This is actually a really good thread idea. I'm always looking for more emotional songs.

None of the lists are in any specific order.

Saddest

1) Song of Healing
2) Together With Shauna
3) Professor Sycamore's Theme
4) How About a Song? "An Unwavering Heart" (Unwavering Emotions from Pokémon Black/White)
5) An Eternal Prison
6) Game Over
7) Midna's Lament
Eight) sayonara -refrain-
9) Sky Sands (This one wins the award for saddest and most painful harmonica run (Especially in C# minor))
10) Route 10
11) Ending -To Each Future-
12) Sad Sun
13) Friends Theme "Friends Forever"

I don't really find any songs to be "sad" or "scary", although I do admit that Jesus Loves Me and It is Finished to inspire those reactions in me.

I'm not entirely sure what the definition of "sweet" is, but I will throw these three songs in here.

I like those songs too

I guess for saddest, the first section of this song comes to mind.

This song also scores big for me on the spectrum of emotion overall, not just one of the categories listed.

[Jompa]

For me, this one takes the cake:
"Slow Curve" from Little Busters!.
Not even once did I not cry when this was playing in the game - It's not sad, but it's emotional because it reflects happiness, and the scenarios it's used in wouldn't even be close the same without it.
