Subject: What is the Most Moving Music you have listened to?
Was part of a live show they did in Bergen Cathedral in Bergen, Norway. They had Attila Csihar from Mayhem on vocals and Steve Moore from Earth on the Cathedrals Grand Organ. I know Sunn 0)))'s music tends to be very GRIMM and dark, but this song is just so desperate and sad, it's like Attila's at the end of the line and there is no hope.
Shake It by Metro Station made me cry...ooooooh you meant music that was so good it made you cry. There's the catcher...
Well the bagpipe rendition of Amazing Grace is pretty amazing Given to Fly by Pearl Jam What's Left of the Flag by Flogging Molly Rescue is Coming by David Crowder A Song for Our Fathers by Explosions in the Sky Beethoven's 9th Symphony My fellow Americans will hate this but Rule Britannia was very moving for me as was National Anthem of the USSR The Blood of Cu Chulainn by Mychael and Jeff Danna There are more, but I can't think of em all now. I will post them if they are just so epic that I can't leave them out....

When I first heard Metallica, it was Master of Puppets. At the time, I was listening to crap like Dokken and Raven, just ordinary hair-band hard rock because it was all there was on the radio. I had to listen to the entire record with the headphones on a good ten times before I got over being stunned by how awesome it was. Within a year I'd also discovered Slayer's Reign In Blood, which I insisted on playing so much that I nearly alienated all my friends. They are still two of my top ten favorite pieces of music. The next big revelation was Morbid Angel, my first exposure to death metal. It was the first specific style of music that truly spoke to my inner emotional turmoil and granted me a release of the stress that I had allowed to build up for so long.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Dead Flag Blues - God Speed! You Black Emperor (granted, I was reading The Road while listening to it)
Twilight - Elliott Smith
Girl In the War - Josh Ritter
Lua - Bright Eyes (This is just a gorgeously stripped down song)
A beautiful poem turned into a beautiful song by the incomparable Luke Kelly:
This one is awesome once it gets going at about 3:07:
But this gets me every time:
I know it's a hymn, but it's beatiful and speaks to the English sense of national destiny. The words are amazing:
'And did those feet in ancient time walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God on England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here among these dark Satanic Mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight, nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant Land.
The 'chariot of fire' bit always make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Agreed, I may also like to mention 'All you need is love' the ending track from the movie 'Across the Universe', demo version Woman by John Lennon , this song was played as my wife walked down the aisle at our wedding and I was reduced to tears.

@Albatross: That Holst piece is just another football anthem you tommies sing annually at your "Proms," namely, I Vow To Thee My Country. (Of course, it was Jupiter first, but it is emblazoned into your luke-warmly passionate and easily embarrassed Union Flag hearts as the patriotic song first and foremost, I reckon.)

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

I am both selfish and chaotic. I value self-gratification and control; I want to have things my way, preferably now. At best, I'm entertaining and surprising; at worst, I'm hedonistic and violent.

Itzhak Perlman's performance of the Schindler's list piece. One of the most powerful films...with one of the most powerful violin pieces.
Bach Double Violin Concerto
Pachelbel Canon (Cliche but hey I love it...and no I don't know why they used a photo of Mozart)
Someone already mentioned Albinoni's Adagio in G Minor. I watched a Youtube clip that used that song while showing photos from the Rwanda genocide. Sadly, I can't find that clip now.....but after reading/researching the genocide and seeing those clips with that music.....

Star Spangled Banner.
Problem with our National Anthem is men/women who sound like a vacuum cleaner or a cat being skinned alive singing it during sporting events.
When sung by the right person it's very inspiring. Of course being a Patriot I'm a little biased.
Bugs the gak out of me when people don't put their hand over their heart and take their hats off during it's singing.
The one song I really, really enjoy listening to is "Silent Night." I actually prefer listening to it in German. I had to learn the lyrics in German back in Sunday School for the Christmas play one year. 25 years later though and I can only sing one line of it without my tongue getting twisted around itself.
--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.
