...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

I'd like to throw in Sufjan's "Come On! Feel the Illinoise!" out there as well. It doesn't really get "beautiful" until the second half though.
Some more random choices:
Foo Fighters - Virginia Moon
Celebrity - Sundown
Jimmy Eat World - Just Watch the Fireworks
Doves - Satellites
Mew - Symmetry
Stars -What the Snowman Learned About Love
Starflyer 59 - Give Up the War
Snow Patrol - Chocolate
Nada Surf - Inside of Love
most of Beck's Sea Change album
Arcade Fire - In the Backseat (I know some might say Regine sounds like a banshee, or the comparable Bjork, but the musical makes me feel funny... in a good way)
Ambulance LTD - Anecdote
Silverchair - Across the Night

Good one! And lucky you for seeing him in concert...
He's my mother's all time favorite. She owns every single cd, besides the compilations, and we've seen him twice at mile one.
