Perhaps the antidote to remembering the songs that made you cry...what song made you feel like life was worth living after all?  Not jump-up-and-down-Walking-On-Sunshine-get-me-a-tranquilizer gleeful, just uplifted, inspired, I-can't-give-up-yet-cause-maybe-there's-hope?

For me, there are two:  Deep Forest's "Forest Hymn" and Kevin Bartlett's "Glow in the Dark" (title track).  Co-equal inspirers.

Tangerine Dream's 'Mysterious Semblance At The Strand Of Nightmares' as well as the end of 'Supper's Ready', both while talking a walk and staring at the sky as the sun set. Those are the kind of things I live for.

I'm not 100% sure, but I know Sigur Ros has written it.

Nothing.  I always felt that way.

The only time I get emotional about music is in a sad way.  I can't name anything uplifting, which in itself is sad.

I'll try it.  I recently listened to some Schulze but didn't feel particularly moved.

If this song doesn't move you, you are a cold-hearted man.

This thread needs some Zappa, Supertramp and Queen..
Something unusual here: Wise Guys - Ich will tanzen!, Akon - Pot of Gold
 
Also, try some Mozart for classical, especially his piano pieces..

Truly very sad.

All my favorite music's sort of uplifting to me (well, maybe not Art Zoyd so much), but some are more than others. And especially the prog I like. Here's ten:

Can Mother Sky
Magma Kobaia
Le Orme Regina al Troubadour
Flower Travellin' Band Satori Part II
Amon Düül II Archangels Thunderbird
Cos Populi (or just about any track from their first two)
Premiata Forneria Marconi Impressioni De Settembre
Soft Machine Hibou, Anemone and Bear
After Dinner Cymbals At Dawn
Grateful Dead Terrapin Station

I got millions more. If I started including exotica, synthstuff, jazz etc the list would be endless.

I think I made a quite uplifting muxtape. Check out the Cymbals at Dawn track + Kha-Ym, and Non Credo... again all except for Art Zoyd, really.
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Two of the most JOYFUL albums I've ever heard:
 
Vision Creation Newsun - The Boredoms
Synchestra - The Devin Townsend Band

Good one. Boredom's Seadrum from the album of the same name is 23 more minutes of pure joy.
