gogol bordello immigraniada. Makes me think about my life0

Nussun Dorma by Puccini. Each time I hear it, it reduces me to a puddle of tears
followed by a close second: Time to say goodbye (Timeless in Europe). Blubbering mess each time.0 -
I am not a country music fan by any means, but several years ago I visited a friend in Houston and we went to the rodeo and Trace Atkins was playing. It was the first time I heard that song "You're Gonna Miss This" and it made me cry. Reminds me of how all of the struggles we endure shape who we become.
Another that always gets me is "Unplayed Piano" by Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan.0 -

Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" always makes me weepy for everyone I've lost.0

A melody known well, but words not as well know. It always gets my attention.
Taps
Some history: http://www.west-point.org/taps/Taps.html
Day is done, gone the sun,
From the hills, from the lake,
From the sky.
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh.
Go to sleep, peaceful sleep,
May the soldier or sailor,
God keep.
On the land or the deep,
Safe in sleep.
Love, good night, Must thou go,
When the day, And the night
Need thee so?
All is well. Speedeth all
To their rest.
Fades the light; And afar
Goeth day, And the stars
Shineth bright,
Fare thee well; Day has gone,
Night is on.
Thanks and praise, For our days,
'Neath the sun, Neath the stars,
'Neath the sky,
As we go, This we know,
God is nigh.
Also, I Can Only Imagine, Mercy Me - as I think of meeting my maker when I pass from this world.0 -

Love this song.It Is Well With My Soul - Horatio Spafford
This hymn was written after several traumatic events in Spafford’s life. The first was the death of his only son in 1871 at the age of four, shortly followed by the great Chicago Fire which ruined him financially (he had been a successful lawyer). Then in 1873, he had planned to travel to Europe with his family on the SS Ville du Havre, but sent the family ahead while he was delayed on business concerning zoning problems following the Great Chicago Fire. While crossing the Atlantic, the ship sank rapidly after a collision with a sea vessel, the Loch Earn, and all four of Spafford's daughters died. His wife Anna survived and sent him the now famous telegram, "Saved alone . . .". Shortly afterwards, as Spafford traveled to meet his grieving wife, he was inspired to write these words as his ship passed near where his daughters had died.
When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
It is well,
With my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live:
If Jordan above me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life,
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
But Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait,
The sky, not the grave, is our goal;
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul.
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.0 -
"She thinks his name was John" - Reba Macyntire (I don't know how to spell her name, sorry)
I lost a lot of friends to AIDS and this song always makes me think of them and cry.
"Who Wants to live forever" - Queen
Pretty much the same reason.0 -
You've Got a Way - Shania Twain
My husband dedicated this song to me while we were dating and it was also the song to our first dance at our wedding.
I get goose bumps everytime I hear it.0 -

Kutless - Hearts of the Innocent:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUDDr5vuPy8
I'm looking down into the eyes of hopelessness
They're crying out to me
I see the pain it's so much more than youth should know
It tears me apart
What can I do to change what I see
This vicious cycle must come to an end
[CHORUS:]
Can't you see, we're crushing the hearts of the innocent
We're teaching them to fail
And how it breaks me to see how we're living and punishing the ones that need us to care
To see them hurting
Feels like knuckles to the back of my head
Where have the days gone that a promise was forever
Families stuck together
We wonder why their generation struggles to get by
There's no one to help what can I do to change what I see
This vicious cycle must come to an end0 -

Johnny Cash's version of Hurt sends chills down my spine every time I hear it.
Yes. I love the contrast between his version and the equally awesome NIN version. You can feel his experience in his voice. Love it!0 -
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!0 -
Also, Times by Tenth Ave North. Such a great song. It reminds me that no matter what, the Lord is there!!!!!
I love Praise and Worship music. I have Sooo many favorites.0 -

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.0
