Long time Nine inch nails fan. Love everything he’s done.

Hear Johnny Cash do Hurt.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Yeah that song hits quite hard

Specifically this performance of Danny Nedelko by Idles: https://piped.video/watch?v=Sc63fTPttEQ

It's a song about how immigrants are normal people with thoughts and feelings, our friends and family and so on, released when an anti-immigration sentiment was completely mainstream, but also just as Corbyn was becoming popular, and the singer's belting it out despite being knackered, and the crowd's belting it back, until he falls down crying because everyone's onside with his song he'd written about friendship and love, and the guitarist takes over without a second thought, and his wife comes out with their baby in a papoose to kiss him... I'm getting a lump in my throat just describing it.

NiN - Hurt.

Simon and Garfunkel - Sound of Silence.

Whenever I hear Baby Shark, I get very emotional.

If "Cat's In The Cradle" doesn't get you, you are not a father.

Ugly Kid Joe - Cats in the Cradle

I'm currently re-aligning my entire life with the goal of not becoming the dad in this song.

Selena - No Me Queda Más

Arctic Monkeys - 505

Eminem - Headlights

GnR - November Rain

"Hits hard" may be subjective and situational, but I guess it can be interpreted as emotionally touches you?

• Lissie - Pursuit of Happiness (Live at Brighton Great Escape 2010)
• The Cranberries - Zombie
• Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free to Wear Sunscreen
• The intro soundbit on Infinity Train
• The episode intros of Jobless Reincarnation ("Mushoku Tensei") (song with video mix) - always with episode relevant content, showing the world, incredible world-building, with its amazing harmonic conclusion)

Last Kiss by Pearl Jam

Halo intro sound track.

So, I almost never listen to this song because somehow it always makes me so so sad. I am a metal guy, I love heavy shit, from Kill'Em All to Watch The World Burn; but an old friend passed me this song once and it broke me into pieces.

It's the saddest lullaby ever.

I recommend this fan-made lyric video specially for those who don't have English as first language. I find it funny that it doubles on views the original song.

Terrible Things, by Mayday Parade.

Bones in the Water by Battle of Mice. I've never heard that level of unhinged screaming in my life. Plus it's creepy as fuck

Green Bird by SEATBELTS.

Charles Bradley’s cover of Changes by Black Sabbath.

He sings it dedicated to his mom and that gets me every time.

Cats in the Cradle - Harry Chapin

I'm doing my best to not let my life be like the song, but that's tough...

Pink Floyd - High Hopes

Bob Dylan - Dirge

I have so many, but today I was listening to the radio and was really getting into Elton John's "I'm Still Standing", Heart's "Crazy On You", and Peter Schilling's "Major Tom". It was truly a good day on the radio.

The Other Side by Public Service Broadcasting really drew me in the first time I listened to it.

Also Open Your Eyes by Snow Patrol gives me the feels for some reason.

Ghost - Badflower

99 Red Balloons - Nena

For me, I've gotta say "Machine Messiah", by Yes. It's one of the longest, and most interesting songs I've heard. Most songs have just one "mood" explored in them, but this one shifts from joyous to melancholy and back multiple times, and does so perfectly. Plus, I'm very nostalgic about it since it was one of my favorite songs as a child. Drama was the one of the first two albums I bought as a kid, almost entirely because that one song was on it. (Also--is that a Sonic pfp, op? A person of culture, I see 😉)

The Sun, The Moon, The Star - Æther Realm

A ~20 minute metal masterpiece telling the story of someone leaving home in search of purpose and only upon leaving realizes the beauty of what he had before.

Melodically beautiful and I cry every time I hear it!

"That funy feeling" by Bo Burnham

Linkin Park - One More Light

Toy Soldiers by Martika

Pink Floyd - marooned.

Great post idea! My list is based mostly on nostalgia for a certain period of time in my life:

Fog (again) - Live - Radiohead

Pyramid Song - Radiohead

Fake Empire - The National

Hurt - Johnny Cash

Headlong - The Frames

Scattered Black and Whites - Elbow

Grace Under Pressure - Elbow

Starálfur - Sigur Rós

Hoppípolla - Sigur Rós

October - U2

Ocean Lab - Breaking Ties (https://youtu.be/g13nsQaCxbg )

Great breakup song if you want to just let it out

John Farnham - Help (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dv54giOSRKs )

This is a cover of the Beatles song. Very different vibe to the original

Realising now my music tastes are a bit weird...

The Taxpayers - Go Fetch a Priest

https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=3NAbXIGkUhg

Here's my list

Estranged - Guns 'n roses

Zombie - The cranberries

Karma police - Radiohead

Kiss and swallow - IAMX

Lay low. Tiesto.

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

Kill 'em All era Metallica, or the MTV acoustic Alice in Chains.

Lately, Bjork - Stonemilker

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

Somewhere Only We Know by Keane, it always makes me think of good time with my ex. Sting like a bullet train everytime i listen to it.

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