So, hit me wit the songs that you believe illicit emotion all on their own...
As a tag along to the "Band Sound" thread, I am starting this thread to share pieces of music that you find elicit the strongest emotions for you.
I think, as a ground rule, we should try to differentiate between music that elicits emotion on its own and music that elicites a memory that carries an emotion. I'm looking for the form rather than the latter. My Bacon/Big Band connection carries a whole host of emotional feelings that have nothing to do wit the emotions intended by the song.

On the same plane as Heaven and Hell Movement 3, a lot of people have the same response to Pink Floyd's "Great Gig in the Sky".
I have found great pleasure in watching youtube reaction videos to people hearing that song for the first time.
this is probably my favorite:
I started watching music video reaction videos last week and haven’t stopped. They are a lot of fun. My favorite are ones where people listen to genres they aren’t familiar with, like rap fans listening to country or rock and vice versa.
I know Vangelis only later (I'm slightly younger I suspect) as part of the reason the original Blade Runner was such a masterpiece. Sci-fi synth track can go so easily wrong...can be so absurd and be dated almost as soon as it's releasted...but I feel he did one of the better jobs from that era. Definitely gave a mood to the move that added to its greatness. There are two recent songs popular on Pandora that include parts heavily reminiscent of his Blade Runner melody (credits track), still relevant it seems.My contribution...Before there was Peter Gabriel in my life... even before there was Pink Floyd... there was Vangelis.

My avatar of course, coming from the most epic high note of an epic work, in part, with sounds from Vangelis.

Oh hell yeah I'm with that guy.
I love the "Hold up, I have to rewind, I wasn't ready for that..." moment.
I know the feeling, brother.
Likewise, I have seen the Pink Floyd song Time bring men to the verge of tears...
Watch as he plays around wit the song, only to be punched in the psychological face with the lyrics.
