which means literally 'to be resonant', i.e. to have a clear deep ringing sound, has acquired vogue status in the figurative sense 'to find agreement (with)' (typically of an emotional rather than intellectual kind). This meaning originated in the US and is now common in British English, especially in journalism:

Lone travellers should have to pay no more than 50 per cent of the cost for two people on the same holiday. The demand will resonate with the rising number of Britons outside relationships, divorced or living on their own—Independent, 2007.
