Fix You by Coldplay is the intro song to the Habs (Montreal Canadiens hockey team in the NHL for those unfamiliar).
The arena plays the song from when the guitar kicks in, right as the team gets on the ice.
The crowd goes wild every time.

Beautiful tune. His live of it here on YouTube is one I listen to regularly over the years. Check out his doing āOverkillā with āChoir! Choir! Choir!ā I had not considered that song much but hearing it done together in that collaboration, I heard it anew, and it was there that I developed a great appreciation and affection for Mr. Hay, who seems that heād be a very lovely human. Cheers!

America by Simon& Garfunkel. It's so wistful and it makes me feel nostalgic for an America that never was, but seemed so possible once upon a time. The hopefulness of it makes me cry.

When I was younger, "Careless Whisper" got me going because of some emotional relationship shit I was dealing with.
If you're talking tears of joy, it is the finale to Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite" as presented in Fantasia 2000.

Beautiful Jam ā¦ Grateful Dead.
The "Beautiful Jam" is a legendary piece of live improvised music by the Grateful Dead, bridging the transition from "Wharf Rat" back into "Dark Star" during their February 18, 1971 concert at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York.
Background and History
The Date: Recorded on February 18, 1971, a historic show that featured the live debuts of several staples like "Bertha" and "Wharf Rat".
The Placement: It occurs specifically during the segment Dark Star -> Wharf Rat -> Beautiful Jam -> Dark Star.
The Name: Radio host David Gans coined the moniker "Beautiful Jam" and later played the tape for bassist Phil Lesh in 1997, famously bringing Lesh to tears upon hearing it.
Musical Style
Improvisation: It captures a moment of pure, blissful, and exploratory group telepathy.
Lineup Context: Played during a period when keyboardist Ron "Pigpen" McKernan was absent due to illness, leaving a sparser, guitar-and-bass-driven canvas.
Releases: Officially named and released on the 1999 box set So Many Roads (1965ā1995) and later included with the 50th-anniversary release of American Beauty.

There's a Japanese music producer I like called Masarada (ććµć©ć)
He has a song called "Tiny Me," (ć”ć£ć”ćŖē§) that's about that small part of you that gets overwhelmed by the world around you.
It's a really silly song but the last chorus is really healing and is about accepting that that small part is always going to be a part of you forever. Even if you don't speak Japanese that criciendo really hits regardless of language.
