Have any songs made you feel strong emotions?

I talk about this song a lot because it quickly became my favorite ever since it released last june but the first few days I listened to it I really ended up crying at the end, or at least being moved to tears. Now I listen to it so often I don't think much about it, but if I were to really focus on the meaning of the lyrics I'm sure I could bring up some tears again.
There’s a few…
I usually save this song for special moments when I’m in a very good mood, which unfortunately isn’t often. It’s definitely one of the strongest feel-good songs I’ve ever heard, and I don’t want its novelty to wear off by overplaying it. I first heard it in middle school back when I began my music library collection, and it made me shed happy tears, so you could say that I’ve followed my limit pretty well.
One of three Coldplay songs on this post. This one sounds the happiest, but it’s actually about the singer suffering through unrequited love and trying to win someone over as best as they can. It sort of makes me want to compose a serenade of my own.
I put this one on if I’m in a very down mood. Yes, it depressing at first, but it does get better later on. It’s about someone who is heavily depressed and wants to take their own life, but is reminded by a friend that they are not alone and that there are still positives to think about, even if they cannot be easily thought of.
This one’s somewhat in the middle in terms of mood. The lyrics make it more obvious that the singer wants to help someone in dire mental need, and the second half becomes a bit more perkier. Nonetheless, it makes me tear up every time I hear it.
The best place to play this song is alone in my room, late at night, while I close my eyes and create dreamy images in my mind. It puts me in a “do not disturb” zone that makes me feel comfortable, and I believe the instrumentation enables me to.

This one’s more of an honorable mention if anything. It used to release some emotion from me in the past, though hearing it in pop culture stuff one too many times caused that novelty to wear off.
I’ll have to continue looking for more when I have the time.

Alright I know this sounds really stupid but no joke as a kid when I played this game this song from the Adventure Time world made me tear up a little lol.
Well, I found a different song that made me cry today, mainly for personal reasons which I won't go into detail on.
"mint tears" by ribbon rooms, I listened to this before but it didn't make me tear up until now. I know the lyrics are in Japanese, but looking at the English translation, it just feels so sad. :^(

I’m just going to leave this here. I don’t think I need to explain why I’m posting it.

Also…”Rockin Around the Christmas Tree” is the worst Christmas song I have ever heard. I feel more annoyance with that one that any others, honestly. As soon as it comes on the radio, I switch it off! (Unless I’m in a store or something…then I have to endure it.)

This song is such a jam but it always puts a pit in my stomach. I feel bad for dogs that have been bred to have traits that are detrimental to their health, especially now that they don't even perform the tasks those traits were initially bred for

So many songs, so many different emotions.
One that really energizes me is Wolf Totem by The HU. (Not the one featuring jacoby shaddix, but the original). Almost anything by the HU is super motivating when I need to get things done.
A couple that make me sad are by Queen. Who wants to live forever, and These are the days of our lives.
I might revisit this thread to add more.

I usually only listen to songs that reflect my current mood, when I'm even in the mood to listen to music. So I guess they don't make me feel strong emotions, they just enhance the ones I'm already feeling.
Recently, I discovered a song called "The Greatest Love of All" through reading a book that parodied the lyrics, and it made me shed tears when I listened to it for the first time. I don't know why, maybe it was the part about the children or the lines at the end. (FYI, I listened to the original version, and then Whitney Houston's cover.)

I never noticed it, but there are a lot of songs that make me feel intense emotions!
I don't listen to many songs from Les Cowboys Fringnants, but the ones I do know are very depressing, especially Le fin du show. Plus rien and L'Amérique pleure are also depressing. I may or may not have teared up while listening to these songs. (Fun fact: For extra credit in French class, I printed out the lyrics of these songs and manually translated/analyzed the songs. I'm glad I did because it gave me a better understanding of their music.)
When I was younger, I would cry every time I listened to the song "See You Again". As a child I moved between areas/schools quite often, so I would never be able to interact with my friends from my old schools and I dearly missed them. The song really hit home for me as a kid. (I feel fine listening to it now, though.)
Certain Zelda songs made me emotional and cry. When I listened to the Ocarina of Time title theme, I teared up. When I listen to BotW music, I feel a huge pang of nostalgia. I cried during Mipha's Theme the most, and I get goosebumps every time I listen to the BotW theme.
I learned that you experience euphoria when listening to music - I feel very pumped up/energized when I'm listening to a good metal song. The more heavy and aggressive, the better. \m/

Seconded. I like my music to be upbeat and cheerful--even hardcore and intense at times. ^_^
Music has a way to make me feel like ****, but it also has a way to make me feel on top of the world.
Lately the one that gets to me the most is How Do I Say Goodby -- Dean Lewis, my dad's health has been declining over the last few years and this song just hits me like a ton of bricks every time it comes on, I have to skip it if it ever comes on while I'm driving.
Other than that, Gregorian Chanting puts me at such ease and peace. I'm not very religious at all, so I have no idea how I stumbled upon it, but I'm glad I did. It does wonders for helping me regulate my nervous system.
Occasionally, whenever I listen to songs I used to listen to on repeat during my childhood, they make me feel extremely nostalgic for the days past, even if at the time they didn't really invoque any strong emotions.

The first time I listened to The New Moon by David Childs for choir I lost it, it hit me like a sack of bricks. The lyrics really hit hard as I was dealing with severe (and untreated) depression and anxiety at the time. Definitely recommend giving it a listen!

Most recently-ish I came across the songs "Always Tomorrow" by Tokyo Tea Room and "Radio" by Freak Slug on Spotify and they made me feel ultra relaxed if that counts?? It was weird
I don't think a song has ever made me cry though. Movies/shows/books don't make me cry either (though i have gotten close a few times!)
