History TearJerker / DaftPunk

--> I need something more. I need something more...

* ''[[Film/DaftPunksElectroma Electroma]]''. Mon Dieu, [[TearJerker/DaftPunksElectroma Electroma]].
** Their short film [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuDX6wNfjqc "Epilogue"]], announcing the duo's break-up, is the ending of ''Electroma'' slightly modified. Thomas and Guy-Manuel are walking in the middle of a desert, but Thomas is walking slower and slower until he stops walking. Guy-Man then turns around and walks up to the sullen Thomas, who proceeds to take off his leather jacket and turn around to reveal a SelfDestructMechanism. Guy-Man activates the minute-long timer, and Thomas walks a safe distance away from Guy-Man. At four seconds remaining, he clenches his fist waiting for the inevitable, and when the timer runs out... ''BOOM.'' Thomas is no more, and Daft Punk is over. We see an image of the duo's hands coming together, forming a triangle around a bright light, and finally we see Guy-Man walking off into the sunset. And the final song they used? "Touch."
--->1993–2021
* It adds to the effect when you realize that "Touch" is the song that featured Music/PaulWilliams, the co-star and music composer of ''Film/{{Phantom of the Paradise}}''--aka, the movie where Daft Punk first met when they were children. Let the tears flow.

* "[[LyricalDissonance Something About Us]]", especially when it plays during ''Anime/{{Interstella 5555}}'' when [[spoiler:Shep dies]].

* Also, "The Game of Love"... in a NarmCharm[[BuffySpeak -y]] way.
* "Emotion" can also be considered one.

* Once you get past the [[AccidentalNightmareFuel possible]] NightmareFuel, "Within" arguably qualifies.
* The video for "The Prime Time of Your Life" manages to be both tragic and [[BodyHorror completely]] [[NightmareFuel horrifying]], most especially when you realize [[WeightWoe what it's all about]].

* Music/PaulWilliams' vocals on "Touch" ''will'' break your heart. Especially the last few lines.
