Dust in The Wind (Kansas)

For me it’s Carry On Wayward Son, because it was played at the funeral of a friend who killed himself the summer after we graduated from high school.

I have never listened to “You’ll Never Walk Alone” without crying.

Seconding this. Was my late mom’s favorite song.

“You’ve got a friend” sung by James Taylor, written by Carol King. I cry every time I hear it.

For a dose of happy, songs by BTS made me happy during some of my darkest times. They are so wholesome and so are the lyrics. Home, Make It Right, and Save Me. Their Tiny Desk too:


Anpanman because grown men jumping on a bouncy house. They looked like they were having so much fun.

The Green Day song is called Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), FYI.

The Punky Brewster theme song.
Starmaker (by the kids in Fame) - sung for a teacher (Mr. Crandle) who is retiring/leaving the school, but unknown to the actors on the show, he was actually dying of cancer.

Operator- Jim Croce
Black- Pearl Jam

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.
