Hands down Hatikva the best. 2000 + year old prophecies coming true and hope for the final complete redemption and fulfullment of all prophecy, all in a hauntingly beautiful minor key, all in a national anthem.

[@vampfashions]

If you can find a full version with the full pipes and drums and orchestra it literally brings chills. Sort of like how "Do They Know Its Christmas (UK) & We Are The World (USA) were nice songs, but Tears Are Not Enough (CDN) is hauntingly beautiful.
