Line 73:
*** Considering that ''Into the West'' was written in honor of [[wikipedia:Cameron Duncan|a 17-year-old victim of bone cancer]], this one also doubles as a [[Tear Jerker]].
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtvJk1yr4Tk&feature=related "Natsukage"] from the [[Anime]] series [[AIR]].
* [http://www.studio-zel.com/music/Sakura%20Taisen%20[[Atsuki%20Chishioni Chishioni]]%20Teigeki% "Ganbare!! Teikoku Kagekidan!!"], the unapologetically idealistic and heroic battle theme from the ''[[Sakura Wars]]'' video game series.
* Stan Bush's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B90pnnGhkfU The Touch], the uplifting and inspiring theme song of Optimus Prime from ''[[Transformers: The Movie]].''
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H0JDomv8ac "Arrival To Earth"] from the [[Transformers Film Series]].
Line 123:
** "I Loved Her First."
* U2. ''"40"''. That is all.
** The story behind "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own" makes one line and moment poignant -- itpoignant—it's Bono's elegy for his father, who was always a big opera fan. During the line "Can you hear me when I sing/You're the reason the opera's in me," Bono hits this Beyond the Impossible high note -- ohnote—oh, and by the way, his father was a tenor.
** The Sweetest Thing. A completely adorable little song written as an apology to Bono's wife Ali after he missed her birthday while recording The Joshua Tree. Awww.
** The 12-minutes version of Bad in the 1985 Live Aid concert. Why so long, you ask? Halfway through the song, Bono noticed a teenage girl being pinned against the railings, and is in danger of getting crushed. He notified the audience and the security, who pulled her out and into the front of the whole audience, where he hugged the young lady and danced along to the song with her for a while. The way this matches up with the music makes it an incredibly beautifully surreal moment that helped define the concert and powered their rise to superstardom.
Line 189:
** Paul McCartney's version of "Something" on the ukelele.
** And of course, the finale, I'll See You in My Dreams, when the rose petals start to fall.
** If you watch closely, there are a few moments where one musician or another steals a glance at George's son Dhani, who's also playing with them -- andthem—and who looks so much like George it's eerie -- andeerie—and they choke up for a second and have to turn away.
* On a related note: "Here Comes the Sun" never fails to make this troper smile. Little darling, the smile's returning to their faces...
* Yes, even [[They Might Be Giants (band)|They Might Be Giants]] gets a song like this: "Another First Kiss," which is described on their wiki as a cheerful "screw that" to the idea that you need to be young and adolescent to be in love. It's quite possibly the only straight-up love song in their reportoir (as they themselves admit), and it ''still'' more touching than half the [[Silly Love Songs]] out there.
{{quote|You could tell me we belong together,
And I could tell you you belong with me.
Line 237:
But her breathing warm against his mouth. }}
* This troper finds Bebo Norman's "Into the Day" to be the sweetest song she's ever heard. It's very meaningful, both on a general and a personal level.
* "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yJnvv_R2rk&feature=related Beauty and the Beast]" from [[Beauty and the Beast|from the movie of the same title]]. You don't even ''need'' to have seen the movie, man! If this song doesn't make you feel all squishy inside, with [[Angela Lansbury]] singing about [[The Power of Love]] and--welland—well...
* The guitarist [[Buckethead]] recorded an entire album (Colma) of soothing music so his mother had something nice to listen to whilst recovering from colon cancer.
** Made even heartwarming due to Buckethead's normal fare - he's well known for his experimental, weird, and sometimes downright terrifying music, as well as his incredible shredding guitar solos. Hardly soothing. He then completely breaks his style to make a calm, beautiful album for his mom. Aww.
Line 504:
{{quote|He walked away from the castle left in ruins, a path of destruction in his wake. The clouds parted and the warmth of the sun brought the question..."Is this what you were made to do?" He removed his helmet, dropped it into the soft grass. Would this quest ever end?}}
* A fair amount of <s>Cat Stevens</s> Yusuf Islam music counts, but especially "Peace Train" and "Roadsinger".
** "Wild World" has always read to me like a father watching his daughter grow up--bittersweetup—bittersweet and beautiful. ''I'll always remember you like a child, girl.''
* Oh, and we can't forget Jimmy Eat World's "The Middle".
** Or the lesser-known "Work," especially with the video of all the college students getting interviewed.
Line 576:
When your future looks quite bright to me }}
** Another Styx example: "Come Sail Away".
* Van Halen's song ''Dreams''. It's 80s rock, but that final guitar riff after the last chorus -- youchorus—you know which guitar riff I'm talking about -- makesabout—makes my whole body tingle out of sheer awesome every time I hear it.
* Paul Simon's ''The Boy in the Bubble''. ''These are the days of miracle and wonder'' indeed.
** "Father and Daughter" is another example--itexample—it might have been created for a Nickelodeon movie, but ''There could never be a father loved his daughter more than I love you'' is beautiful.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZQEIXn-pko I'll Try] from ''Return to Neverland.'' A song about rediscovering the magic in the world, specifically concluding "The whole world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust." Makes me smile and tear up every time I hear that line.
* Bittersweet by Within Temptation makes this troper cry every time she hears it.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HSTA2ucYuc Stolen] by Dashboard Confessional. The sped-up version is nice, but you absolutely ''need'' to hear the acoustic version for the full effect--theeffect—the violins, the guitar, and most of all Chris Carrabba's gushingly sweet voice are like distilled heartwarming serum. People say that Chris Carrabba changed their perceptions of the ''word'' stolen from negative to positive--ifpositive—if that's not heartwarming, nothing is.
* Most of the songs from the "Panic at the Disco" album "Pretty.Odd" qualify, but "That Green Gentleman" in particular, has never failed to tug at my heartstrings.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2yeNzL7rTU A Better Place, A Better Time] by Streetlight Manifesto. A seven and half minute rally against suicide set to bright, blasting horns. The whole mood of the song is just so upbeat and if the melody doesn't stir the cockles of your heart, then the lyrics will
Line 818:
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvbCV6E0Wro "Perpetuum Mobile" by Penguin Cafe Orchestra], even if it does sound like music for a life insurance commercial. Even more [[WAFF]] when played in the movie "Mary & Max."
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-fyNgHdmLI "My Sacrifice"] by [[Creed]].
* The Spinner's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKbADFJOCkU "Rubberband Man"] is already a very upbeat and fun song, but then you learn that the band's producer wrote it to cheer up his son --whoson—who was picked on by his classmates for being overweight-- andoverweight—and it becomes damn-near impossible to ''not'' to feel good while listening to it.
* "A Little More Homework," from the obscure broadway show "13." A charming song about growing up.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpiYXRt5MyM "A friend is a friend, nothing can change that / Arguments, squabbles can't break the contract"]
