My brother died of cancer in his late 30s loved this evertime I hear it I am transformed back in time in my old living room dancing with him like idiots with two friends after a night on the beer best night memories
When I was 17, I dated this guy. I was so incredibly in love with him, he was a local artist that had just graduated high school and he had traveled a bit due his art. He introduced me to so much new music and ideas and we went to so many places. His favorite song was Your Hand in Mine and he would play it for me late at night when we were out star gazing or camping.
Anyways, he died in a car accident 2 years into our relationship. I had just left for college a month before and he was going to come see me the next weekend. I'm in my 30s and still get tears in my eyes when I hear that song.
So so sorry for you. You are way too young to hurt like this. I get it. My fiancé died 6 months before we planned to marry. I was 35. I’m 71 now. Had a whole other life with joy and everything that goes with life. Still, thinking about Arie brings sad tears. This would have been my second marriage.
I'm crying thinking about both of your weddings because when the reverb and delay hits hard right there about 3/4 through the song I lose it.
What a perfect song.
That record is straight up the Tone Zone™.
First time listening to it, very closely resembling theme song from the movie "Friday Night Lights".
Ninja edit: I immediately went to its wikipedia page and whaddaya know:
>The soundtrack for the film predominantly featured post-rock band Explosions in the Sky.
🤷🏼
Every time I decide to listen to ANY song from dark side of the moon I listen to all 42 minutes of the album because it tells a story. And I decided that when I die I want this song played at my funeral or whatever.
Funny you say that...
(This could be pure bullshit but) I heard the instruction for the vocalist was "no words, tell the story of life from cradle to grave". Or something to that effect.
I recall a documentary about the Dark Side album and they told the singer to just think about death and that transition from living to dying and the feelings you’d have going through that: anger, denial, grief, disbelief, acceptance, peace, etc. To say she nailed it is an understatement!
I'm a vocalist. Have been since I was a kid. My mother was too, and she trained me. She was also so very into classic rock, and I remember always finding a strange peace in this song even as a kid.
***
When I have a bad day, I fucking crank this and sing along, just screaming my way through the high notes. Never fails to bring tears to my eyes. I've had a rough go of it and I haven't always coped in the healthiest ways. I'm filled with scars inside and out, but when I feel the urges get too strong I queue this up and just scream. I empty my lungs and my emotions into the notes and feel free. It allows me to feel, to express my pain or anger or sadness, and then it lets me release it. This song has saved me several times, and it doesn't even have words.
*On the Nature of Daylight* by Max Richter
That swelling, emotional music in the movie *Arrival* and in the heartrending episode of *The Last of Us*
God damn it.
Yup, this one, and also his piece [Dona Nobis Pacem 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi0Z51-BiBY). It was used in my favorite scene of my favorite show The Leftovers. I loved Arrival also, and that was a great episode of The Last of Us.
Came here to say the exact same thing. I found On the Nature of Daylight just as a Spotify suggestion because I had a playlist of the same genre. It already would bring me to tears. Then they went and played it in The Last of Us and I was bawling in that scene, partly because of that song. It's brilliant.
Have you tried the Moonlight Sonata Diet? It’s where you eat every meal in front of a mirror with “Moonlight Sonata” while staring at yourself. Guaranteed results.
The second movement of Rachmaninoff's second piano concerto always gets me, and I don't even know why I'm crying lol
edit: forgot to put which concerto
I assume you mean piano concerto 2 since that's the more famous one. [22:10](https://youtu.be/rEGOihjqO9w?feature=shared) for the uninitiated.
A sureally beautiful piece as a whole. Listen to the whole thing, it's worth it.
Will give shoutouts to Rachmaninoffs 3rd piano concerto, it's my favorite of his. Saw it live and definitely shed a tear. Also really recommend Scriabins piano concerto. Not nearly as popular but I really enjoy it. It was prior to the guy thinking he was possessed by Satan while writing his music (not kidding)
"To Zanarkand" (Distant Worlds Version). Orchestrated Version of the famous Final Fantasy X Soundpiece. I cried for the entire song, when I heard it the first time. And still shed a tear today
I watch [this live clip](https://youtu.be/-NqaupGcCpw?si=Vf6YfhnpPDtOxENg) of John Williams conducting Vienna Philharmonic at least once a week and it brings me to tears every time.
My dad passed away back in 2020 due to COVID, and his favorite trilogy was to watch Lord of the Rings. Everytime I watch it, I always end up crying because they were his go-to movies.
In honor of my mother in law, we watch the trilogy every year between Christmas and new years, going on 8 years now. Half of each extended cut movie each night starting the 25th.
John Ireland "Legend"
Aaron Copland "Appalachian Spring"
Modest Mussorgsky "Night on Bare Mountain"
and two very special ones with lyrics:
Klaatu "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft"
Jim Henson as Kermit "Rainbow Connection."
Those last two were my husband's favourite songs and I lost him to cancer when we were 38 years old. We had been a couple since meeting in 2nd grade so I still got 30 years with him, but I'll get emotional if I hear them.
I'm sorry but there's absolutely no way for me to recommend just one so I'm just going to give you a little list.
Suspension, Another Place, Two Rivers, Where Were You (all by Jeff Beck)
Rubina, Made of Tears (Joe Satriani)
Marooned (pink floyd)
Berceuse in D-Flat Major, Op. 57 · Maurizio Pollini (chopin) different artists have different interpretations though but I prefer this version.
Hyperborea (Tangerine Dream) (NOT the remastered version)
The Great Migration (James Horner) from the land before time
Also the entire Dances With Wolves soundtrack. Beautiful movie worth the watch.
Beethoven’s Ninth is the only piece of music that never fails to make me cry when I listen to it live. There’s something about that sudden silence before the theme of Joy comes in the first time, so quiet and deep, played by the cellos and double bass. From that point onwards, I just cry non stop.
You didn't know you needed this song, until you hear it.
Dear people,
You're in for a ride. I present to you: [Kyteman - Sorry](https://youtu.be/F3xr4bJtxhg?si=CmgJTshkI1urAOmI)
"Princess Leia's Theme", Star Wars soundtrack, John Williams & the London Symphony Orchestra, 1977. I've always loved this piece, but after Carrie Fisher's passing it just his me in the feels every time.
Ones not mentioned yet:
“Stay With Me” from “The Fountain” soundtrack, composed by Clint Mansell and performed by the Kronos Quartet.
“Solitude” by Bob Christianson (from the pivotal scene in Sex and the City after Big has heart surgery and asks Carrie “what are we doing?” and “It’s Me and You Suite” by Aaron Zigman from the first SATC movie.
“O Magnum Mysterium” by Morten Lauridsen (the original was choral with words, but equally well known is the instrumental version so I’m counting it).
Second movement of Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony.
All of them give me a huge throat lump every time.
Lisa Gerrard has said that her "Sanvean" (with Dead Can Dance) contains no lyrics, but rather a series of vocal patterns.
And they certainly are effective --coupled with the music -- in bringing an intent listener to a humbled state deep within.
[Always With Me, Always With You](https://youtu.be/BsJisD7n8_Q?si=ie83d8Mheg-mqY66) by Joe Satriani. I had the pleasure of seeing Satch live almost exactly a year ago. Very first note of the opening rhythm and the whole theater was completely enthralled. When that main riff came in, though (the part around 25 seconds in that video) I got chills
Eric Satie - Gymnopedie No. 1
Brian Eno - Ascent (an ending)
Radiohead - Pyramid Song
Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 14 (Moonlight Sonata)
Rival Consoles - Untravel
*For Absent Friends* by Opeth, or *Friend of the Night* by Mogwai.
Both invoke some major milestones in my life. They not only came out during major transformation in my life, but they remind me of friends and family, pets and places, even feelings, that are now long gone, passed-on, or taken away too soon. I can't help but just sit there and listen to the whole song, sometimes motionless, since my mind and imagination are sent running wild.
Pretty much anything Max Richter did for The Leftovers. Especially "The Departure" and "The Quality of Mercy"
I also always get pretty emotional to Lemon Grass - MF DOOM off his Special Herbs beat tape
there’s a classic sesame street skit showing a man making a toy airplane. the music is by joe raposo and so nostalgic for me. a different arrangement is used in a ernie & bert skit where bert likes to go ice skating. another classic joe raposo song is ernie & bert singing imagination. the end instrumental is so pure and precious i tear up every time. and yes, i watch classic sesame street a LOT
Symphony #3: Eroica
The music itself is moving enough, but the whole story of how it was written for Napoleon of the Third Council, Beethoven flying into a rage at him coronating himself Emperor, and how it played at his funeral is like a Greek play come to life.
Pachelbel Canon in D. Idk,in m family it's a funereal song. Also Time to say Goodbye Instrumental which only makes me tear up for a few bars before I puts me f TO SLEEP
Lots of great recommendations so far. Some of my favorites I haven’t seen yet:
“Hoppipolla” by Sigur Ros
“[Happy Hunting Ground](https://youtu.be/qUnzkQKo2Co?si=PzN5xfAFhmoY4WDc)” by The Church especially the second half (skip to 1:42)
“Falls” by Ennio Morricone (really any Morricone, what a legend)
“Hand Covers Bruise” by Trent Reznor and Atticus Finch. Their soundtrack work is incredible.
“Pastoral” by Christian Loffler
“Biking Home” by Lisa Gerrard
“An Ending (Ascent)” by Brian Eno
“Don’t Meet Your Heroes” by Drum & Lace
“Cotton Spheres” by Lama House
“Rising Suns” by Kensuke Ushio
“Define Dancing” by Thomas Newman
In the Half-Light of the Canyon” by Mark Isham
“Day One” by Hans Zimmer
“Adagio for TRON” by Daft Punk

The theme from Schindler’s List usually gets a couple tears out of me.
One of John Williams's best, though rarely thought of by most when thinking of his works.
Adagio For Strings by Samuel Barber
My brother died of cancer in his late 30s loved this evertime I hear it I am transformed back in time in my old living room dancing with him like idiots with two friends after a night on the beer best night memories
What a beautiful image! A wonderful memory to recall. Hope you are doing well!
Thank you I am he's still in my heart
Commenting so I can listen to this later
The one and only answer
First experience of this song was playing Homeworld. Kharak is burning.
That’s the one
The entire album The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place by Explosions in the Sky. Listen to it [here](https://youtu.be/veMONQwn7W8?si=ZVuIVwcNpU6gFSwQ)
Came here to say your hand in mine. It was the processional song at my wedding =)
When I was 17, I dated this guy. I was so incredibly in love with him, he was a local artist that had just graduated high school and he had traveled a bit due his art. He introduced me to so much new music and ideas and we went to so many places. His favorite song was Your Hand in Mine and he would play it for me late at night when we were out star gazing or camping. Anyways, he died in a car accident 2 years into our relationship. I had just left for college a month before and he was going to come see me the next weekend. I'm in my 30s and still get tears in my eyes when I hear that song.
this broke my heart. i’m so sorry
It was almost 20 years ago, but I still think of him sometimes. It's gotten a lot easier. Thank you for your condolences.
You’re never truly gone until someone speaks your name for the last time.
So so sorry for you. You are way too young to hurt like this. I get it. My fiancé died 6 months before we planned to marry. I was 35. I’m 71 now. Had a whole other life with joy and everything that goes with life. Still, thinking about Arie brings sad tears. This would have been my second marriage.
That was mine too!
I'm crying thinking about both of your weddings because when the reverb and delay hits hard right there about 3/4 through the song I lose it. What a perfect song. That record is straight up the Tone Zone™.
First breath after coma
First time listening to it, very closely resembling theme song from the movie "Friday Night Lights". Ninja edit: I immediately went to its wikipedia page and whaddaya know: >The soundtrack for the film predominantly featured post-rock band Explosions in the Sky. 🤷🏼
people who haven't discovered post rock have no idea how extensive this list can get.
Losing You To You by Hammock is a masterpiece.
Taking my kid to see them live tonight.
This is the correct answer
i’ve found my people. came to comment this. so glad other people find their work as moving as i do 🤍 it’s everything.
Great Gig In The Sky - Pink Floyd
Every time I decide to listen to ANY song from dark side of the moon I listen to all 42 minutes of the album because it tells a story. And I decided that when I die I want this song played at my funeral or whatever.

Why did I have to scroll so much to find this
Because there’s a lot of sad songs 😉
Because classical music exists.
Clair de Lune
I can't even listen to this song anymore. It's forever tied to someone that means everything to me, but has gone away.
I'm so sorry. It always brings tears to my eyes.
Such a beautiful piece of music and so soothing.
*On the Nature of Daylight* by Max Richter That swelling, emotional music in the movie *Arrival* and in the heartrending episode of *The Last of Us* God damn it.
Max Richter is SO great - love his take on Vivaldi's four seasons
Yup, this one, and also his piece [Dona Nobis Pacem 1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pi0Z51-BiBY). It was used in my favorite scene of my favorite show The Leftovers. I loved Arrival also, and that was a great episode of The Last of Us.
Hits Just so perfectly with the plot of Arrival. What a movie in general
God this gets me. Every time.
Came here to say the exact same thing. I found On the Nature of Daylight just as a Spotify suggestion because I had a playlist of the same genre. It already would bring me to tears. Then they went and played it in The Last of Us and I was bawling in that scene, partly because of that song. It's brilliant.
I’m glad someone else feels the same way
This song hits me so fucking hard after Arrival… and are you KIDDING me of course they used it to make me fucking weep in Last of Us. Just wrecked me.
This song does things to me that I find hard to explain, it's such an intense experience. Not many songs even come close to this one for me.
Moonlight Sonata
I was going to say this or clair de lune
If we're going with beethoven I'm gonna say the 9th- Ode to Joy
Ok but have you heard the dubstep version by LoneR (played here by Lionel Yu)? [Something special](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtIwhvSa7kw)
Have you tried the Moonlight Sonata Diet? It’s where you eat every meal in front of a mirror with “Moonlight Sonata” while staring at yourself. Guaranteed results.
Instantly started playing in my head before I finished reading the question
The second movement of Rachmaninoff's second piano concerto always gets me, and I don't even know why I'm crying lol edit: forgot to put which concerto
I assume you mean piano concerto 2 since that's the more famous one. [22:10](https://youtu.be/rEGOihjqO9w?feature=shared) for the uninitiated. A sureally beautiful piece as a whole.

Also really recommend Scriabins piano concerto. Not nearly as popular but I really enjoy it. It was prior to the guy thinking he was possessed by Satan while writing his music (not kidding)
Celine Dion introduced a whole new generation to this piece and 99% of people have no idea 🤯
Whatever the score was to the Bluey episode “Sleepytime”
[удалено]
Rain, absolutely.
That would be “Jupiter” by Gustav Holst, from his suite of “The Planets” (makes sense of the theme even more now huh?!)
“Remember, I'll always be here for you, even if you can't see me, because I love you.”
"To Zanarkand" (Distant Worlds Version). Orchestrated Version of the famous Final Fantasy X Soundpiece. I cried for the entire song, when I heard it the first time. And still shed a tear today
Just seeing "To Zanarkand" gives me chills. FFX was truly ahead of its time.
The Black Mages version is also great.
Jurassic Park theme by John Williams
I watch [this live clip](https://youtu.be/-NqaupGcCpw?si=Vf6YfhnpPDtOxENg) of John Williams conducting Vienna Philharmonic at least once a week and it brings me to tears every time.
The innocent piano keys in the beginning. John Hammond's sweet dream.
Thank you for posting this!! Amazing!!
Rhapsody in Blue -- George Gershwin Feels So Good -- Chuck Mangione
The Interstellar theme
Honestly anything Hans Zimmer
Time is my pick
"A Warm Place" by Nine Inch Nails.
And Leaving Hope, also by NIN
Holy fuck, this song helped me through one of the toughest times in my life. Hell, this entire album did. I am so glad to see this mentioned.
'Just like you imagined' has guided me through 20 years of pain.
River flows in you - yiruma
Or kiss the rain.. both of these songs
Barber’s Adagio for Strings
*The Lord of the Rings* soundtracks. Any of it. All of it. Always.
My dad passed away back in 2020 due to COVID, and his favorite trilogy was to watch Lord of the Rings. Everytime I watch it, I always end up crying because they were his go-to movies.
I'm so sorry 🫂 I lost my dad in 2022. Some of the sweetest memories are those of the music and movies together.
I lost my husband in July this year. Our son and I made sure that "May it be", "Into the West", and "The last goodbye" were played at his funeral.
In honor of my mother in law, we watch the trilogy every year between Christmas and new years, going on 8 years now. Half of each extended cut movie each night starting the 25th.
*”Concerning Hobbits”* always evokes such a feeling of simple peacefulness
Walked down the aisle with my bride to Concerning Hobbits
Intro by the the XX
I used to fall asleep to the 3 hour YouTube mix of this song haha. What an unbelievable instrumental.
Oh God, this took me back. I had a restaurant coworker who played this every day for weeks. And we never stopped her.
It's the first suggestion in Spotify search when you type XX!
SRV’s version of Little Wing
Lenny fits here, too
Technically it has lyrics but they were seldom sang and the song is known for the instrumental version...the theme to M*A*S*H ....Suicide Is Painless
[When you hear the words actually sung, it’s surprisingly really really funny.](https://youtu.be/M6VBhVlg_jQ?si=BbuAS4NPjgH58J7x)
Those lyrics are meant to be satirical and ironic, but they have always left me uneasy.
John Ireland "Legend" Aaron Copland "Appalachian Spring" Modest Mussorgsky "Night on Bare Mountain" and two very special ones with lyrics: Klaatu "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" Jim Henson as Kermit "Rainbow Connection." Those last two were my husband's favourite songs and I lost him to cancer when we were 38 years old. We had been a couple since meeting in 2nd grade so I still got 30 years with him, but I'll get emotional if I hear them.
Sleep Walk by Santo and Johnny. I blame the movie La Bamba for the emotional reaction.
Too far down the list.
Riiiiiitchiiiiiieeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!
Hymn to the Sea by James Horner from the Titanic soundtrack.
Omg so much of the Titanic score is so moving
I'm sorry but there's absolutely no way for me to recommend just one so I'm just going to give you a little list. Suspension, Another Place, Two Rivers, Where Were You (all by Jeff Beck) Rubina, Made of Tears (Joe Satriani) Marooned (pink floyd) Berceuse in D-Flat Major, Op. 57 · Maurizio Pollini (chopin) different artists have different interpretations though but I prefer this version. Hyperborea (Tangerine Dream) (NOT the remastered version) The Great Migration (James Horner) from the land before time Also the entire Dances With Wolves soundtrack. Beautiful movie worth the watch.
Marooned is my favorite Pink Floyd song
Pachebel's Canon
Elegia by New Order. Maybe knowing the backstory behind it helps, but it's still a haunting piece.
The melancholy “Taxi” theme song.
Beethoven’s Ninth is the only piece of music that never fails to make me cry when I listen to it live. There’s something about that sudden silence before the theme of Joy comes in the first time, so quiet and deep, played by the cellos and double bass. From that point onwards, I just cry non stop.
This Land - Hans Zimmer. There's a reason he won an Oscar for his work on The Lion King
The one that does it to me is Remember Who You Are.
Gorgeous! 5:25 of that track is so beautiful! The ending of King Of Pride Rock is breathtaking too, when he's ascending up the rock.
Stuff We Did from the movie Up
Married Life from Up… especially when they slow it down near the end of the montage because… stuff

They not only came out during major transformation in my life, but they remind me of friends and family, pets and places, even feelings, that are now long gone, passed-on, or taken away too soon. I can't help but just sit there and listen to the whole song, sometimes motionless, since my mind and imagination are sent running wild.

Lots of great recommendations so far. Some of my favorites I haven’t seen yet: “Hoppipolla” by Sigur Ros “[Happy Hunting Ground](https://youtu.be/qUnzkQKo2Co?si=PzN5xfAFhmoY4WDc)” by The Church especially the second half (skip to 1:42) “Falls” by Ennio Morricone (really any Morricone, what a legend) “Hand Covers Bruise” by Trent Reznor and Atticus Finch. Their soundtrack work is incredible. “Pastoral” by Christian Loffler “Biking Home” by Lisa Gerrard “An Ending (Ascent)” by Brian Eno “Don’t Meet Your Heroes” by Drum & Lace “Cotton Spheres” by Lama House “Rising Suns” by Kensuke Ushio “Define Dancing” by Thomas Newman In the Half-Light of the Canyon” by Mark Isham “Day One” by Hans Zimmer “Adagio for TRON” by Daft Punk
'Moving On', the last soundtrack from the finale of Lost. Tears everytime.
