Yes, this to me is the most correct answer. It is entirely dependent on the context of which a given song is heard. As you said, a song can take on an entirely different feeling and emotional response depending on the situation. Though, I have found that there are certain songs that continue to evoke that response even with multiple listens in different situations.

For instance, Blue Thunder by Galaxie 500 almost brings me to tears everytime. Same band, different song, Don't Let Our Youth Go to Waste does the same thing.
