Is there a song that instantly makes your heart leap?

I'm a huge music fan. Songs dictate my emotions a lot which might sound weird. DH is not a music fan and he totally doesn't understand the feelings a certain song can provoke in me.

So is there that one song that instantly touches your soul and provokes emotions??

Mine is Gary Moore - Still in love with you

OP, Parisienne Walkways speaks to my soul. Such a beautiful song. Also love Sailing by Christopher Cross.

@swampytiggaa I also have a playlist of my absolute favourites and it's as random as they come.

I'm off off to listen to some of the tracks mentioned as there's some forgotten gems here.

@BrilloPaddy

The Boys of Summer by Don Henley takes me right back to being a teenager, such memories.

And Paradise by Coldplay - just magic when they do it live. Always gives me goosebumps when I hear it.

Best song of the 80s if you ask me!

@Quickchangeartiste oh Private investigations!! I had forgotten about that one!

Also love hotel California. I think it's anything with an amazing guitar riff or a proper bass line that grabs me!

I am making a playlist of all of these for Monday when I'm working :)

Country roads - no idea who by.

It instantly takes me back to my childhood driving through the mountains between France and Spain belting this out with my parents and brother.

Something Changed by Pulp always makes me think of when DH and I first met.

Here comes the Sun - the Beatles - DH played this the day we brought or DS home when we adopted him. It really did feel like the sun had finally come out after ten years of fertility problems,
