George Michael - Jesus to a Child
The song was a melancholy tribute to Michael's Brazilian lover Anselmo Feleppa, whom he met when performing in Rio de Janeiro in 1991. Anselmo died two years later from an AIDS-related brain haemorrhage. Michael had been unable to write for the next 18 months as a consequence of his grief, but then penned the words to "Jesus to a Child" in little more than an hour, indicating that the time was right to move on with his life. The song is written with a rhythm and harmony that is influenced by the Brazilian bossa nova style.
Until his death on Christmas Day 2016, George would consistently dedicate the song to Anselmo before performing it live.

Such a Simple Thing, Ray LaMontagne’s newest. First time I heard it on the radio, I felt like I knew this song immediately. And then I burst out crying. His music always gets me. Really great artist.

Technically, not a song, since there are no lyrics, but this piece from the soundtrack of "Gattaca' ...
The Departure.
