Music that has a strange emotional impact on you

Thanks everyone for your contributions, very interesting how everyone has so different preferences and experiences.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

To me, this is a piece that cannot be analyzed-- no understanding of the harmonic movements or instrumentation can capture more than a tiny fragment of the piece's genius. Much of Mozart, like the piano Sonatas, is simple enough to be reproduced by a competent student in my opinion, but this. . . this is something really special. Have to add the death of Aerith. The theme starts at 2:24. Best moment in all of gaming history IMO. . . my daughter and I were playing through this, and she pretty much broke down. I got "dust in my eye" and had to retire to the bathroom for a minute. Not only a musical moment, but one of the highlights of my memories of my daughter.  Supposedly this song is about a heroin addict who ODd under a bridge or something. There's no rhyme or reason why I should identify with this song, but it can bring me to ters by the third chorus. No idea why. :  It's not even that good..
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite. Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment. Quote:Some people deserve hell. I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong. ![[Image: tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif]](https://66.media.tumblr.com/5fb74c6d16622fb3dbb358509c9aec03/tumblr_n1j4lmACk61qchtw3o1_500.gif)
 You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis. 
Time Rider I can't explain why the soundtrack (and the whole movie) touches me emotionally but it does. It's a time travel story of the type where no paradox is possible. If you go back in time, it was meant to be. You are a part of history and don't really have the power to change anything. In this story, the flaw is the pendant. It gets passed from descendant to ancestor in an endless loop. It had no origin.
The whole thing just touches me on an emotional level that's probably not meaningful to other people. The connection between Lyle Swann and Claire is just so magical. And I just loved the music. Hauntingly beautiful and magical. And then there is this. I love minor key as it touches on a "mystery of the universe" feel in me. The lyrics strike a chord too as it is about someone who is coming to terms with the fact that her reality is not attuned to the perfect universe she wished she lived in.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

A good friend of mine who killed himself made this song. It's an instrumental song.

Nights in white satin has always been a favourite.
A song that really sends chills down my spine is Forever Autumn. Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
The recent Stayin' Alive: A Grammy Salute to the Music of the Bee Gees featured DNCE performing Night Fever.
https://youtu.be/sDrR9MZcbvg The link is to a cell phone vid shot by an audience member. I linked that since it is uncut, the version televised was shortened. As for the emotional angle, well, DNCE did it well enough to cause your vorlon to choke up. And Having Barry Gibb in the front row of the audience and acknowledged during the number was really nice. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
