The theme from Spirited Away, makes me feel sad and miss my childhood. And this live performance by the composer is already full of emotion as it is.

YouTube does justice to neither song, but hopefully the emotion comes across to you nonetheless.

Suggestions of Classical are a bonus since I own very little of that (unfortunately)

 

 
 
 
 
German (original):
 
 Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen,
 Mit der ich sonst viele Zeit verdorben,
 Sie hat so lange nichts von mir vernommen,
 Sie mag wohl glauben, ich sei gestorben!
 
 Es ist mir auch gar nichts daran gelegen,
 Ob sie mich für gestorben hält,
 Ich kann auch gar nichts sagen dagegen,
 Denn wirklich bin ich gestorben der Welt.
 
 Ich bin gestorben dem Weltgetümmel,
 Und ruh' in einem stillen Gebiet!
 Ich leb' allein in meinem Himmel,
 In meinem Lieben, in meinem Lied!
 
 
English (translation):
 
 I am lost to the world
 with which I used to waste so much time,
 It has heard nothing from me for so long
 that it may very well believe that I am dead!
 
 It is of no consequence to me
 Whether it thinks me dead;
 I cannot deny it,
 for I really am dead to the world.
 
 I am dead to the world's tumult,
 And I rest in a quiet realm!
 I live alone in my heaven,
 In my love and in my song!

I get tears of sadness when I listen to the song My Lady's Story. It's by Antony And The Johnsons from the album Cut The World.
 
On the other side of the spectrum, evoking tears of joy, and making the hairs on back of neck stand up, Save The Bees by Lau from the album Race The Loser.

I love the Cut The World album too but the main Antony and the Johnsons song which brings a tear to my eye is Fistful of Love from I am a bird now. Amazingly powerful lyrics.
 
One tune which makes me very emotional is Spared from the Eternal Light: A Requiem album. The music is by Howard Goodall and the words are by the poet Wendy Cope. It is about 9-11 which Goodall witnessed.
