** "Autumn '68", of all songs, is the song that's going to do it for most. Both because it's built around a recording of Rick Wright playing the Royal Albert Hall pipe organ in 1968, and because it's so chillingly nostalgic that it will bring one to tears in seconds.
* "Echoes". Just, Echoes. All 23 minutes of it are so stunningly amazing and beautiful that the tears will flow multiple times, but the entire section from 14:28 to the end are so beautiful that it's hard not to be moved to tears.

* "Don't Leave Me Now" is a combination of NightmareFuel and this. While it's hard to feel too sorry for Pink here, the song itself is just so overwhelmingly pathetic.

* "Hey You" from The Wall. Pink Realized he's made a big mistake going behind his personal wall, yet because "the wall is too high as you can see," he can't break free. He is destined to decay into the neo-Nazi he becomes later, and knowing this is makes it positively heartbreaking.

This troper is extremely manly yet when he saw the show on May 29th, 2012, he bawled his eyes out. The images of war atrocities and people in Africa mixed with the words are just... oh god...

** On the subject of ''Ummagumma'', there's "Careful with That Axe, Eugene". Yes, it is downright scary, but the song ends as quietly as it begun, which could either be Eugene or the witnesses having a mental breakdown realizing what he's done...or ''everyone'' on the scene is dead by the end of the song.

** On that note, the show in London in May 2011 on the current The Wall tour, when Roger was joined onstage by Nick Mason and David Gilmour, to perform ''Outside the Wall''. Waters adressed the audience and told them that back then, they didn't get along and Waters was a miserable old sod, "but all that's changed!" And just to see them all happy together and hugging each other like close brothers is just heartbreakingly beautiful.
