Most recently, in 2004. The tribute to George Harrison. I've seen this posted a lot recently after the death of Prince.
Usually its classical that gets to me. Like Aranjuez con tu Amor for a horn ensemble (previously I'd only heard it on strings) in the movie Brassed Off.
And of course, the first time I heard
What song or instrumental stunned you recently or in the past after the first time you heard it?

Eminem - Stan
A song about Eminem's biggest fan.
And, since I've mostly posted depressing songs, here's Bryan Tyler - Can You Dig It extended and edited slightly.
Blew me away when I first heard it.

Er, there's a few, I'll try to put just one, maybe two.
I was listenin' to Pandora and Joe Cocker (may he rest in peace) came on with a song that I hadn't heard before. I really liked the piano intro and waited for another instrument or something to... not ruin it, but dampen it a little, you know, drown out that one part of a song you really like.
It never came, every layer just made it better and better.
Not to mention the lyrics really spoke to the part of me, the part that wanted to be a hero for somebody I cared about, a lot of people can relate to that.
I don't quite have that sentiment anymore and I ruined the song for myself, you know how sometimes you'll listen to a song SO MUCH in one sitting you don't really like it that much after that? Kinda what I did.
Still pretty great.
Alright, one more.
The track for the Cleric Beast in Bloodborne got me into the game.
I had never played a Souls game and I knew Bloodborne was mostly the same thing but I was interested. I saw pictures of settings and monsters and liked the gothic feel; then I saw thist monster that caught my eye, looked it up and discovered it was the Cleric Beast, watched a boss fight and what interested me more than the combat was the soundtrack so I looked it up by itself and it blew me away.
I've played a lot of games that have epic scores, God Of War, Skyrim, stuff like that. But this was different, those other games' music was about epic battles, incredible clashes, this wasn't that. This song communicated darkness, evil, desperation, death, and how you will know these things now.
Simply incredible to me.

Everything composed by Yuki Kajiura?
Just a couple examples
Her music just has a really interesting and unique character to it. I also really like violins, flutes and pianos and her music utilizes all of those fantastically.
