[Updated on November 6, 2007] Have you ever listened to a song that contains some unknown element that sends an intense wave of energy throughout your whole body? Almost as if you're a part of that particular song for a split second, and when you are, you feel more alive than you ever have. Or maybe you first listened to a certain song during which you were going through a happy moment, or a certain song during which you were going through a sad moment in your life. Then when these moments have passed and you find yourself listening to those songs, you feel the exact same way you did when you first listened to them. These are great examples of these unknown elements that we find in music, whether they be comforting or rather the contrary. These songs I've selected now or at one point in my life have had some of those certain elements click for me and are very powerful in my opinion. I'm not expecting you to feel the same way about these songs, but at least they hold a special place in my life and I thought I would share them with you. [-]
