Dylan's Hurricane
Beat me to it. Probably the best example. I was on a sailing boat around the whitsun islands, the sun was setting, i'd had a fish bbq & a few beers.
Listening takes me back perfectly every single time.

Big River - Jimmy Nail.

No a Jimmy fan but this song always bring a tear to the eye, in no small part as I recall the Tyne and the era he refers to vividly. But it's also a very well crafted song and when Knopfler, the other Geordie, drops by it's pretty much perfect. Less so when Sting joins in.
