Music that really stirs your emotions

ok, I know all music is suppose to stir your emotions . . . but stick with me.

I put the original Boz Scaggs album on the TT this morning. This has always been one of my favorites - I played it constantly while in college in the mid-70's, but haven't listened to it in over a year. Side 2 is one of the best album sides aver recorded IMO - the sequence of songs is perfect. Anyway, It's unavoidable to get sucked into "Loan me a Dime" from the beginning (foot tapping, head bobbing, etc), but about 3/4's of the way through Duane Allman's solo I begin to giggle uncontrollably. Then after all that, it goes into "Sweet Release", which really does help release all that energy from the prior track.

What music most stirs emotions for you - whether it's giggling, crying, or ?

Most anything sung by Eva Cassidy, but especially 'Over the Rainbow' and due to my ancestry perhaps, 'Danny Boy'. The former reminds me of a full grown woman with real desires, unlike Judy with a soft youthful fantasy. She grabs you right in the beginning when she delivers the title - a very straight forward powerful statement - and never lets go! And she dies so prematurely, we can only hope she got to the other side. So sad!

The last movement from Mahler's Symphony #2 (when it finally arrives! - not independently).
