Johnny Cash's cover of the Nine Inch Nails song - Hurt. He recorded it not long before he died and the emotion in his voice is incredible.

Yeah, it is a great song, both the original NIN and Cash's version.

Grieg's Piano Concerto ....and the tune they overdub "Gladiator" with as it ends played as loud as you can get it.

 

[Velorum]

For some odd reason '74 '75 by the Connells.

Perhaps its due to the video which seems to paint a picture of innocence and optomism evaporating with the onset of maturity and the ageing process...............

I remember seeing the video for this on some music channel.

It stopped me dead in my tracks. It absolutely blew me away, I was stunned, nothing had ever come close to doing that before or has since. IMO the single most powerful video/song I have ever seen.

Last Post played by a lone bugler on Remembrance Day in Woodlesford Church the year my grandad died.

 

[Young Un]

I've just listened to Jonhy Cash's cover and the last minute or so are truly amazing!

Heres a nice easy version if you have a guitar and want to depress your significant other on a Sunday Morning.

Works for me.

 

[tordis]

Anathema's "A dying wish".
My Dying Bride's "Cry of mankind".
Pearl Jam's "Better man".
Smashing Pumpkins' "Today".
"Hurt" and "A warm place" by Nine Inch Nails.
Oh, I could go on and on, I'm very easily moved

 

[XmisterIS]

Reise means journey

Yep, and it can also mean "arise", which is why they chose it, so as to give the song title a double meaning. They did the same thing with "Mann gegen Mann" (which works in English too!)

 

[Kirstie]

Lots and lots of tunes. But the second movement of Ravel's piano concerto no 2 in G is very poignant for me. As is a song called 'All the trees of the field will clap their hands' by Sufjan Stevens. Both for very different reasons, but both make me cry lots. Both refer to times of great loss for me.
