What song still emotionally "destroys" you today? And why? - eviltoast

As the title says…which song still haunts you emotionally? And why? A (freely accessible) link might greatly bring your point across.

Mine would be: (Typhoon - “Empiricist”) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E328pIZWFM

The lyrics go deep and it just touches me. No otherwise special attachment.

    Lauren Shigihara - Everything’s Alright
    https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=nIZxh_nc64w

    The lyrics by themselves tell a story, but this song is the capstone to indie game To The Moon, which is an emotionally devastating tale. The theme of being near each other despite all else going wrong (thus making it all okay) was what made it my wife’s song of choice to sing to our son while he was in the NICU. I cannot hear this without my emotional state falling apart.

      Oh fuck, To The Moon and Everything’s Alright will always make me cry like a newborn.

      I have a feeling that when Deltarune is finished in its entirety and we finally have the “full” version of Don’t Forget by Laura Shigihara, it’ll be similarly heartbreaking and warm
