What does it for you? Throw us some tracks that embody all this and more... not necessarily for the lyrics (though could be part of it), more for sheer power and composition of the tune. Here are a few that do it for me...
Band of Horses - Funeral (Danny Macaskill 
)
Delirium - Silence (Tiesto remix)
Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla
Jimmy Eat World - Disintegration

To be enjoyed in a dark room, very loudly.
Master of Puppets - Metalica
Keeper of the Seven Keys - Helloween
Man Next Door - Massive Attack
lads of classical music too
Oh, that Jimmy Eat World track is pretty epic... love it

I cried when I saw her play this live.
the cocteau twin's version of siren song is possibly the best, but there are many.
And I have a collection of versions of down to the river, but this is my favourite
can someone who knows how make this a Spotify list?
And this is what heaven sounds like
Lovely... see that's the thing with properly powerful music; regardless of genre, language, style or anything else, it just is powerful and moving regardless... keep 'em coming folks
This is the kind of song which just makes you scream at the sky and then weep.

hmmmm... not so sure about that one Roper... Pavarotti, yes, Spice Girls?? um, no... though I think I'm getting your point, sublime and banal in one piece?
Neurosis - everything
Crippled Black Phoenix - The Ressurectionists
There are lots of others, but these probably come closest to how I interpret what the OP is referring to.
These are a few that do it for me; emotion, powerful, moving, haunting:
Oceansize - Dead Dogs An All Sorts
sleepmakeswaves - One Day You Will Teach Me to Let Go of My Fears
Rodriguez - Concerto D'Aranjuez
I could post a lot more but Ill leave it at that...don't want to be too somber on a wet sunday morning 
Absolutely powerful
why aren't videos working today eh?
Grinderman - No Pussy Blues
Nick Cave - Into My Arms
Both still give me goosebumps but each in a completely different way.
Oh yeah! I should have added:
Cult of Luna - The Beyond
I got another:
28 days later soundtrack. So very spooky.

This honestly made me cry at Reading, and I couldn't even tell you why. The power of the first bit topped off with the breakdown to piano just knocks me out.
The instumental version of the western is tons better Conrad adds nothing to that track.

Brian Eno - An ending
Velvet revolver - fall to pieces
Paul Mounsey - North
Elbow - Mirrorball and One Day Like This
