same here, one of my all-time favourite films. for the love of god, all of you watch Mulholland Drive and see for yourself how powerful this scene is when the rest of the film comes together.

since we've had a few a capella solos in this thread, here's one i fell in love with recently. the song itself, and the reason it hits me so hard, might need a trigger warning.

where to even begin

Eyeless In Gaza - Others

Carpet - Selene

The Angels of Light - All Souls' Rising

Swans - Eden Prison

Anders Ilar - Remember (Ambient Mix)

Anodyne - Illusion of Gods (Lackluster Remix)

i was just thinking about bach's music and how he's probably responsible for the most heartbreaking tunes in existence imo. not that i know his music well, i really don't. can't provide an example.

Crucifixus bro.

And the D minor Chaconne for violin.

-cries-

Crying to music is my favorite thing.

Does listening to Autechre actually make people here cry?

Ok.

Coupla great Autechre tracks mentioned too.. I'll add this - altibzz

Lynch/Badalamenti definitely have a few contenders - this one almost got me at the end of Twin Peaks

Also this all depends on context and sometimes the story/moment you associate with a track. Here's a few other emo/ambient faves

Locust - Moist Moss

O.S.T. - YYY

Popol Vuh - Aguirre I

Fennesz - Rivers of Sand

Brian Eno - An Ending

Leyland Kirby - My Dream Contained A Star

Kettel - America Video

Less Than Zero

John Foxx - Oceanic

David Sylvian - Darkest Dreaming

Lexaunculpt - Anburl 6

Prayer - Hesitate

Great soundtrack and track <3, I'd really like to get a copy. Julian's Dead is probably my pick from that album 

While this Max Richter track is overused, with the right context and timing  it has the power to bring about an excess of the black bile, and elicit a tear. 

 Too big nostalgia feels 

first track. does put in a state of complete absorption  into reality, past- present-future.

“I think the tough times are finally behind me. There'll always be bad things, but... my life is good. It is as I want it to be. It's good. It's good being here with you.”

bunch of emotional fucks here..

yeh, i love you all!..

forgot this. thought what will instantly bring a tear to my eye (context of film squares emotional response by 100)
