Neo-classical pieces are probably not what you're looking for, but I've always found these pieces to be evocative and emotionally full.
Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue"
Copeland's "Fanfare for the Common Man"
Ravel's "Bolero" (this one is thought by some to be rather erotic, due to the rhythms and the roaring climax)
And search YouTube for "Ode to Joy flash mobs" Truly inspiring, and aptly titled.

Hand that feeds,Take me to War ,and Not the Ghost by The Crane Wives
Vampire by The Orion Experience

My mother told me- a sea shanty
Hiding in the blue- the fat rat
Skimming through the internet. I came across "nothing compares to you" by Chris Cornell. I have never felt so nostalgic in my life! Chris could really get to your soul with this one.
