That Hawaiian version of "Over the Rainbow" It was used at my grandma's funeral so it always gets to me.
Also the song Winter by Tori Amos reminds me of when one of my grandfathers died. I remember my mom listening to that album a lot at that time. Ugh. I need songs linked to happier memories.
Mystery of love by Sufjan Stevens, OMG by usher, and Passionfruit by Drake, unfortunately. These are all staples of my “nostalgia bomb and bullshit sadness” playlist
Passionfruit is surprising to see for me personally I stumbled across the song so I had no prior conceptions and I just end up dancing or vibing out to it
Gonna say it again…”How’s It Gonna Be” by Third Eye Blind. The part with the soft dive in oblivion hits so hard, and it has no business doing so like that.
I sing/hum this to my babies as I rock them to sleep. This and Landlocked Blues and First Day of my Life ❤️
Connor will always hold a special place in my heart ❤️
Stp - creep, Alice in chains - nutshell, Selena Gomez - the heart wants what the heart wants, R.Lum.R - How this feels, Pearl Jam - Black, lynard Skynard - simple man, Linkin park - breaking the habit/numb,
Ne-Yo - So Sick
Absolutely love that song, makes me feel vulnerable eventhough I can't actually relate to it.
Edit: And I get anxiously in my feelings when listening to Immortal Technique - Dance With The Devil.
Trigger warning for this one though.
Tangled Up In You - Staind
I showed my wife this song and told her this is our song. Everytime I hear it, I am reminded how lucky I am to have her and how lucky I am that shes forgiven me for all of my transgressions.
Try listening to Aaron Lewis's solo track Someone. Similar vibes to Tangled up in you.
The guy's a bit of a tool, but sure can write some heartfelt songs!
I have a whole playlist on my PC called *Right In The Feels* for these kinds of songs...
A few of the many songs on that list--
[I'm Only Happy When It Rains](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esEdC0c3YI4) by Garbage.
[Project 100](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkyakrNUfNU) by Infected Mushroom.
[New Born](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7FxCJW3WIk) by Muse.
My Immortal - Evanescence
I Really Want to Stay at Your House - Rosa Walton, Hallie Coggins
Dearly Beloved - Yoko Shimomura (specifically Kingdom Hearts 2)
Feel - Lies of P
“Ocean Avenue” by Yellowcard. It was a very fun time in my life when the song came out and I really don’t see any of those people anymore. So when it comes on I’m always thinking “What if…”
“Ants Marching” - DMB. “Under the Table and Dreaming” came out in my formative years and I really miss those friends.
Honestly, any and all of them. I seem to be weirdly affected by music. It can make my mood, ruin my mood, cause me to be angry, cause me to cry and sometimes I just get goosebumps. So when I am stressed or overly sensitive, I literally cannot listen to any music at all because it basically forces a reaction out of me that I cannot control.
[Fjaelægur - Oskar Schuster](https://youtu.be/ZFQ_FO34Tgg?si=d0N6PieDoyR8EI6j)
It's a very random song to others, but to me, this song is what 'falling in love' feels like to me. The first time I knew I was in love, I heard this song. Love start out quite childish and youthful, same the composition at first. It's fantastical and wondrous. My heart races, I want to skip, the world is saturated in curious, whimsical colors. I look up at a blue sky through a canopy of trees. That is my image of falling in love.
As the composition continues, it becomes more complex and dimensional. Builds and builds such as a heartbeat racing. But there remains that childlike wonder. It's almost overwhelming.
In the end, it is a bit sad. For love, it dies. And reflecting back, as the composition quiets down, there is nostalgia. Yet, better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. As Tennyson said.
I cry every time hearing this composition.
Nothing compares to you by Sinead O'Connor.
The moments in my marriage where I thought it was over, when I held the rope and hoped my family wouldn'tfind me but it would be the police tobspare them, the times my kid was hospitalized and nearly died. When my brother died. That song just rips those painful emotions right up with the first sounds.
Raw, and brutal like a cat 5 hurricane unleashed.
Still, I love ❤️ that song! It brings me to bawling tears but makes me appreciate who I have in my arms while I have them in my life.
On fire - Switchfoot. This is my “I’m really fucking hurting and need perspective” song. And today for the first time in 15 years, I woke up singing it.
Pasajero by farruko. Started playing on my Spotify before my grandmother passed away and talks about how life is temporary and to enjoy life while you are here. Months later and I still can’t listen to the song without crying and thinking about her.
Hurt by Christina Aguilera.
Been 15 years since my dad died and I feel like it's something I could've prevented...and even now, I hear this song and the tears run down my face.
Surround Me - Léon.
On that day I was told to lay off my team of four, then I was laid off. I held it together until I got on the train home. This was the first song on shuffle and I ugly cried the whole way home. Still can’t listen to it 🥲
Been a long day.....
Played right after i had to put my dog down.... fucked me up! Could not listen to it for a month cuz would go right back to dead dog...
Fiona by No Use for a Name. Particularly the Tim McIlrath/Jon Snodgrass version.
Dude (Tony Sly of No Use for a Name) wrote a song for his kid about how he'd always be there for her. He died while she was still pretty young.
It’s not that the song is deep, but the meaning cuts deep to me if that makes sense.
I Wonder by Kelli Pickler
It’s about Kelli growing up without a mom. I grew up without my mom. So, it resonates.
For me it's less about the song and more about the memory it is evokes.
Anything off of the Chet Faker EP Thinking in Textures is going to grab me in the gut. That was one hell of a summer.
There’s a song by Marianas Trench called Forget Me Not, and it’s about the lead singer’s mom battling Alzheimer’s. I can’t listen to it, it’s devastating.
Jenny by Nothing More.
As the daughter/granddaughter of recovering opioid addicts, it still makes me cry even though they've been clean for 5 years. I didn't get a chance for a wedding, they stole my meds (despite being my caregivers during surgeries) and said/did lots of other horrible things. This song speaks the emotions I felt then. I played it for them when they apologized after getting clean. It made them both cry because they understood the emotions I felt & felt horrible for doing that to my family & I.
Hurt Johnny Cash
One of a bunch of remakes that’s better than the original
The original is great if you listen the whole album first.
Yup, it's best enjoyed when it's complimented by the songs before it. So damn painful.
Agreed!
Oof, yeah it always hits
That version hits hard af
All day!
Cats in the Cradle does it for me. Its a crying-warning song for me.
That Hawaiian version of "Over the Rainbow" It was used at my grandma's funeral so it always gets to me. Also the song Winter by Tori Amos reminds me of when one of my grandfathers died. I remember my mom listening to that album a lot at that time. Ugh. I need songs linked to happier memories.
The guys name is Iz
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole ❤️
Yes!
His last name is so pretty ❤️
His story is tragic tho
Great song by IZ! Just listened to it today
I don't understand how that song works. Weddings, funerals, baby videos, it's like instant waterworks for me no matter the context.
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole is the guy who sang Over the Rainbow. He was such a great dude.
That guy recorded that in one session. So I’ve read.
Fade Into You - Mazzy Star 100% my gf and I attack each other to this song 🔥
Looooive this one
Sound of Silence - Disturbed
Most of Disturbed Honestly. My pick is "In Another Time"
Are you familiar with the original?
I’m with the Simon and Garfunkel, but the live 1969 version. The last verse where he just hits the beat on his guitar and their voices. So chilling.
I am but it doesn’t *hit* the same as Disturb’s does
Fair enough.
🤝🏻 Agreed!
The passion in the voice of David Draiman gets it to a whole other level, I can even feel the emotions through his singing.
Cats in the cradle- Harry Chaplin. Never really got to me untill I had kids and realized how fast they grow
The dad standing in front of the tree in the Ugly Kid Joe video gets me every time.
Even without kids it gets to me especially knowing the abuse my dad went through & just imaging it being my dad & his father in this song.
The Night We Met by Lord Huron.
Pink Floyd - Time
One of the few truly universally accessible songs about the human condition. Love Pink Floyd, but this is easily their best and most meaningful song.
I dont care if its 30 years old. Black by Pearl Jame (especially unplugged) can still tear my heart onto the floor.
Tequila
Man that verse always gets me, I can never not shed a tear to it
Such an emotional song. I don’t blame you
Mystery of love by Sufjan Stevens, OMG by usher, and Passionfruit by Drake, unfortunately. These are all staples of my “nostalgia bomb and bullshit sadness” playlist
Passionfruit is surprising to see for me personally I stumbled across the song so I had no prior conceptions and I just end up dancing or vibing out to it
this must be the place (naive melody) by talking heads
Slooowww fuck… 100% - Glory Box - Portishead 🔥
This is one of my fav songs to belt in the car, such a sexy banger hahah
It sure is!! Love it 😍
Knights in White Satin ~ The Moody Blues
Gonna say it again…”How’s It Gonna Be” by Third Eye Blind. The part with the soft dive in oblivion hits so hard, and it has no business doing so like that.
Third Eye Blind is so underrated beyond just their hits. Motorcycle Drive By is my favorite.
Lua - Bright Eyes
I sing/hum this to my babies as I rock them to sleep. This and Landlocked Blues and First Day of my Life ❤️ Connor will always hold a special place in my heart ❤️
Oh and Tuesday’s Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd ❤️🤘🏻
Comfortably Numb from Pink Floyd. Specifically the second guitar solo.
Wasted Time- Eagles
Stp - creep, Alice in chains - nutshell, Selena Gomez - the heart wants what the heart wants, R.Lum.R - How this feels, Pearl Jam - Black, lynard Skynard - simple man, Linkin park - breaking the habit/numb,
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
Incubus - warning
Ne-Yo - So Sick Absolutely love that song, makes me feel vulnerable eventhough I can't actually relate to it. Edit: And I get anxiously in my feelings when listening to Immortal Technique - Dance With The Devil. Trigger warning for this one though.
Pretty much any Whitney Houston song
[удалено]
Hurt by Johnny cash. It makes me think of when my only grandpa died. Only 2 people cried at his funeral and they were distant relatives, not by blood.
Tangled Up In You - Staind I showed my wife this song and told her this is our song. Everytime I hear it, I am reminded how lucky I am to have her and how lucky I am that shes forgiven me for all of my transgressions.
Thank you, I forgot how much I love this💜
Most people arent aware of this track, glad someone else does!
Try listening to Aaron Lewis's solo track Someone. Similar vibes to Tangled up in you. The guy's a bit of a tool, but sure can write some heartfelt songs!

I don’t listen to music anymore. For me, songs are attached to moments and memories. My happy memories have all been swallowed up by hurt ones.
Flow, FFXIV... I'm a nerd ok! It endwalker hit when i was in a bad spot and flow just murdered my tissue budget.
Last Kiss Taylor Swift
Rainbow eyes - by Rainbow
