This song gets me thinking about the world...and how much it can suck at times.
Basically my "romance sucks" song...someone already said Black by Pearl Jam; I like that song quite a bit as well.
Another song by Alice in Chains, but this one actually cheers me up quite a bit sometimes.
This song recently became my big song to relax to while doing whatever really. I love it.

Step One: Connect your computer to excellent speakers.
Step Two: Wait until night time.
Step Three: Stand beside a window that has a fantastic view, be it of the city or a valley or something of the kind. Try to be all alone if you can, and if not, make sure no one is paying attention to you (use headphones).
Step Four:

This song has snapped me into depression and snapped me out of it. It's made me cheery and melancholy simultaneously. It's made me wish I was synesthesiac, like the composer, so I could hear things like this simply by looking at piles of rhubarb. (Yep, this was Richard D. James translating the music he hears in his head when observing RHUBARB to paper.)
Step Five: Continue to stare out the window for a few minutes after the song ends.

Bonnie Tyler: Holding Out for a Hero. You wanna get impossibly pumped about something? Listen to this before you go do it. 5/5 dudes walking away from explosions.
James Taylor: Fire and Rain. Sad damn times. Lost love from long times past.
Del Shannon: Runaway. More recent lost love. More intense and crazy sadness.
Sheena Easton: Morning Train. This is the song makes me feel insane. She's just so goddamn happy that her dude works all day while she sits on her ass at home.
Eisley: Telescope Eyes. The original version. They compromised a lot on their later version, but here's some choral emo-core for you. And yes, I'm serious about that whole description.
Cutting Crew: Just Died in Your Arms. You know why this is here.

I just finished listening to the album version of this song:

I cannot begin describing how I felt.
Charles Mingus made some really moving work under the Impulse! label, and I just can't get over how well the instrumentation on the The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady and Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus Mingus (he was not an egotistical man at all, what are you talking about!). I still can't get over how powerful these pieces are.

Philip Glass's: Opening to Glassworks.

It's not a song but a piece of music.

Lux Aeterna by clint mansell.
After I saw the requiem for a dream film it became an even more intense experience.
but in order to be instructive
just switch out the ( and ) for [ and ] and you'll be laughing.

Easiest solution is to quote someone in a thread who has, just switch their video for your own.ShortHairedOffender said:

I love Hurt by Johnny Cash as someone else posted.

Just as Shanicus before me, I'd have to say Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt.
I believe there is nothing more to say about that.
On the other side of the spectrum there's Voltaire's Death Death (Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil, Evil, Evil, Evil, Evil Song).
This one never fails to make me smile.

Boards of Canada: Beware the friendly stranger! I found this tune creepy for a long time, and then suddenly... I saw Salad Fingers... The creater of salad fingers uses it on a loop as the background tune! It was creepy enough at 30 secs long, but for over 5 mins, with some equally creepy visuals and script on top! Now I really cant losten to it without my skin crawling!
Other songs that make my skin crawl: Everything in its right place, and Idiotheque by Radiohead!

Tim Minchin-Not perfect, Any song by jonathan coulton, most songs by Red hot chili peppers and R.E.M.
More than I could ever list. Music is my life. A few that come to mind are:
Storm Warning, by Hunter Hayes. That song is the only reason I survived finals week.
I Wanna Feel Something, by Trace Adkins
The Impossible, By Joe Nickels
Don't Ask Me How I know, by Bobby Pinson
I Don't Have to Be Me Till Monday, by Steve Azar
Alyssa Lies, by Jason Michael Carrol
When We Stand Togethor, by Nickelback
Hands Held High, by Linkin Park
Stand, by Rascal Flatts
I'm just gonna stop there, wayyyyyyy too many to list.

I won't bother reposting it, since two people already have, but Johnny Cash's rendition of Hurt is actually superior and far more affecting than the NIN original.. and I love the original.
Has special effect upon me because it was playing at my wedding and has special meaning to myself and my wife.
Inevitably cheers me up and makes me up beat.
