This gotta be the bestest thread that I've run into....YET!
Some of the posts have captured the very essence of what audiophiletness expresses.
It's difficult to transpose the feelings what music does to the soul. How it freezes time. How it recalls memories from the past. And how it continues to inspire.
Like now, I'm taking in "Austin Limits" featuring some of the best of the past forty years!
Music is like a smorg for me as it is for others out there...what catches the spirit today, will be something different on the morrow...unless you are on a roll with certain genre!
When sharing some down time, "Dark Side" and "American Prayer" tend to grab me.

When I refer to "these songs move me", I mean they have the ability to make me feel as if I leave my body and transport all the while sitting in my recliner. Like a transindental trip without the aid of alcohol or hallucinogens. Preferably in surround sound with the lights dim. Each song had a different experience for me. I think it's difficult for most people to slow down and let them music carry them away. I didn't start to experience this until I was well into my 40's. It's almost like a mental exercise. I'm always on the lookout for music that has the potential to do this. They come few and far between, but when one does it has to pass the test of being repeatable.
From what I could find out I believe it is Niccolò Paganini's 'Rondo Allegro Spiritoso', Concerto for Violin, No. 1 in D Major, Op. 6: III, performed by Hilary Hahn. I hope this helps. Cheers.
+1! Heard the tune previously on a few occasions but the first time I really listened to it I was blown away.
Still get the same feeling whenever I hear it now.
