Music makes me feel feelings

I decided to compile a list of songs or albums that usually evoke an emotional response from me.

Cry -- Godley and Creme
Believe it or not, this song doesn't make me cry.



I just wasn't made for these times -- The Beach Boys
I cried the first time I heard this song.




Koyaanisqatsi -- Phillip Glass.
No explanation necessary.




The Dark Crystal: Overture from the Motion Picture -- Larry Hopkins.
This makes me nostalgic and causes me to think of watching The Dark Crystal with my dad when I was 6.




Mother Earth's Plantasia -- Mort Garson.
If you listen to only one album I've selected, let it be this one.
LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM IN ITS ENTIRETY IN ONE SITTING. Don't just listen to part of it. Carve out 29 minutes and 44 seconds where you can just sit tight and enjoy the whole thing. This album evokes (positive) complex feelings in me that I can't explain.
