    Part II of Handel's Messiah, specifically the Hallelujah Chorus. Just because.

    "I Vow to Thee, My Country" the music of which was taken from the 2nd movement of "Jupiter" from Gustaf Holst's "The Planets." Many Brits consider it to be their unofficial national anthem, like "America the Beautiful" is to Yanks; a couple of Christian hymns such as "O God Beyond All Praising" also use the music, known as "Thaxted," given to the "Jupiter" melody excerpt by composer Holst. Here a young lass of the Royal Marine Bands sings:

    "Safe and Sound" by Capital Cities. When my daughter got married we didn't want to do a traditional slow dance to something sappy like "Butterfly Kisses" because that ain't us. We both liked "Safe and Sound" because it's very catchy and I like the trumpet chorus. So we worked out a dance routine mimicing a number of the dance moves in the "Safe and Sound" video. It was a blast, and the reception guests were surprised and and went nuts about it. We got into position for a traditional father/ daughter slow dance, and when the song started we both sprang 90 degrees and started with the moves. I wasn't the least emotional then, but ever since, I'll tear up at the memory if the song's on the radio or streaming. It was such a good time, and halfway through the dance we invited the guests out on the floor and They. Simply. Did. Not. Stop. Dancing. until the very end. The DJ commented that he never had a reception where the people danced continuously like that the entire time.

    The Capital Cities video that provided inspiration:

    You dont hear this one very often Charlie Daniels version of the National Anthem. Fe plays it on the fiddle and puts so much feeling into it. Another is the Edmond Fitzgerald.

    There are many...all named before, but I think my favorites are "HE is Risen", and "In the Garden". Beautiful! But, I have one nit to pick with the latter... "...none other has ever known..." I believe there are perhaps hundreds of millions who have experienced the "known" It is free to all who seek it. Just my non-humble opinion...not trying to start a fight.
    IT IS A FINE AND PLEASANT MADNESS !

    #1 Trout Fishing in America's "The King of My Mountain"
    I'm the king of my mountain, the king of my stuff
    My kingdom may not be too much to look at
    But it's mine and it's just enough
    I've got toys to amuse me, books to peruse
    Ideas to pursue, even some I might use
    Puzzles to puzzle and riddles to solve
    And the things that I do for the people I love
    I'm the king of my mountain, the king of my time
    Sometimes I forget to remember that I am the king
    The king of my mind
    I tell it to think and not to worry
    I tell it to rest, don't get in a hurry
    Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera I say
    I'm the king so I do it this way
    A warm comfortable bed, a roof over my head
    Tapestries hanging on walls
    Tables and chairs and secret staircases
    Chambers for sleeping right down the hall
    I'm the king of my mountain, the king of my heart
    With so many subjects and so much to learn
    It's hard to know where to start
    I've got toys to amuse me, books to peruse
    Ideas to pursue, even some I might use
    Puzzles to puzzle and riddles to solve
    And the things that I do for the people I love
    And the things that I do for the people I love
    And the things that I do for the people I love

    Two that give me goosebumps every time, Barber’s Adagio for Strings heard during the closing credits of Platoon and when the violins come in in Moonglow by Stoloff. Beautiful music.

    Dolly Parton - "He's Alive", every Easter morning.

    Kid Rock "Born Free", There's a ton of others but these just came to mind. jd
    It seems that people who do almost nothing, often complain loudly when it's time to do it.

    there are so many. I guess each of our individual experiences of the past bring us to like or be moved by different things, me, my folks always had classical music on and every week we would all watch hee haw. I learned music young and have been writing songs since I was about 15. ive written dozens and it gives me the greatest respect for guys like Leon who wrote and recorded more than 500 and played on at least 1500 recordings, many we all know and love from other artists.
    a big Leon Russel fan a couple that get me are
    a song for you
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37dw2r45Xzg

    and
    stranger in a strange land

    but for some crazy reason ive listen again to
    one tin soldier, made famous from billy jack

    and on the modern classical themed
    awaken, by Jon Anderson

    but there are so many others

    Not to cast aspersions upon any other musicians, but this is a great example of what happens when things go terribly wrong.
