resonates
Rings emotionally true
Resonates describes something that produces a deep, continuing effect.
Sound resonates when it reverberates or amplifies through a space: His voice resonated through the hall.
More commonly now, something resonates when it strikes a meaningful chord: Her story really resonated with me.
Ideas, messages, or experiences resonate when they feel personally significant or emotionally true to an audience.
