    Forever Young (specifically the youth group cover). Especially after hearing it played in a tribute to Philip Hughes in 2014. Life is so fucking unfair sometimes

    Hero of War by Rise Against - I’m a vet to this hits fucking hard.

    Blackbird by Alter Bridge - My stepdad got cancer in 2020 and had a very slow decline until he finally passed in 2025. Watching him wither away was heartbreaking. I saw him around Christmas of 2024 and he was still able to get up and move around on his own, but only for a short period of time. I went back down a month later to help my mom, because he couldn’t even get out of bed anymore. The hospice nurse came one day and basically told us he maybe had a week at most. He couldn’t even talk at this point, would not eat, and you could tell he was just in constant pain. I told him not worry and that I appreciated everything he did for my mom and that I would take care of her. He passed a few minutes later with his dog in his lap. Later that afternoon, after I had gotten everything taken care of, I took his dog for a walk. This song just happened to come on while I was walking her. The line, “May you never be broken again” made me breakdown right there in the middle of the park. To this day I still cry every time I hear the song.

      Hero of War also a strong fave of mine. Bleak as fuck. No Bravery by James Blunt is on similar lines.

    Paper Aeroplanes by Angus & Julia Stone. My ex girlfriend introduced the song to me just before she died. Even over 10 years later I still struggle to listen to it.

    A Warm Place by Nine Inch Nails.

    Something about this song takes me right back to a certain time and friend group in high school.

    I’m the only one still standing after a loss this last winter and I can’t even think of listening to this track for a few more months.

    RIP K.I.D. you and the rest of the tree people are missed.

    I’m Not Gonna Miss You by Glen Campbell. He wrote and recorded it as Alzheimers was eroding his memory. It was the last song he recorded. I heard it just after my mom was diagnosed.
