What songs have touched you?

[UglyCasanova]

The thread on movies with the similar theme gave me this idea. What songs give you goosebumps, make you tear up, or just swell up with emotions in general?

I have just started to listen to Classical music again, and I must say sitting back in my chair listening to Mozart - Abduction from the Seraglio made my hairs stand up.

Others include

Sigur Ros - Njósnavélin
Mum - The Land Between the Solar Systems
Brian Eno - Ending (Ascent)

The entire Final Fantasy 6 soundtrack, especially Forever Rachel and the Opera song. I actually wept when I first played the game (in 94).

Stuck in Kansas - Picture of a Wedding

It talks about a wedding, and paints a picture of the two people, and about how they've prayed their whole lives for "the one" and finally found them. You can download it from here. Its freely distributable (is that a word?).

Oh, that reminds me. That song that played during Aerith's death in FF7.

Great taste!

The Sigur Ros song that does it the most for me is definitely Track 8 (Popp) on ( )

Otherwise, lots of stuff, but one that I think is beautiful is an old Red House Painters songs called "Have You Forgotten".

When I get more time I'll add some more.

Edit: Already... I can't go to long without mentioning the entire Nick Drake catalog... his music means more to me than I can possibly say.
