Not sure it counts but Toto’s song Africa has an installation in Africa, powered by solar panels and batteries and it’s played in an endless loop.

The Four Seasons by Antonio VivaldiA few centuries is not timeless, but it is an indication of long term endurance.
Mozart’s Requiem (especially the Miserere part).
Someone already mentioned Hocus Pocus by Focus, so I’m going to go with …
Heart - Crazy On You
For when the world is going to shit, so all that’s left is to get it on and fuck your woes goodbye
To be truly timeless you need a few things. A band who knows how to name things. Bad ass drum solos. A couple of electric guitars. An accordion. A flute. Yodeling. Mouth noises. And no lyrics to get in the way.
I give you “Hocus Pocus” by Focus.
Oh damn, I was going to mention this. One of my favourites :-)
