Ah, I've stumbled upon that Clams Casino song before. Very good, in my opinion. The feeling it gives me is sort of indescribable though. It's something akin to tranquility.
I listen to a lot of music that sound like they could be standalone "stories", if that makes sense. Some examples:

You can probably already tell after the first seconds what kind of feeling this song is trying to convey. It's fragile, but very powerful.

A favorite of mine that is just... very inspirational. Listening to this is like going on a journey.

This song might be too long for some people to bear, but it's so good. It's slowpaced in the beginning, but you can hear all the different kinds of emotions unveiling as time goes on. It's a beautiful piece, in my opinion.
Some more songs that I will just put up in link form:
audio safari - "transpose to october sun"
aus - "lovers"
Lullatone - "Slow Waltz"
Homestuck - "Moonsetter" (I don't know anything about the Homestuck game, but I find some of their music very enchanting)
All these songs make me think about life and all the joys and burdens it brings. I also tend to listen to a lot of "tiptoeing around glass" songs. Things that people would normally not want to listen to because of the eerie atmosphere and negative feelings they invoke, but... I dunno, I like them in my opinion. It's like taking a sneakpeek into the soul of the artist. Like sharing a secret.
I don't usually listen to songs with vocals/lyrics. At least the ones where I can understand the words. Mmm, I don't know why though. I just don't. It kind of breaks up my thinking, if that makes any sense.
