I really enjoy that type of piano songs, maybe just the type of my personality or something but I was wondering if any of you (if anyone is listening to anything like that) could share your favorite songs like these two :3

OPM Theme Ballad Ver.
Glassy Sky

Glassy Sky actually made me cry when listened to it during the hard times.. But Im just emotional in general so.. yeah.. Oh well, I still love this song ^-^

I have to add one more: How about "Farewell to the Piano" from the Battle Royale 2 film, it plays very emotional together with the scenes.
Enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmqZoQcoE9k

And maybe you can edit your first thread and add a list of all suggestions? So we can all cry when we need to!

My absolute favourite piano pieces are by Erik Satie, a French minimalist composer. They're called Gymnopédies, and there are three "movements", so to speak. They never fail to evoke a strong emotional reaction from me, and I love playing them as well.
Moving from the classical (even though Satie breaks a lot of norms of traditional classical music already), one of the most beautiful modern solo piano compositions, in my opinion, is Aphex Twin's Avril 14th.
And, of course, since I really can't discard these: La valse d'Amelie, Comptine d'un autre été: L'après-midi (both from Yann Tiersen's fantastic soundtrack for Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain), Ludovico Einaudi's Oltremare, Philip Glass' Opening from Glassworks and, so far, my favourite modern entirely piano-driven soundtrack, Her, by Will Butler from Arcade Fire and Owen Pallett, from which I selected the two songs Song On The Beach, and Photograph.

Worth mentioning also is Nine Inch Nails' Leaving Hope, GoGo Penguin's Murmuration, the very simple but very powerful Radiohead's Daydreaming, Bent Knee's Untitled and BADBADNOTGOOD's medley Title Theme/Saria's Song/Song of Storms, probably my favourite renditions of those Legend of Zelda songs. These aren't exclusively piano, mind you, but are mainly piano-driven, with some prominent organ on the latter as well.

Mostly because I know the stories with these songs:

FFIX - Melodies of Life
