Not the 'brought to tears' type, but the closest perhaps was the song Society when it was played in the movie Into the Wild. I'd read the Jon Krakauer account too which made it more potent.

Loads.

Sound of Silence - Disturbed

Monsters - James Blunt

Hallelujah - Pentatonix.

I urge anyone who's not heard it to listen, with headphones.

No instruments, all done with voice and body.

Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You into the Dark (as heard in the final episode of After Life).

The first time I ever heard it, years ago, it resonated and has done ever since!

'Love of mine

Someday you will die

But I'll be close behind

I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light

Or tunnels, to gates of white

Just our hands clasped so tight

Waiting for the hint of a spark

If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied

Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks

Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule

I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black

And I held my tongue as she told me

"Son, fear is the heart of love, " so I never went back

And if Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied

Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks

Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see

From Bangkok to Calgary

And the soles of your shoes are all worn down

The time for sleep is now

But it's nothing to cry about

'Cause we'll hold each other soon

In the blackest of rooms

And if Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied

Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks

Then I'll follow you into the dark

Then I'll follow you into the dark'

Find The River by R.E.M

A day after losing a good friend on a white water canoeing trip on the West Lyn, this song came on the car radio. After the previous days trauma of rescuing him then trying to revive him, this beautiful song was just too much. I had to pull over and bawled my eyes out. I still can’t listen to it without tearing up.

Romford, Essex

I was told my dad had died; I live in London, he lived in Glasgow. I left home at 4am to travel up to Scotland, just as I merged onto the M6, a song came on the radio and it was the first time I had heard it – it was still dark and I had to pull over and stop the car on the hard shoulder for a couple of minutes because I couldn’t see the road in front of me through my tears:

Carlisle

Loads of times - especially as a performer - its a nightmare trying to deliver a lyric when you connect to it so much everything goes to hell and your voice ends up all over the place. Sometimes the same song…. One in particular a guy wrote for his brother who had terminal cancer and when you realise what sits behind the lyric…. It’s over!!

It affected the group that paddled that day in different ways - about half never got in a kayak again, for me I doubled down on the resuscitation training - in the years that followed, somewhat unexpectedly (just being in the right place at the right time I guess) I’ve actually used those skills - I’ve lost two (massive heart attack / chest trauma so no chance) but got two back who had stopped breathing (recommend chest compressions to the Prodigy- Breathe… With Me, inhale, inhale, you’re the victim )

Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings.

Normally the BBC Proms ends with Pomp & Circumstance but after 9/11 it didn't seem right.

So the Adagio closed the Proms that year. I think the whole of Albert Hall and everyone watching on telly cried...
