WHAT SONG TOUCHES YOUR HEART THE MOST?

At a funeral a few years ago, a retired insurance agent sang Israel’s version of ‘Somewhere/What a wonderful world’ accompanied by his son on guitar. A dark and somber day seemed more survivable. For me, though, ‘I Surrender’ by David Sylvian expresses every nuance of this emotion. 

I have a few to contribute and three were already mentioned.
IZ (Israel, Over the rainbow/what a wonderful world)

Peter Gabriel, Biko

Diana Krall, Case of You (I like this version over Joni Mitchell’s original)


Loreena McKennitt, Dante’s Prayer

Dire Straits, Brothers in Arms

No Future - The Sex Pistols. 

Another vote for Keep Me In Your Heart - Warren Zevon.  Especially when you read up on the circumstances under which he wrote it.  

The First Time, a love song written by Ewan McCall in the 50s for Peggy Seeger(Pete's half sister) the woman he lived with for over half a century.

The Crucifixion by Phil Ochs, an allegory of the life and death of John Kennedy. The version by Jim(Ochs college room mate) and Jean is especially moving.
