Songs that Inspire or Move you

After all, it's all about the music. There are certain songs that no matter how many times I hear them, they still move me. Just wanted to know some of your favorites. Doesn't necessarily have to be spiritual or gospel, but just very honest and real sounding. Here are some of my favorites.
Redemption Song-Bob Marley
Peace in the Valley-Johnny Cash at San Quentin
U R Loved-Victoria Williams
Nothing Compares to you-Toussant MCall
Dearest-Buddy Holly
May Peace find you tonight-Reckless Kelly
There is a Time-The Darlings(Dilliards) from Andy Griffith Show

The Band "The Weight"; "God Only Knows" written by Brian Wilson, sung by his brother Carl; "Like a Rolling Stone" by you know who; "No Time To Cry" by Iris Dement (a devestatingly moving song); a Slim Harpo song in a current version by the great Joan Osborne, "Shake Your Hips"; Ry Cooder's guitar solo in John Hiatt's "Lipstick Sunset".

"What Becomes of the Brokenhearted", both the original sung by Jimmy Ruffin and the live one Joan Osborne did with the Motown house band in the documentary about them. A masterpiece of a song. Even J.S. Bach smiled when he heard it.
