History Heartwarming / MUsic

* "Don't Come The Cowboy With Me, Sonny Jim", by Kirsty [=MacColl=]. It starts off with the singer's [[TheSnarkKnight cynical]], [[{{Kuudere}} jaded]] lament about the way guys have [[StoicWoobie used her]] and [[BrokenBird treated her like dirt]]. The heartwarming part comes as we find out she's addressing the latest man in her life - and finding [[DefrostingIceQueen she can finally let her feelings show]] when she realises she's not the only one trying to hide them.

* Heartwarming/{{Blackpink}}

* The song Boys (Lesson One) by Jars of Clay. It's father to child. YouAreNotAlone, '''''ever'''''. "If you have questions, we can talk through the night... You can run, you can hide, this will still be your home... not to undermine the consequences, but you are not what you do...And when you need it most, I have a hundred reasons why I love you."

* "TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside." We've heard it so often that the message is usually taken for granted, but [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped it bears repeating as often as possible]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNqQUojBg84 "More Beautiful You" by Jonny Diaz]] does it in a very heartwarming way. The song is from a Christian perspective, but no matter what you believe in, Diaz's message holds up just fine: You might not be happy with yourself or maybe you feel the need to be "perfect", but you ''are'' loved, just the way you are, [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre and you are deserving of that love]].

* Heartwarmin/TheDecemberists

* Wot, no Family? Ok, their not the first band you think of when you think of heartwarming, but just let me put down the first verse to "Children" -
--> Children can you laugh me
--> All your young life's meaning
==> Playing as you do,I feel that the truth
--> It's in you.
Sweet, isn't it?
* Oh. My. God. Minnie Riperton's "Les Fleur" is just pure heartwarming fuel! Why hasn't it been on here before? The choral "woosh" is worth it alone, never mind the human beings as beautiful flowers angle. Warning, though. It's the sort of heartwarming ''that makes you cry''.

* From Gustav Holtz' "The Planets": Most of "Saturn: The Bringer of Old Age" is dissonant and fearful, representing the fear of growing old and dying. The climax of the piece could very well represent the moment of death. then it dies down, as if the departed has resigned themselves to [[TheNothingAfterDeath fading]] [[CessationOfExistence away]], but then a peaceful tune comes in and swells, as if the departed sees the [[FluffyCloudHeaven light]] at the end of the tunnel and enters it.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrK5u5W8afc "Unchained Melody"]] by the Righteous Brothers

** 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.

* Most Film/JamesBond themes tend to be more spectacular than moving, but Carly Simon's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAzshaFZOgo "Nobody Does it Better"]] from ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'' is guaranteed to give you a [[{{WAFF}} warm and fuzzy feeling]] inside.

*** Not to take anything from Coldplay's version, but Straight No Chaser (an acapella group) does a cover of "Fix You", and it's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjXzCREhgrA just as haunting and powerful as the original.]]

* "Return to Innocence" by Enigma, especially the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk_sAHh9s08 music video]], is [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome ridiculously]] [[TearJerker uplifting.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYbWq2x9aW8 ''What Happiness Means To Me'']] by Amy Macdonald. It starts as a pretty heartwarming, somewhat [[TearJerker tear jerking]] piano song... [[MoodWhiplash and then]] turns into total CrowningMusicOfAwesome.

* Anything From the Prog rock band Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains can be [[CrowningMusicofAwesome totally Kick Ass]], But The Instrumental "Elephant Ghost" is just jazzy and relaxing enough.

* Music/BlindGuardian's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zklqr1xj32Q "The Bard's Song (In the Forest)"]] is the CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming live - [[AudienceParticipationSong everyone]] singing about how they'll go their separate ways the next day, but "the bard's songs will remain." Even the random ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' reference is sort of perfect, given how geeky the band and most of their fans are.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rq9Vpu9tdU St. Stephen's Cross]] by Vienna Teng builds its way to a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

* "Until I Met You'' by TheSunstreak is this and a CrowningMusicOfAwesome combined.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAYTYVn-elk "Sweet Baby James"-James Taylor]] particularly the performance w/ Yo-Yo Ma during the 2003 Grammys. Even more CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming when you remember that he wrote this song as a lullaby for his newborn nephew (at the time).
* "Mais Que Nada" was covered by Music/TheBlackEyedPeas, and like all covers you can argue whether the original was better or not. But then there's the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhHEu3A6cjI music video]], which begins with a young Sergio Mendes in an airy room, at his piano, playing the quiet and subtle intro bars. The rhythm then kicks in, and we're shown a vibrant Samba party, with the Black Eyed Peas singing and playing on stage and Mendes playing the piano and singing throughout the rest of the video. The CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming itself comes at the very end of the video - we're back to Mendes in the white airy room (with palm trees and a beach in the background) as he's reading a newspaper with the headline "Mas Que Nada: Timeless!". He gets up, satisfied, takes his straw fedora, and walks off screen. "Homage Homage Homage", indeed!

* Sergei Rachmaninov's 3rd piano Concerto, third movement "Finale Ala Breve", possibly the most uplifting peice of music ever composed, especially after the second movement.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TxzOYjLzuQ Something To Be]] [[SoProudOfYou Proud Of]] diserves a mention.
* Take That's ''Rule the World'' - especially since it's inspired by the movie ''Stardust'', also a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming on its own.

** Beyond that, ''Goodbye Apathy'' is a perfect mix of CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming and TearJerker.

** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2OmNwx61Lc They live in you]]/They live in me/They're watching over/Everything we see..." As if its meaning wasn't enough, it's [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome such a gloriously beautiful song]] one can't help feeling themselves swell just hearing it.

* The ''huge'' outpouring of eulogies and tributes in the metal community after the death of Music/RonnieJamesDio certainly qualifies. Notable metal musicians who gave eulogies include [[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/images/btn_view_story_comments.gif Kerry King]], [[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140241 Steve Vai]], [[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140222 Joey Belladonna]], [[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140298 Geezer Butler]], [[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140157 David Ellefson]], [[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140218 King Diamond]], [[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140177 Iron Maiden]], [[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140150 Judas Priest]], [[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140147 Mike Portnoy]],[[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140155 Ritchie Blackmore]],[[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140189 Brian May]], and even arch-rival [[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140234 Ozzy Osbourne]]. [[http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=140248 Lemmy's tribute to Dio]] includes a picture that qualifies as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming all by itself.

* Robert Burns's iconic song, "Is There For Honest Poverty", popularly known as "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSoxa8XpJ84 A Man's A Man]]". Written in an age of opression and poverty, it asserts the fundamental equality and, more importantly, ''humanity'' of all people. Not only is every "belted knight" ultimately no more than human, every impoverised peasant, worker and slave is no ''less''. Also a CrowningMomentOfAwesome, given how unreservedely the song flew in the political and social estbalishment of the day, and an anvil which certainly [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped needed to be dropped]].

* Within a song, the CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming of "Bed Of Rose's" is the line that states that the titular Rose, a HookerWithAHeartOfGold, died knowing at least one person truly loved her: the boy she took in and made a man.

* The band ''Flёur'' from Ukraine has about 60% songs made out of this trope.[[note]]Other 40% are either [[TearJerker tearjerkers]] or [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome crowners.]][[/note]] They credited the term "cardiowave", after all.

** How about Surfer Girl? Don't Worry Baby? God Only Knows? ''In My Room?''

* The playing of ''Land of Hope and Glory'' on the Last Night of The Proms, specifically when they do a crowd shot and you see people happily waving flags from dozens of different countries.
* "She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5. ''I don't mind standing every day/out on your corner in the pouring rain/look for the girl with the broken smile/ask her if she wants to stay a while"'' Awww.

* Oddly enough, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=668Zznv5ntE "Morgenstern"]] by Music/{{Rammstein}}. Yes, it's German industrial rock. Yes, Till Lindemann sounds like he's on a diet of cigarettes and gravel. Yes, the lyrics can be loosely summarised as "you're so ugly." But then he reaches the last lines...

** No mentions of Seemann? That song just ''moves something inside''.
** And ''"Ohne Dich"'' and Till and Texas' Sharleen Spiteri's duet on ''"Stirb Nicht Vor Mir (Don't Die Before I Do)"''

** Or by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt-IBJpEMzA&feature=related Ruthie Crenshall]] in the Tenth Anniversary concert. The way her voice cracks at "...''but he was gone'' when Autumn came!" ...* sniff* ...

* The Cover of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9gAXwYZtfk Take Me Home (Country Roads)]] recorded for the 50th anniversary of the Country Music Awards. It's sung by 30 artists that range from classic country acts like Music/CharliePride, Music/DollyParton, and Music/WillieNelson to modern acts such as Music/RascalFlatts, Music/CarrieUnderwood, and Music/TimMcGraw. It really comes off as a touching tribute to CountryMusic and the people it represents. Also doubles as AwesomeMusic.
