Art means different things to different people, but no matter who you are, anyone can recognize when something is so basically beautiful that preconceived bias slips away and all that is left is a feeling of contentment. These songs do not have subtle motives, and they don’t claim to be anything other than what they are; these artists have achieved near perfect works of art without the use of complicated ideas and confusion. While this playlist spans several genres, all of these songs have one thing in common: their inherent beauty.
