5 Of The Most Moving Songs Ever Written

Music stirs the soul
Music is music for the ear, but not always for the heart. What I mean by this is that there is a lot of really great music that has all kinds of effects on the speaker, but there are also some that stir the waters of our soul.

One of the best things about music is that almost any given song can have a different meaning for any listener and that is what I think I have in mind when choosing these 5 songs as the most moving of all.

For a song to have made this list, it had to be versatile. I had to be open enough to the interpretation that I felt that very few of their listeners would feel "excluded" because it was too religious, related to a specific type of character or so ingrained in its genre that lovers of other types of music could not t "feel it".

Almost any day, almost any time, the following songs have the ability to erase what I have in mind and remind me that I am human.


What makes "My Immortal" a great song
Of course. "My Immortal" is quite young in terms of the songs, but that does not change the fact that the voice of Amy Lee in this song is very convincing and that the guitar solo seems to take what you feel and try to push it directly into your chest. .

Released in 2003, Evanescence guitarist Ben Moody wrote this song with a little help in parts of Lee.

So, who can not relate to a song that discusses how one puts his heart and soul in another and ultimately gets the bag? Whether by death or disappointment, this song has the ability to remind you of that person who has left and the emptiness that still exists as a result.


If it catches you at the right time, "My Immortal" certainly has the ability to arouse emotions.


Have you looked at the "Man in the mirror"?
Most likely, we all have it at some point. Not only to comb or make up makeup, but also to analyze who we are and how we are going to "make a difference".

The song really does not need interpretation. It is quite obvious what it is about but, of course, what we see when we look at ourselves in the mirror is different for each one of us. We know who we are better than anyone and when this song is turned on, it's hard to say that you do not start reviewing what you're made of again.

Written in lyrical form by Siedah Garrett, it is only one of 2 "Bad" songs that Michael himself did not write. When asked about how to write the song at Quincy Jones' request, Siedah remembered that he wanted Michael to know who she was and not to be afraid to tell the rest of the world.


Well, there is no doubt that Michael had the world at his fingertips and, regardless of how the "King of Pop" is seen, his music will live forever. Especially this one.



"Landslide" - If it was not great, it would not be so covered
Written by Stevie Nicks and released in 1975, "Landslide" is not just one of the most moving songs ever written, it is simply one of the best songs ever written.

Tell me what makes it so universal. Is it the connection with aging? The fear of change? The fear of love? Whatever it is, "Landslide" comes home so well that all the musicians want to take a picture of the cover. From Dixie Chicks to Gavin Rossdale and from Gwenyth Paltrow to Mylie Cyrus, everyone seems to have a place for this in their playlist.


I love the original and I stayed with him here, but I could recommend the cover version made by Smashing Pumpkins. It's a very close performance and the band really takes pride in their excitement.



"Tears in the sky" = Tears in the eyes
Maybe it's the fact that it's inspired by a real story. Maybe it's the beautiful guitar that sometimes seems that the notes fall like tears. I do not know for sure, but this is a song that, when I asked the people around me and put their hearts to it, "Tears in Heaven" was at the top of everyone's list.

Inspired by the death of his son, Eric Clapton wrote this song along with the help of Will Jennings, who was initially nervous to help due to the personal nature of the subject. Later, both "Tears in the sky" and "The eyes of my father" would be erased from Clapton's playlists because "I no longer felt the loss, which was a very important part of its realization".


Well, Eric finally started playing them again in 2013 and either because of the tour he was on or he started to check his losses, I do not think music lovers stop feeling the loss, since it's usually included in each "Larger ...." list everywhere.
