I am a music junkie and I get all emotional listening to it quite frequently. Both music and lyrics wise Nightwish is propably the most touching band for me.

Wow...I need to get some Nightwish. Can you recommend an album?

Well, how about a change of pace, eh? umm....that's a girl on vocals.

Anyways, she writes crazy lyrics, which aren't posted anywhere, so...

“Sand and Snow”
 Every city is a ghost town where I see remnants of us
 that will never fade because they’ll never see the light.
 The streets remember our footprints, maps made
 in sand and snow, where we walked, side by side,
 the things we told each other, piece by piece,
 as it comes back now, revisiting.

 I stopped searching for our missing ending.
 There are no dry winds carrying torn pages
 down abandoned roads, fluttering, caught
 on telephone poles, waiting to be found
 and read aloud. Even if I, alone, returned to
 those streets, deceased, I’d be choked by the
 ashes of long-combusted paper dreams.

 You are being immortalized as I speak,
 not just in words but a reality I live in my sleep.
 Last night, I dreamt you followed me.
 I can feel you always close, sometimes
 a day ahead or two behind, hunting down
 a similar night, different from the next.
 I can still hear your voice in air currents
 you’ve since left and I’ve just found.
 I told you to never try and find me,
 but how can I ask memories to leave?
 They just come and go as they please.

 And even if I wrote a thousand songs,
 no one will ever know what you’ve done to me.
 They’ll hear it echoing,
 or see the delicate skin shed from a body still evolving,
 ghosts of emotions lost and unable to give up,
 a carcass of a parasite that left
 one final scar before cast from its host.

 We’re not bound by ties
 but inescapably intertwined in each other’s lives.
 Your love was glass cut like a diamond,
 but I have discovered a truer fortune.
 I take pity on your greed;
you will never regain wealth lost in me,
 and even as I immortalize you with my words,
 I know you don’t deserve this.

The second most influential, personally, has been Arch Enemy, especially this song (another girl):

I'm all for songs that speak to my heart. :) My musical tastes are all over the map, though. I think I can find a favorite in almost every genre (*including* Trip Hop!) :D I love sad, mournful songs (and yep, Mad World (Jules version) is in my frequent playlist).


On a different note (heh - see how punny she is), I also love classical music. You can get me going with sweeping opera choruses and opera duets, no problem. "The Flower Duet" from Lakme is a favorite as is Barber's "Adagio for Strings." Man. Nothing tears up my heart more than a deep, mournful cello piece (ala "Mad World" or "Eleanor Rigby") or a series of strings in a sad piece, ala "Adagio" or the "Schindler's List" theme.

Other unusual pieces I like include:

Patsy Cline's "Sweet Dreams (of You)"
U2's "One"
REM's "Losing my Religion"
The Smith's "Meat is Murder"
Loreena McKennit's "La Serenissima"
Chasing Furies' "Fair Night's Longing"
Frou Frou's "Let Go"
Dire Straits - "Brothers in Arms"
The Dandy Warhols "Sleep"
Dryve "Rain"
Leeland "Tears of the Saints"
Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah"
New Order's "True Faith"
Saybia's "Eyes on the Highway"
Oren Lavie's "Her Morning Elegance"
Sting's "A Thousand Years"

And just about anything by Gustavo Santaolalla, Coldplay, Elliott Smith, Explosions in the Sky, Pete Yorn, Radiohead...etc.:m1:

Ditto...there is a piece called "Silouans Song" by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, all strings, slow, dynamic, that pretty much wrecks me every time. In a good way.

Also, the "Lux Aeterna" theme from the Requiem For A Dream soundtrack. :m103:

And a few more (with less strings):

U2 - Where The Streets Have No Name
REM - Losing My Religion
Dalbello - eLeVeN
Morcheeba - World Looking In
Peter Gabriel - Growing Up (the line: "My ghosts like to travel...")
Seal - Future Love Paradise

and onward to infinity, I'll spare you the complete list :m1:
 
Most of the songs from Alter Bridge's "One Day Remains" album.

Oh Gee. Should I really post all the Songs that speak to me now? That would be my entire Playlist(s). :m194:
Some of them are linked to certain Things that happened to me like Things I was going thru in the Past or even People. So when a Song with a Link to - let's say - an Ex comes up SOMEtimes it does ache a little. But I can take that (I am a pulseless INTJ after all :D).

Hm, some Songs that have spoken to me recently were
~ In the Sun (Scrubs Soundtrack) - Joseph Arthur
~ Out of my Hands (Supernatural Soundtrack) - Dave Matthews Band
~ Joe Walsh - Walk away (Supernatural Season 1 Soundtrack)

Yeah you get the Idea I guess. Here some Videos to those Songs for whoever is interested.

Ah!

Thank you so much for the rec, Kitteh...Arvo Part is now a new favorite of mine. I just heard his Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten and I fell in love. Gorgeous, gorgeous piece.

And Gargy - loved the vid recs as well! Man, I've never seen "Supernatural" but now I almost want to. Maybe I can catch it on hulu.

And so did I - hadn't heard that one before, thanks :m032:
The recent Scrubs references made me think of this one, Overkill by Colin Hays:
