AbE, I guess you are replying to what music moves you? Me too, Great tune. Danny Boy moves me due to emotional association with a traumatic event. English poem that the author couldn't sell until he set it to an Irish tune. The Londonderry Air, which an Irish group made sure to pronounce as "London Derrire."

Of all of the good music Cathedral Quartet have moved and inspired me the most.
No other quartet has ever had a better base singer than George. I've heard these musicians in person when two of the original members, George and Ernie were still alive.

Take the Four Tops cover of "Walk Away Renee" and then isolate the vocal tracks.
(Here it is with the instrumental tracks restored.) Franco Battiato covering the Rolling Stones's "Ruby Tuesday," used to great effect in the movie Children of Men. Here it's used as background to scenes from the David Lynch masterpiece Mulholland Drive.

I am a huge Floyd have never seen them in concert but did see Roger Waters in his 1984 tour for Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking at the Radio City Music Hall.
I truly enjoy all of the different stages of Floyd. From the beginning psychedelic songs of Syd Barret up to the Arena rock sound of the Gilmour lead Pink Floyd of the 80's and 90's. At one time I had every Floyd album available in the USA including 10-15 imports. Unfortunately the ex wife sold them all. Not the cause of the divorce but a contributing factor. For years my favorite Floyd album was the Final Cut. IN actuality as you said it was a Waters album primarily, but the songs are haunting and riveting. Right now I am really enjoying Animals again. Here is the 8 track version of Pigs on the Wing. Different than album version. Snowy White is on Lead Guitar.

Does "causes an intense emotional response" count as "moves you"?

Here's a beautiful version of the Talking Heads classic This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody), performed by David Byrne on the Jools Holland show. It has a fantastic strings accompaniment that really lifts the song.
There's also a good version of Byrne's solo number Glass, Concrete and Stone from the same set. Mutate and Survive

... "Ruby Tuesday," ...
And also used effectively in The Royal Tennenbaums. Though your clip reminded me of another powerful performance, Dolores Del Ro's acapella Llorando, a Spanish version of Roy Orbison's "Crying". Mulholland Drive was a very strange, very disturbing film. Though it doesn't compare to then-Walter Carlos' Moog rendition of Purcell's Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary, which opened the film, A Clockwork Orange. Not necessarily moving but still interesting and a lot of fun, is Carlos' Pompous Circumstances, which lets Elgar's theme collapse under its own ponderous weight, then develops it in several variations and styles (eg, a Scott Joplin rag, a Scottish march, and Hail to the Chief morphing into Yellow Submarine). I've got to pull that one off of vinyl and into my iPod. Edited by dwise1, : Carlos

Judy Collins, "My Father".
This is the best version I can find on the Internet. It would be better without the spoken introduction, the song speaks for itself. Go and buy some of her albums.

Judy Collins absolutely sent chills up my spine - "Someday Soon" is, like "My Father," one that nearly brings me to tears when I hear it now, forty+ years later.
Joan Baez's version of "Deportee" does that, too. I'm wiping my eyes typing about it.....
