I can appreciate music ranging from Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline to Agent Orange and the Beastie Boys but even though Christmas is over I still watch this video all the time. This little girl's rendition of "Hallelujah" just hits my heart EVERY time I watch it.....one of the most beautiful videos/songs I've ever seen/heard.
Or patriotic with a more redneck flair. Courtesy of the Red White and Blue by Toby Keith.
Some country Christmas stuff. Hard Candy Christmas by Dolly Parton. Means a lot to me because the girl I intended to marry died in a car accident a couple weeks before Christmas. It was very tough on me.
The ones that move most are where almost poetic lyrics convey deeper stuff of life - and where the melody and harmonic structure are a perfect fir with that message. Most of those are older standards, but some more modern takes will do it as well. Seeing Alison Krauss above reminds me of one - "A ghost in this house". Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" can be moving when done right.
There are quote a few more - mostly older - some from great stage shows.
Miranda Lambert - The house that built me Kenny Chesney - There goes my life Tim McGraw - I'm already home Dixie Chicks - Travelin Soldier Amazing Grace played with bag pipes

Bridge over Troubled Waters gets me too but nothing has ever stirred me like Amazing Grace on bagpipes. I am not a religious man but that will damn near move me to tears.

8 pages and not one Merle Hagar or Conway Twitty? And no Texan mentioned Stevie Ray Von? Also like Luther Allison, Freddy or Albert King, some Doors, Guitar Shorty, some Led Zepplin, Earl Scruggs, Nirvana, ah, long list. I like a lot of music.
I don't believe, but this song can even move a heathen like me. I always think of a neighbor who outlived two wives and all three of his children. He was a sweet old man - and he believed.

Not normally nostalgic, but i get gooseflesh when i hear the first minute of Welcome to the Jungle played loud. They played that a Washington stadium in Missoula, when we ran out of the tunnel for the last ballgame i played in 1998.
I can't listen to bagpiped Amazing Grace comfortably.

What hits you this way??
If I had that song on vinyl, I'd a wore it out by now.
She should sing O' Holy Night. That would pretty well bring a man to his knees.
