273----
274[[AC:Other Examples]]
275* "All That You Deserve" by Music/MichaelBolton - "I wanna see you happy, even if it means without me"
276* While most of Music/MarilynManson's body of work comes straight from the heart, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiO-I5kjmIU The Last Day On Earth]] is perhaps one of the most heart-string tugging moments in it, both in it's ConceptAlbum context and out of it.
277* The Finale "Lento/Ala breve" of Sergei Rachmaninov's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rG6aOtwjLRo Piano Concerto #3]] may be the most uplifting piece of music ever composed.
278* From Gustav Holst's "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.
279* "Cryin' For Me" by Toby Keith...
280* Papa Roach's "No Matter What" if you understand the meaning behind it. Jacoby Shaddix wrote it for his wife, they've been together since they were seventeen. It's also for his bandmates, how much they've been through together.
281* In Legend's [[http://youtu.be/05NdlqiLqjc 'At Her Side']]
282-->How would I like to let her know I feel safe
283-->At her side when it rains way too hard
284* "How to Believe" by Music/BridgitMendler. This song is enough to make a person cry tears of joy, because it's one of those songs that gives us hope.
285* "Return to Innocence" by Enigma, especially the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk_sAHh9s08 music video]], is [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic ridiculously]] [[TearJerker uplifting.]]
286* 'Lift U Up' by Gotthard literally saved my life.
287-->All I wanna do is put a smile back there on your face
288-->Just forget about the blues, 'cos we need you here to shake up the place
289* [[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 SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic.
290* Three Doors Down "Citizen Soldier" is this and a good kind of Tearjerker. If all goes to hell, the Guard will have your back. The final line says it best "We'll always be ready, because we will always be there!" And the music video adds another layer onto it with "We are free, because of the brave."
291** "Here Without You": "I'm here without you baby, but you're still on my lonely mind / I think about you, baby, and I dream about you all the time."
292* Music/AnimalCollective's album "Sung Tongs" which covers gentle, warm feelings of being a child, when everything in the world and nature is a miracle to you, when you get to meet beautiful friends, when you feel like you're unstoppable, and that warm and cozy feeling of loving people.
293* Neil Innes' ''"Something To Say"'' is mostly a cynical going-through about how everyone talks without doing anything because of all the different types of media. And then, towards the end...
294-->[[DownerEnding I guess it all comes down to the survival of the strong]]
295-->[[DownerEnding Nothing is all right,]] [[MoodWhiplash but nothing is all wrong]]
296-->[[AnAesop So remember when you're sitting with your newspapers so plain]]
297-->[[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments The best things in life are the things you can't explain.]]
298
299-->And there's something to be said for having something to say
300-->Each modern stipendium or [[{{Pun}} dogma]] has its day
301-->[[BittersweetEnding Bittersweet]], bad [[SoOkayItsAverage or]] [[SugarWiki/SoCoolItsAwesome good]]
302-->[[ItsPopularNowItSucks Overstated]], [[{{Pun}} Understood]]
303-->[[TalkingIsAFreeAction There's something to be said for having something to say.]]
304* Just try and listen to ''the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3WhQB7Hq0Q JCB Song]]'' by ''Nizlopi'' without bawling happy tears and hugging your dad. It's just so sweet and nostalgic a- oh, sorry, I have something in my eye...
305* Anything From the Prog rock band Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains can be [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic totally Kick Ass]], But The Instrumental "Elephant Ghost" is just jazzy and relaxing enough.
306* "Now And Forever" by Music/RichardMarx
307* [[Series/SesameStreet "Sing. Sing a song..."]]
308* "Song for Ten" from the ''Series/DoctorWho'' Soundtrack
309* Chris Rice's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2jKVJ93Dro "Lemonade"]]
310* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0auCDOERZyE "We All Stand Together"]] by Music/PaulMcCartney. [[TearJerker I'll get back to you once my eyes stop leaking...]]
311* [[http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=cHthbtSbGLM The Dragon's Heartbeat]] , by Randy Edelman, from ''Dragon The Bruce Lee Story.'' Brings hope and warmth to the heart like no other musical motiff can, giving one the courage to go out and take on the world.
312* Beyonce's performance of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-W7chEBY5A Halo]] to a young girl with leukemia in Sydney. The piano-only arrangement, Beyonce's in-tune better-than-studio vocals, and "Chelsey I can feel your halo" ''defines'' SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments. Also doubles as TearJerker as evidenced by the audience both in Sydney and around the world.
313* Music/GreenDay's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otXzaqbhZY4 "Good Riddance"]].
314** And "Wake Me Up When September Ends"
315** "Last of the American Girls" could also count as this, saying as, rumor has it (according to Mike Dirnt, at least) that Billie Joe Armstrong wrote it about his wife Adrienne. And, even without considering that, the song is still very sweet in how simply ''amazing'' this guy thinks that this girl is
316* YUI's I Remember You is one on three different levels. The first is as a counterpart to her song Goodbye Days. Both songs are from the points of view of characters of the movie YUI starred in, Taiyou no Uta. I Remember You is written from Fujishiro Koji's perspective. The second level is the lyrics, which are amazing. And the third is the song itself, how longing and plaintive it sounds, and the utter heartwarmingness of the music.
317* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uw0HI8cjiD0 "Concerning Hobbits" by Howard Shore]] from ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings''. Nothing emphasizes what a ''lovely'' place Hobbiton is to grow up and grow old in than this motif.
318** Also, the ending of ''[[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheReturnOfTheKing The Return of the King]]'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgcoBKWTW14 Into the West]]
319*** Considering that "Into the West" was written in honor of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Duncan a 17-year-old victim of bone cancer]], this one also doubles as a TearJerker.
320* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtvJk1yr4Tk&feature=related "Natsukage"]] from the {{Anime}} series ''VisualNovel/{{Air}}''.
321* [[http://www.studio-zel.com/music/Sakura%20Taisen%20~Atsuki%20Chishioni~%20Teigeki% "Ganbare!! Teikoku Kagekidan!!"]], the unapologetically idealistic and heroic battle theme from the ''VideoGame/SakuraWars'' video game series.
322* Stan Bush's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B90pnnGhkfU The Touch]], the uplifting and inspiring theme song of Optimus Prime from ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformersTheMovie.''
323* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H0JDomv8ac "Arrival To Earth"]] from the ''Film/TransformersFilmSeries''.
324** Not to downplay Steve Jablonsky's work, but Music/LinkinPark gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLYiIBCN9ec&feature=relmfu Iridescent]] at the end of ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon''.
325* ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture''
326** From ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'', we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL77w5dri04#t=1m58s "Doc's Theme"]].
327** Likewise, from the [[Film/BackToTheFuture1 first film]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpKmczoIFeY "Earth Angel"]]. It's the sweeping orchestral finale that really makes it great.
328* The song "This Will Be Our Year" is perfect for a quick SugarWiki/{{WAFF}}. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akmdejcd8CM The warmth of your smile / Smile for me, little one / And this will be our year / Took a long time to come.]]
329* Music/{{Kamelot}}'s song Don't You Cry, written by guitarist Thomas Youngblood in memory of his dad, who passed away while Thomas was very young. Just...oh my god.
330-->Don't you cry, or suffer over me
331-->I will be waiting for you
332-->Don't you cry, angels never fade away
333-->I will be watching over you, see you through
334** ''Love You to Death'' of the love you through adversity and painful situations, the music makes it that much better. Soft but with a punch!
335* "True Love Waits", by Music/{{Radiohead}}, is a more bittersweet experience, but so very touching... "I'll drown my beliefs/To have you be in peace/I'll dress like a mess(?)/And wash your swollen feet/True love's/Gonna wait/Don't wait/". It doesn't hurt that Thom is like some kind of disaffected, cynical, scruffy, vision-impaired teddy bear, or something.
336** Also "Worrywort", with features some of the most uplifting lyrics in any Radiohead song: "There's no use dwelling on (x2)/ It's such a beautiful day (x2)/ Find yourself a moment / And go and get some rest". The jolly accompanying synth contributes to it being a rare moment of sunshine in the mostly angsty Radiohead catalogue.
337* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhHkUg-QCwk "Flim"]] by Aphex Twin. And this is the song that directly follows "Come to Daddy, Pappy mix" on the Come to Daddy EP.
338** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBFXJw7n-fU "Avril 14th"]] trumps it. esp when considering some of his more popular, slightly downbeat works...
339* Jonathan Coulton's song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5Gxh6CWJ84 You Ruined Everything]]".
340** Oh my God, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3cDdGKqp8E I'm Your Moon]]". The sweetest, most sniffle-inducing song about cosmic taxonomy ever written.
341** Jonathan Coulton just seems to be good at this in general. Check out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W_wd9Qf0IE "Code Monkey."]] DoggedNiceGuy indeed:
342--->Code Monkey very simple man\
343With big warm fuzzy secret heart:\
344Code Monkey like you!
345** The final verse of "[[http://www.jonathancoulton.com/songdetails/My%20Beige%20Bear My Beige Bear]]."
346** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OARmqz48Mh0&feature=related RE: Your Brains]].
347*** A group of people having fun and singing it along with the artist at a live performance? Nothing can beat that.
348* The song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBg5Nw8YsFc Time We Had]] by the Mother Hips.
349* Glaring Dream by Kinya Kotani is sososo heartwarming, especially when heard in context in ''Gravitation''. You listen to it at the end of every episode and register it detachedly as a good song, and then the last episode you realize what it really is and consider your heart warmed.
350* Vitamin C's "Graduation song".
351* It's impossible to listen to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOIsYA1QDuk&ob=av2e this song]] without tearing up.
352* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4mDIpYHxWY Keep Fishin']] by Weezer. Come on! It's the Muppets! Even Rivers Cuomo is laughing!
353** also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHXe9ln-nj4 The Angel and the One]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4FaSx5ZSwE&feature=related Dreamin']], and ''definitely'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hZo3lQU06U Only in Dreams.]]
354** Who could forget "If You're Wondering If I Want You To (I Want You To)"? That song is pure smiles. "Your mom cooked meatloaf even though I don't eat meat. I dug you so much I took some for the team..."
355* The cover of "Show Must Go On" with Elton John and the surviving members of Queen, a loving tribute to Freddie Mercury.
356* Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle" is a SugarWiki/{{WAFF}}.
357** Also, "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song".
358* Bach's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwWL8Y-qsJg "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring"]]. Whether it's played by a German doctor in a film set at the onset of [=WWII=],or at the end of ''Gran Turismo 4''.
359* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRpgwgVwCVA music video]] for "Everyday" by The Dave Matthew's Band.
360** "Lie in Our Graves" is ''beautiful.'' There's nothing gloomy or depressing about it. It's a song about life in death.
361* "It's Your World Now" by The Eagles. Somehow manages to be heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.
362* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAVev8rVeKE Yesterday]] by Atmosphere definitely qualifies. * cries manly tears*
363* If you have children, sing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdQ1ivqcdmw Everything Possible]] to them every night. You will change the world.
364* "Love Don't Need a Reason" is beautiful anyway, but was particularly poignant when the AIDS crisis was at its peak and the disease was inevitably fatal.
365* The Righteous Brothers' cover of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP63TEzd2ek "Unchained Melody"]].
366* The entire UK video for "All These Things That I've Done" by the Killers is this, devoid of Tear Jerking. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw2vBYBE24Y Here, watch]].
367* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSXLOQPozOc "Midnight Train to Georgia"]] by Gladys Knight and the Pips.
368* "Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman. The three verses are three vignettes of a father dancing with his 'Cinderella' and musing on the inevitability of her growing up and leaving home: 'So I will dance with Cinderella/while she is here in my arms/'Cause I know something the prince never knew... All too soon the clock will strike midnight/And she'll be gone.'
369** This is especially tragic considering the death of his daughter, about whom the song was written.
370** "Heaven is the Place" is also written about said daughter.
371** "Butterfly Kisses". Also a major TearJerker.
372** "I Loved Her First".
373** "With Hope", inspired by the death of the three-year-old daughter of a family friend in a drunk-driving car crash and a mass shooting at his high school alma mater in Kentucky. The original track opens with a recording of the little girl singing "Jesus Loves Me".
374* U2. ''"40"''. That is all.
375** The story behind "Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own" makes one line and moment poignant -- it's Bono's elegy for his father, who was always a big opera fan. During the line "Can you hear me when I sing/You're the reason the opera's in me," Bono hits this Beyond the Impossible high note -- oh, and by the way, his father was a tenor.
376** The Sweetest Thing. A completely adorable little song written as an apology to Bono's wife Ali after he missed her birthday while recording ''The Joshua Tree''. Awww.
377** The 12-minute 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.
378** ''Where the Streets Have No Name'', for all its lyrical beauty, manages to powerfully invoke this trope without a single word with one of the most gorgeously uplifting intros ever written.
379* Dan Fogelberg's "Run for the Roses", a sweet, pretty ballad about the life of a Kentucky Derby racehorse definitely causes SugarWiki/{{WAFF}}: "It's the chance of a lifetime in a lifetime of chance/And it's high time you joined in the dance..."
380** It's sweet and heartwarming until you watch two horses in three years go down in the Triple Crown races (Barbaro in the 2006 Preakness, and Eight Belles in the 2008 Derby), and then you [[TearJerker bawl]] every time you hear it.
381** Speaking of Dan Fogelberg, I [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NmdFgFyhnk met my old lover in the grocery store, the snow was falling Christmas Eve...]]
382** Dan Fogelberg's love songs are very heartwarming, but the most heartwarming would have to be, "Sometimes a Song", dedicated to his wife, now widow, Jean Marie Mayer. She allowed this song to be posthumously released in 2009.
383* 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 [[SugarWiki/{{WAFF}} warm and fuzzy feeling]] inside.
384* The finale of the ''Theatre/LesMiserables'' 10th Anniversary Concert, when the entire cast plus 17 different Valjeans from around the world sing One Day More and go a cappella for the final "One more dawn...one more day...one day more".
385** View it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPpkTgMbhRU here]]. And - yes - that's [[Series/IronChef Chairman Kaga]] playing a Japanese Jean Valjean.
386* "Fix You" by Coldplay, which apparently Chris Martin wrote for his wife when her father died.
387** And the cover from the documentary ''Film/YoungAtHeart2007'' is even better, [[TearJerker especially if you know the story that leads up to it.]]
388** Most of ''Music/VivaLaVidaOrDeathAndAllHisFriends'' is this, but the anthemic ending of "Death And All His Friends" takes the cake.
389*** A word of advice: Don't listen to this song while reading through the Real Life Heartwarming entries. I made the mistake of having the song on repeat, and the lyrics I had once perceived as pessimistic and saying [[DownerEnding "We're all going to die some day"]] turned into the most glorious example of "But this life has so many lovely things within it, why would I ever want to leave?"
390** And "Yellow". Just... Yellow.
391*** Not to take anything from Coldplay's version, but Straight No Chaser (an a cappella 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.]]
392** "Christmas Lights" is a 'Yuletide heartbreak' story: despite losing his love, the protagonist wishes the world "May all your troubles soon be gone".
393* The ''Manga/GalaxyExpress999'' opening song. Apparently it's about traveling to find the blue bird of happiness.
394* Kelly Willis' "Reason to Believe" which I can only assume was written after the birth of her first child.
395* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmL3m2zcoOI "Do you think I would leave you dying, when there's room on my horse for two?"]]
396* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku3H79jnnIc Apocalyptica's Farewell]] feels more like a re-encounter. An amazingly epic, "just floated down from heaven to help again" re-encounter.
397* Music/{{Ayreon}}'s Come Back To Me - especially the The Human Equation album version, Day Seven: Hope, in which Best Friend talks to the coma-struck Me and reminds him of their happiness when they were young. [[spoiler:Especially touching if you remember Me stabbed him in the back.]] If that doesn't make you go 'Awwwww...', you are not human. I mean, don't you wish YOUR best friend was telling you 'Deep down inside I think you know you are free, come back to me' while you were in coma?
398** The "Can you see the fire in their eyes..." part of "Unnatural Selection" in ''01011001''. Sure, the song is about [[spoiler: humans destroying Earth and themselves]] and even that part of the song shows [[spoiler: the Forevers getting too attached to humanity and interfering too much]], but dammit, humans aren't all bastards.
399* "Better Days", by Goo Goo Dolls -- "''I wish everyone was loved tonight/ and someone would stop this endless fight/ 'Cause tonight's the night the world begins again...''"
400** And you can't not mention "Iris" here. ''I've give up forever to touch you/ 'cause I know that you feel me somehow/ You're the closest to Heaven that I'll ever be/ and I don't want to go home right now.''
401** In its own way, "Big Machine". Yes, it's basically a song about unrequited love, but it's still amazing:
402-->I'm torn in pieces\
403I'm blind and waiting\
404For my heart is reeling\
405I'm blind and waiting for you\
406I'm blind and waiting for you\
407And I can't believe it's coming true.
408** John Rzeznik's song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F2UNLRgKy8 Always Know Where You Are]]".
409** Black Balloon in its own strange way; most of the song is depressing and about someone's addictions ripping their life apart, but the end is surprisingly sweet.
410-->I'll go on now\
411And lead you home and\
412I'll become what you became to me
413** Also, their cover of Supertramp's Give A Little Bit.
414* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHPm0hsSNFo "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head"]].
415* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9vrfEoc8_g "Superman Theme"]] The melody is so heartwarming that it doesn't ''need'' any such silly things as lyrics.
416* Jack Johnson's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLppReBGM4w Upside Down]]", which was part of the soundtrack for the ''[[WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge2006 Curious George]]'' movie.
417* "Ghost Of Corporate Future" by Regina Spektor. It's just such a funny, loving, humanistic song. "The world is everlasting, it's coming, and its going..."
418** Her cover of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cl8WJ5w8XUE Real Love]]''.
419** "On The Radio"...
420--->This is how it works, you're young until you're not
421--->You love until you don't, you try until you can't
422--->You laugh until you cry, you cry until you laugh
423--->And everyone must breathe until their dying breath
424*** No, this is how it works
425--->You peer inside yourself
426--->You take the things you like
427--->And try to love the things you took
428
429--->And then you take that love you made
430--->And stick it into some
431--->Someone else's heart
432--->Pumping someone else's blood
433* "Young At Heart", best performed by Frank Sinatra.
434* Music/CatPower's version of "Sea of Love."
435* Pretty much all of the Concert for George would qualify, there are so many lovely moments.
436** Ravi Shankar's beautiful introduction.
437** Paul [=McCartney=]'s version of "Something" on the ukelele.
438** And of course, the finale, I'll See You in My Dreams, when the rose petals start to fall.
439** If you watch closely, there are a few moments where one musician or another steals a glance at George's son Dhani, who's also playing with them -- and who looks so much like George it's eerie -- and they choke up for a second and have to turn away.
440* On a related note: "Here Comes the Sun". Little darling, the smile's returning to their faces...
441* Music/TheyMightBeGiants gets a song like this: "Another First Kiss,".
442-->You could tell me we belong together,
443-->And I could tell you you belong with me.
444-->But we've run out of things to say,
445-->And we'll be happy anyway, so--
446-->How 'bout another first kiss?
447* "Float On" by Ben Lee
448** A different song, but "Float On" by Modest Mouse. Bad things happen, but what the hell! Life keeps going. "And we'll all float on, all right..."
449* "You Are the Moon" by the Hush Sound is a touchingly beautiful song that ''sounds like'' (I'm not sure) someone telling another person that yes, they are imperfect, but they are beautiful anyway and they should see that.
450* David Cook's "Permanent". Doubles as a TearJerker as it was witten about his older brother who had brain cancer and eventually died. The song is about watching his brother suffer. At one point he even says he wanted to take his place so his brother wouldn't have to suffer.
451--->I know he's living in hell every single day.
452--->And so I ask "Oh God, is there some way for me to take his place?"
453--->When they say it's all touch and go
454--->I wish I could make it go away
455* Music/BlindGuardian's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zklqr1xj32Q "The Bard's Song (In the Forest)"]] is the SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming|Moments}} 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.
456* Badly Drawn Boy, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PScUdYTO0UM "Year of the Rat"]]. * sniff*
457** Almost the whole of that man's corpus. Even the songs that are depressing have something fundamentally heartwarming underneath that always just ends up being a crowning moment of humanity.
458* The opening theme for the 2001 anime adaptation of ''Manga/FruitsBasket'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmtkxNT6wsM For Fruits Basket]]. It changes into a TearJerker not only when you remember all the [[TearJerker sad moments in the series]]... but also when you're reminded that [[spoiler: that the singer, Ritsuko Okazaki, passed away of cancer some years ago.]]
459** In that same mold, both the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zer37c3KvY&feature=related OP]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS7JtjMVd0I&feature=related ED]] for ''Anime/PrincessTutu'', also beautiful moving pieces, also has really sad moments during the series, and were [[spoiler:also sung by the tragically late Ritsuko Okazaki.]]
460* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t40WR1OgMk "The Silence"]] by Music/GammaRay is pure, unadulterated essence of heartwarming.
461* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGuDO7FfDWQ Praan]] by Garry Schyman, a song mostly known for its appearance in a "Where The Hell Is Matt?" video. The song alone is gorgeous.
462** And the translation from Bengali is equally beautiful: "I feel my limbs are made glorious by the touch of this world of life. And my pride is from the life-throb of ages dancing in my blood this moment".
463* Yeah, it's '80s pop/rock schmaltz, whatever. Anyone who doesn't like Rod Stewart's ''Forever Young''...
464-->But whatever road you choose\
465I'm right behind you, win or lose
466** ...can eat it.
467** And for that matter, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1sYjDc8i4I Faith of the Heart]].
468* For that matter, Alphaville's ''Forever Young'' is halfway between this and TearJerker. Especially the horn solo at the end.
469** Even more so when played as the Last Dance at your 20th high school reunion, and the song first came out just around the time you graduated.
470* Before My Time, as performed by the inimitable Johnny Cash. Beautiful.
471** Sue and his father's reconciliation from A Boy Named Sue.
472* Something about Music/TheKinks' "Waterloo Sunset"... man.
473* Music/ViennaTeng's "Lullaby for a Stormy Night" is almost sweet enough to be a happy TearJerker
474** "Italian Greyhound", "Anna Rose", "Harbor", and "City Hall". ("Ten years waitin' for this moment of fate when we say the words and sign our names...")
475** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rq9Vpu9tdU St. Stephen's Cross]] by Vienna Teng builds its way to a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}}.
476-->They were there the night the wall was drowned\
477In the surging of that tidal crowd:\
478An old world made new\
479On the same holy ground.\
480She found him standing, looking lost\
481In the shadow of St. Stephen's cross,\
482And he closed his eyes and heard no sound\
483But her breathing warm against his mouth.
484* Bebo Norman's "Into the Day" is very meaningful, both on a general and, to many listeners, on a personal level.
485* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yJnvv_R2rk&feature=related Beauty and the Beast]]" from [[WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast from the movie of the same title]]. You don't even ''need'' to have seen the movie, man! If this song doesn't make you feel all squishy inside, with Creator/AngelaLansbury singing about ThePowerOfLove and--well...
486* The guitarist Music/{{Buckethead}} recorded an entire album (Colma) of soothing music so his mother had something nice to listen to whilst recovering from colon cancer.
487** Made even heartwarming due to Buckethead's normal fare - he's well known for his experimental, weird, and sometimes downright terrifying music, as well as his incredible shredding guitar solos. Hardly soothing. He then completely breaks his style to make a calm, beautiful album for his mom. Aww.
488* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0F_6plYyTM 40 Jewish Children and 40 Arabic Children singing John Lennon's "Imagine."]]
489** Also, John Lennon's 'Beautiful Boy' in and of itself, especially when you know that Lennon was killed when Sean was five.
490--> Goodnight, Sean... see you in the morning.
491* Westlife's version of "You Raise Me Up".
492* I'm Yours, by Jason Mraz. A love song that becomes a love song to all of humanity. And ''everyone'' ALWAYS sings along.
493** And "Song For A Friend", which is a love letter to his [[HeterosexualLifePartners Heterosexual Life Partner]]. Try not to feel awesome about yourself when you listen to it, especially the end.
494** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrqF7yD10Bo Try this version.]]
495* ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} A Whole New World]]''. It's about [[ThePowerOfLove love]]. And freedom. And sex.
496* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-R2rm68wJo&NR=1&feature=fvwp "Coming Home"-The 88]]. By the end of the song, I can't help but sing along.
497** They spent the budget to their music video ''giving out free ice cream and gasoline.'' Doesn't get much more heartwarming than that.
498* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iTX3-cbWnM "You Are the Best Thing"-Ray LaMontagne]]
499* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5TwT69i1lU And I think to myself...what a wonderful world...]]
500* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B49N46I39Y Gustav Holst's "Jupiter, Bringer of Jollity."]] Especially the string soli from 3:07 to 4:55.
501* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Urtiyp-G6jY Redgum's A Walk in the Light Green]], as well as "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda". You don't have to be an Aussie or a vet to get choked up for those guys.
502** How can "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" be described as a [=CMoH=]? It's one of the greatest TearJerker songs there is!
503* "Do You Realize??" by The Music/FlamingLips manages to be both the saddest and happiest song in the world. Although it's a song about the inevitably of death, it's also about facing up to this and enjoying the good times with friends.
504* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADZ6UY0H1KM "Psalm", by Hey Rosetta]] never fails to make my heart clench. "And the air goes into your lungs, and around in your heart and on through your blood."
505* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lE6Htee0sA Making Love Out of Nothing At All]] - it may be a [[SillyLoveSongs Silly Love Song]] but the power in his voice, and the lyrics makes it sound like someone who is so sure and self-reliant realizes there is someone he needs, that he's in love. Aaaw
506* In Count Zero's [[TearJerker Did You Decide Yet,]] a song about a woman trapped in an abusive relationship, at the very end, she gets a chance to free herself from his abuse, and Peter whispers "you make a wrong move, you don't lose/ but if your game is true, you make the right move, and you'll win/ so let the games begin."
507* How it took this long not to mention [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmxT21uFRwM We Are The World]] I do not know. It definitely belongs here, even when you ignore the cause of the all star union.
508* Connie Talbot. Website/YouTube her. Try not to melt, please, you'll make a mess.
509* The Beach Boys "Forever": "If every word I say could make you laugh, I'd talk forever..."
510** How about "Surfer Girl"? "Don't Worry Baby"? "God Only Knows"? ''"In My Room"?''
511* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us-TVg40ExM this cover of "Stand By Me"]] done by street musicians from around the world.
512* 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.
513* "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.
514* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD7HfOX9i64 "So Beautiful" by Darren Hayes.]]
515-->"And if all the world was perfect
516-->I would only ever want to see your scars..."
517* 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 summarized as "this woman is so ugly." But then he reaches the last lines...
518-->"And the star will shine
519-->On this love of mine;
520-->Warms the breast and shakes me
521-->Where life is beating,
522-->To see with the heart
523-->How beautiful she is."
524** "Seemann". That song just ''moves something inside''.
525** And ''"Ohne Dich"'' and Till and Texas' Sharleen Spiteri's duet on ''"Stirb Nicht Vor Mir (Don't Die Before I Do)"''.
526** On a more general note, the reason why the band has maintained [[LongRunnerLineUp the same exact lineup since its formation in 1994]] is because of their [[TrueCompanions close friendship]] and their prioritizing each others' well-being over industry pressure to put out a new album or go on tour, and have even stated that if any of them quit or die, the band will break up permanently. As Richard put it:
527-->"We never give a shit about the people who think we need to get a record out every two years and that's one of the reasons why we're still together with the same lineup. We take care of each other, and if somebody needs to take the time off or do something else, we listen."
528* "I Dreamed a Dream" from ''Theatre/LesMiserables'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY as sung by Susan Boyle, on Britain's Got Talent.]]
529** 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* ...
530** Also from ''Theatre/LesMiserables'', "Who Am I?" Jean Valjean has to choose between remaining the mayor of a town and doing the right thing. Anyone who bothered to note what page this is can guess what he chooses.
531* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QE5WaPqu5Ms "Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '97, wear sunscreen.]] If I could offer you one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen has been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience..."
532* "The Dream of a Normal Death" by Murray Gold, played over a montage of the happy life with Joan [[spoiler:that the Doctor is rejecting in order to stop the Family of Blood]].
533** [[spoiler:Although subverted when used to underscore the montage of characters who died in the Doctor's name in "Journey's End"...]]
534* It's curious just how many of these correspond with tearjerkers.
535* On the Music/BruceSpringsteen album "Live 1975-1985" is an eleven minute live track of one of Springsteen's most famous and beautiful songs, "The River". The first five minutes of the track are Springsteen talking about his difficult relationship with his father as a teenager, including how his father told him at one time that he couldn't wait for the army to get him (Bruce), so they would "Make a man out of you." He then talks about how when he got his draft notice for the Vietnam War, he hid it from his parents and disappeared with his friends for several days before going to take his physical. After failing the physical[[note]]he'd had a concussion in a motorcycle accident when he was 17, plus he filled out the forms in a way that suggested he might be gay; his long hair and his 'attitude' were probably also factors. At this time, some recruitment officials were actually looking for excuses to dismiss draftees; if you leaned against a wall or seemed tired, they would write you out for having 'fainting spells'.[[/note]], Springsteen returned home to find his worried parents waiting for him. When he told his parents where he'd been, and that the army hadn't taken him, his father only replied "That's good." Springsteen then jumps into an incredibly soulful and emotional performance of "The River." DAMN.
536** "Secret Garden" is another beautiful example of the Boss's work.
537** "Terry's Song" is the hidden 12th track on the album "Magic." It was written the day before the memorial service of Terry Magovern, who was a close friend and personal assistant of Bruce Springsteen. Obviously, it doubles as a TearJerker, but the sheer depth of emotion will bring a tear to your eye and make you glad it's there. "[[ThePowerofLove Love is a power greater than death]]/ just like the songs and stories told/ and when she built you, brother/ she broke the mold"
538* "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers will make any listener feel all warm and fuzzy.
539-->And if I grow old/well I know I'm gonna be/I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you/And I would walk 500 miles...
540** ''Especially'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFtdNasPviA Alexander Rybak's cover.]]
541** On the subject of the Proclaimers, the no less catchy[[note]]pretty much every Proclaimers song is after all[[/note]] "Let's Get Married" and "I'm On My Way" also belong here.
542* Utada Hikaru's song ''Final Distance'' can be heartwarming (when translated, the lyrics are basically about coming to accept and embrace the distance between people), but the story behind the song is even more so. Utada first released ''Distance'' on her album of the same name. She had planned to release it as a single, but then heard about Rena Yamashita, a 6-year-old girl who was killed in a school stabbing rampage. Rena previously had won an essay competition by writing about how she wanted to be a singer like Utada. Utada rearranged ''Distance'' into a ballad and called it ''Final Distance'', and released it as a single instead.
543* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0fKI_FS-4U Lifehouse's ''First Time'''s]] music video had me feeling all warm and fuzzy after watching all the couples interacting in it.
544** "Breathing":
545-->Cause I am hanging on every word you say
546-->And even if you don't want to speak tonight
547-->That's alright, alright with me
548-->Cause I want nothing more than to sit
549-->Outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing
550-->That's where I want to be
551** ''Hanging by a Moment''.
552-->I'm falling even more in love with you
553-->Letting go of all I've held on to
554-->I'm standing here until you make me move
555-->Just hanging by a moment here with you
556* Is it overexposed? Sure, maybe. But Elton John's "Your Song" deserves it:
557--> I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
558--> That I've put down in words...
559--> How wonderful life is, now you're in the world.
560** Also "Can you Feel The Love Tonight". ''It's enough to make kings and vagabonds/Believe the very best...''
561* "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'Round the Old Oak Tree" by Dawn. It's about a someone coming home to their loved one after "doing time" and asking their lover to tie a yellow ribbon around the oak tree by their home if they still want them to come back:
562--> Now the whole damn bus is cheering
563--> And I can't believe I see
564--> A hundred yellow ribbons round the old oak tree
565* "Sleeps with Butterflies" By Music/ToriAmos. A song about a girl's daydream and faith with her lover.
566* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIgVMX4It-M&feature=related This combination]] of a stop-motion animation and a song by Tool is the first combination of a crowning moment of heartwarming and nightmare fuel I have seen. I guess the mileage may vary then.
567* Hearing the chorus of "Bring The Boys Back Home" sung by the Military Orchestra of the Soviet Army, during Music/PinkFloyd's Roger Waters' legendary 1990 Berlin Wall concert, was a Heartwarming Moment Of International Harmony that wonderfully captured the worldwide relief at the end of the Cold War.
568** More CMOH's for Waters include "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWK-lUyoLkU Every Stranger's Eyes]]" from ''The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking''...
569** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvTvWJWeQ2g The Tide Is Turning]]", from ''Radio KAOS''...
570** And "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8pLTI3Y9WU Each Small Candle]]" from his limited edition ''Flickering Flame'' GreatestHitsAlbum.
571* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_PDns23RWY Summertime]] by Creator/WillSmith. When he originally recorded it, he said that even the most hardcore, most gangsta of rappers couldn't say anything negative about it.
572* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUykqETc0XQ "Love Is Not A Fight"]], by Warren Barfield, AKA the unofficial theme song of ''Fireproof''.
573-->Love is a shelter in a raging storm
574-->Love is a peace in the middle of a war
575-->And if we try to leave
576-->May God send angels to guard the door
577-->No love is not a fight
578-->But it's something worth fighting for
579* Nick Cave: ''The Ship Song'' and ''Into My Arms''.
580* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHNArEfBKdc The Books "Smells Like Content"]]
581* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNcloTmvTeA&feature=channel_page Dear Mama]] by [[Music/TupacShakur 2pac.]]
582* In Music/{{Nickelback}}'s music video of "Come For You", a daughter went off with her boyfriend, one who her father doesn't approve of. As he's eating dinner alone, you can see that he's worried and anxious about his daughter. Then, we see that the boyfriend is trying to kissing the daughter. When she pushes him away and tells him to stop, he doesn't listen and continues, much more aggressively. In her desperation, the daughter quickly text-messages to her father, typing only the numbers "77". The father gets the message and is confused for a moment, until he glances at a picture of him and his daughter in their baseball uniforms, the two separate 7s on their shirts making "77". Quickly, knowing that his daughter is in trouble, the father quickly rushes out of the house to find his daughter. And also her message allows him to find her in a baseball field. Just in turn to grab her boyfriend off of her and give him a good punch for messing with his daughter. Then both father and daughter head back together home.
583** Nickelback's video clips tend to tread this territory a lot. Listen to the lyrics in ''Savin' Me'' and watch in the video clip when the man rescues the girl. Or the final seconds in the video clip in ''Far Away'', when the firefighter returns to his wife. You wouldn't think you could rely on Nickelback for Crowning Moments of Heartwarming, but they're good for those.
584** ''Never Gonna Be Alone...'' just ''Never Gonna Be Alone.''
585* Music/FiveIronFrenzy's last ever performance of ''Handbook for the Sellout''. Reese, the lead vocalist, sticks the microphone into the audience during every live performance of this particular song and they sing the first stanza. While most live recordings you can't make out much, this particular show... you could hear every last person, shouting their hearts out to a song by a band that, after that night, would no longer be together.
586* Rascal Flatts' song "Skin (Sarabeth)" is quite heartwarming. Girl discovers she has cancer, afraid to go to the prom because of the treatment, boyfriend comes to pick girl up, and she discovers he shaved his head to show it doesn't matter to him...makes me misty every time.
587** Mention Rascal Flatts without mentioning [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i50VlNxiFo American Living?]] It's absolutely ''impossible'' to listen to this song without feeling all light and happy, trust me.
588* Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard never fails to give me the fuzzies.
589* 'The Warrior Inside' by Dragonforce. Quite cheesy but the chorus just makes me warm and fuzzy.
590* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dg3PberzvXo Not Perfect]]'' by Tim Minchin.
591--->This is my Earth
592--->And I live in it
593--->It's one third dirt
594--->And two thirds water
595--->And it rotates and revolves through space
596--->At rather an impressive pace
597--->And never even messes up my hair
598--->And here's the really weird thing
599--->The force created by its spin
600--->Is the force that stops the chaos flooding in
601** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCNvZqpa-7Q White Wine in the Sun]]''.
602* The video to Elvis Costello's ''Veronica'', especially his commentary on her at the end.
603* Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors". Also "Time After Time", which manages to express endless love and devotion through the simplest words.
604-->If you're lost you can look and you will find me
605-->Time after time
606-->If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
607-->Time after time
608* 'Love Story' by Music/TaylorSwift
609-->And I said,
610-->"Romeo save me - I've been feeling so alone.
611-->I keep waiting for you but you never come.
612-->Is this in my head? I don't know what to think-"
613-->He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said,
614-->"Marry me, Juliet - you'll never have to be alone.
615-->I love you and that's all I really know.
616-->I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress;
617-->It's a love story - baby just say 'Yes.'"
618** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DBD0-gmIoE This video involving two Sonic fan characters happens to use Love Story as their song, and I guarantee this will leave you tearing up slightly.]]
619** The video for ''You Belong With Me''.
620** There's also "Tied Together With a Smile" written about a childhood friend who was anorexic.
621--->''Hold on, baby you're losin' it''
622--->''The water's high. You're jumping into it''
623--->''And letin' go, And no one knows''
624--->''That you cry, but you don't tell anyone''
625--->''That you might not be the golden one''
626--->''And you're tied together with a smile, but you're coming undone.''
627** I was watching the video for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPBwXKgDTdE&feature=branded Mine]]" and got good chills on the last chorus. It may be fairytale cliche, but it was just so sweet.
628--->''I remember how we felt sittin� by the water.''
629** How had Mary's Song not been mentioned?
630---> ''A few years had gone and come around, we were sitting at our favorite spots in town, and you looked at me, got down on one knee...''
631*** And again at the end:
632----> ''Well, I'll be 87, you'll be 89, I'll still look at you like the stars that shine in the sky, oh, my, my, my...""
633* And there's also the song "We'll Be There" from the 4Kids dub of ''Anime/YuGiOh''. Despite mediocre dubbing, the songs are awesome, and "We'll Be There" easily leaves a warm feeling in your heart.
634--> ''When its time to stand the test''
635--> ''I know you'll shine above the rest''
636--> ''When it's time to find your way''
637--> ''We'll be there''
638** "No Matter What" also qualifies.
639---> ''No matter what - Let the games begin''
640---> ''No matter what - May the best man win''
641---> ''No matter what - We're in this together''
642---> ''No matter what - We'll be friends forever''
643* These two verses from ''Something For Nothing'' by Music/{{Rush|Band}}:
644-->''What you own is your own kingdom;\
645What you do is your own glory;\
646[[ThePowerOfLove What you love is your own power]];\
647How you live is your own story.''
648-->''In you head is the answer;\
649Let it guide you along.\
650Let your heart be the anchor\
651And the beat of your song.''
652** Or from the Spirit of Radio
653-->"Begin the day with a friendly voice/A companion unobtrusive"
654** This verse from "Everyday Glory:"
655-->''If the future's looking dark, we're the ones who have to shine\
656If there's no one in control, we're the ones who draw the line\
657Though we live in trying times, we're the ones who have to try\
658Though we know that time has wings, we're the ones who have to fly.''
659** "Closer To The Heart". It is nothing more than a simple message asking people to put aside their differences and work together for a better future.
660* "Until I Met You'' by TheSunstreak is this and SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic combined.
661* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2rMDfGd8y4 "I Still Believe (In Love)"]] by Hayden Panettiere
662--> ''Oh I still believe in destiny''
663--> ''That you and I were meant to be''
664--> ''I still wish on the stars as they fall from above''
665--> ''cause I still believe, believe in love.''
666* [[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 SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming|Moments}} when you remember that he wrote this song as a lullaby for his newborn nephew (at the time).
667* "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 SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming|Moments}} 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!
668* The very first Naruto ending, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geAH6H0XRgA Wind]]. You know the one.
669* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Q7HBvM4lM "Shine",]] by Music/TakeThatBand.
670-->''Stop (Stop!)\
671Bein' so hard on yourself;\
672It's not good for your health!\
673I know that you can change,\
674So clear your head and come round.\
675You only have to open your eyes,\
676You might just get a big surprise!\
677And it might feel good,\
678And you might want to smile, smile, smile!''
679* Tokio Hotel's occasionally-overlooked "By Your Side." It's about acknowledging a rough situation, and telling the girl YouAreNotAlone:
680--> ''Turn around\
681I am here\
682If you want it's me you'll see\
683Doesn't count\
684Far or near\
685I can hold you when you reach for me.''
686* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwttyMcbRNM ''Hawaii'' by Mew]]. Just what about this song makes it so beautifully uplifting? The vibraphones and samba rhythms? Quite possibly. The lyrics - for example: "''Good luck trying to be someone, If you make it then you've won, You'll grow up to be someone''"? Certainly. But best of all is the chorus - as soon as the "Aaaaaahs" comes in with the swirling synths, and the lead singer declares "''And we all make mistakes once in a while!''".
687* Music/ElvisPresley had a few good songs for this, but one of his best was "Can't Help Falling in Love."
688* Most certainly also a TearJerker, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na-xvlYMGck this video]] for Music/TomSmith's "A Boy and His Frog" helps remind me so perfectly of everything amazing about the late Creator/JimHenson that... Just yeah. I already mentioned it but [[TearJerker don't forget to have tissues ready]].
689** Hell, even ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'' agrees with you. Yes, that ''[[BlackComedy Something]] [[CrossedTheLineTwice Positive]]''
690** On the same note, [[Series/SesameStreet Big Bird's]] performance of "It's Not Easy Being Green" at Henson's memorial provides a combined moment of heartwarming and heartbreak.
691** And as long as I'm adding the other two, every single version of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEVY51DD0Hk The Rainbow Connection]]'' also qualifies.
692* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kObI4XuTR2o "I hold you and know that we are free..."]]. Especially knowing how stories like this [[TearJerker usually end]] in other Sonata Arctica songs.
693** And especially since the rest of the album is really depressing.
694* "Echoes" by Set Your Goals is "What doesn't kill you makes stronger" set to music in the most awesome way possible.
695* "All the Small Things" by Blink 182, especially the second verse:
696-->Late night, come home
697-->Work sucks, I know
698-->She left me roses by the stairs
699-->Surprises let me know she cares
700* Sergei Rachmaninov's 3rd piano Concerto, third movement "Finale Ala Breve", possibly the most uplifting piece of music ever composed, especially after the second movement.
701* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iSf8wxEttk 'Some People Change']] by Music/MontgomeryGentry; people can-and do-make the right choice when it really matters.
702** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TxzOYjLzuQ Something To Be]] [[SoProudOfYou Proud Of]] deserves a mention.
703* Take That's ''Rule the World'' - especially since it's inspired by the movie ''Stardust'', also a SugarWIki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} on its own.
704* ''Foreword'', by VNV Nation. Among all their songs about [[CrapsackWorld destruction, pain, and loneliness]], there's a challenge to get out there and ''do something about it'':
705-->This is your world. These are your people. You can live for yourself today, or help build tomorrow for everyone.
706* ''As I Lay Me Down'' by Sophie B. Hawkins. Someone so completely in love that even birdsong sounds like a hymn about her faraway sweetheart? D'awwwwwwww.
707* ''When Tomorrow Comes'', by the Eurythmics. The singer's lover sleeps peacefully in her arms as she promises: "In this big, scary, chaotic world, ''I will always be there for you''".
708* Explosions in the Sky's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzIK5FaC38w Your Hand In Mine]] manages this without lyrics. (so do most of their songs, really)
709* "Chiquitita" by ABBA:
710--->Chiquitita you and I know
711--->how the heartaches come and they go
712--->and the scars they're leaving
713--->You'll be dancing once again
714--->and the pain will end
715--->you will have no time for grieving
716--->Chiquitita you and I cry
717--->but the sun is still in the sky
718--->and shining above you
719--->let me hear you sing once more
720--->like you did before
721--->sing a new song Chiquitita
722** Ditto "The Way Old Friends Do", a song about ThePowerOfFriendship performed as an encore at their '79 concerts and released on the ''Super Trouper'' album.
723-->Times of joy and times of sorrow
724-->We will always see it through
725-->Oh, I don't care what comes tomorrow
726-->We can face it together the way old friends do
727-->''We can face it together the way old friends do''
728* People around the entire world sing all about how much [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at_f98qOGY0 they love the whole world]]. The world ''is'' awesome.
729* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b57aYTJEZbI Puff, the magic dragon]] lived by the sea/And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee"
730** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9xyIGCp7ss "Don't laugh at me, don't call me names, don't get your pleasure from my pain..."]].
731* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tRZGrdssNU "Follow your heart and you won't get lost."]] Oh, jeez, here come the waterworks...
732* "I'll Be Your Mirror", written by Lou Reed and originally recorded by the Velvet Underground, soars into SugarWiki/{{WAFF}} territory when sung by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny2-rEs06vE Susanna Hoffs]].
733* Ben Folds. ''The Luckiest.'' Full stop.
734** Also, from the same album, ''Still Fighting It''
735** Lest we forget "Still", "Gracie," "Cologne," "Frowne Song (Feeble Anthem)," need I go on? Ben Folds is also kind of made of win.
736* I would like to nominate [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEPTMoLyOrI ''Fukai Mori'' (Deep Forest) by Do As Infinity.]]
737* Considering it's a song based on a video game about a robot blasting the everloving snot out of other robots, Lamentations of a War Machine by The Megas can really get one welling up.
738-->If I have a heart made of steel, then does that mean I cannot feel
739-->Remorse for everything I've done? My hand's a smoking gun!
740-->What purpose am I to fulfill? Was I built just to kill?
741-->Is there a soul beneath this shell? And will it go to robot hell?
742-->Tell me Doctor Light, why did I fight?
743-->Tell me Doctor, tell me Doctor, was I right?
744-->How many must fall until there's peace for all?
745-->Tell me was I wrong before we get to the end of this...
746** And let's not leave out the narrated part in the middle.
747-->He walked away from the castle left in ruins, a path of destruction in his wake. The clouds parted and the warmth of the sun brought the question..."Is this what you were made to do?" He removed his helmet, dropped it into the soft grass. Would this quest ever end?
748* A fair amount of [[strike:Cat Stevens]] Yusuf Islam music counts, but especially "Peace Train" and "Roadsinger".
749** "Wild World" has always read to me like a father watching his daughter grow up--bittersweet and beautiful. ''I'll always remember you like a child, girl.''
750* Oh, and we can't forget Jimmy Eat World's "The Middle".
751** Or the lesser-known "Work," especially with the video of all the college students getting interviewed.
752* Music/{{Voltaire}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-4e0sazlQY "Goodnight Demon Slayer"]]. It's about a parent reassuring his child that if the monsters try to attack him, the kid is more than capable of kicking their butts.
753-->I won't tell you there's nothing 'neath your bed
754-->I won't sell you that it's all in your head
755-->This world of ours is not as it seems
756-->The monsters are real but they're not in your dreams
757-->Learn what you can from the beasts you defeat.
758-->You'll need it for some of the people you meet.
759** This song was originally written by Voltaire for his son when he had nightmares and had trouble getting to sleep. Heartwarming indeed.
760** Also his "[[http://www.jango.com/music/Voltaire?l=0 Stuck with You]]", which details a couple's relationship growing into increasingly [[EyeScream psychotic]] [[AxCrazy levels]] of hatred, [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther but]]...
761-->And now I lie here in the grave,
762-->I pray to God my soul to save.
763-->And in the darkness of the tomb,
764-->I'm glad I'm lying next to you.
765
766-->And as I lay here six feet down,
767-->My body buried underground.
768-->In this dank, and dreary cold,
769-->I'm just glad I'm not alone.
770
771-->Oh, but in the eyes of God,
772-->We said our vows before the pews,
773-->"Not until death may we part".
774-->I'm not sad I said 'I do',
775-->I'm just glad I was stuck with you.
776* Pierce the Veil's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3JTZWtpU5w "Kissing in Cars"]].
777* Several songs by Music/BradPaisley, including:
778** ''Then''
779** ''Two People Fell In Love''
780** ''Little Moments''
781** ''It Did''
782* Although you wouldn't expect this from a ska-core band, The Flatliners managed to make a very good Heartwarming song. The song is entitled [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0swGZXbW7I ''Eulogy'']].
783-->I feel I'm awake today with this memory that was once misplaced
784-->And I never thought I'd live to see this overpouring sadness
785-->Our eyes wide, receptive
786-->A family without a face learns that hands around them will help give direction
787-->and our mourning hearts will skip a beat at every single mention
788-->You will not be forgotten
789-->And we will sing
790
791-->You will always be remembered
792-->You will be celebrated
793-->You will never be forgotten
794-->These tears still haven't faded
795* Who would have guessed that RatedMForManly PowerMetal band ''Music/IronSavior'' would put out one of these? "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwdNWUP2Q-Y Wings of Deliverance]]". Ever been far away from everyone you love and care about? Play this on your way back:
796-->"And whenever I'm closing my eyes it is you that I have on my mind
797-->Echoes of what I had to leave behind
798-->Ten thousand miles of torture
799-->Ten thousand miles of pain
800-->'''But nothing, nothing is keeping me from you'''
801-->I'm coming back to you again"
802* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7eyqCQYBGY "Jump Rope"]] by Blue October; for a band whose songs are usually angsty and depressing, this one is cheerful, bouncy, and about staying optimistic through everything bad that happens to you, because it ''will'' get better.
803** So are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=qoJQNk934hA Everlasting Friend]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyR-WnY56Ds 18th Floor Balcony]] for that matter.
804* Richie Havens sings [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdCx-1afCgM Wonder Child]], live on Sesame Street. Gorgeous.
805* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vhgxKxcuKI Affirmation by Savage Garden.]] It gives any listener hope knowing that someone wrote such a lovely, uplifting, and all out inspiring song!
806** And we have to mention ''Crash and Burn'', by Savage Garden as well. That song is on record as having saved a number of people's lives.
807* Come Home, by One Republic. "The world ain't half as bad as they paint it to be."
808** Beyond that, ''Goodbye Apathy'' is a perfect mix of SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming|Moments}} and TearJerker.
809-->I don't walk right, not like I used to
810-->There's a jump in my step as I rush to see you
811-->I could be happy here
812-->As long as you're near to me, as long as you're close to me
813
814-->Now that I'm alright, (as I'm tryin')
815-->I can help you out (just to make things right, I)
816-->I'll be what you need (kill myself to make ev'ry-)
817-->I'll do anything (-thing perfect for you)
818-->Goodbye apathy...
819
820-->So don't you stop...pushing me!
821-->I can take so much!
822
823-->So goodbye apathy (as I'm tryin')
824-->So long, fancy-free (just to get things right, I)
825-->Goodbye apathy (kill myself to make ev'ry-)
826-->I don't wanna be... (-thing perfect for...)
827-->You...
828* ''American Pie'', written by Don [=McLean=] as a tribute to Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper, three of his favorite musicians who died in a plane crash in 1959.
829* Bathory's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQwQw8Tfml4 Hammerheart]], the closer to the album ''Twilight of the Gods''. A warrior makes his peace with the world and ascends into Valhalla, all set to Holst's ''Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity''. Suffice it to say, for a band who made a name for themselves writing songs about raping angels and scalping God to produce a track like this is a tremendous achievement.
830* Styx's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtzIWPeun7c Fooling Yourself.]]
831--> And you're fooling yourself if you don't believe it
832-->You're kidding yourself if you don't believe it
833-->Why must you be such an angry young man
834-->When your future looks quite bright to me
835** Another Styx example: "Come Sail Away".
836* Van Halen's song ''Dreams''. It's 80s rock, but that final guitar riff after the last chorus -- you know which guitar riff I'm talking about -- makes my whole body tingle out of sheer awesome every time I hear it.
837* Paul Simon's ''The Boy in the Bubble''. ''These are the days of miracle and wonder'' indeed.
838** "Father and Daughter" is another example--it might have been created for a Nickelodeon movie, but ''There could never be a father loved his daughter more than I love you'' is beautiful.
839* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZQEIXn-pko I'll Try]]from ''Return to Neverland.'' A song about rediscovering the magic in the world, specifically concluding "The whole world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust." Makes me smile and tear up every time I hear that line.
840* "Bittersweet" by Within Temptation.
841* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HSTA2ucYuc Stolen]] by Dashboard Confessional. The sped-up version is nice, but you absolutely ''need'' to hear the acoustic version for the full effect--the violins, the guitar, and most of all Chris Carrabba's gushingly sweet voice are like distilled heartwarming serum. People say that Chris Carrabba changed their perceptions of the ''word'' stolen from negative to positive--if that's not heartwarming, nothing is.
842* Most of the songs from the "Panic at the Disco" album "Pretty.Odd" qualify, but "That Green Gentleman" in particular.
843* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2yeNzL7rTU A Better Place, A Better Time]] by Streetlight Manifesto. A six and half minute rally against suicide set to bright, blasting horns. The whole mood of the song is just so upbeat and if the melody doesn't stir the cockles of your heart, then the lyrics will
844--> [[HeroicBSOD So you're tired of living? And you feel like you might give in?]]
845--> [[TearJerker Well Don't...It's not your time]]
846--> [[ScrewDestiny And even if it was, oh I wouldn't let you go]]
847--> [[{{Determinator}} You could run run run but I would follow close]]
848--> [[YouAreNotAlone I know that you think that you're on your own, but just know that I'm here and I'll lead you home]]
849** Also with Streetlight Manifesto, A few songs on Somewhere in the Between count. Including the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5mFjnj4j2w title song]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IXR3ptOgbU One foot on the gas, One foot in the grave]] deserves a mention too
850* Paul Robeson's version of "I'm Gonna Let It Shine." If hugs could sing that is how they would sound.
851* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G5x3fpfpFI House at Pooh Corner]] by Loggins and Messina and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Da0y5rjb8k Your Heart Will Lead You Home]] by Kenny Loggins. Nothing says warm and fuzzy like ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh''.
852* The final verses of Music/GunsNRoses, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-FP8B4cTH8 Rocket Queen]]", ("I see you standing, standing on your own, it's such a lonely place for you for you to be..."), a great contrast to the overtly sexual lyrics that come before.
853* January Wedding by The Avett Brothers is basically one giant Crowning Moment of Heartwarming. It's just so completely sincere and sweet:
854--> She's talking to me with her
855--> Voice down so low I barely hear her
856--> But I know what she's saying, I understand because
857--> My heart and hers are the same.
858* Music/{{Aerosmith}} ''Angel'' and ''[[Film/Armageddon1998 I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing]]'':
859-->You're my angel
860-->Come and save me tonight
861-->You're my angel
862-->Come and make it alright
863:::and
864-->I don't wanna close my eyes
865-->I don't wanna fall asleep
866-->'Cuz I'd miss you, baby
867-->And I don't wanna miss a thing
868-->'Cuz even when I dream of you
869-->The sweetest dream would never do
870-->I'd still miss you, baby
871-->And I don't wanna miss a thing.
872%%** From the same movie, the Music/{{Journey|Band}} song "Remember Me". Not as widely known, but just as heartwarming.
873* Relient K's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQZl0aaNtgc Must Have Done Something Right]]. "I'm racking my brains for a new improved way/To tell you you're more to me than what I can say..." "If anyone could make me a better person you could/All I can say is that I must have done something good.
874** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1oN9vskt4w More Than Useless]] as well. "I'm a little more than useless / When I think that I can't do this / You promise me that I'll get through this..."
875** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfX4vR2lNW8 The Best Thing]]. "The best thing is that it's happening to you and me."
876* The song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M00scbZOWGo Boys (Lesson One)]] by Music/JarsOfClay. It's father to child. YouAreNotAlone, '''''ever'''''. "If you have questions, we can talk through the night... You can leave, you can run; this will still be your home... There will be liars, and thieves who take from you; 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''."
877* "Vito's Ordination Song" by Sufjan Stevens. Also many of the songs from the Christmas album.
878* Iron and Wine's "Each Coming Night", which is also a TearJerker because of its subject material, but is heartwarming in that the singer is asking his loved ones to remember all the good things about him after he's gone. "The Trapeze Swinger" is also a good one.
879** "Belated Promise Ring" is another one, especially the last verse. So is "Fever Dream." Basically, any song off of ''Our Endless Numbered Days'' is likely to be this, TearJerker, or both.
880* Music/TheDecemberists song "The Soldiering Life", about love blooming on the battlefield [[HoYay between two soldiers]].
881-->''We laid on the mattress and tumbled to sleep\
882Our eyes aligned, swaddled in our civvies\
883Cradled in our dungarees''
884* John Martyn dedicated the song (and album) "Solid Air" to his friend Nick Drake, who was suffering from depression (and would, tragically, die of an overdose of antidepressant medication a year later).
885-->''I know you, I love you\
886I'll be your friend\
887I could follow you, anywhere\
888Even through solid air.''
889** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQs6MvsPCXA "May You Never"]] also qualifies:
890--->''And may you never lay your head down\
891Without a hand to hold\
892May you never make your bed out in the cold.\
893\
894You're just like a great strong brother of mine\
895You know that I love you true\
896And you never talk dirty behind my back\
897And I know that there's those that do.''
898* "In the Dark of the Night", by E-Rotic, is a sweet song about finding love, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGo6PvIi8Ck&feature=related a My Little Pony fan vid]] catapults it to a whole new level of adorable.
899* ''Jumper'' by Third Eye Blind. But made all the more heartwarming in the movie YesMan, as Jim Carrey's character tries to coax a man from jumping off a building and the whole crowd below joining in to help.
900* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G30MhXmlZGE Baba Yetu]]" by Christopher Tin and sung by the Stanford University a cappella group Talisman. It's a setting of The Lord's Prayer in Swahili. And paired with a montage of the world's greatest landmarks being built (taken from cutscenes from ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} IV'')...hey, maybe we humans aren't so bad after all.
901* ''Starlight'', the fifth and final act of Creator/ChristopherLee's [[HeavyMithril biographical metal]] rock opera album ''Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross'' ends with the historical king dying with his wife by his side and finally finding peace within himself for the atrocities he committed; both of them looking towards the better future he has strived for throughout his entire life. Considering this is a metal album with lyrics that also include the words "I spilled the blood of 4000 saxon men'', the fact that the final act can be so heartwarming and hopeful is an incredible accomplishment.
902* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJEaLa1SP5c&feature=related Believe]] by Elton John. Yeah, it's ThePowerOfLove spiel, which may turn some people away, but it's done so beautifully, illustrating that you can have faith in something so basic, even when it appears the world is dying.
903* Hold On by Good Charlotte. Also serves as a TearJerker.
904* For me, "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" from ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' is a nice, but I didn't feel much when I heard it. However, the '[[WesternAnimation/TheLionKingIISimbasPride sequel's]] version': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlyMdk4CATQ&feature=PlayList&p=02A8DB9B6AC6BC31&playnext_from=PL&index=0 Love Will Find a Way]], as sung by Liz Callaway and Gene Miller, really brings tears to my eyes and a smile to my face.
905** "[[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 [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic such a gloriously beautiful song]] one can't help feeling themselves swell just hearing it.
906* "Forbidden Friendship" from ''WesternAnimation/HowToTrainYourDragon2010''.
907* "Bullets" and "Safe and Sound" by Hawksley Workman.
908* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJgOsA4Co0Q Inside Job]]" by Music/PearlJam is a definite heartwarmer.
909* 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 SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} all by itself.
910* "Can I Have A Kiss?" by Kelly Clarkson is on her least acclaimed album, and is often over-looked. It's about what happens when all you have to offer your love is yourself. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyPnHa3fmew Just listen.]]
911* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCeWat8zx18 Drops Of Jupiter]]'' by Train.
912-->Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken\
913Your best friend always sticking up for you\
914Even when I know you're wrong\
915Can you imagine no first dance, freeze-dried romance\
916Five-hour phone conversation\
917The best soy latte that you ever had, and ''me''
918* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DboM8xYouqc Storybook Love]]'' by Willy Deville, a.k.a. the end credits song from ''Film/ThePrincessBride''. One of the most purely "aww"-inducing, purely [[SugarWiki/{{WAFF}} warm, fuzzy, sweet]] love songs out there.
919* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDBpQVhCMb8&feature=fvw Mario Kart Love Song]].
920-->You be my Princess,\
921And I'll be your Toad,\
922I'll follow behind you on Rainbow Road,\
923Protect you from Red Shells wherever I go,\
924I promise,\
925[...]\
926And the finish line is just around the bend,\
927I'll pause this game,\
928So our love will never end...
929* If you ever need a quick cheering up, Me Hele No Lilo from the opening of WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch will put a smile on your face for sure.
930* AmazingFreakingGrace. Holy cow, how has this one been missed? Regardless of whether you agree with the religious message, there's something about this song that tugs at the heartstrings, namely the themes of hope and redemption.
931* British rap/grime/performance poetry outfit TheStreets bring us ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dPAFTn8Fb4 Never Went To Church]]'', which was written in response to the death of frontman Mike Skinner's father. It starts out deep in TearJerker territory, but ends on an uplifting and deeply touching note.
932* Edwin [=McCain=]'s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMiVeK5zGz8 I'll Be]]", full stop. The most heartwarming line, "I'll be the greatest fan of your life", would be creepy, except for the fact that you'd have to be made of stone not to feel the pure love in [=McCain=]'s voice.
933* What, no love for Scorpions? If you live in Europe, especially Central Europe, "Wind of Change" certainly qualifies. It is the perfect song that celebrated the end of the UsefulNotes/ColdWar that divided a continent with mutual hate and fear until enough people found the courage and wisdom to bring it to a peaceful end.
934* Attack Attack! is christian metalcore/techno (makes sense when you hear it) band, so you wouldn't expect them to have any, but they do! My personal favorite is near the ending of the song ''[[http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=5&ved=0CCUQtwIwBA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DHHC6dvQso1A&ei=QegOTL83iLY2nO3Ruww&usg=AFQjCNEHlFnDCMyIrEmznAGsptTXEFwJgQ&sig2=NQS0rMNw6oVG8eDkSTrseA Dr. Shavargo Pt. 3]]'' has this line "I will always refuse to take you for granted" which always gets me.
935* Mumford & Sons ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNy8llTLvuA The Cave]]''. "And I will hold on hope, and I won't let you choke, on the noose around your neck. And I'll find strength in pain, and I will change my ways. I'll know my name as it's called again." Wow.
936** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KCg_QEHtkY Winter Winds]]'' is great too. Feel the horns just wash over you...
937-->''So if your strife strikes at your sleep,''
938-->''Remember: spring swaps snow for leaves.''
939-->''You'll be happy and wholesome again''
940-->''When the city clears and sun ascends.''
941** Also, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kl-VCHzS1So Timshell]]. ''"You are not alone in this. You are not alone in this. As brothers we will stand and we'll hold your hand."''
942* Many songs from the old 2B A Master Pokemon CD, 'Together Forever'.
943-->Even though we've never said it\
944There's something that the two of us both know\
945Together forever, no matter how long\
946From now until the end of time\
947We'll be together, and you can be sure\
948That forever and a day, that's how long we'll stay\
949Together, and forever more.
950** Not to mention "Flying Without Wings" by Westlife, as it appeared on the Movie 2000 soundtrack.
951* You can't mention Pokemon tearjerkers without mentioning [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PjoFZH3PtI&feature=related We're a Miracle]] from the first movie soundtrack.
952-->You and me we're a miracle; meant to be
953-->And nothing can change it
954-->Mountains move
955-->And oceans part
956-->When they are standing in our way
957-->You and me, we're a miracle;
958-->Angels stand watching over
959-->And heaven shines upon us, everyday.
960** You're honestly going to list heart-warming, tear-jerking Pokemon songs without mentioning [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZFcTGAGL3s Brother, My Brother?]] For crapsakes, even [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blessid_Union_of_Souls the name of the band]] gives off SugarWiki/{{WAFF}}.
961*** "The Time has Come- Pikachu's Goodbye."
962---->Just one moment and I knew
963---->you're my best friend
964---->do anything for you.
965** For Pokemon’s 25th anniversary in 2021, Music/PostMalone recorded Music/HootieAndTheBlowfish’s “Only Wanna Be With You”. Sounds cheesy, but in practice one of the most WAFF-bringing covers in recent memory. Pika!
966* Pick a song by Scott Andrew. ''Especially'' [[http://www.scottandrew.com/wordpress/songs/where_ive_been/everything_they_say "Everything They Say]]. And [[http://www.scottandrew.com/wordpress/songs/save_you/more_good_days "More Good Days".]] And [[http://www.scottandrew.com/wordpress/songs/save_you/holding_back_2 "Holding Back"]]. The lyrics to that last one ''will'' make you smile and just generally feel like you can do it, "it" being ''anything''.
967* How can Hoobastank's "The Reason is You" NOT be on here?!
968* Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" and "Talking Bird." Hell, Ben Gibbard singing a soft song just MAKES this trope...
969** Now we have "Stay Young, Go Dancing."
970* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBU-MxydbWQ "Wrapped Up In Books" by Belle & Sebastian]]. It evokes images of a shy couple having a date in a library. The harmonizing voices are beautiful by themselves. But then, halfway through, the music slows down, as presumably, one of them is worried about something. Then, the saxophones come in, which are already uplifting and reassuring, but just to hit the point home:
971-->I will say a prayer, just while you are sitting there.
972-->And I will wrap my hands around you, 'cause I know it will be fine.
973* Johnny Clegg and Savuka's "Dela (I Know Why the Dog Howls at the Moon)". Just a deeply sweet and joyful song.
974* In 2010, Chris Brown performed a tribute to the late Michael Jackson at the BET Awards, after performing his own rendition of Smooth Criminal and Billie Jean, complete with the songs' respective dances, Brown broke into "Man In The Mirror", only to become choked up by tears. If this wasn't enough, the ENTIRE AUDIENCE began singing FOR HIM when it was apparent he was too choked up over his former mentor's death.
975* The Last Night, by Skillet. How come this isn't here already? And no, I don't care if you don't have the same religious beliefs, it's a good song anyway.
976** Also, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGcsIdGOuZY "Hero" by Skillet]], which could also be half [[TearJerker/{{Music}} TearJerker]]. Especially this part:
977--->And if it kills me tonight
978--->I will be ready to die
979--->A hero's not afraid to give his life
980--->A hero's gunna save me just in time
981* Good Enough, by Evanescence. It's about how the singer's finally happy and feeling [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin good enough]]. Amy said that she was almost afraid to show it to the rest of the band, it was such a happy song.
982* The song may be played like hell and this may be a bit cheesy, but "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko7sdZZAqAI Umbrella]]" by Rihanna. Sentimental, maybe, but the chorus always registers as a light but straightforward and smile-inducing expression of at least possibly platonic love.
983* Boyce Avenue's [[TheCoverChangesTheMeaning cover]] of "Only Girl in the World"
984* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0KfQmVXbk4 Lullaby For You]], ending theme for ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou''. In the context of the game, it's this even stronger as well as a TearJerker.
985* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5G80qbgRNA Life Is Like A Boat]] by Rie Fu. As it was put on the BilingualBonus page, in English, it's about someone who's alone in the world and feels like no one understands them, but soon finds a lover/HeterosexualLifePartner. In Japanese, it's about how hard life is, but you must endure to another day if you want to get anywhere. But if you speak both (or get subtitles), the true meaning of the song becomes clear - You can't go it alone, no matter what, we all need someone to lean on. Thus, the ending lines, which are basically the opening lines in Japanese, with the following at the end- "It's a beautiful journey, they're all beautiful journeys".
986* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XPl6Pb8K4I "Pot Belly,"]] from South African band Freshlyground, is CMOH in about a jillionty billion ways. The song itself is a soft, gentle love song about how [[BigBeautifulWoman "a pot belly still gives good lovin',"]] but the ''music video'' ups the ante with the downright {{Adorkable}} romance of two awkward-but-earnest individuals as they colorfully bumble through love. Makes you want to hug ''both'' of them, doesn't it?
987* Music/DollyParton, Coat of Many Colours.
988* Stever Harley and Cockney Rebel [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pBPIIq9uRQ "(Love) Compared with You"]]. Might be too cheesy for some but is a perfect CMOH for others.
989* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHQC2SCI2jY "Calleth You, Cometh I"]] by The Ark. The band itself is very well aware of this and always finish their concerts with it.
990* Elisa's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZgNUTBnmAw "Dancing"]]. It would do this with just the words alone, but the lyrics combined with a high, lilting melody make this song a definite CMOH.
991* Most of Hanako Oku's songs count, however [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SAEbeaSNeU "Smiling, Smiling"]] is truly beautiful.
992-->Smiling, smiling if I walk along
993-->You'll be waiting for me somewhere
994-->Smiling, smiling searching for love
995-->I'll be heading towards you
996* Music/JoeDiffie's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gSJtYae8bQ "John Deere Green."]] Those huge letters on the water tower, and the sheriff's not mad, the mayor's not mad, the guy who owns the tower isn't mad. The most flak Billy Bob catches is that "he should have used red." Then he and Charlene get married, have kids, run their farm, and if you stand in the right spot you can STILL see the writing. Nobody wanted to wipe it off.^^
997* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbRb0m7YPHs "Everlasting Love"]] from the We Love Katamari soundtrack. It's a happy song whether or not you understand the words.
998* Hamish Henderson's "Freedom Come All Ye", a song about hailing the death of imperialism and racism, the inevitability of change and humanity's natural drive [[RousseauWasRight towards peace and universal brotherhood]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEOxGfFfJDo Luke Kelly's rendition]] is of particular note.
999* 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 SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, given how unreservedely the song flew in the political and social estbalishment of the day, and an anvil which certainly needed to be dropped.
1000* Modest Mouse's song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTAud5O7Qqk&feature=avmsc2 "Float On"]] is so uplifting, reminding you that things don't have to be terrible. Good things happen, and it's okay to brush it off when they don't. Just be optimistic.
1001** "Alright, don't worry, even if things end up a bit too heavy, we'll all float on..."
1002* Practically every Australian knows the iconic song ''I Am Australian'', and it can be this for many on its own, but it became both this and a TearJerker when it was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNmVQDxjPzE played]] during the memorial service for the devastating bushfires in Victoria last year, with two new verses added just for the occasion. Never have I felt so proud to be Australian.
1003--> From the ashes of despair
1004--> Our towns will rise again
1005--> We mourn your loss
1006--> We will rebuild
1007--> We are Australian
1008* "Anthem" by Music/LeonardCohen, from ''Music/TheFuture''
1009* Every African American tears up whenever they here [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU8921j20e8 Lift every voice and sing...]]
1010* "Baby, I Need Your Loving" and "Reach Out/I'll Be There" by TheFourTops gets me every time
1011* [[http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=gr_eVcCAUXo Give me the beat boys and free my soul/I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away]]
1012* Don't Stop Believin'
1013-->Don't stop believin'
1014-->Hold on to that feelin'
1015-->Streetlight people
1016* Celine Dion's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6wbugWrfLU "That's The Way It Is."]]
1017-->When you want it the most there's no easy way out
1018-->When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
1019-->Don't give up on your faith
1020-->Love comes to those who believe it
1021-->And that's the way it is.
1022* Garth Brooks, "Belleau Wood." During a World War I Christmas truce, soldiers on both sides spontaneously join in singing "Silent Night," followed by the narrator getting a good look at someone from the other side:
1023-->Then he raised his hand and smiled at me as if he seemed to say,
1024-->"Here's hoping we both live to see us find a better way."
1025* Every single song from the Lion King soundtrack. Except for the villain songs (My Lullaby and Be Prepared). Special mention to He Lives in You, We Are One and Circle of Life
1026* Uncle Kracker's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffej15-Dgl0 "Smile"]]. The title says it all.
1027* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU-mnnpznhM&feature=related I Didn't Know I'd Love You So Much"]] from ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'', sung by Nathan and Shilo as [[spoiler: he dies in her arms]]. Heartbreaking.
1028-->"But you've already saved me dear.
1029--> Go and change the world for me.
1030--> We will always have each other, in our time of need.
1031--> Shilo/Daddy you're the world to me."
1032** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8GLyWX6bp8 "Genetic Emancipation"]], after [[spoiler: Nathan dies]] and Shilo realizes [[spoiler: she isn't dying and is free to do whatever she wants with her life]].
1033* The Sugar Wiki anthem.
1034-->''You can call me [[ThePollyanna Pollyanna]];\
1035Say I'm [[CloudCuckooLander crazy as a loon]]!\
1036I believe in [[WorldHalfFull silver linings]] and that's why,\
1037'''I believe in you'''!''
1038* Everything I Do (I Do It For You) by Bryan Adams is also particularly heart-warming.
1039* Garth Brooks' Standing Outside the Fire. The song itself is powerful, but coupled with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0kNr8HOCZk the video]]...
1040* Chuck Wicks' "Stealing Cinderella".
1041* From ''Wicked'', "For Good" is half this and half TearJerker.
1042* Michael Franti's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehu3wy4WkHs "Say Hey (I Love You)."]] It's a beautiful, upbeat, positive song about love that is sure to bring a smile to your face... for days on end.
1043* [[http://www.muzu.tv/justjack/just-jack-the-day-i-died-music-video/277626?country=gb The Day I Died]] by Just Jack is either this or a Tear Jerker, depending on how you interpret the video.
1044* ''You were there'', the ending theme of ICO. It's both sad and triumphant at the same time. It perfectly emcompasses the themes of the story, and the shared experience of a strange boy with horns, and an ethereal girl with skin as white as snow.
1045* The band Lifehouse has a couple of mentions above, but I really want a note specifically dedicated to them. I adore their music. It just makes me feel so ''good'' inside. In an age of so much great music, it's hard to pick a favourite song, but ''Hangin' By a Moment'' is a piece of music that I just never grow tired of listening to. ''You and Me'' has a habit of moving me to tears, ''Almost Gone'' is (despite the narrative within the song's lyrics) really upbeat and awesome, and then there's ''All In''. I know it's corny to say so and I apologise in advance, but this music is how I feel when I'm in love, you know? I can't sing their praises enough.
1046** ''Who We Are'' is another heart-warmer of Lifehouse's, especially when set to a music video that celebrates the friendship of the original ''WesternAnimation/IceAge1'' trio.
1047* Within a song, the SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming|Moments}} 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.
1048* Pretty much anything by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weakerthans The Weakerthans]], but paticularly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdwMkA1WaGU Plea From a Cat Named Virtue]]
1049* "Your Guardian Angel" by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. Even if it's saccharine, it still warms you from the inside out. And when set to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z-w3EHu_m0 this]] beautifully animated ''Literature/WarriorCats'' AMV...*collapses on keyboard*
1050* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCmoAuZgsnE This]] rendition of "Rue's Lullaby" from the first ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' book created by a member of Mockingjay.net. Words cannot describe.
1051* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sImyVGiqEDA&feature=related You and me together will be,forever you'll see, we two can be good company]]- say it with me: D'awwwwwww( from Oliver and Company)
1052* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFcxK9wl-RU Shut Up and Smile]] by Bowling For Soup. Given the cynical/sarcastic nature of most pop punk (including, admittedly, BFS themselves), this song is a breath of fresh air.
1053* Music/MitchBenn, Proud of the BBC. Who knew a ListSong could warm the collective hearts of an increasingly cynical island? Well, it worked.
1054* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGJuMBdaqIw Katy Perry's Firework.]]
1055* How about Jackie Wilson? Surely his three best-known songs, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ3-NnNx6Zs "Reet Petite"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDB85BBV1uA "I Get the Sweetest Feeling"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsdtUMdXXJg "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher"]] are all worthy of the title Crowning Moments of Heartwarming. Likewise, the tribute by Van Morrison, "Jackie Wilson Said (I'm In Heaven When You Smile)" is one too.
1056* [[WesternAnimation/{{Hercules}} But to look beyond the glory is the hardest part]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lenkR5XzSJc For a hero's strength is measured by his heart...]]
1057* And from WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzPfIW8FSjs Broadway version]] of You'll Be In My Heart and its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsfwbjE5LCc reprise]].
1058* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTJVclgwS5g&feature=related "Celluloid Heroes"]] by Music/TheKinks. A ballad that lovingly eulogizes a list of Hollywood legends, and assures us:
1059-->''Everybody's a dreamer, and everybody's a star'',
1060-->''And everybody's in showbiz, it doesn't matter who you are.''
1061* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGcsPMyKugM "You Make Me Feel So Good"]], by Book of Love.
1062* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22bK0C2obFc "Accidentally in Love"]] by Counting Crows. It's a love song that anyone can relate to.
1063* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKawkaXLUgk "Doc Brown Has Moved Upstairs"]] as performed by Johnny Cash. Bonus points that it was based on the real life of a real doctor.
1064* We can all agree that most ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episodes haven't been that good post-movie, but the song during "Where's Gary?" is quite moving, especially to those of us who may have lost a pet in real life.
1065* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oP-t87yIhOE "Still"]], Alanis Morissette's theme song from Dogma. Maybe a little touchy for those not to fond of the g-word, but the lyrics are great at depicting a forgiving G-d who loves his/her children in spite of all the horrible things they do.
1066-->I see you altering history
1067-->I see you abusing the land
1068-->I see you and your selective amnesia
1069-->And I love you still
1070* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvbCV6E0Wro "Perpetuum Mobile" by Penguin Cafe Orchestra]], even if it does sound like music for a life insurance commercial. Even more SugarWiki/{{WAFF}} when played in the movie "Mary & Max."
1071* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-fyNgHdmLI "My Sacrifice"]] by Music/{{Creed|band}}.
1072* The Spinner's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKbADFJOCkU "Rubberband Man"]] is already a very upbeat and fun song, but then you learn that the band's producer wrote it to cheer up his son --who was picked on by his classmates for being overweight-- and it becomes damn-near impossible to ''not'' to feel good while listening to it.
1073* "A Little More Homework," from the obscure broadway show "13." A charming song about growing up.
1074* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpiYXRt5MyM "A friend is a friend, nothing can change that / Arguments, squabbles can't break the contract"]]
1075* John Denver's "Alfie the Christmas Tree," a spoken poem that truly asks for peace on Earth, and not at the expense of others' beliefs.
1076-->You see, some folks have never heard a jingle bell ring
1077-->And they've never heard of Canta Claus
1078-->They've never heard the story of the Son of God
1079-->That made Alfie pause
1080-->Did that mean that they'd never know of peace on earth
1081-->Or the Brotherhood of Man
1082-->Or know how to love, or know how to give?
1083-->If they can't, no one can
1084-->You see, life is a very special kind of thing
1085-->Not just for a chosen few
1086-->But for each and every living, breathing thing
1087-->Not just me and you
1088* "Don't Come The Cowboy With Me, Sonny Jim", by Kirsty [=MacColl=]. It starts off with the singer's [[TheSnarkKnight cynical]], [[SugarAndIcePersonality 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.
1089* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XXfqPRG4TQ The song "After Hours" by We Are Scientists]]. The combination of the upbeat guitar and the lovely string pieces is impeccable, and makes a song about always wanting to be with someone near perfect. There's a violin swell near the middle that simply steals the breath.
1090--> This night is winding down
1091--> but time means nothing.
1092--> As always at this hour
1093--> Time means nothing.
1094--> Let's buy our final round 'cos
1095--> Time means nothing.
1096--> Say that you'll stay; say that you'll stay.
1097* ''Home By Now/No Matter What'' by Music/MeatLoaf. What starts out as downright depressing music, suddenly becomes uplifting, telling of how the woman he's singing to, despite all odds, has saved him. It hits its peak here:
1098--> No matter who they follow
1099--> No matter where they lead
1100--> No matter how they judge us
1101--> I'll be everyone you need
1102--> No matter if the sun don't shine
1103--> Or if the skies are blue
1104--> No matter what the ending
1105--> My life began with you
1106* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5C5twY6f-rU Fly me to the moon, let me play among the stars..."]]
1107* Like him or not, Michael Jackson's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjmalHcQh54 1990 tribute to Sammy Davis Jr]].
1108* John Barrowman and Daniel Boyes duet of ''I Know Him So Well'', with his own twist. Actually, ''any'' version of this song is a heartstring tugger.
1109** A good number of John's have the same effect, to be honest. Especially ''I Am What I Am''.
1110* Ben E. King's "This Magic Moment"! It may be cliche'd, but it captures the feeling of being in love so perfectly.
1111--> Sweeter than wine
1112--> Softer than a summer's night
1113--> Everything I want, I have
1114--> Whenever I hold you tight
1115* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J95rAr0gOFU "By Your Side" by Tenth Avenue North]] is a beautiful number that is written simply as a love song from Jesus, is a total TearJerker.
1116** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrET4KhgV58 "Oh My Dear"]] as well.
1117** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=IwtcwQwgdsA You Are More]] can bring tears, too, especially if you watch the music video.
1118--> You are more than the choices that you've made\
1119You are more than the sum of your past mistakes\
1120You are more than the problems you create\
1121You've been remade.
1122* "Delaney Talks to Statues" by Jimmy Buffett. Otherwise known as "dawwww!"
1123* Katy Perry, "Teenage Dream"
1124* Queensryche's ''Silent Lucidity''.
1125-->Hush now, don't you cry/Wipe away the teardrops from your eyes...
1126* Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls, especially the songs 'end of an era' and 'open at the close' along with pretty much all their other stuff. So moving, especially for Potter fans. They just capture the essence of the books in song form. Very nostalgic...
1127* "TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside." We've heard it so often that the message is usually taken for granted or mocked as trite and meaningless, but it bears repeating as often as possible, because '''it's true''', 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]].
1128* Music/{{Journey|Band}}'s "Only The Young": During the initial recording sessions for their ''Raised on Radio'' album, the Make A Wish Foundation let Journey know of the plight of Kenny Sykaluk, a young boy in Cleveland dying of cystic fibrosis. Journey flew that day to the boy's bedside, gave him a Walkman with a copy of the then-unreleased "Only The Young" and other memorabilia items. Sykaluk's last conscious action was turning on the Walkman so he could listen to the song. Being at the boy's deathbed greatly affected the bandmembers, to the point that even years later, they'd still break down in tears recalling it.
1129* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wrsZog8qXg "Such Great Heights" by The Postal Service.]]
1130* Roy Orbison was best known for his songs of lost love and broken hearts. But he still had a few songs that were more upbeat, with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDGQ2JNPcPI "Running Scared"]] being among the best examples. It starts slow, his anxiety building over his love's ex-boyfriend. Then he's right there, the tempo building and the song ending with his love turning away from her ex, and leaving with him. The climax being a perfect example of the power and range of The Big O's voice. Goosebumps material.
1131** That's nothing compared to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpgtbcP8-ig You Got It]]. It's one of the purest and most beautiful (yet also the simplest) love songs I've ever heard, and it's very much connected to when I was first falling in love with my partner of over 2 years now. It's also very sad, though, since Roy died not long after its release.
1132** And what about "Oh Pretty Woman". Dear Lord, those last few lines -
1133-->''But wait! What do I see?''
1134-->''Is she walking back to me?''
1135-->''Yeah, she's walking back to me''
1136-->''Oh whoa, pretty woman''
1137That's pretty (no pun intended) heartwarming to me....
1138* Edward Sharp's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjFaenf1T-Y Home]] definitely warms the heart, especially the exchange at 3:12
1139-->'''Alex Ebert:''' Jade?\
1140'''Jade Castrinos :''' Alexander.\
1141'''Alex Ebert:''' Do you remember that day you fell out of my window?\
1142'''Jade Castrinos :''' I sure do, you came jumping out after me.\
1143'''Alex Ebert:''' Well, you fell on the concrete and nearly broke your ass and you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you off to the hospital. Do you remember that?\
1144'''Jade Castrinos :''' Yes, I do.\
1145'''Alex Ebert:''' Well, there�s something I never told you about that night.\
1146'''Jade Castrinos :''' What didn�t you tell me?!\
1147'''Alex Ebert:''' While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was going to be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you and I never told you �til just now.\
1148'''Jade Castrinos (and me):''' DAAAAW!
1149* Bump of Chicken's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yCKjhKc6m8 Laugh Maker]].
1150* Lady Gaga's song "Born This Way". "I'm beautiful in my way, 'cause God makes no mistakes ... Don't hide yourself in regret, just love yourself and you're set. I'm on the right track, baby, I was born this way." The later lines regarding sexual orientation ("No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered-life...") made it even more heartwarming that the song was assuring that "[[UsefulNotes/{{Christianity}} God]] makes no mistakes."
1151* If you like your Heartwarming mixed with some Inspirational and wrapped in a groovy early '70s pop/rock package, you can't do much worse than [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBnSWJHawQQ "Hold Your Head Up" by Argent]]. It's the perfect song to absorb into your system when you're in a situation where you're being bullied or forced to be someone other than who you truly are. "And if they stare, just let them burn their eyes on you moving"? Hell yeah.
1152* Sweetest Goodbye-Maroon 5, was part of this song doesn't warm the heart and give a girl hope.
1153* "My Hands" by Leona Lewis (Yes, the Western theme song for ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'') straddles this and TearJerker. It's pratically the {{Determinator}} love song.
1154* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmL3m2zcoOI ''Two Little Boys'']]
1155--> "Did you think I would leave you dying when there's room on my horse for two?"
1156* How could you forget "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeIPYpHfr4U Drive]]" by Incubus? The message of the song is essentially following your heart and not being lead astray, since you are the one controlling your life. No one else can change that.
1157--> So if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
1158--> Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
1159--> It's driven me before
1160--> And it seems to be the way that everyone else gets around
1161--> But lately I'm beginning to find that
1162--> When I drive myself my light is found
1163
1164--> Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
1165--> With open arms and open eyes yeah
1166
1167--> Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there
1168--> I'll be there
1169* Don't you dare forget [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghZt2cILcCU Marry Me]], by Train.
1170-->Marry me, today and every day
1171-->Marry me, if I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
1172-->Say you will
1173* Kirby Krackle's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuDideHDlsU Dusty Cartridges and Long Boxes]]. For if Music/UpUpDownDown was a little too much.
1174* Music/{{Manowar}}'s song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM5vDvi4mXY Blood Brothers]].
1175-->Think of me wherever you are
1176-->When it seems like you're reaching the end
1177-->Call on me, know in your heart
1178-->On one you can always depend
1179-->I am thy friend
1180* Here are just a few lines from the incredibly beautiful IAMX song, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPNmc71b7iE "Spit It Out"]]:
1181--> And if you're hurting,
1182-->I will replace the noise with silence instead,
1183-->Flushing out your head.
1184-->If you like it violent,
1185-->We can play rough and tumble, fall into bed,
1186-->And I wont breathe so you can recover.
1187-->When you're in pieces,
1188-->Just follow the echo of my voice, it's okay,
1189-->Tune into that frequency.
1190* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0qbnye6Bno Everything'll be alright, be alright, day and night time...]]
1191* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5jlPL1tNDY Lean on me when you're not strong, and I'll be your friend. I'll help you carry on...]]
1192* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPN_M-mrB14 I Fall Asleep]] by K's Choice captures its subject in a way that for anyone feeling the way it describes it can potentially cross the line from a TearJerker to something akin to an arm around the shoulders and an "I understand - it's all right, it's all right...". [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0sy7y54XAE A Better Son/Daughter]] by Music/RiloKiley is another equally-effective side of the same coin.
1193* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J7J_IWUhls The Only Exception]]'' by Paramore is so incredibly sweet.
1194** Especially the music video.
1195* Sanctuary by Music/DeltaGoodrem, makes you think of your real friends and how they saved you.
1196* The BBC versions of Music/LouReed's "Perfect Day" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJpQJWpVJds The original]] featured an orchestra and numerous celebrities singing a line (or two). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OJ7NfJyjMM The live version]] had celebrities, a boy soprano, an orchestra, a guy on drums, three guys on electric guitars, a guy on tinwhstle...and a few choruses of thousands- all over the UK (Plus Dublin and NYC.)
1197* "Who Says" by Music/SelenaGomez. You've got every right to a beautiful life...
1198* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw7ZjO-Nf5Q "We Belong Together"]] from ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3''. However, when paired with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t51XXAEnnbs film's ending credits]], it's either sweet release from bawling your eyes out at the movie's epilogue, or it just makes it a million times worse.
1199* David Gray's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqIFYv1_yHI "Please Forgive Me"]] is such a perfect audiovisual representation of falling in love that it's downright ''painful'' to watch, happy or no. But god ''damn'' does it feel good.
1200* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocDlOD1Hw9k "F**kin' Perfect"]] by P!nk. The basic theme is "don't feel you're worth nothing, because you're perfect to me." Also, the music video implies the singer is saying this to her daughter.
1201** The singer, who at one point in the video is sitting in the tub contemplating slashing her wrists because of a lifetime of abuse. The images are hard for those of us who have dealt with abuse. But the implication that the daughter will not grow up with what the mother did has me in tears every time.
1202* Chris Daughtry's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ92eyxnxmQ&ob=av2e "It's Not Over"]] is about someone who realized how much they screwed up an important relationship and want a second chance to make things right.
1203* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPEBN2dVNUY&ob=av2e For The First Time]] by the Script, a song about finding love in times in adversity. ''Oh, these times are hard -- yeah, they're making us crazy, don't give up on me, baby''...
1204* Night Falls, by the Browne Sisters and George Cavenaugh. It's a woman singing about her sailor husband who has gone out to sea, and his return to her.
1205* Ever-uplifting track [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Isv6btJ2T_E ''The Adventure'']] by Angels And Airwaves.
1206* My Wish by Rascal Flatts
1207-->My wish for you
1208-->Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
1209-->Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
1210-->You never need to carry more than you can hold
1211-->And while you're out there getting where you're getting to
1212-->I hope you know somebody loves you
1213-->And wants the same things too
1214-->Yeah, this is my wish
1215* My childhood was graced in second grade by the work of Mr. Red Grammer. He sings songs about peace and values that every child should learn at a young age. "I Think You're Wonderful", "See Me Beautiful", "Teaching Peace", and "Places In the World". They all just make you wanna smile and do exactly what the song says. To whoever is reading this: I think you're wonderful...
1216* The video for Atomic Kitten's "The Last Goodbye" has the Kittens separated around Liverpool, seeing all sorts of happy couples but feeling isolated and lonely themselves. At the end they find each other and all walk together much happier.
1217* Animal by Music/{{Kesha}} is heartwarming in a tear jerking way.
1218--> ''I am in love''
1219--> ''with what we are''
1220--> ''not what we could be''
1221* Protecting Me and Shine by Aly + Aj, dedicated to the power of friendship and love.
1222* Famous Last Words by Music/MyChemicalRomance.
1223* Also counts as a {{Tearjerker}}, but Music/MyChemicalRomance’s [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=76WJJ57YoG0 The Light Behind Your Eyes]] becomes this when you learn that it was [[https://mobile.twitter.com/i/moments/1037216878589079552 written by Gerard for his (then) newborn daughter]].
1224* Music/EltonJohn's Philadelphia Freedom. And ''Hall and Oates''.
1225* Music/StevieWonder's "Isn't She Lovely", written after the birth of his daughter Aisha:
1226-->Isn't she lovely,
1227-->Isn't she wonderful,
1228-->Isn't she precious,
1229-->Less than one minute old
1230* Music/PattiSmith has a sweet lullabye for her son, "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8rDTkuBbwg The Jackson Song]]", that is also a farewell for her friend Robert Mapplethorpe, who was dying of AIDS.
1231--> Little blue dreamer go to sleep
1232--> Let's close our eyes and call the deep
1233--> Slumbering land that just begins
1234--> When day is done and little dreamers spin...
1235* Music/{{Yellowcard}}'s "Dear Bobbie"
1236-->"Life has led us here
1237-->Together all these years
1238-->This house that we have made
1239-->Holds twenty-thousand days"
1240** "Believe" and "Heaven" are also this trope.
1241* Music/{{Shakira}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRpeEdMmmQ0 ''Wakka Wakka (This Time For Africa)'']]. The whole world stops for one minute to enjoy the game they all love.
1242* Carrie Underwood's "Change"
1243-->"The smallest thing can make all the difference
1244-->Love is alive
1245-->Don't you listen to them when they say
1246-->You're just a fool, just a fool
1247-->To believe you can change the world".
1248* Elizabeth Mitchell's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz6WRiNwujQ&feature=related ''Little Bird,Little Bird'']] Just is Heartwarming. Like a Mother a child singing together, it's so beautiful.
1249* Why are there so many songs about rainbows, and what's on the other side? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSFLZ-MzIhM]]
1250* Shriekback's ''Cradle Song''.
1251--> "May the fire be your friend and the sea rock you gently
1252--> "May the moon light your way 'til the wind sets you free."
1253* A band from Yellowknife, The Gumboots, has as a large part of their repertoire songs about the deep and abiding love for the north that many people from there feel. Anyone who feels that way about their homeland will find many of their songs to be moving.
1254* Nickelback's "Lullaby."
1255* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmL3m2zcoOI Two Little Boys]]'' famously sung by Rolf Harris. Doubles as a {{Tearjerker}}.
1256--> "Did you think I would leave you dying?"
1257* Our Destiny by Music/{{Epica}} is heartwarming because it acknowledges how hard it was to continue after their relationship ended and no matter how hard it was to continue on in the band after Simone and Mark broke up they keep on keepin on because its their destiny to do it.
1258* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcnd55tLCv8 Lullaby (Goodnight My Angel)]]'' by Music/BillyJoel is made of equal parts this and {{Tearjerker}}, as he wrote it when his daughter (7 at the time) asked him what happens after death.
1259-->''Someday we'll all be gone\
1260But lullabyes go on and on...\
1261They never die\
1262That's how you\
1263And I\
1264Will be''
1265* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNrXMOSkBas "Smile, Smile, Smile"]] is undeniably heartwarming even if you aren't a fan of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the show it's from.]]
1266* Runes To My Memory by death metallers Music/AmonAmarth is, despite its loud and brutal sound, very touching especially if you lost someone recently.
1267-->''Here I lie, on wet sand\
1268I will not make it home\
1269I clench my sword in my hand\
1270Say "farewell" to those I love.''
1271* Not actually a song, but a documentary for band known as Anvil called Anvil: The Story Of Anvil. It's impossible to not feel sympathy for those guys. Despite nearly 30 years of playing and being the instigators of one of the most popular form of Metal (Thrash Metal), the band never quite made it and still have to work jobs to make ends meet. Watching this made me run out and want to start up a big-name record company just to give those guys a break.
1272* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDtLpCzKqkQ ''Be Human'']], Yoko Kanno at work.
1273** Also, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxKaa6cEQLY ''Always Be With me In Mind'']], from Shiro Sagisu
1274* The Light by Music/SaraBareilles.
1275* The band ''Flёur'' from Ukraine has about 60% songs made out of this trope.[[note]]Other 40% are either [[TearJerker tearjerkers]] or [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome crowners.]][[/note]] They credited the term "cardiowave", after all.
1276** Even without understanding lyrics, try ''"Shining"'', ''"The Bridge over Misty Bay"'' or ''"Warm Cats"''.
1277* The [[YouAreWorthHell premise]] of Cosmo Jarvis' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dysG12QCdTA "Gay Pirates"]], and [[spoiler: especially the ending]].
1278* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gxjfjj8r98 The Script's "This=Love"]] That's all there is to say about it.
1279* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbMl_bazas8 "I'm gonna take this night/And make it evergreen..."]]
1280* Anthem by Iced Earth, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vz4yIgnFt0&feature=fvst a dedication to the human spirit.]]
1281-->Torn asunder
1282-->Our destiny is in sight
1283-->This is the anthem
1284-->To celebrate your life.
1285* "Caliban's Dream" from the 2012 London UsefulNotes/OlympicGames. Hearing it played as seven young athletes carried the torch to the Olympic cauldron made it especially meaningful.
1286* Creator/EmilyOsment's beautiful "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VXqrm8rfxY You Get Me Through]]", from her underlooked ''Fight Or Flight'' album. Written in tribute to her mother.
1287--> I only wanted to thank you for telling me just how it is
1288-->Never knew what to believe in till I heard the words straight from your lips
1289-->I only wanted to ask you not to give up on me yet
1290-->And I'll find my way through the darkness as long as your voice is there in my head
1291
1292-->You get me through
1293-->You help me get by
1294-->You speak the truth
1295-->When everything else is a lie
1296* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci6drVkSHTg Brother]]" by Toad the Wet Sprocket. It's just ''beautiful''.
1297* Solange Knowles' song "6 O'Clock Blues" from her album, "Sol Angel and the Hadley Sweet Dreams", which is dedicated to her son, Daniel Smith.
1298-->As long as we got each other
1299-->There's nothing in the world that can steal my joy
1300-->Yeah, As long as we got each other
1301-->We can overcome the badness of the world
1302* Imagine Dragons with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0idI4WiGSg It's Time.]] "Don't you understand/I'm never changing who I am"
1303* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYBMbm_GXNY Strays]], by Tim Kasher, in which a man tells his significant other just how much he loves her, and reassures her that what he has with her is truly all he could ever want. "We're a family of strays, but together we've been found."
1304* Music/TheClash's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuYzsrYSQx4 Stay Free]], about a lifelong friendship. The song is like a hug, and especially around big changes like graduations, when you feel the need to be reminded that your friends are sticking with you always.
1305* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3sN--beKWI ''Forevermore'']] by Katie Herzig is surprisingly good at bringing a happy tear to your eyes.
1306-->I will wear will wear a white dress, you will paint a sunset
1307-->Life will be a love fest, that's how it all begins
1308-->Say say, oh playmate, come out and play with me
1309-->And bring your dollies three, climb up my apple tree
1310-->Slide down my rainbow, into my cellar door
1311-->And we'll be jolly friends forever more
1312* Macklemore's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlVBg7_08n0 Same Love]]. One of the most beautiful, honest, and gutsy songs about LGBT equality.
1313-->It may not be the same but that's not important
1314-->No freedom 'til we're equal
1315-->Damn right I support it
1316* The debut album for the rock band Music/BlackVeilBrides, We Stitch These Wounds, contains a beautifully written song titled [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bFHKBCz-ml0 Carolyn]]. The song, while keeping in the band's overall message of BeYourself and unity, is dedicated to the band's lead guitarist Jake Pitts. He wrote the song for his mother, who he was very close to and looked to her as a musical inspiration, who at the time was dealing with severe illness. Essentially the song says, at times life is hard. It's difficult and sometimes it's hard to keep going, but know that you aren't dealing with this alone, we will get through this together. Even if you aren't a fan of the band, you can't deny the love that went into making this song. Anyone dealing with hard times can listen to this song and feel uplifted by the chorus:
1317-->You're not alone
1318-->We'll brave this storm
1319-->And face today
1320-->You're not alone
1321** The song also counts as a {{Tearjerker}} when you learn that his mom died in 2014.
1322* Rilo Kiley's song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0sy7y54XAE A Better Son/Daughter]] is a song about getting better, about struggling and making it through, and mostly about hope. Raw, unshielded hope. We're talking 'find your inner fire', YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre, SoProudOfYou hope and encouragement and inner strength.
1323-->You'll be positive though it hurts
1324-->And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
1325-->... You'll be happy
1326* The soundtrack to Film/HomewardBoundTheIncredibleJourney. The music fills out the heartwarming storyline admirably, and it itself can make you cry at points.
1327* [[TrueArtIsAngsty Surprisingly]], Music/{{Mothy}} has a few of these, the most notable being [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaE0ylZeoJs these]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f0ljVok71U two]]. And they're an epic TearJerker, too...
1328* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5fLRRklByI Anything]] by Hedley. It's very upbeat, and it basically makes you want to say-- ... well, "Uh-uh, fuck that; I can do anything."
1329* Aaron Lewis, frontman of Staind, called "Tangled Up In You" the 'sappiest song' he's ever written, but for anyone listening who's in a long-time relationship, that song is anything but narm. Anyone celebrating a milestone anniversary should skip the Hallmark card and just cue that song up.
1330* Let's face it, the vast majority of [[AwardBaitSong Award Bait Songs]] could classify.
1331* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfsS3pIDBfw Hands]], by Jewel
1332--> Poverty stole your golden shoes
1333--> It didn't steal your laughter
1334--> And heartache came to visit me
1335--> But I knew it wasn't ever after
1336* Jason Derulo's "Marry Me". Almost on-par with "[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Love is in Bloom]]" as a song that basically screams "PLAY ME AT A WEDDING!!!!!!".
1337--> And you know one of these days when I get my money right
1338--> Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life
1339--> We'll forever be in love, so there ain't no need to rush
1340--> But one day I won't be able to ask you loud enough
1341--> I'll say, "Will you marry me?"
1342* Little girl singing national anthem at a hockey game has microphone trouble, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsNxdOm-8gE crowd picks up slack.]]
1343* The Pretenders' "I'll Stand By You".
1344-->''Won't let nobody hurt you. I'll stand by you.''
1345* Tom Paxton's "The Marvellous Toy," especially the last verse where he passes on his beloved childhood toy to his son, who loves it immediately just like the narrator did as a boy.
1346* [[Creator/NickBertke Pogo]]'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwvflO3QKrI "Muppet Mash"]] is unbearably heartwarming in the [[NostalgiaFilter nostalgic sense]]. Just listen to it. It doesn't matter whether or not you've been a long-time fan of the show.
1347* ... Where is Jack Johnson? With bubbly, cute fun songs like "Better Together", "Flake", "Banana Pancakes", "Angel", "Bubbly Toes", and "Upside Down" this guy literally oozes with feel good songs.
1348* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSIHK94IFiM "Let It All Out"]] by Fukuhara Miho from [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]] series. It is one of the ending themes. It's a song about how, even though life is hard and there are things that are so hard to deal with, it is okay to not know who you are, it is okay to have other people help you when you stumble, and, most importantly, there will always be hope. This pretty much the emotional catharsis of Brotherhood and this is what helped forever cement my love for this anime.
1349* Ben Harper has a lovely gem called "Waiting on An Angel".
1350* Spandau Ballet's "True". What more needs to be said?
1351* Israel Kamakawiwo'ole did an amazing cover/medley of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9b3_1CcXtY "Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World"]]. If you are ever having a bad day, just hum even the first few measures of this song and you will feel amazing.
1352* American Author's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYj40-cZ5vI Believer]] is a song that speaks for itself.
1353--> I'm just a believer that things will get better
1354--> Some can take it or leave it
1355--> But I don't wanna let it go
1356* "Save Me" by Gotye. Who knew that a song about coping with depression could be uplifting and positive?
1357-->And you gave me...love
1358-->When I could not love myself
1359-->And you made me...turn
1360-->From the way I saw myself
1361-->And you're patient...love
1362-->And you help me help myself
1363-->And you save me...
1364-->And you save me...
1365-->And you save me...
1366* Watsky's ''Cardboard Castles'' is a bittersweet song with some [[TearJerker tearjerking]] moments of its own, but there's optimism there, too.
1367-->This life's our greatest project
1368-->The journey's all an art
1369-->But I built my perfect nest, and it's 'bout to fall apart
1370-->Again and again and then I just I make it twice as high
1371-->And I give my tower teeth, and I watch it bite the sky
1372-->Because I might just cry if I don't keep it moving
1373-->I focus on what I can make and not what just got ruined
1374-->'Cause every stone will crumble down to dust, to dust, to dust
1375** And later in the song:
1376-->I still gotta believe people
1377-->Are good at the core
1378-->'Cause if we weren't, what's at stake?
1379-->Why would we stay to break what we make
1380-->And create all these beautiful mistakes?
1381-->When they blow our house down let's draw on the walls, the walls, the walls
1382** "Never Let it Die" is an upbeat, uplifting song meant to inspire people to do what they love and live up to all their potential. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSaA8PnPM44 music video]] just makes it better with the children in the art museum.
1383-->'Cause to love is a radical act, give your brother a pat on the back
1384-->And if you get a panic attack, feel like you're at the back of the pack
1385-->An opinion's exactly that. If they say that your magic is black
1386-->Just do what you do when you do what you do, keep on pulling that rabbit from hat
1387-->You might think that you're ruined. You might think you're defeated.
1388-->If you love what you're doing, you've already succeeded.
1389-->But there's gonna be bleeding, when another one bites that dust
1390-->So get ready to beat it, 'cause maybe it might be us, and I'm telling 'em
1391-->That the journey is oh so slow, and we wanna say "no no no"
1392-->Cause to make it is difficult, but we go go go
1393-->And my father was telling me that I better be ready ride on through
1394-->Cause I know that it's tough, but it's gotta be somebody, so then why not you?
1395** ''Sarajevo'' is a TearJerker, but it's really about how ThePowerOfLove conquers anything, even religion.
1396** The end of the ''Hey Asshole'' music video when Watsky shrugs off his depression and moves on with his life.
1397** ''Cannonball'' is an intense and beautiful love poem.
1398--> "I'm so far from perfect...so far it's been worth it."
1399** The chorus of ''Sloppy Seconds'', a sweet, lighthearted love song. It's all about being willing to love someone not ''despite'' their flaws and their baggage and their history, but ''because'' of them.
1400--> "And there is not a single place that I would rather be...I'm fucked up just like you are and you're fucked up just like me."
1401* Music/AndyGrammer's "Honey, I'm Good" is already heartwarming on it's own--the singer is basically refusing to go home with a pretty girl because he's already taken, no infidelity here--but the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go7gn6dugu0 official music video]] adds to it by showcasing several happy couples that have been together for several years or even ''decades''.
1402** What else would you expect from the son of Red Grammer (see above)?
1403** "Fresh Eyes". It's a bubbly, guitar-driven tune about one day just seeing your loved one in a new light...and falling in love all over again.
1404--> So, suddenly, I'm in love with a stranger
1405--> I can't believe she's mine
1406--> Now all I see is you with fresh eyes, fresh eyes
1407* All of the songs sang by the [[Music/{{Schnuffel}} adorable bunny character]] [[BunniesForCuteness Snuggle Bunny (Schnuffel)]] created Jamster in 2007. But special mention goes to the song "Snuggle Song","Sleepy Snuggle", and "I love you so". If you are planning on lessening to any of these songs; be sure to bring a bottle of insulin with you.
1408** Jamster later created another bunny character in 2010 named Snuggelina (Schnuffelienchen) who is Snuggle's girlfriend. As if Snuggle's songs weren't sweet enough. Snuggelina had two songs about how much she loves him complete with doves. Her debut song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPFjA_fYDFw "Kiss Me Hold Me Love Me"]] featured her singing about love and is seen hugging a plush version of her boyfriend. In the 2014 song [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiITEDF4c1U "Without You" (Ohne Dich)]] she sings about how she feels when Snuggle is away from where she lives at but near the end of the song Snuggle gives her a call telling her how much she missed her to. This song can count as a TearJerker since it can be relateable to a person who misses someone far away from home or if they are on vacation and how lonely they feel.
1409** The song "Bunny Buddy" sang by Snuggle is heartwarming since it's dedicated to people who take very good care of there pet bunnies or for some who have a great relationship. Then there's this closing statement by Snuggle.
1410-->Thank you, my old bunny buddy.
1411* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErJUBjzKWwU "Someone Like You"]] by RAM and Susana, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeTpvzdXsyA the remix]] between RAM and Standerwick. The follow-up to [[{{Tearjerker}} "RAMelia (Tribute to Amelia)"]] that really touches the heart while taking the sound of uplifting {{trance}} to full force.
1412* You like Music/LennyKravitz' "Fly Away?" How about when it's sung by a high school choir?? Okay, how about when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBgZNINN6MU Lenny Kravitz himself crashes said choir's practice,]] making for the most excited jam session ever?
1413* How are there no entries by Rose Cousins? Her songs are so gentle, passionate, and moving. While a majority fall into the [[TearJerker Tear Jerker]] territory, she has heartwarmers such as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5GDT1YTTXo Home]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTUV87i3fig Good Enough]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKHXBVF51yQ Dance If You Want To]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uP7t8PDzVh8 One Love]].
1414* "Philosophy" by [[Music/BenFolds Ben Folds Five]], which basically is about a narrator sticking behind his philosophy of building something up from nothing when everyone else laughs at him.
1415* Similarly, Music/KaceyMusgraves' "Follow Your Arrow," which is all about following your own path and not letting others tell you how to act.
1416-->Make lots of noise
1417-->Kiss lots of boys
1418-->Or kiss lots of girls [[NotThatTheresAnythingWrongWithThat (if that's something you're into)]]
1419-->When the straight and narrow gets a little too straight
1420-->Roll up a joint (or don't)
1421-->Just follow your arrow wherever it points.
1422* After the Pulse nightclub shooting in June 2016, Music/JenniferLopez and Creator/LinManuelMiranda duetted on the charity song "Love Make the World Go Round". Its message is simple-love conquers all and evil will never win. The crowner is how it samples part of Lin-Manuel's Tony acceptance speech.
1423--> And love is love is love is love is love...
1424* 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 SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic.
1425* James Arthur's "Say You Won't Let Go." When all you want to do is be with someone for the rest of your life... and beyond.
1426* Music/RebaMcEntire's song "Somebody" starts out being about a man sharing his dating troubles with a waitress at his favorite diner. She tells him that he may be surprised to find the love of his life might be right in front of him and he never noticed. The chorus goes on to talk about how the perfect person could be someone you walk past every day and just haven't really met yet. As the man is taking the elevator in his apartment complex, he notices "that blue-eyed girl from two floors up" and wonders if she could be the one the waitress meant. The third verse makes it abundantly clear though that:
1427--> Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
1428--> The moment they both missed until that day
1429--> When he saw his future in her eyes
1430--> Instead of just another friendly face
1431--> And he wonders why
1432--> He searched so long
1433--> [[WhamLine When she was always there]]
1434--> [[WhamLine At that diner waiting on...]]
1435* Tina Charles' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e1Ti6-DKDk I Love to Love (But My Baby Just Loves to Dance)]], that is all.
1436* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT8cX2-_7pQ "Danny Don't You Know"]] by Music/NinjaSexParty, where young Danny is visited by his future self to give him a pep talk about how awesome he is and how he has a bright future ahead of him. It's an excellent reminder for anyone going through a hard time that it won't be bad forever.
1437* Family are not the first band you think of when you think of heartwarming, but consider the first verse to "Children":
1438-->Children can you laugh me\
1439All your young life's meaning\
1440Playing as you do, I feel that the truth\
1441It's in you.
1442* Minnie Riperton's "Les Fleur" is pure heartwarming fuel. 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''.
1443* In the middle of Music/LordHuron's ''Vide Noir'' album, which is for the most part dark even by Lord Huron's standard, there is ''Back From The Edge'', a song about a man who ''almost'' died.
1444-->I came back from the edge — where you go when you die
1445-->I fell back down to Earth through a hole in the sky
1446--> I crashed into the sea, [[NoSell then somehow I survived]]
1447--> Don’t know what to believe, [[UnexplainedRecovery but I know I’m alive.]]
1448* The HighFantasy song [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kDiiJd7uFaw March Against The Tyrant]] by Music/RhapsodyOfFire, despite being about [[TheSiege siege warfare]], sounds absolutely gorgeous
1449--> When all seems so lost, The will can change your hope
1450--> [[BigDamnHeroes A Warrior I know from the east now is coming]]
1451--> [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe He'll help us 'cause I spared his life]]
1452-->[[GoodIsNotSoft Like earthquake and storm we will scorch all this earth]]
1453--> And together we'll push deep the knife
1454--> [[EvilOverlord The Tyrant]] [[KarmicDeath tonight surely dies.]]
1455--> ...
1456--> Freedom for the brave, hand-to-hand's what we crave
1457--> Ridin' for the land so these rocks will turn to sand
1458--> Freedom for a world where oppression and pain
1459--> Are just forgotten words of the [[AbusivePrecursors Nephilim's empire]]
1460--> The tales will recall this glorious day
1461* Music/JohnLegend's "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=450p7goxZqg All Of Me]]", a sweet love song that'll call up plenty of fuzzies as the singer promises his beloved that he adores her no matter what flaws or down periods she may have. He also performed a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwsYvBYZcx4 duet version]] with Music/LindseyStirling. Bonus: The official music video features his wife, Chrissy Teigen for whom he wrote the song.
1462* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOxHNAe2Xpc From Beyond the Grave]]'' by Bloody Hammers. A man dies but becomes a ghost and swears that he will figure out how to visit the still living woman he loves. It ''should'' be scary but instead it's just a little sad and ''[[TogetherInDeath extremely]]'' [[DiedHappilyEverAfter heartwarming]].
1463--> I will find the means to materialize, another chance to see your fascinating eyes.
1464* "I'll Never Go", a mellow pop song by Erik Santos that [[InsecureLoveInterest reassures the singer's beloved of his feelings]] and tells her that he'll never be very far away from her.
1465* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEph7LI7iCk I Knead You]]", about how cats may not be able to talk, but they love their owners just the same.
1466* The Red Army Choir may help make money with which to fund the invasion of Ukraine, but before said invasion began it helpfully produced [[https://youtu.be/P1-wf3GruO8 a rendition]] of "Gandzya", a Ukrainian folk love song, that is nothing like its usual ominous [=and/or=] melancholic fare. It's positively ''blithe''. And it's even in Ukrainian!
1467* Tony Bennett's vision of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52k3YdzNPJo "If I Ruled the World"]]. The song shows a world filled with beauty, love, and dignity, with a voice and orchestral arrangement (courtesy of Don Costa) that display both warmth and grandeur.
1468----
1469* With the coronavirus pandemic causing lockdowns and social isolations all over the planet, musicians from America and Britain team up in the One World: Together At Home concert to entertain people and give hope in the crisis.
1470** Music/LadyGaga who curated the broadcast [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cCNM706Iv8M gives a performance of Smile]]
1471** Music/{{The Rolling Stones|Band}} [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N7pZgQepXfA reunite to perform “You Can’t Always Get What You Want]]
1472** Music/{{John Legend}} and Music/{{Sam Smith}} [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nxj4y9c9KiA perform “Stand By Me”]]
1473** [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4vgfBJhlEEo Stevie Wonder both honours his late friend Bill Withers and gives hope to the world in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.]]
1474* With the [[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic COVID-19 pandemic]] inflicting uncertainty, fear and extremely radical changes, Celeste also offers a [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ENYFCYcEHa4 rendition of a classic song by the late Bill Withers to give hope to the UK.]]
