Oh ****, I almost forgot "Greystone Chapel" from Johnny Cash's At Folsom Prison live album. It's a song about the power that religion can have to give men hope and purpose, which is not generally my bag as an atheist, but the lyrics, the performance, and the circumstances of the recording make it more than just a religious statement, but also a testament to the best of mankind, even in the worst conditions.

It's the last song on the album, and afterward the inmates making up the audience would be marched back to their cells to endure a pitiless existence of boredom and dehumanization, but this song was the perfect way to send them off with as much hope as possible. The fact that the song was written by an inmate of the prison, who was also in the audience, makes it all the more poignant and beautiful.

The second chorus at the end, when Cash's wife comes in, and you can hear the audience singing along, hits me hard every single time.

Awesome pick Bat. Johnny Cash may be the down right baddest rock-star ever.

Come Away With Me- Norah Jones, My parents used to play this song all the time on road trips. The song is great in itself but the nostalgia is what really moves me.

Don't bull****. You cry at that song cause of the commercials. I can't watch those things, man.

If one comes on I change the channel as quickly as possible. City of Angels is a really good and emotional flick.

After growing up in the age of beheadings and other readily disturbing content on the internet, videos of tremble-prone dogs begging for a piece of steak being dangled off screen isn't really that bad.

Hmm, I wouldn't call it moving me to tears, but it did make me feel a bit...torn, lol. The song is Unbreak My Heart by Toni Braxton.
