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

I remember playing "Landslide" while in the Navy onboard ship. I had my system set up in a tiny 8x10 stateroom. My buddy across the hall had his set up and we would open the doors and blast each other out. Could only play lp's when the seas were calm. Thanks for bring that back, Ivan_nosnibor.
The Genious of Coleman Hawkins record. Listening today after work I thought its like one long song. Comfort music that makes me want to keep trying.
twas as beautiful day in the neighborhood so i went out for a run. cued up meat puppets ii. heard "lost" and started bawling like a little girl. "i've got a wound i swear will never mend". waaaaa
Too many to list! Here are 2 songs that I just recently "spun" that are completely at opposite ends of the spectrum.
Don McLean-The Grave
Chuck Mangione-Land of Make Believe(Esther Satterfield)
Beethoven -  "Fur Elise"
Led Zeppelin - "Bron Y Aur"  (not the Bron Y Aur Stomp)
Weather Report - "A Remark You Made"
