Sometimes it's as much the singer as the song.
Warren Zevon's take on "Knocking' on Heaven's Door" as he was dying from brain cancer is pretty moving.
Even tho her voice is largely gone, hearing Stevie Nicks sing Landslide is always a moving experience for me.
Roseann Cash has the ability to make a good song great and does so regularly. I'll go with "500 Miles" and/or "Bury Me Under The Willow Tree".
There's a Bottlerockets song called "Waiting on a Train" that might be the saddest rock n roll song I've ever heard.
I find "The Christians and The Pagans" by Dar Williams a moving plea for tolerance.
Nice idea for a thread. Lots more to save for a follow up post.
