Songs that make you openly weep with joy

Not because of sadness or nostalgia, but just make you feel that, well, THAT.
Here's a few of mine:

Willie Nelson covering possibility the greatest song ever written in English:

R.I.P. Mr Henson, I hope you brought a joint for Mr. Leary and Mr. Sagan.

Queen: The Show Must Go On:
https://m.


Michael Franti and Spearhead: East to the West
If you don't know this track, give it a try. Mind blowing.....
https://m.


Also from him: Sweet Little Lies
https://m.


Michael Jackson: Man in the Mirror:h
https://m.


The Chairman's: My Way
https://m.


Now I'm sure I'll loose most of you with this one, but I can't hear this without balling like a three year old with a skinned knee. Absolutely beautiful.
