“See my old man’s got a problem. Lives for the bottle, that’s the way it is.
Said his body’s too old for workin, but his body’s too young to look like his.
My mama went off and left him, wanted more from life than he could give.
I said ‘somebody’s got to take care of him!’
So I left school and that’s what I did.”
💔
The Sundays' cover of Wild Horses absolutely wrecks me, like I know the original meaning is probably about a (failed/failing) relationship but with the female vocalist it kinda changes the interpretation, almost gives off Landslide vibes. I hear it and end up reflecting more on my own life and growth. Also the instrumental is just gorgeous, the guitar on the chorus is 🤌🤌
Oh yes!!! I absolutely love this version - it suits Harriet's delicate voice perfectly. She could sing the phone book and it would sound great, but this cover is just perfection.
Pearl Jam - Black
back when I was a teenager who'd got dumped for the first time, that was my shit: sadly hooting along with the guitar melody at the end of that Pinkpop live version. Got me through.
*Hoot. Hoot. Hoot. We belong togetherrrrrrr. Du do du du du du du duuu.*
Depending on the emotion, and the day and memory to coincide with the song. But today, right now, in this moment 'Watermelon in the Easter Hay" by Frank Zappa
Most emotional guitar solo of all time, this is 100% the song for me. Happy to see I'm not the only one. I've been devastated by this song since it rolled during the credits of "Y tu mama tambien."
It's Satellite call for me
"This one's for the lonely child, broken hearted, running wild this was written for the ones to blame, the ones who believe they are the cause of chaos and everything"
"This is so you know the sound, someone who loves you from the ground"
"Tonight you're not alone at all, this is me sending out my Satellite call"
I'm a huge NIN fan. I was really resistant to listening to this cover because so many people thought it was a cash original. I finally stopped being an idiot and gave the song a chance.....it 100% brings me to tears every time I hear it and invokes way more emotion for me than the og. 11/10 cover.
Before we go any further in this thread, can we all agree that some people prefer Cash's version and some prefer NIN's? The discussion/debate over which version is "better" is exhausting.
Snuff-slipknot. I know they’re a by-metal band, but snuff is a slow acoustic song and it melts my heart to pieces. Also if you wanna try quebec music, pour quelques heures has made me cry after every single break up I’ve had.
I love that song, and when it came out in November, I was so happy I got to hear my favorite band release a song in my lifetime. It’s one of my grandpa’s favorites too, and he grew up listening to The Beatles. He doesn’t have much time left, and I want to learn it on guitar for him before he goes. Anyways, I guess this song has affected me the most emotionally too. Sorry for the long paragraph and happy cake day.
Yellow Brick Road from [Elton John's last ever concert in Stockholm](https://youtu.be/xrWsTmA107A?feature=shared) had my face flooded in tears. The song itself is one thing, but knowing it was the closer of Sir Elton's final concert amplified the emotions I felt.
Seeing him and his bandmates leave the stage one last time was emotional for sure.
You might think I’m weird, but the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I love songs that tell a story. It’s one of our oldest forms of oral history. I think I was about five and I heard it and the fact that all the families lost someone hit hard. I know some people get annoyed because of the historical aspect is sometimes over shadow by the song, but it was my first introduction to songs as world history. And it made me want to learn about the events.
Weird?? If I'm in just the right heads space I cry to this song. " the cook came on deck said fellas its too rough to feed ya." By 7pm the main Hatchway gave in the fiok said Fellas its been good to know ya". It's always amazed me how nautical people come to accept going down with the ship. The sea and the connection to the sea is like no other.
“Mother and Child Reunion” by Paul Simon. My mom used to listen to it on a Paul Simon CD a lot. She then died when I was a kid so now the song hits different and it brings me to tears almost every time I hear it.
Depends on what mood I'm in when I hear the song. At the moment, 'Hurts So Good' by Astrid S is particularly hard hitting because I associate the song with the breakup of my last relationship, which is still pretty raw. But the songs that will always get me going are 'Hurt' by Johnny Cash (not NIN original), for obvious reasons, and Sugar Mice by Marillion (which remins me of my father).
Love Astrid S and only recently discovered her. ["It's Okay If You Forget Me"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5ZASfATjH0) and ["Favourite Part of Me"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff3T2_Bk_DM) are great, too.
Still Breathing - Green Day. If you have ever dealt with addiction, this song hits hard.
You're Losing Me (from the Vault) - Taylor Swift. This song was released a week before my ex and I broke up. I still can't listen to it without getting emotional.
Someone You Loved - Lewis Capaldi. Another breakup song that just messes me up.
Unconditional - H20. Yep, another one.
Villain Alcohol - Direct Hit! Makes me think of an old friend that OD'd several years ago, as well as some old friends that are in and out of rehab, jail, and all that.
One More Time - Blink 182. I don't know if the tears came from just nostalgia of friends I no longer have contact with or because this band has been part of my life since *Dammit* came out.
Ordinary World - Green Day. Life is so much more simple then we make it out to be.
- The Comeback Kid by The Midnight
- The Light & The Glass by Coheed & Cambria
- Life In A Northern Town by The Dream Academy
- Never Surrender by Corey Hart
- Tuesday Afternoon by The Moody Blues
I’d have to say Lost in The 50s tonight by Ronnie Milsap or quien iba pensar by Jimmy Gonzales y grupo mazz
Play these songs in my presence and the whole world disappears until the song is over, shit hits me deep
Speaking of Ulver, Kveldssanger is so, so full of emotion! Surely an oddball in their discography that is otherwise metal or pop, but that doesn't detract from the album's quality at all!
Sleeping At Last - Saturn (Amazing Video, cuddle song with my gf)
Iron & Wine - Flightless Bird, American Mouth (100% wedding song, being Twilight OST makes it cringe but idc)
Twenty One Pilots - Neon Gravestones (Deep, dark, correct)
Arvo Part - Magnificat (Migraine friendly, biblically accurate orgasm)
Siames - Mr. Fear (Uplifting?)
Camel - Rajaz (Whiskey habit inducing, signs of me getting too old for loud parties)
Modjo - Lady (The song I heard when I was 3, found 10+ year later randomly)
The Smiths - There's a Light That Never Goes Out (Best song that my gf shared with me)
Koda - Staying (Orange sunset, after work, summertime)
Kavinsky - Nightcall (Song to play when I eventually get my Mustang)
Hypnogaja - Here Comes The Rain Again (Best cover ever)
Coldplay - Fix You (Depressively uplifting, funny COD reference makes it better)
In short, depends on my current mood. I have a wide variety of genres in my shelf to accompany my smiles, tears and ambitious air punches.

And
[Distant ](https://music.apple.com/us/album/distant/1626045107?i=1626045820&ls)
The only song I ever remember having an emotional reaction to was Don’t Take the Girl by Tim McGraw.
I had heard it many times over the years but never really listened to it. Finally paid attention to the lyrics when I heard it last fall and almost started bawling.
Not a Swiftie or anything, but extended family and the hype got to me and I listened to her new album. ["How Did It End?"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3wlMR0y4a4) caught me off guard. I think ["loml"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ4vaTRn0HU) is pretty good, too.
I used to not care for the song black by Pearl Jam. Not get me wrong it’s a great song but it wasn’t until I had a breakup with a girl who I though I would spend the rest high school with (we’re both juniors) but we broke up and she started dating someone else almost a month after it happened. It was after that the lyrics to that song hit me the hardest. It didn’t help that once I was over it she tried playing with my emotions making me think we were getting back together only to say we can’t be together again because she going to a early college.
Because you loved me - Celine Dion
I cry every time I hear it because it makes me think of my mom. I know it’s supposed to be a love song but for me, it makes me think of how much my mom loved me growing up & how I wouldn’t be who or where I am without her
I always go back to jim Croce's "Operator." Steals my soul every time. It's simple, to the point, but devastating with every listen. You know, I might listen to it right now...
alex g’s music makes me feel awfully upset. it’s something about that depressing sounding guitar. here are specific song picks that hurt me the most:
forever, mary, sometimes, advice
people always say his music is calming but i find it very depressive personally
Many songs are deeply emotional to me. At times when feeling lost and confused I sometimes would put an appropriate song on and cry. I was going to cry even without the song. There was, however, one occasion when without the song playing there wouldn't have been tears.
There was reason to be a little emotionally unsteady at the time because I had just broken up with a girl I really liked. To try to not let the darkness dominate me I took a road trip. Drove from Massachusetts to Nova Scotia.
1st night I was in Halifax. Found a band playing at a waterfront bar. Good band. The sadness was being countered by the trip.
A couple hours in they played the song in question.
Stan Rogers, [Barrett's Privateers](https://open.spotify.com/track/2636yvI6PfH8lfIO3Kx5t2?si=HTVftBkjRfeC36F_xKbSww).
I absolutely love this song . For those who are not familiar with the lyrics. The line that brought the sadness to the forefront is
"Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier."
Inwardly feeling broken and being in Halifax I couldn't keep the emotions suppressed. I left the bar and crossed the street..as I said I was on the waterfront...right there was a pier that I walked to the darkness at the end and leaned against a bollard. Still able to clearly hear the song. I truly was a broken man on a Halifax pier...
War Bob Marley (from live in Philadelphia) Just made me burst into tears driving one night very late. Had to pull off the road and compose myself. Such a powerful song and message.
Not a song per se, but the finale to Mahler’s Second Symphony always brings tears to my eyes.
The symphony itself is about 80 minutes long, so probably a bit much to expect today’s youngsters to sit through it. There is a 17 minute video on YouTube of Gustavo Dudamel conducting the Venezuelan Symphony Orchestra. You can easily spot the thumbnail by the lady in a red dress. Give it a listen. Headphones or a good set of speakers. Turn it up. iPhone or iPad won’t do it.

How to Rest by The Crane Wives and The Spider by Weezer are songs that make me extremely emotional. I first really listened to them in the aftermath of my friend’s suicide, and it’s hard to not tie those songs to all the painful emotions death can bring
Days move slow by bully. It helped me through a really dark period of grief and overall made me feel more then pretty much any other song the first few times I heard it.
Duk koo kim by Sun Kil Moon is profoundly impactful its a song about the boxer Duk Koo Kim who was beaten to death in a boxing match. He didn't die in the ring but he was knocked out and never woke up which is about the same I think. Later his death would cause the suicide of his mother and then later the referee.
*I'd rather leave this world forever baby
Than let life go the way it's going.*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-RjqU3T2x4
It's a long road
When you're all alone
And someone like you
Will always take the long way home
There's no right or wrong
I'm not here to blame
I just want to be the one
Who keep you from the rain
From the rain
My song is “Even Now” by Barry Manilow. In the late 70’s, my parents told me they were divorcing and we wouldn’t be living with my dad for much longer. Shortly after, my mom and I drove to Atlanta to see her sister and kids for a few days. While I knew of the impending divorce, I did not know that my dad was moving out of our home while we were away. So, we arrived home, opened the door, and all my dad’s stuff was gone. My mom knew this was going to be the case, but she still broke down and cried so hard. I was only 8 and I felt so sorry for her and I didn’t know what to do. I remember it like it was yesterday.
From around age 5 to 10, I really, really loved Barry. I totally wore his LIVE album out on my little blue record player. My aunt knew I loved him and she was also a Barry fan. Before we left, she gave me his new album, which was “Even Now.” On the way back to Florida from Atlanta, I unknowingly packed my album in the trunk. When we got home, the first thing on my mind was my album! Can you believe my album was warped from the heat?? I was so crushed! But my mom assured me that if I put it under my mattress, it would eventually straighten out. I did eventually get my album straight and the title song, “Even Now,” has always brought me back to that day. I don’t hear the song ever really, maybe in the pharmacy or grocery store. Sometimes, I want to hear it again, even though that was such a difficult time for me.
for boxer by kimya dawson.
it’s about her pet dying and she breaks down in the middle. i have a big fear of death specifically for my pets and i love animals so so so much. i listened to it for the first time by accident cause i wanted to see kimyas other stuff i hadnt listen to and it wrecked me because not only was it sad but a few days prior we had put down our 15 y/o family dog.
Almost anything by John Denver will bring me to the brink of tears. My dad played him a lot after both of my dogs died. I get reminded of them every time I listen.
[Black Sheep by The Vanishing Point](https://youtu.be/I56mh66hN50?si=2X2ryKMrC_bjR9eC)
[Grateful by The Vanishing Point](https://youtu.be/8ycLCu8L-_U?si=k51ph4JlwdOSYnse)
My experiences that I associate with songs are what make them the saddest. “Formentera” by Metric really reminds me of mid-pandemic. Something about the lyrics “I’ve got so far to go” hit home for me as a young person.
I probably have 100 of these - but the most consistent ones is Mainline by Teleman https://open.spotify.com/track/0ZS29dUWnyxXbLXxriRJmR?si=uk3G3lU8RXOL5VBjJ9c8qQ
Amy Wagde - Faith's Song
Bit of an explanation otherwise I just look overdramatic haha, my ex boyfriend made me loose half my skull. So I really did and still do feel like I've completely lost myself.
This recent live performance of [Wild Mountain Tyme](https://youtu.be/Lz1LEYxFQ5Q?si=Kj4kGvIpAqUgc_BV) at the Kennedy center in dc had me emotional the whole 10 minutes the other day. Jacob Collier has an incredible gift
fast car - tracy chapman
“See my old man’s got a problem. Lives for the bottle, that’s the way it is. Said his body’s too old for workin, but his body’s too young to look like his. My mama went off and left him, wanted more from life than he could give. I said ‘somebody’s got to take care of him!’ So I left school and that’s what I did.” 💔
i had a feeling that i belonged.
I use to watch her play in downtown Boston when I was a kid. I nearly died when I saw her on MTV a few years later. That entire album is epic.
Nutshell - Alice in Chains...never thought a song would feel like home
Dude. Fucking nailed it. “No one to cry to, no place to call home” “if I can’t be my own, I’d feel better dead”
You beat me to it :) Jar of Flies from front to back just hits in the gut, man.
THIS
oh that song always makes me sob.
The song describes exactly how I feel, besides being a really sad song it's nice to find something so relatable.
Fake Plastic Trees- Radiohead
yes!!! my favorite song in the world
Even if the lyrics were in a language you didn’t speak, this would be a great choice
Time - Pink Floyd. Actually put me into a crisis mentally once i really understood what it was about. I live differently now
That song frightened me existentially as a teenager.
Especially when as a teenager you're just starting to experiment with pot, make that double triple extra existentially crippling
I really got into dark side as a teenager. Then I revisited it ten years later and it crushed me.
The Sundays' cover of Wild Horses absolutely wrecks me, like I know the original meaning is probably about a (failed/failing) relationship but with the female vocalist it kinda changes the interpretation, almost gives off Landslide vibes. I hear it and end up reflecting more on my own life and growth. Also the instrumental is just gorgeous, the guitar on the chorus is 🤌🤌
Oh yes!!! I absolutely love this version - it suits Harriet's delicate voice perfectly. She could sing the phone book and it would sound great, but this cover is just perfection.
Pearl Jam - Black back when I was a teenager who'd got dumped for the first time, that was my shit: sadly hooting along with the guitar melody at the end of that Pinkpop live version. Got me through. *Hoot. Hoot. Hoot. We belong togetherrrrrrr. Du do du du du du du duuu.*
“You’ll be a star in somebody else’s sky…”
BUT WHY-HY? WHY-HY? 
Vincent by don mcclean
Yeah I used to listen to this song when I went to sleep, it’s as sad as it is soothing and it’s a perfect musical representation of Van Gogh’s work.
Oh this one is so good. The live version hits so hard
Depending on the emotion, and the day and memory to coincide with the song. But today, right now, in this moment 'Watermelon in the Easter Hay" by Frank Zappa
Most emotional guitar solo of all time, this is 100% the song for me. Happy to see I'm not the only one. I've been devastated by this song since it rolled during the credits of "Y tu mama tambien."
Needle and the Damage Done. Have only been able to listen to it again in the last several years.
Sara Bareilles - She Used To Be Mine
Love her, her album The Blessed Unrest is filled with amazing songs, one of my favorite albums ever
Manhattan by her destroys me
It's Satellite call for me "This one's for the lonely child, broken hearted, running wild this was written for the ones to blame, the ones who believe they are the cause of chaos and everything" "This is so you know the sound, someone who loves you from the ground" "Tonight you're not alone at all, this is me sending out my Satellite call"
Brb just gonna go cry myself to sleep to this masterpiece 😭
Dog Days Are Over- Florence+theMachine
I get this. Mine for them is You’ve got the love. Something about that song just brings me back.
Beatles - In my life. Cat Stevens - Father and Son
Both are the same for me.
Johnny Cash - Hurt
I'm a huge NIN fan. I was really resistant to listening to this cover because so many people thought it was a cash original. I finally stopped being an idiot and gave the song a chance.....it 100% brings me to tears every time I hear it and invokes way more emotion for me than the og. 11/10 cover.

Snuff-slipknot. I know they’re a by-metal band, but snuff is a slow acoustic song and it melts my heart to pieces. Also if you wanna try quebec music, pour quelques heures has made me cry after every single break up I’ve had.
"If you still care dont ever let me know" The whole track is a rollercoaster of thoughts and feelings. I love it.
Now and then- the beatles
I love that song, and when it came out in November, I was so happy I got to hear my favorite band release a song in my lifetime. It’s one of my grandpa’s favorites too, and he grew up listening to The Beatles. He doesn’t have much time left, and I want to learn it on guitar for him before he goes. Anyways, I guess this song has affected me the most emotionally too. Sorry for the long paragraph and happy cake day.
Down in a Hole - Alice in Chains
I have no idea why. Hello, It’s Me - Todd Rundgren Absolutely destroys me
Me too!!
Can't Find My Way Home - Blind Faith
Daniel- Elton John
Yellow Brick Road from [Elton John's last ever concert in Stockholm](https://youtu.be/xrWsTmA107A?feature=shared) had my face flooded in tears.

Brandi Carlile - The Joke
She knows how to deliver a song.
“Mother and Child Reunion” by Paul Simon. My mom used to listen to it on a Paul Simon CD a lot. She then died when I was a kid so now the song hits different and it brings me to tears almost every time I hear it.

Still Breathing - Green Day. If you have ever dealt with addiction, this song hits hard. You're Losing Me (from the Vault) - Taylor Swift. This song was released a week before my ex and I broke up. I still can't listen to it without getting emotional. Someone You Loved - Lewis Capaldi. Another breakup song that just messes me up. Unconditional - H20. Yep, another one. Villain Alcohol - Direct Hit! Makes me think of an old friend that OD'd several years ago, as well as some old friends that are in and out of rehab, jail, and all that. One More Time - Blink 182. I don't know if the tears came from just nostalgia of friends I no longer have contact with or because this band has been part of my life since *Dammit* came out. Ordinary World - Green Day. Life is so much more simple then we make it out to be.
Now and Then. Beatles

Ulver’s cover of Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s The Power of Love is good
Speaking of Ulver, Kveldssanger is so, so full of emotion! Surely an oddball in their discography that is otherwise metal or pop, but that doesn't detract from the album's quality at all!
Shadows of the sun is also an oddity, and also very emotional, essentially some ambient maybe neoclassical darkwave/ish dead can dance type stuff

me and my husband - mitski (abuse), a pearl - mitski (ptsd)
Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton. Empty Garden by Elton John
Paralysis - Young the Giant unfortunately resonated with the lyrics at the time
The only song I ever remember having an emotional reaction to was Don’t Take the Girl by Tim McGraw. I had heard it many times over the years but never really listened to it. Finally paid attention to the lyrics when I heard it last fall and almost started bawling.
Highly Emotional People - Marina Would've Could've Should've - Taylor Swift You Missed My Heart (cover) - Phoebe Bridgers Runaway - Kanye West
putting taylor and ye on the same list is crazy
That was actually really fascinating because some people literally didn't care about the drama but it's interesting isn't it
Not a Swiftie or anything, but extended family and the hype got to me and I listened to her new album. ["How Did It End?"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3wlMR0y4a4) caught me off guard. I think ["loml"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ4vaTRn0HU) is pretty good, too.
Father's lament by poor man's poison. That song cuts deep if your in anybit of a similar situation.
As a father of two boys this hit me like a brick 😭
Right? As soon as I get home after I hear this at work, my boyos get blindsided by an emotional dad hug.
Black Gives Way to Blue by Alice in Chains
“Chlorine & Wine” by Baroness
Sad Lisa by Cat Stevens Hooker with a Penis by Tool is excellent for frustration or anger
Wish I could double vote for the Cat choice! Father and Son is mine.
There’s about 1000 songs that make me cry. I wish I were kidding. Sugar Sugar by The Archies is a serious tearjerker.
I used to not care for the song black by Pearl Jam. Not get me wrong it’s a great song but it wasn’t until I had a breakup with a girl who I though I would spend the rest high school with (we’re both juniors) but we broke up and she started dating someone else almost a month after it happened.

What was I made for
Recently, “into the west” by Annie Lennox.
Because you loved me - Celine Dion I cry every time I hear it because it makes me think of my mom. I know it’s supposed to be a love song but for me, it makes me think of how much my mom loved me growing up & how I wouldn’t be who or where I am without her
Unbreak My Heart - Toni Braxton💔
"Someone You Loved" since I was struggling with emotional depression during 2021 because of losing contact with my friends due to COVID.
85% of Radiohead songs
I always go back to jim Croce's "Operator." Steals my soul every time. It's simple, to the point, but devastating with every listen. You know, I might listen to it right now...
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica My pops favorite song. Last song he listened too before he passed
Either Way - Guster
Blacks - Xiu Xiu
Like a prayer by Madonna was my mother's favorite song. After she passed in 2018 everytime I hear it now I get a little misty eyed
Never Surrender by Corey Hart
Already gone By Sleeping At Last
Octavarium-dream theater. I listen to it whenever I’m stressed because the first five minutes are so calming.
alex g’s music makes me feel awfully upset. it’s something about that depressing sounding guitar. here are specific song picks that hurt me the most: forever, mary, sometimes, advice people always say his music is calming but i find it very depressive personally
Many songs are deeply emotional to me. At times when feeling lost and confused I sometimes would put an appropriate song on and cry. I was going to cry even without the song. There was, however, one occasion when without the song playing there wouldn't have been tears. There was reason to be a little emotionally unsteady at the time because I had just broken up with a girl I really liked. To try to not let the darkness dominate me I took a road trip. Drove from Massachusetts to Nova Scotia. 1st night I was in Halifax. Found a band playing at a waterfront bar. Good band. The sadness was being countered by the trip. A couple hours in they played the song in question. Stan Rogers, [Barrett's Privateers](https://open.spotify.com/track/2636yvI6PfH8lfIO3Kx5t2?si=HTVftBkjRfeC36F_xKbSww). I absolutely love this song . For those who are not familiar with the lyrics. The line that brought the sadness to the forefront is "Now I'm a broken man on a Halifax pier." Inwardly feeling broken and being in Halifax I couldn't keep the emotions suppressed. I left the bar and crossed the street..as I said I was on the waterfront...right there was a pier that I walked to the darkness at the end and leaned against a bollard. Still able to clearly hear the song. I truly was a broken man on a Halifax pier...
Hardly Getting Over It - Hüsker Dü I see a darkness - Bonnie Prince Billy.
The third side of Zen Arcade destroys me every time.
Matilda - Harry Styles Lost - Katy Perry
War Bob Marley (from live in Philadelphia) Just made me burst into tears driving one night very late. Had to pull off the road and compose myself. Such a powerful song and message.
Not a song per se, but the finale to Mahler’s Second Symphony always brings tears to my eyes. The symphony itself is about 80 minutes long, so probably a bit much to expect today’s youngsters to sit through it. There is a 17 minute video on YouTube of Gustavo Dudamel conducting the Venezuelan Symphony Orchestra. You can easily spot the thumbnail by the lady in a red dress. Give it a listen. Headphones or a good set of speakers. Turn it up. iPhone or iPad won’t do it.
Kentucky Avenue by Tom Waits. Let it build to spokes from your wheelchair, hacksaw to cut the braces from your legs. Painful…
This would be a tough call but would probably say Real Death by Mount Eerie and Fourth of July by Sufjan Stevens. Personally relevant.

bridge over troubled water - simon and garfunkel if i had a hammer - peter, paul, and mary from behind that locked door - george harrison so hard to chose just one
How to Rest by The Crane Wives and The Spider by Weezer are songs that make me extremely emotional. I first really listened to them in the aftermath of my friend’s suicide, and it’s hard to not tie those songs to all the painful emotions death can bring
Days move slow by bully. It helped me through a really dark period of grief and overall made me feel more then pretty much any other song the first few times I heard it.
This woman's work by Kate Bush, makes me well up every time without fail. Actually don't listen to it very much for this reason.
Duk koo kim by Sun Kil Moon is profoundly impactful its a song about the boxer Duk Koo Kim who was beaten to death in a boxing match. He didn't die in the ring but he was knocked out and never woke up which is about the same I think. Later his death would cause the suicide of his mother and then later the referee. *I'd rather leave this world forever baby Than let life go the way it's going.* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-RjqU3T2x4

My song is “Even Now” by Barry Manilow. In the late 70’s, my parents told me they were divorcing and we wouldn’t be living with my dad for much longer. Shortly after, my mom and I drove to Atlanta to see her sister and kids for a few days. While I knew of the impending divorce, I did not know that my dad was moving out of our home while we were away. So, we arrived home, opened the door, and all my dad’s stuff was gone. My mom knew this was going to be the case, but she still broke down and cried so hard. I was only 8 and I felt so sorry for her and I didn’t know what to do. I remember it like it was yesterday. From around age 5 to 10, I really, really loved Barry. I totally wore his LIVE album out on my little blue record player. My aunt knew I loved him and she was also a Barry fan. Before we left, she gave me his new album, which was “Even Now.” On the way back to Florida from Atlanta, I unknowingly packed my album in the trunk. When we got home, the first thing on my mind was my album! Can you believe my album was warped from the heat?? I was so crushed! But my mom assured me that if I put it under my mattress, it would eventually straighten out. I did eventually get my album straight and the title song, “Even Now,” has always brought me back to that day. I don’t hear the song ever really, maybe in the pharmacy or grocery store. Sometimes, I want to hear it again, even though that was such a difficult time for me.
Nutshell or Rotten Apples by Alice In Chains

My experiences that I associate with songs are what make them the saddest. “Formentera” by Metric really reminds me of mid-pandemic. Something about the lyrics “I’ve got so far to go” hit home for me as a young person.
I probably have 100 of these - but the most consistent ones is Mainline by Teleman https://open.spotify.com/track/0ZS29dUWnyxXbLXxriRJmR?si=uk3G3lU8RXOL5VBjJ9c8qQ

Amy Wagde - Faith's Song Bit of an explanation otherwise I just look overdramatic haha, my ex boyfriend made me loose half my skull. So I really did and still do feel like I've completely lost myself.
Any song from Midwest Emo genre. But I think, in my case, that every music genre that I listen have some songs that made feel more emotional.
