Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake ...
Oh, this thread. Not only have I been teary-eyed and quiver-lipped for the past hour, but I've also been exposed to some great music and stories.

My contribution:

Have A Little Faith by John Hiatt. Such and honest an powerful love song.

The "international" version of Ben E. King's Stand By Me.

The final scene of The 25th Hour.

And this photo of one soldier comforting another during the Korean War.

I got this link from the 'gently caress yes moments in music' thread.

Sigur Ros - Ara Batur

I am a huge music freak and dedicate pretty much all my spare time to discovering, writing and listening to music. While several songs move me immensely, never has a song made me openly weep, until I heard this. Several hours after listening to it I still feel frail. I can't even think of it without tearing up. I have never had an experience like this before. I feel like it was worth living just to hear this.

Thank you for this.
