“Hark, The Herald Angels Sing”
“O Holy Night”

“The Last Post” on a single bugle or trumpet (whenever I was on Remembrance Day parades, especially with the Firing Party, I’d always have to go to my “happy place” in my mind when it started playing or I’d get a mega-lump in my throat)

“Unchained Melody”, The Righteous Brothers
 
I would Die For That, by Kelly Coffee. It’s about a woman who’s childhood friend got pregnant and had an abortion. Years later, the woman singing the song grows up and finds out she can’t hCause ave children, and wonders how the women of the world can just throw away what she’d give her life to have.

And if the song itself doesn’t get you, the video WILL

Also, Fireflies by Owl City. “Cause I get a thousand hugs, from 10,000 lightning bugs!” ^^ When I’m depressed, this song makes so SO ridiculously happy I can’t stop laughing and crying at the same time.

Lefty Frizzell was the first to record “Veil.” His version was the best.

Live Forever by Billy Joe Shaver
Angel Band by the Stanley Brothers
Barbara Allen by Merle Travis - this one is an old folk song probably recorded hundreds of times. Merle’s version gives me chills.
 
“The Perfect Fan” by the Backstreet Boys!!! It’s a song for moms. I don’t like listening to it because of how sentimental it is. Try to hear it (don’t dismiss it just cause it’s a boyband).

lol, I believe Bruce Willis (Joe Hallenbeck) said the same thing in “The Last Boy Scout”

Wow! Some of this music truly gets to a person 😦

O Holy Night–Definitely but it depends on who and how it is sung

This version gets to me everytime

“O Holy Night” by The Barra MacNeils

XD Ok, this made my day!

There are only 2 rap songs I can handle, and I dunno if they’re actully rap or just one of those rapish sounding genres.

The song handlebars by Flobots is one, and is actualyl a song that has made me cry once. It’s about all the opportunities open to us, and how we can make great or terrible things. It starts off so innocent, being able to ride your bike without holding on, writing a comic book, singing in key…then starts getting more adult and serious. being able to make your own living, your own choices, invent something great. But by the end of the song, the choices have become corrupt, the choice to use knowledge and power for evil, to dominate, to enslave, to destroy. It gave me the chills when I first heard it.
