That’s a matter of opinion, fine sir.
But I’ll agree with you, depending on what day of the week it is.

I listened to a lot of Honky-Tonk music as a kid while others were listening to hippie music. I make no apologies.
That was June Carter's song but I must admit that I think Reese Witherspoon did a better job of it.

If this doesn’t move you, you’re just not human.
I make sure I post it every year at Christmas.

Fyi the lyricist was dying of brain cancer when he wrote the words to The Garden. His band mates knew as well when they composed the music.

The entire thing is on Youtube but VERY hard to find. You can't link it for some reason I have tried in the past. If you are interested in finding it this might help.
And yes, I do agree that version of Roland the headless thompson gunner is golden. Here she is singing it.
This is another one from the Congo wars. He was one of Mike Hoare's original people. You need to suffer through sub titles, but it is well worth the watch. You can see how he is generally just getting hammered through the video (drunk). And the questioning has an agenda to it is very clear as well. I also have trouble linking it, so this should get you in the ballpark.
Ok now that I hijacked the thread with my own agenda, I will put in a couple songs.
Also. Do not be dismayed. When this song is a major hit among EVERYONE. it shows we are the. MAJORITY
Yeah clockwork angels was a good last record. Its kind of hard to listen to this even
Wow, some of you guys get emotionally "moved" by some interesting...and occasionally down right weird....stuff. LOL
Much of his lyrics had the theme of carpe diem. Maybe because of the deaths of his wife and daughter.

One of my other hobbies is playing guitar and singing. I started teaching myself guitar in October of 1974.
Anyway, this guy was my wife's favorite singer (he passed away not long after this as one of his last public performances. He suffered from prostate cancer.)
This was his favorite song and mine, too, of his catalog. I learned this song and made my wife cry.
edited to add: we went to see him at the Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth, Texas back in 1995.
little PSA. Most doctors no longer do the finger test for prostate cancer. It is misleading. They take blood and look at the numbers. I had blood work done last year. My PSA is .04. Pretty much means free of any prostate cancer. Get checked out.

The most moving songs I can think of is Pink Floyds “Post War Dream” and “When The Tigers Broke Free”.
Although the entire album of “The Wall” is fairly moving also.
I think some of Eminems earlier music is quite moving when you stop and think about that the lyrics are saying.
Bloodhound Gangs song “Yellow Fever” always moves me to tears but in a different kind of way….

Moving? Well when my bowels are moving I have 2 favs. Tom Petty's Free Fallin and Skynard's That Smell.
