I don't know too many other Vaughan Williams pieces

Wowow! That was absolutely gorgeous, by the way! Thank you so, so, so very much! I have another piece to add to my list! Too bad there were voice overs D:... [And I didn't watch the video until I realized that there were voices :O!]

Anywhom, try these:

Hearing Jónsi sing live moved me to tears.

This song always makes me cry. I cried more during 0.55 min. My dad was a Persian Gulf War Veteran.

I usually get emotions from the music rather than the lyrics. That's why they're mostly instrumental.

Awesome, nostalgic, and beautiful piano work from Richard D. James

I can't describe the feeling this gives me but it's a feeling of maturity and happiness; being able to savor the good things in life.

Saved the best for last. This is the most emotional and tear-jerking song I've ever heard, if only for the sheer overwhelming emotion the music gives you.

"The Wanderer" by Johnny Cash

I find it "Katbatic" - Sad and melancholic, but encouraging compassion.

Faithless is good for it occasionally as well. Max definitely rolls deep.

"Down There By The Train" by Tom Waits

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umslQIaX4pM[/youtube]

Don't know why but the line that always gets me is:

There's no eye for an eye, there's no tooth for a tooth /
I saw Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth.

I guess the thing I like about the song is the sense of forgiveness for whomever you are.
