* "Crown of Love" and "Wake Up". A one-two punch in the album order.
* "My Body Is A Cage" has always been a tearjerker. It's even more of a ''triumphant'' one when Music/PeterGabriel performs it.
* Off their first EP, "Vampire/Forest Fire". At approximately 5 minutes in, it just... takes off.
* The entire album of ''Funeral'' is legendary for this.
* The entirety of ''Neon Bible'' comes close.
* The later albums have their moments, including (but ''definitely'' not limited to) "Windowsill," "Suburban War," "Half Light II," and "Sprawl I."
* "The Suburbs (continued)" deserves special mention. Since it forms a bookend with the first track on the album, it calls back the original lyrics of "moving past the feeling". One has the impression that despite all the musings on friendship, growing up, and life, you are in the end very much alone. It's powerful stuff.
* The fanbase knows "Ocean Of Noise" as one of the band's biggest tearjerkers. It's not just the lyrics, it's beautiful instrumentation.
