Eva Cassidy had such a hauntingly beautiful voice - I have been moved by many of her songs. I love her version of "Fields of Gold" too, as well as "Songbird" and "Over the Rainbow". Her tragic, premature death was a great loss to the music world!
There are so many great pieces of music and wonderful lyrics out there, it's difficult to say what affects you the most.
All depends on the mood of the moment, happy, sad, melancholy, whatever, but Eva Cassidy's - "Fields of Gold" is beautiful.

I am living for today, always remembering yesterday, and looking forward to tomorrow!
I have a very diverse taste is music, I love any kind.
This may be different from most suggestions here but my happy song (and the song that makes me feel inspired in a way) is "Through The Fire and Flames" by Dragonforce. Alot of people say all their songs sound the same, but the combination of the melody and lyrics always manage to make me smile.
I Was Born Brilliant; Education Ruined Me
Another one for me is "Inbetween Days" by the Cure.I wisnae a big Cure fan but I liked this song.Cos the lyrics had a sadness to it,but the music was quite chirpy.
Their coming to take me away.....haha-hee-hee-ho-ho
" I Find Your Love" by Beth Nielsen Chapman is another that I like a lot. It was played at the funeral of the father of my friend and certainly brings a tear every time I hear it.

these always make me cry
Why be a hard rock when you really are a gem!
Numb by Linkin Park speaks to me not to go into too much detail but my dad seems to be over critical and wanted me to be a farmer and ever since i turned by back on this he has been less supportive.
"I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
I'm tired of being what you want me to be"
Now im working full time in a job he doesnt want me to have, I resort to this song. At least i know im not alone.
A song that effects me the most is you raise me up by Westlife
you raise me up
westlife
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
[Instrumental break]
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

A song that affects me is 'Airwave' by Rank One.It has no lyrics,just a ground wicked thumping beat that took both guys and lassies on the dancefloor.10 years after rave was suppossed to be dead.Rave isnae dead its just in hibernation.Same as there's not been a decent heavy metal band in years.The Verve have come out of hibernation and their back..........come on gents show us what ye have.
Their coming to take me away.....haha-hee-hee-ho-ho
Do your own searching! I'm not gonna do all your hard work for you!
(Freedom Call, Hammerfall, Dream Evil, Folkearth, Avantasia, Kamelot, Avenged Sevenfold, Blind Guardian, Elvenking - have all released albums recently that have been of a very high standard. IMHO of course. Hell, even Iron Maiden's last album was brilliant. Where have you been, Cedric?)
"It makes my blood burn with metal energy..."
About what?Sitting with a group over a pint with a different music perspective to myself.I have my music,ye have yours.I wrote a post and ye nit-picked one bit.I take it ye wernae a raver then.Take a look at The Prodigys"Music for the jilted generation"album cover wi the boy cutting the ropes wi a knife for the rope bridge to the rave to stop the polis getting across ,How more heavy metal can ye get.
Their coming to take me away.....haha-hee-hee-ho-ho
I refer the honourable gentleman to my answer of a few moments ago.
*sigh*
"It makes my blood burn with metal energy..."
Why?Cos the song that affects ye most in this thread was by the Macc Lads.Well thanks to a pal o mine,ma music goes through all,As the Macc Lads once sang"I've spilt more beer doon ma waistcoat than ye've sucked tonight".So what song does affect ye.For me there's loads.
Their coming to take me away.....haha-hee-hee-ho-ho
'Supped', not 'sucked'.
And yeah, there are loads for me too. Too many to mention, to be honest.
I'll point you in the direction of the song that inspired my signature - Iron Maiden - Prowler.
I still don't understand your blasé statement that heavy metal is dead.
Remember Neville Chamberlain, coming down those aeroplane steps waving that white bit of paper? Well, that was the last time someone was as wrong as you've just been.
"It makes my blood burn with metal energy..."
ACDC Ride On always moves me.
