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 also get really choked up when a national anthem is played, could be any national anthem. Must be all the conditioning I imagine.

Martykl: Great point! Just like this thread's topic. It's all in how the question, or in this case, the thread topic is presented. Regarding the importance of the meaning of a song vs, a particular artist's rendering of that same song, well, they kind of go hand in hand but I have a comparison for you... My post of Vic Chesnutt's "Square Room". A great song, IMO,... it is more meaningful sung/interpreted by Margo Timmins. This IS just my opinion. I agree with you as well with Rosanne Cash & Stevie Nicks.
