Resonate/Resonance

Hi There,
Would please tell me which one of the following don't make sense which ones are good and which not common? (I want to convey that I agree with a message or with a speaker) (i've seen all of these had been used on internet)

- What I heard resonated with me
- What I heard resonated for me
- What I heard resonated within me
- What I heard had resonance with me
- What I heard had resonance for me
- What I heard had resonance within me

Then what about present tense should I used these in past tense (as above or in present tense?

- What I heard resonates with me
- What I heard resonates for me
- What I heard resonates within me
- What I heard has resonance with me
- What I heard has resonance for me
- What I heard has resonance within me

Thank you in advance for your help Emotion: smile

"What I heard resonated for me." That does not sound right to me at all. I've never heard anybody use 'for me.' I've heard 'with' and 'within' plenty though. I'd just stick with the 'with' and you'll be gold.

"Wow, that song really resonated with me!"

Thanks Jeremy Emotion: smile
Is it the same with resonance? By the way, is it unusual to use "resonance" at the first place?

Actually, 'resonance' is pretty uncommon. To be honest, I can't think of one situation where 'resonance' would be my word of choice. Obviously, the word exists so it has a use, but it's something that you will probably never use in everyday speech.

I see. Perhaps it is more commonly used in physics. Thanks a lot for your feedback.
