies, which widely ranged in genre from classical to rock.
