    My very favorite christmas song happens to be very offensive to just about everyone except maybe christians. Although i could be wrong.

    Christmas - I always liked "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". There is something almost apocalyptic about it. Hearing it is a bit like dying all alone, of cold and starvation, in a good way, because it's not real.

    Religion/Classical - I don't know if it was supposed to be religious or not but I must mention Sarabande by Haendel.
    ******* AMAZING if I do say so myself:

    or if you already know and love the song, listen to how beautifully it translates to the guitar for extra "rip-out-your-heart-and-cry-for-humanity-ness".

    I love Ave Marie, love the scene in the godfather.

    Also was at a wedding recently and a girl with a harp sang it in the church, I had goose bumps on the back of my neck, she was just brilliant.

    Probably In Dulci Jubilo, particularly the Mike Oldfield version where he plays every instrument himself:

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Forgot how much I love that song.
