I was at a target, and there was a guy playing the song Hallelujah on a violin. I was waiting for an Uber and hearing that song was really amazing so I actually asked my Uber driver to stop and gave him some money for such a good performance.
I can’t come up with just one and this list changes over time a lot for me. But here is a current top 3 for me
Dry the River - Weights and Measures
Prolly Cellophane by FKA twigs. And I heard about the song from the stupid dog meme.
Another really good one is Widow in the Window by Great Big Sea.
And Hijo de la Luna by Mecano.
And Lily Allen’s cover of Somewhere Only We Know.
And, it’s an incredibly sad song, but Two Women by Nora Jane Struthers.
The Blower’s Daughter by Damien Rice is a favourite of mine.
Hard to choose one, but Metallica - Fade to Black.
Don’t Wake the Scarecrow by the Felice Brothers
For me it’s Erik satie’s Gymnopedie no. 1. I listened to a dramatized audiobook of lord of the rings a bunch when I was a kid. They played gymnopedie no 1 when bilbo, Frodo, Gandalf and the elves sailed to valinor, and it made me cry every time
The Ecstasy of Gold - Ennio Morricone
The album leaf - until the last
