Line #20 TearJerker/MiracleOfSound


1	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzlGgybMPn8 The Best I Can]] is very heartfelt and sad, and prone to dig up some memories if you played the [[VideoGame/TheWalkingDead Walking Dead]] game.
2	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnbPGqEqTIQ Wasteland Soul]] is pretty heart-rending, too.
3	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV48aAF5AcM Redemption Blues]] is a melancholy song about the departure of the spirit of the Wild West and John Marston's increasingly narrowing place in the world; for those who played ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'', it's hard not to feel for the tired, jaded, quietly disillusioned man singing the song, with only one thing left to live for.
4	** Gavin [[https://youtu.be/Mnu_1U-Wgzs remade the song]] in 2018, and the accompanying music video ends with [[spoiler: John Marston's HeroicSacrifice and subsequent funeral]].
5	* Building on the above, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma7176Uw7Sw Setting Sun.]] Told from the point of view of [[VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2 Arthur Morgan]] [[spoiler:as he's dying from tuberculosis and]] before the gang falls apart, it really shows just how broken both Morgan '''and''' Marston were when the gang fell apart.
6	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvYi1MRvX_o The Day The World Died]] is possibly as soul-crushingly depressing as Gav's work gets. It's sung in a raspy, breathy style that only accents the hopeless and bleak setting of ''VideoGame/{{Metro 2033}}'' and ''VideoGame/MetroLastLight''. As noted [[WordOfGod in its official description]], it is "A musical tribute to man's eternal folly."
7	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO0xQD0e2_4 Nameless]] is a slow, melancholy lament of the Nameless One's state.
8	* [[https://youtu.be/ebF6Fqhq1P4 Beauty Bleak]] is pretty melancholy, managing to get across the utter ruination of the [[VideoGame/{{Fallout3}} Fallout]] universe with only three actual lines and a lot of understated instrumentation.
9	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTY9JimeXuw Some Thing's Never Change]] for is a sadder one, showing the great things man has done, but only to let it all come crashing down because we forgot the lessons and pains of the past. "♫''Why do we never change?''♫"
10	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsgEPtrpfps Resistance]]'s first lines come after a slow and melancholy instrumental beginning, appropriate to the AlternateHistory setting of ''VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder'', in which Nazi Germany has won World War 2 and taken over the world. Lapses during choruses, in which the song changes to a more determined tone.
11	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvfC109XyYA The Man Who Rocked The World]] is a tribute to Music/DavidBowie.
12	* [[https://youtu.be/0-8vp4akcPc Fires Far]] and [[https://youtu.be/u8faH18iOJg Forever Flame]], despite having heavy metal influences, are ultimately about the futility of the ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' universe and how you are an insignificant bug compared to some of the forces you have to go up against. Can wrap-around to being the good kind of TearJerker since the player characters still struggle and persevere on despite this, which is a secondary theme of these songs and the series in general.
13	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR0kg8MBjZg Dream of Goodbye]] is mostly a rock song about fighting against your fate, but the final minute dives straight into tearjerker territory. [[spoiler: It takes place from [[VideoGame/BioshockInfinite Elizabeth's]] perspective in Paris, desperately trying to forget her past.]]
14	* [[https://youtu.be/hmX1NlxYt_k Pawns of War]] It's an anthem about the fallen of UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, a beautiful, very powerful and tearjerking song.
15	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYzXKZn_Z3w Machine Heart]] is a mournful cry by the main characters if ''VideoGame/NierAutomata'' trying to understand why they are trapped in an endless cycle of misery and why they feel sorrow despite their nature.
16	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sAxhu04SlM Liquid Nights and Disco Lights]] is distinctly disco on the surface, but an examination of the lyrics reveals that it's actually [[VideoGame/DiscoElysium the Detective]] lamenting his lost memories and ruminating on all the paths ahead of him... and their meaninglessness in absence of a past.
17	-->''I can't recall a thing, [[WistfulAmnesia so why do I feel so sad?]]''
18	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEB-i8FRRc0 Through Life And Loss]] and ''especially'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOI5a6PBQi4 When Forever Comes]] are tearjerkers from beginning to end. The former still captures the [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake deep tragedy present in the story]] despite its rollicking alternative rock beats, while the latter is all about Aerith, the most tragic character by far in a game chock full of tragic characters.
