Nocturne in E-flat Major, Op.9 No.2, Frederic Chopin. Played at the funeral of my deeply beloved. Can’t listen to it to this day with a dry eye.

Holst - Jupiter/I Vow To Thee
Pas De Deux from the Nutcracker Suite
Both just mind blowingly powerful pieces that make me realise for all the bad in the world, what beauty humans are capable of

It's in the Dylan Song based musical "Girl from the North Country" which I saw at the Old Vic in London with my wife and two children. I sat next to my son and it just struck a huge chord in my hopes for him at the time. I can't hear it now without going back to that place and it just wipes me out. But like Bob it doesn't take much.
100% agree with this one. Really resonated with me when my kids were young.
Love this version:

Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead. One of my mothers favourite songs, and unfortunately she passed away from the big C a few years ago.

+1 to Johnny Cash and Radiohead suggestions.
I always well up when I hear the first few notes of Octopussy by The Wedding Present. I have to hide my face and compose myself at gigs. Ridiculous.

Something to Believe - Weyes Blood

Some good choices on here.
I don't know about cry, but always have a wobble with Home Thoughts From Abroad by Clifford T Ward, Stourport's' finest son.
