Recommend me some powerful emotional songs

Can you recommend me some powerful emotional songs of any genre that are medium paced. I am looking for something similar to the following songs:

Minerva - Deftones (rock)
Happier - Marshmello (pop)
Iridescent - Linking park (rock)
Piece by piece - Kelly Clarkson (pop)
Unconditionally - Katy Perry (pop)
Sky full of stars - Coldplay (pop)

What all these songs have in common is the medium-high pitched synth violins, and some have soft piano tunes. Maybe that's what invokes emotion in them. So this is to give you an idea of what I am looking for.

Well there are a ton of emotional songs...most songs are based and originate from a emotional experience of some sort...off the top of my head, here are a few:

Adele - Someone like you
Sade - Jezebel
Sting - Fields of gold
Alanis Morissette - You learn
Chicago - Color my world
Gary Clark - When my train comes in
ELP - Lucky man
Eric Clapton - Running on faith
Creed - With arms wide open - One last breath - Higher

Not sure what your meaning of emotional is?
 
What I mean by emotional is not necessarily sad songs, but songs that invoke other powerful emotions, hard to describe. Out of these you recommended, I don't like most of them, they are missing the key synth violins, this characteristic is typical mostly with newer songs, but at least you got one. Creed - higher is the one I like. Sting - fields of gold was close. But thanks anyway.
 

This track made a big impression on me twenty years ago. Finally picked up the Runaway Train soundtrack last year. Most of the other tracks are 80's synthpop but this is superb.

OK, try:

Collective Soul - The Life I Know
Bush - Comedown (no synth violins but emotional)

That is emotional rock. If it is a rock genre, it does not need to have synth violins. Medium-high slow riffs are the key here. Typical of Creed songs. And Limp bizkit - fool's game is another example.

Most of you failed to get what I asked, but it's expected. mhardy6647, guitar solos don't meet the criteria. The best way to figure out my request is to check the examples I have given, and analyze what similarities they have.

I was like how do I know all the listed tracks, than I realized your an 83er too. :)

If you are serious about any genre I’ll play :).

listen to:

Keith Green - “song to my parents” & “Grace by which I stand”. (I’m not religious) but anyone who knows his story can’t say that shits not crazy powerful.

Gen Blossoms - hey Jealousy
If you don’t know the background on that track/album you should look it up.


Tracy Chapman... pick an album...

Sia - Some people have real problems (album)
If you listen to anything I suggest. Do this album. soon we will be found is my fav track on that album.

Sia - Spotify sessions (effing fantastic)


John Mayer - Comfortable (inside wants out EP) I can’t do that one to often.

*NSYNC - Gone (don’t hate that’s a bad ass track).

Eddie Vedder - Into the wild..... every track on that album is emotional and powerful. If I’m wrong, please call me out. That is by far some of his best work.

Amanda Perez - “Angel” and “never”

Tony Braxton - unbreak my heart

CeeLo Green - **** You.... it is what it is lol

To many good ones to list :)
