It give me chills every time...

[Karlaxx]

-Every time I perform "The Star Spangled Banner", generally right around 'rocket's red glare...' I'm a sucker for patriotic music in general, and naturally my own country's even more so.

-There's a certain time somewhere between 9 and 11 minutes into Eric Whitacre's "When David Heard", a song about a father losing his son (which seems to me like a rollercoaster ride through the stages of grief- I can only stand to listen to it a couple times a day max) when the previous prevailing tones of loss and rage and grief are replaced by something almost happy- certainly bittersweet at the least. Every time, I have this image of a man setting aside his loss for a brief moment to remember the good times with tears in his eyes, and my eyes tear up too, and then the whole ordeal gets that much more painful for having enshrined those happy memories and ohmygodgetmeakleenex.

-Now that I think about it, everything I can think of to put on this thread is music.

"Well, Im tired of comin out on the losin end
So, honey, last night I met this guy and Im gonna
Do a little favor for him"

It's almost the last line of Atlantic City by Bruce Springsteen. It doesn't tell you what the favor is but I can't help but feel like it's something horrible. I always shiver at that part of the song. Also, as long as I'm talking about Springsteen the entire song State Trooper song belongs here.

- Many of the emotional moments in the Mass Effect trilogy, particularly one sequence on the Krogan homeworld in Mass Effect 3

Spoiler: Dude . . .

That scene was already a huge tear-jerker, but when Mordin started humming A Scientist Salarian, I lost any composure I had.

Matt Damon's "Why I Shouldn't Work for the NSA" speech in Good Will Hunting.


An astonishing point blank criticism of the American government that still holds shockingly true today.

I had a perfectly good video game related answer to this and now I've blanked on the title, and I can't find it on youtube via what I think it might be called.

A lot of it involves several "panels" of footage from games, with text on top of it, and music in the background. It's about the emotions games evoke (and I think a perfect example of why I love video games). I feel like the title or something in the video has to do with "the most important person in the world/universe/something else" but searching that doesn't seem to bring the video up. Either I'm completely off or it's been deleted (which I really hope isn't the case). If anyone knows what I'm talking about a link would be much appreciated.

As for something I can remember, there are a ton of examples from music, but the first to come to mind is anything by Symphony of Science. Normally I'm not a fan of the auto-tuned speech style, but it really seems to work for these songs. Not to mention they're super inspirational.
