    Johnny Cash's version of Hurt sends chills down my spine every time I hear it.
    excellent choice you can hear the pain in him

    Yes. I love the contrast between his version and the equally awesome NIN version. You can feel his experience in his voice. Love it!

    and this one too:

    Fix You by Coldplay

    When you try your best, but you don't succeed
    When you get what you want, but not what you need
    When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
    Stuck in reverse

    And the tears come streaming down your face
    When you lose something you can't replace
    When you love someone, but it goes to waste
    Could it be worse?

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you

    And high up above or down below
    When you're too in love to let it go
    But if you never try you'll never know
    Just what you're worth

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you

    Tears stream down on your face
    When you lose something you cannot replace
    Tears stream down on your face
    And I...

    Tears stream down on your face
    I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
    Tears stream down on your face
    And I...

    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you


    The live version of this song where thousands of people sing with/back to the band are -incredible.- You'll get chills!

    This, especially with the video

    Agreed, that is one of the most powerful videos I've ever seen.

    Me and Bobbie McGee.

    Tried to explain it to my daughter, Holland, once, when she was about 11. We were driving home. My father had just died. I tried to explain the line "I'd trade all of my tomorrows, for a single yesterday" by relating it to how much my Mother missed my Father. Couldn't finish. Got a lump in my throat and teared up. Just like I do right now. She looked at me like I had another eye growing in my forehead.

    Lord have Mercy, by Robin Mark.

    It always reminds me that man, in his fallen state, is not good enough to please the Lord without salvation, no matter how hard we try, and that God always has maercy for his children.


    Above all, by Michael w. Smith
    this reminds me of how JEsus Christ humbled himself and became sin for the entire human race, and how I should not live for myself, but for the one who died to give me life.


    Pirates of the Carribean theme, by klaus badelt

    this humbles me because when I try to play it on piano imake it unrecognizeably horrible. and it makes me realize I am not as great a muscian as i thought i was. :)

    "Above All" Michael W. Smith
    "How Deep the Father's Love for us" Selah
    "You Loved me Anyway" Sidewalk Prophets

    It's humbling to think of that type of love and sacrifice being poured out for me.

    "Jesus, Friend of Sinners" by Casting Crowns

    This hits me hard every time. I can always think of a snap judgement I made about someone based on outward appearances or life cirmcumstances, and I know that's not how we were taught to live and love.

    "Go Rest High"

    This just reminds me of a good friend that we lost too soon, and this was fittingly played at his funeral. He struggled with schizophrenia his entire adult life and he knew all too well what it was like to "face the demons", it was almost a happy good bye knowing he was finally rid of that affliction.

    Jesus, Friend of Sinners" by Casting Crowns is one of my favorite songs.

    For Sure...Amazing Man, Artist, singer and song writer. The world is a lesser place without him (yes I know he didnt write that song)

    "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw.

    The first time I heard it was about a week after my Stepmom passed from cancer. About 3 years later I was having this weird problem with my vision only in my left eye and the doctor's couldnt figure out why. I left the 3rd doctor's office I had been to in two months and had just heard scary words like "blood clot", "aneurysm", "stroke"and "brain tumor". So I left there feeling like I had a time bomb in my head. That song came on the radio when I was driving home. I started crying so hard I had to pull over. It really made me think if this is the real end have I lived my life right? What will I be remembered for? Am I a good mom/friend? I forgave my sister. I spend more time with family and friends even when it's an inconvenience. I go out of my way to help strangers. I have more patience with everyone I come in contact with.
    The eye thing ended up being optic neuritis, inflammation of the optic nerve caused by multiple sclerosis. I'll tell you what, when that doctor told me it was MS, my first response was "Thats it? I'm not going to die?" I almost danced a jig around his office. He was stunned. :) But, I never forgot that moment and I never forgot that song. Five years later it still makes me cry.
