It may seem cheesy, with the hype surrounding the song after its inclusion in the film Garden State (which I was kind of oblivious to, actually, despite already knowing the band/album), but I find this song absolutely beautiful and it makes me tear up a little. They are kind of joyful tears though, it's hard to explain. It's just really touching. It kind of cuts to the core of what I am and how I feel on the inside.
The Shins - "New Slang"
(I'm purposely avoiding posting a video that has footage from the movie, because my love of the song and the emotions it creates have nothing to do with the movie).
