Songs that make you tear up
-
I've been listening to some Final Fantasy stuff in the background while I do things around the house, and there are certain ones that just hit really close to home. I don't know if it's my relation to them as a kid, or how their stories and characters make me feel, but certain songs just bring that misty-eyed feel that is hard to articulate and describe.
Many of the Final Fantasy VII and IX tracks do this for me, especially the overworld themes. Chrono Cross also has some excellent tracks that give me pause.
They bring back a simpler time to me, in a sense. And when they play, it brings back a flood of these positive feelings; going on adventures in fantasy worlds without the constraints that come alongside them nowadays like review scores or income. So for a second, I'm allowed to return to that time, and just live for the adventure again.
What songs do this for you, and give you that guarded place of safety, happiness and comfort?

@brannox I second the Ori soundtrack. Masterpiece. I even prefer it over the Amazing 10/10 FF7 Remake soundrack.
-
@paulmci27 I still prefer Remake's but only by a slim margin. Both are phenomenal to me.

The best ending to a game I've played is accompanied by an instrumental version of this absolute gem of a song that makes it so incredibly memorable.

Yasunori Mitsuda gets me every time. This was actually the track that made me go out and buy the game (which is a common practice I'm less proud of). It sort of reminds me of Hisaishi's Ghibli tracks
