Thank you, @cal91. This is a great thread. Some of the grenade throwing on these forums can become wearying at times (most of the time), and then, reading the above, I am reminded yet again that the readers of these forums have an amazing collective knowledge about music, our raison d'etre.
+1 for Barber, Johnny Cash's "Hurt" and Schindler's List
Satie's Gymnopédies fall into this category for me. Melissa Etheridge's "You Can Sleep While I Drive" has such sad, tragic yearning, in the same way Springsteen's "Atlantic City" is like a stab in the heart, at least to me. There is a lot of bourbon drinking music above. Thank you for the stocking stuffers.
