Day Ten - A song that makes you sad
Annie Lennox - Into the West (Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King Soundtrack)
This is one of the few songs on the list where the music itself engenders the emotion, not the memories associated with it.
I love all of the music to the Lord of the Rings movies, and cheerfully shelled out much money for the "complete" soundtracks for each movie, but out of the gorgeous Howard Shore composition and symphonic (and vocal) performances, Annie Lennox's closing song to The Return of the King is the best three minutes out of the nearly eight hours of music and never fails to move me to sadness and tears, albeit with a touch of hope.
