Billy Joel - "Everybody Has a Dream"
and Pachelbel's Canon.
"If You Could Read My Mind" is the only guaranteed tear jerker.
However, it's notable that I cried with sheer delight when I heard the first few notes of "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" in Billy's live show.

"long winding road" and "How?" sound really similar. i tried listening to "If you could read my mind" but couldn't cause YT is being a bitch atm..
Though it doesn't make me cry i find Kurt Vile "Baby's arms" to be very emotionally powerful. especially if you just had a breakup or miss your gf.
the studio version though doesn't move me though, it's his is solo acoustic rendition that does it for me
