No matter how bad my day gets, whenever this song hits the radio or the streaming service or the shuffle on the MP3s, it changes my entire day. Even when I don't want to listen to anything.

I have the Toulouse Street album on primo vinyl I got from George Grand and sometimes, I just fire up the vinyl rig and listen just to hear this song.
The Doobie Brothers on the HiFi and a nice bourbon in my glass, it's hard to beat!

One of my all-time favorite albums and this opening song. Short and sweet, makes me smile every time, along with goose bumps and chills in certain parts.

listened to this one with my young granddaughter one day a year or so ago. She knew it from camp & started singing along -- and tears were streaming down my face.

When done properly the Star Spangled Banner will get me to stand up and remove my ever present hat and Amazing Grace will make my eyes sweat.

My daughter brought up a CD we had burned with some tunes years ago for her class.

That reminded me of this version of the Battle Hymn, done by Michael Sweet.

Lost my childhood best friend to pills and alcohol 24 years ago. He was 35 and my best friend till the end.
This is the song that raced through my head as I held his hand the night he went to sleep.

Some really good ones already. 😍
Not sure if I could pin it down to just one, or even two, but here are a couple that really make me want to stop and just listen.

Whole song is great, but the first few lyrics always make me almost stop what I'm doing and take it in.

Beato has some very interesting videos out there.
We saw Gordo about 2 yrs before his death, was looking frail but still a story teller. He took the time to talk to the audience and the concert was almost 3 hours long(with intermission). We almost didn't go to see him, we were very glad we did.Yep, my name really is Bob.

The first two couplets get one right in the feels, as the youngsters are wont to say.
One foot stands before the crib
The other by the casket.
A question formed upon stilled lips
Is passed on but never asked.
