Does this game's music still make anyone else emotional even a year/years later?

SpoilerOST Music Appreciation - DLC

So it's been about a year now since I played the game and the DLC, and this game is still dear to my heart in ways no other game has been since

I still listen to the music after all this time fairly often, and a lot of it still can and very much will make me cry. Like Outer Wilds (the OST) came up & I decided to let it play, and halfway through my vision was getting blurry

That one may be cheating because it has the double whammy of being an Outer Wilds track, and being what played in a DnD session where I cried in public for the first time in years

But things like 14.3 Billion Years, Main Title, Let There Be Light, Echoes of the Eye, Travelers, *Departure*?

I'm just curious if anyone else has any similar experiences
