Basically, just post the name of the song that you consider most powerful (as in, has a deep meaning or just sort of inspires you in some way) and why you consider it powerful or any background about it if you know. I'll start with a Queen song (go figure

) called Mother Love. The main reason I consider it powerful because it was Freddie Mercury's last song ever written. He actually died in the middle of the making and Queen guitarist Brian May had to finish writing it and sings the last verse, a painful reminder that Freddie is no longer with us

The most tearful part is at the end when they added audio clips of Freddie's best moments in life, like a clip from their Wembley performance, and a baby crying to symbolize Freddie being born, which is undoubtably the greatest moment in his life :') Does anyone else have any other songs they consider powerful?

Mercury

Clapton's Tears in Heaven is pretty heartbreaking. Never much liked the song though myself.

Saw a doco on R&B - both Otis Redding's Sitting on the Dock of a Bay and Sam Cooke's A Change is Gonna Come were huge hits, but both releases posthumously. I think that's sad in the same way as Mother Love.

Well, it may sound corny, but I still get a lot of imagery from our national song (NOT our offical anthem) America the Beautiful.

Perhaps it comes from having extensively traveled the continent and seeing the people and the places in person....

Nope, not at all corny. Patriotic, but definitely not corny.

I gotta say "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin.
If you take the time and comprehend the lyrics, you'll see that it is in fact a truly beautiful song, more than just the legendary guitar playing.

I was going to say that as well lol. Until I saw an inspiring episode of SpongeBob SquarePants
Not sure of the name.

Another one is both Trail of Broken Hearts and Starfire. Both by Dragonforce.
