Songs that Inspire or Move you

Cross the Green Mountain by Bob Dylan

Although I consider them both a bit on the "corny" side, I always liked the theme songs from "An Officer and a Gentleman" and "Dirty Dancing". There's something about Jennifer Warnes singing that appeals to me. Plus you get Joe Cocker and Bill Medley thrown in. What's not to like?

Easy

The Safety Dance. By Men without Hats.

AND

The Police - De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da

Sometimes it's as much the singer as the song.

Warren Zevon's take on "Knocking' on Heaven's Door" as he was dying from brain cancer is pretty moving.

Even tho her voice is largely gone, hearing Stevie Nicks sing Landslide is always a moving experience for me.

Roseann Cash has the ability to make a good song great and does so regularly. I'll go with "500 Miles" and/or "Bury Me Under The Willow Tree".

There's a Bottlerockets song called "Waiting on a Train" that might be the saddest rock n roll song I've ever heard.

I find "The Christians and The Pagans" by Dar Williams a moving plea for tolerance.

Nice idea for a thread. Lots more to save for a follow up post.
