** ''Surely'' "Vale Decem" belongs here as well? The lyrics (which, granted, have fairly loose translations, but the ones I've seen are heartbreaking by themselves) are bad enough, but combined with the [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS4E17E18TheEndOfTime circumstances]], it all adds up to one of the series' most tearjerking moments and this troper having something ''particularly'' [[SandInMyEyes irritating in his eye.]]

** Say what you will about ''{{Titanic}}'', and it's overplayed LoveTheme, but you can't deny the soundtrack itself is quite beautiful and yes, a Tear Jerker at times. Most notably tracks such as "Hymn to the Sea" and "A Rising Panic", as well as any point where the human voice (that most versatile of instruments) enters the haunting, wordless chorus. Most particularly, the end of the film (which gave this troper happy tears due to seeing Rose reunited with all those who had died).
** Something about James Horner's "Casper's Lullaby" from the Casper movie gets me everytime I hear it. Just a nice little song and when you remember that the whole premise of Casper is the fact that this is a young boy who is stuck living as a ghost it adds an even deeper layer of sadness.

**([[Tropers/ElegantVamp This troper]] is [[{{Understatement}} very happy]] to see that more people know of this wonderful show!) [[spoiler: Near the end of the show, during act 2, Matt re-appears, battered and bruised, singing a {{Dark Reprise}} of "I Can See It" except while El Gallo tells Luisa of the world's grandness, he sings about what the world is really like to the audience, after being beaten by Mortimer and Henry earlier in the show, during "Round and Round" as a metaphor for the world hurting him. It's really awful considering how excited he was to go out and see the world on his own, earlier in the show. Luisa then returns to the stage, after leaving to pack her things, and sees that El Gallo has left her, and begins to cry, while Matt goes over to comfort her. El Gallo then appears behind the central action, and recites a poem about how he had to hurt Matt and Luisa to make them realize what love is, and how he hurt himself in the process, and the two realize that everything they wanted was each other. Matt and Luisa then sing a reprise of "Metaphor", with a deeper understanding of life. The Fathers then return and are about to tear down the wall, when El Gallo reminds them that the Wall must stay, as a way of telling them just to leave things as they are.]]
