Line 8:
*** No mention of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un_-kExsuRk&fmt=18 Aozora]?
* One can get teary-eyed upon listening to ''Hime murasaki'' by Nana Mizuki. It doesn't help it's the ending song for a VERY tragic anime series, ''[[Basilisk]]: Koga Ninpu Chuu''.
* "World of Midnight" from ''[[Black Lagoon]]'' {{spoiler|Sung by Gretel during Hansel's death, played as the ending theme that shows both of them being [[Together in Death]], and finally played again during Balalaika's [[Start of Darkness]] flashback in the Tokyo Yakuza arc.}}
* While the song itself isn't at all melancholic, "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvzCmV3_12c Dango Daikazoku]" can be almost enough to bring some people to tears for ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' (which it's end theme to) -- and the character it's connected to.
** The place where wishes come true is amazing
Line 129:
** John Williams' score for ''[[Born On the Fourth of July]]''.
* "Ashokan Farewell", a 1980s slow waltz, was used to heartbreaking effect in the Ken Burn's documentary ''Civil War'' numerous times, most notably over the infamous Sullivan Ballou letter.
* As mentioned in the [[The Lord of the Rings]] example, Annie Lennox's "Into the West."
** "Into The West" is made even better (worse?) when you see its documentary: While they were writing the song the production company discovered a teenaged filmmaker and were impressed by his skills; unfortunately he was [[Littlest Cancer Patient|dying of cancer]]. He managed to make several short films (or long trailers) before he died, and parts of his funeral are shown (complete with his mates doing a ''haka'' at his graveside).
** How about "The Steward of Gondor"?
Line 136:
** "Evenstar", "Amon Hen", and "The Bridge of Khazad Dum" are three more.
** The Shire's theme. ''Especially'' the snippet of it at the end of "May It Be" by [[Enya]]
* "[http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=0Acq8yG2Fy8 Where Is Your Heart?]", a.k.a. "The Song from ''Moulin Rouge''". It makes a [[
* The "''[[Forrest Gump]]'' Suite".
* According to the "Making Off" special of ''The Princess Diaries 2'', when Julie Andrews agreed to sing a song for the movie, several tattooed, [[Perma-Stubble|Perma Stubbled]], bald-shaven production crew members openly wept at getting to hear her sing in person.
Line 143:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9cCABTE18E "There You'll Be" by Faith Hill]. From ''[[Pearl Harbor]]''.
* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H0JDomv8ac Arrival To Earth]", from the ''[[Transformers Film Series]]''. Something about the incredibly awe-inspiring choir in the background as the Autobots find a new home rarely fails to produce tears in fans.
* Even if you don't like ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', Howard Shore's music manages to be incredibly [[Tear Jerker|tear-inducing]] at times.
* "Gabriel's Oboe" from ''The Mission''. It's an extremely powerful song... especially when you realize that Ennio Morricone took the random on-screen oboe-pantomiming of Jeremy Irons and turned it into such a beautiful piece.
** Someone apparently sung the piece into something called "Nella Fantasia". It basically ''doubles'' the tear-jerking and heartwarming factor.
Line 385:
** Composer Yasunori Mitsuda has reportedly said that he himself was brought to tears upon seeing exactly how the piece was used, particularly in the Dead Sea sequence and the associated nostalgic imagery from ''Chrono Trigger''.
** Speaking of ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'', the closing credits song, "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyemxHCJUNg To Far Away Times"/"Outskirts of Time]" can also do it.
*** Then try [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtmryMmuIVo this version], remixed for piano and voice, done by two of [[
*** Wait, Reuben Kee... [[Player Punch|uh]].
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5F3nbbdlv4 "To Good Friends"]. It's bad enough with its music box melody...but [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_HMLvLB7b0 when used at the climax of someone's marriage proposal], it results in happy tears.
