"…watching stars without you, my soul cries…"there is just something about that music that enables a deep breath – a large inhale and a slow exhale.
this is just one of many for me. are there songs that open up a space in you?
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain. -Emily Dickinson.

That one does it for me, too. Other surefire ones are "Ghost" by indigo girls, "Double Cure" by Vigilantes of Love, and "Moses" by Patti Griffin. Of course, you're asking this question of someone who has become a "hair-trigger crybaby", so I don't know much that doesn't evoke a jolt to my spirit. Heck, I had to suppress sobs when a song from a Veggie Tales soundtrack came up on the iPod while I was exercising! ;)
ahhhh..."Ghost", that one brings instant tears. i perfectly relate to the "hair-trigger cry-baby" thing. it's a daily thing these days - songs, books, stories on npr, tv/movies, commercials even (especially the olympic one with the morgan freeman voice over about the guy that fell during the race and his dad helped him finish it...close to sobs).
