Wake me up when September ends

Lay low. Tiesto.

Summer beach when I was young. Carefree. Good looking. Partying. Ahhhh the good ol days. 😀

The Babysitter's Here - Dar Williams

Told from the perspective of a little kid, the emotions are just so immediate. I could go on about how nuanced the lyrics and emotion are but man, such a great song.

Runner up: Murder In the City - Avett Brothers

Man, that line: "Make sure my sister knows I loved her", in the past tense, oof

Guess you should go search for more Laura's songs.Ii love her voice too!

Lately, Bjork - Stonemilker

Hopsin - I'll mind if Hopsin 7

About how he'd believe in God (Christianity) if God showed us his existance. Hopsin went to be a Christian follower but fell out after a while because he couldn't blindly follow a baseless religion. The whole song is pleading with "the creator" to show his existence while explaining that he really does care and wants to believe but can't.

I always hail back to Marmalade and "Reflections of My Life."

Ambrosia - Holdin' on to Yesterday

Bôa - Duvet (Acoustic Version), it's an alternate version of the opening song to the fantastic show Serial Experiments Lain. I don't have any particularly impactful memories associated with it, but for some reason it just gets me feelin. Night walks with this song just hit different.

Everclear - Everything to Everyone

It has one of my favorite lines in a song ever: "I think you are blind to the fact that the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down."

Love Bomb - fromis_9

Self Destruct - kublai khan tx

Libet's delay - the caretaker

No children - mountain goats

yukikosan - midori (NSFW ALBUM COVER)

All songs that hit hard for different reasons... for me

Falling in Reverse's cover of Last Resort

I used to do Renaissance Faires.

"Wild Mountain Thyme" was the song the entire cast sang together at the end of each day, my first year.

It hits me like a truck every time.

For me it's Answers from FFXIV

Such a heartfelt moment that I tear up as soon as I hear the melody

All three "parts" of Metallica - The Unforgiven God, those lyrics...

All of the Virtute The Cat songs by The Weakerthans, but Virtute The Cat Explains Her Departure in particular will make me tear up any time I hear it.

(for those curious, here are all 3 songs):

Although I'm not a fan of U2, I think "sometimes you can't make it on your own" is such a song to me. Also some stuff from hospice and burst apart albums from the antlers.

Emerson Drive’s moments

Juliene Baker - Something

Almost Blue Elvis Costello

Almost blue
Almost doing things we used to do
There's a girl here and she's almost you
Almost
All the things that your eyes once promised
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue

Flirting with this disaster became me
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be

Almost blue
It's almost touching, it will almost do
There is part of me that's always true
Always
Not all good things come to an end
Now it is only a chosen few
I have seen such an unhappy couple
Almost me
Almost you
Almost blue

Cecily Smith by Will Connolly is just some bonus track from a musical I've never seen or heard but every time I hear it I almost weep.

I love my wife very much and the core concept of "life isn't about the things that we do it's who we are doing them with" is a core ethos to my life, so the song is personally very relatable.

I have a lot of songs giving me shivers, Beatles' Let It Be being the oldest and HVOB's Capture Cass the newest

Ken Boothe - When I Fall In Love

Tim Minchin’s “White Wine in the Sun” hits me so hard I can’t listen to it when I’m driving. I bawl every time.

Helpless by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
I heard it in a very sad moment of my life and it will be forever bound to be "the song that makes my eyes need to pee"

Sunset in the blue - Melody Gardot

1979 - Smashing Pumpkins

Doors and fours by NOFX.
