Everybody has one, so post it up. That one piece of music that really gets to you, moves you in ways no other can. And tell us what it is about that piece of music, if you can put it into words.
Oddly enough and probably to the shock of many here, mine doesn't really have any "stand out" guitar work on it, if any at all other than Gilmour's slide work. For me it has to be this live version of "Great Gig in the Sky" by Pink Floyd from the Delicate Sound of Thunder DVD. The music is well written, but there's just something about the power and emotion in the voices of those female singers that every time I watch it, it gives me chills, and I've watched it many times, still with the same effect. I also own the Pulse DVD that came after it which also has this track on it, but it's missing the magic compared to this version.
A close second is actually a tie for me between Alanis Morissete's "Perfect" and CandleBox's "Sometimes". Perfect is a song that deals with the pressures parents can put on their children to be better than they are/were, or to make the parents famous. This song always makes me think of those young girls who are pushed into the beauty pageants by their parents. The kids don't really understand what's going on around them.
CandleBox's Sometimes deals with relationships/marriages breaking up and two people going their separate ways. This song came out at the same time me and my first wife were going through our divorce. This song really hit home for me. Unfortunately I can't find anything but crappy live tracks on You Tube, but it's off of the "Happy Pills" CD. Great song with a lot of meaning behind it. Here's my MySpace player link, it's the first song on my list.
Candlebox "Sometimes"
So what's yours?
