Top 10 Most Emotional Music Tracks in Movies
Cinema, in all its grandeur, has often gifted us some truly beautiful moments. And what brings these moments to life? What threads them together, breathes essence into them, making them indistinguishable from our own memories and feelings? The answer is simple - music. For as long as we've been telling stories through the visual medium of film, music has stood right by its side. Acting as an unseen character, a sonic narrator, music has the power to transport us, to instigate the deepest corners of our emotions, and to speak a language that transcends all barriers. Indeed, there have been great film scores over the years, and some equally famous composers, who have made the films they accompany just so much better.A film's score doesn't just provide a backdrop to the story; it's an integral part of the story itself. The swelling of an orchestra at a dramatic reveal, the haunting solo piano at a tragic parting, the upbeat guitar strumming during a beloved character's triumphant return - these are the moments that make us hold our breaths, laugh, cry, and everything in between. The music is there with us, guiding our emotions, magnifying our connection to the characters and their journeys. So, when we speak of the most emotional music tracks in movies, we're speaking of something quite profound.
Over the years, scores of tracks have touched us, moved us, and lingered in our memories long after the credits rolled. They've become the sonic imprints of the films they belong to, forever tied to the emotions they elicited. But which among them stand out as the most emotional, the ones that truly tug at your heartstrings?

Just found out the lyrics are hebrew and actually mean something too!
Every moment of this song make me sad..

This should be number one.


Probably the saddest bit you'll hear it on The Lion King soundtrack. Praise Hans Zimmer for making that music piece come to life in that scene!

Combined with the final scene, could break the toughest man in the world into tears. Truly a masterpiece!
Good to see what ever happened to Jews, they deserve this, although it was planned
The music is absolutely great as the whole soundtrack to the movie. The Pirates trilogy has AMAZING music and I can't get enough of it. You can feel every scene of the movie through this music.
This music is truly genius! Every time I hear the theme when Will was terribly wounded I want to cry! :( It brings the whole scene into my memory. And the part where Will and Elizabeth are fighting for their lives and getting married! Absolutely beautiful!

The best track of inception soundtrack and one of the best soundtracks of all time. A truly Masterpiece... So emotional... We don't need lyrics just music... That music touches my heart!
the inception soundtrack was amazing, the best in every movie. Dream is collapsing was so exciting and captured the scene perfectly. Mind Heist was a very dramatic song and the use of it in this movie popularized the bwaaaam sound effect that you hear in almost every trailer now. But time is truly chilling and emotional. The most emotional song in the best movie ever.
Feel like I had long journey for years...
Love, sadness, hope... Many thing come up from my heart

Circle of life played at the end of the greatest movie of all time. I am 32 and I saw this movie when I was 13... Magical!

Classic from Howard Shore for the final Lord of the Rings film: The return of the king, the violins work fantastically with the brass.

Sound the Bugle. Bryan Adams has a wonderful voice. "Remember who you are."
I cryed so much with "Sound the Buggle".. This list is full of beautiful musics and soundtracks thank you for creating it

Have You heard this soundtrack, its freaking beastly and was written in like two weeks. james newton howard is a musical titan of awesome.
Howard's climax to King Kong filmed with the "beast" looking out over New York

Nino Rota's score for the incredible film, "the Godfather" in 1972. Would be hard to do a list which didn't include this.

Not technically written for Ocean's eleven but works very well for the final scene.




Undoubtly one of the most emotional music pieces I've ever heard.

This song from Amelie is so exceptional. Almost everyone knows this song. It isn't the only great piece form this film. I also love Comptine d'un autre l'apres-midi. I don't know anyone, who doesn't like these songs. They just fit into the movie.


Zimmers masterful piece completes the movie and is beautifully heard in the final sequences of the Last Samurai as Tom Cruises character returns to his loved one. Truly a masterpiece... Connects with your heart... This is not only a beautiful piece but highly important
My favourite part of any Star Wars score. The scene itself to me represents everything the story is about: Luke's future/destiny, father/son, Light/Dark, etc. And this musical theme reminds of that every time I hear it.
One of the most memorable tracks of the Star Wars scores by John Williams! So emotional every time I hear it makes me cry a tear!
This perfectly captures captures the force and Luke's pull to it and adventure. It is very emotional it the right way.
