What song evokes the most emotion from you?

Tears, chills, etc.

For me, it's an incredibly well done a cappella version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah".

Perfect example [youtube.com].

I simply can not watch the above video without tearing up with joy.




Whatcha got?

Depends on the mood.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake (before they used it in a car commercial Annoyed) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgVEvjsJn6g

Hallelujah sung by Cohen

There's another that evokes a lot of emotion but I can never recall the singer or the song name. It will come to me later.

Dawes - A Little Bit of Everything [youtube.com]
"It's the angels up above me, it's the song that they don't sing" is one of my favorite lyrics ever.

Passenger - Riding to New York [youtube.com]
Based on the true story of a guy he met while touring.

Ron Pope - A Wedding in Connecticut [youtube.com]
Nice mixture of loss and triumph.

Tristan Prettyman - Glass Jar [youtube.com]
Super pretty song that is also a post-divorce gut punch.

Bonus:

Passenger - Words [youtube.com]
Young heartbreak distilled into song form.

Just reminded of this one by the Opossum vs Possum thread:

He Stopped Loving Her Today by George Jones (The Possum)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubKUP8c0FHE

Another incredible version of the song is Alan Jackson singing it live at the funeral of George Jones. Especially when he gets to the end and takes his cowboy hat off and holds it over his heart as he sings the last line.

One of the musical things that has annoyed me more than anything in recent years is the reuse of Johnny Cash's cover song Hurt for the Logan movie.

I doubt that many would find the use of that objectionable.

Wow, I somehow totally missed the word cover. I humbly apologize.

Yeah, he doesn't have the same gravitas. Well, he does for me, but I get Cash's following.
