I came to say this.

Never Tear Us Apart- INXS

The Green Day song was my 8th grade graduation song so it sort of chokes me up.
I have never listened to “You’ll Never Walk Alone” without crying. That includes instrumental versions. The first time I heard it I was probably 5 watching Carousel and I cried then too.
“Sunrise, Sunset” is another one I have never gotten through intact. 100x worse after becoming a mom.

Fields of Gold by Eva Cassidy.

This Must Be The Place - Talking Heads

Love these, I’m feeling nostalgic these days too. That song by Green Day would be on my list. I saw Ben Folds in concert, so many poignant songs, especially Brick after I learned what it was about. When I heard the furs song, I sat at the red light and cried, maybe it was Richard Butler’s voice or the melancholic music but he combination affected me.

Somewhere over the rainbow

I don't know why, but I find it very moving, if cliched.

If I saw you in heaven, Eric Clapton. Maybe because it’s about his preschooler son dying in a tragic accident but that one makes me absolutely bawl. It’s a beautiful song but I just can’t listen to it.

And this one I feel dumb about but for some reason the Green Day Time of Your Lfe sort of gets to me.

This also makes me think of when I played Danny Boy for my son when he was little and he burst out in loud sobs like an old drunk Irishman. I was very startled but it was pretty funny. He’s very empathic. He also could not listen to that I Lava You song without sobbing.

The Bob Seger version of Little Drummer Boy. I literally tear up every time I hear it.
Boys of Summer, Don Henley. It’s not the story really, but his voice and everything. It’s just tear inducing for me.
Bigger than the Whole Sky, Taylor Swift. Shit that’s a tear jerker.

Circle Game by Joni Mitchell
Landslide

I see an aging/nostalgia theme for me.

Agree with Forever Young (gives me chills every time I listen)
Dust in The Wind (Kansas)
Don't You Forget About Me (Simple Minds)
