For me, it has to be "Make You Feel That Way" by Blackalicious. No matter what kind of day I'm having, this song never fails to fill me with optimism and a gratefulness for every little thing in life whenever I listen to it and really feel the lyrics.

[Samson by Regina Spektor] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p62rfWxs6a8). Coupled with delicate delivery & beautiful emotional piano playing, it never fails to choke me up at least a little bit.
> You are my sweetest downfall
Just such a beautiful lyric to me for truly loving someone unconditionally.
>Samson came to my bed
>Told me that my hair was red
>Told me I was beautiful
>And came into my bed
>Oh, I cut his hair myself one night
>A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
>And he told me that I'd done alright
>And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
It's believed that this song is about loving someone who is dying from cancer (at least it's one interpretation) as hair loss is a common side effect of cancer treatments, but it also ties into the story of Samson in the Bible where him losing his hair took away the power of the "strongest man in the Bible". Her delivery also has almost a sense of a confessional or a tinge of guilt to it, like she didn't want to do it but had to, & Samson's forgiveness of her is shown in such a loving way. Just such a lovely song
