I was curious to know the songs that mean the most to you. They can be for any reason. As long as it has a deep meaning to you and/or if it makes you emotional. Personally, The Last Goodbye by Billy Boyd (Emotional), O Children by Nick Cave (Meaningful), and Father and Son by Cat Stevens (Both).

Mmmmmh got too many songs that fit the description to me - stargazing (reflecting upon life, it always comes back to my mind) , The last soul (whenever i feel out of place), The last goodbye (Clamava de profundis, i always think of this song when i'm about to do something really dangerous), "you" (steve martin - listen to it and you'll understand), The way (instrumental from zack hemsey, because i'm pretty sure how i'll die- it fits perfectly), Romance in the air (piano), ...
Each day i listen to songs that carry meanings for me, each song can make me happy, sad, or even both. I'm never listening to random songs from other people or to the radio. I'm pretty sure it's the same for everybody though.
Seriously powerful song. Even Paul Simon reached out to compliment him for the cover, and recommended it.
Epic song. Completely different than the original. Love how it is a darker version, and the build up is amazing. This is one of a very few songs, where the cover blew the original out of the water. Another good one is Hurt by Johnny Cash.

Interesting. The House Music/Techno style is a unique way to create the effect. I did find myself closing my eyes at time, to focus on the lyrics. Visually you are drawn so many places within the video. None of this is bad, just a bit of sensory overload for me. But that may have been the goal. I can't help but mention the lead here so reminds me of a young David Bowie. As a fan of his, I smiled at my first look to see perhaps some glimpse of his effect on music living on, if only in my mind. Thank you for sharing this!

As an artists the lyrics speaks a lot to me. The yearning, striving to yield something unique and making a mark is the leading emotion of my life.
I guess I'm pretty much used to sensory overloads, the video looks simple and effective to me .

We started writing Monument after playing around with a software that can stretch short bits of music into billions of years of sound. It made total sense to me that Max wanted to explore this floating feeling and mediation in the video... "
I think the fractal realm leading to universe (around the middle of the song) corresponds to the innerverse of a person. The emphasis on stretched sound is especially over there.

I read a short interview with them, and when asked if they had a style icon:
"Where did you buy your shoes? Who are your style icons?
Robyn: Rick Owens made these shoes, but I put the sole on it. I do it with this guy in L.A. called Andre No. 1, who makes shoes for KISS and Prince and stuff. So I just buy shoes and I stack ‘em with him.
Berge:. I cannot admit to having a style icon. Can I throw in David Bowie? I like Ziggy. ".
So... there ya go I guess lol
I think the visuals need to blend more, but I'm being fussy. It's a wonderful journey. Love the use of fractals, the closer you get to a fractal image the more you see. The lead also sounds a bit like Madonna. Not saying any of this is intentional, just sayin..
And Johnny Cash's Hurt cover mentioned by Chucko above would also be there. Being a huge Cash fan, watching that video in the context of his life and the proximity to his death always brings up some man tears.
Free Bird! That song has tried it's best to get me speeding tickets. I just go.....

Great White, Afterglow (1991). Just discovered today that this song was originally recorded by Small Faces in 1968-69. I like the GW version better.
Great White was/is a Led Zepplin'esque band. 2 seconds of hearing the lead you can hear the resemblance to Robert Plant Wow.. hadn't thought about them in years..
I just turned 60 and remember singing "Boy named Sue" with a classmate in elementary school for some project. Being 60, puts this song (Hurt) on an entirely new level for me as well.
