Ha ha! I didn't say there were no exceptions! "Hallelujah" is one of my favorite songs. There are several versions of it that give me chills... The good kind.
No, there are many simply beautiful and even elegant songs and pieces that I love. I've been listening to the soundtrack to "The Pirates of the Caribbean" and some complete opera recordings of Anna Netrebko. These prompted my last post. Do you have a top ten list of favorite songs ever?

For me some songs just have the right feel. One of those is Ted Weems 1933 Heartaches. Ever since the first time I heard it when I was a teenager it always turned me on. Ive heard the same song by other artists, but they are kind of blah. Another is Mexicali Rose by Gene Autry and I Want You I need You by Elvis. They hit a certain chord and just feel right.

Definitely the lyrics usually interest me the most, but I get really captivated by the beats too.
And I also love a lot of instrumental music, of many many sorts, for the different interpretations that they can prompt.
