The track is called "Sanvean," by Dead Can Dance. Wow, man. Wow. That Lisa Gerrard chick can sing like there's no tomorrow, can't she?

Beautiful Boy - Fantastic song about his love for his young son, particularly poignant because Lennon sings about not being able to wait to see his son grow up. Of course he never would.

Remember "Brothers in Arms" from "Two Cathedrals?" Incredible. Simple incredible. Massive Attack's "Angel" was equally well applied, albeit to different ends, in "Commencement." Fiona Apple's cover of "Across the Universe" always gets to me, and I'm not sure why. It's on the "Pleasantville" soundtrack, I think. Speaking of covers, the Dixie Chick's version of "Landslide" is pretty gripping, too. Björk's "Hyper-Ballad" definitely qualifies as powerful. (To make this post, I sorted my iTunes library by ranking and basically copied-and-pasted the first few rows.) The West Wing hasn't used songs often, but it's used them very effectively.

For family (or friends), "A Beautiful World" by Luis Armstrong comes to mind. For hotties, "American Woman"?
