Anything war-related can if I'm drunk or sentimental enough, but this non-war song stands out. It's no musical masterpiece but I think what it is, the guy drags the story out so long, builds on it enough, it feels like watching a movie with your ears.
 

This almost made me cry, there's something so unbelievably emotional about the ambience.
 

This whole album is weaponized sadness dedicated to his wife who died of cancer. He played it on her instruments after and wrote songs about their young daughter who she would never see doing many things.

The whole album is her health decline, story of their love, and him grieving terribly for a woman he loved and coping with being a single parent. He apologizes to her for throwing out all of her clothes "im sorry I had to" talks about breaking down infront of a cashier at a store because he told her why he was sad. It's very raw.

It opens with him getting a delivery the day after she died of a backpack for their daughter's first day of kindergarten, knowing she would never live to see it.

There was another about a little Island they visited where they vacationed and conceived their daughter where he was picking her berries. It ends with "and I'm still picking you berries." And damn that's a rough one that I think of A LOT.

Another zinger is "Death is real" as the one quote that always gets me at the end of one of the tracks. It's poignant but hits so hard.

the Album ends with him on a walk with his daughter in the woods and a crow watching over them. Their daughter says "mommy" looking at it.

No surprises by radiohead
And stop the dams by gorillaz

Tender and the universal by blur.
Every song that reminds me that there is beauty and love in the world
 
more so the music video than the song itself, it always takes me back to a point in my life where I was a piece of shit but I had fun (for the most part) being a reckless drug addict.


 
There's plenty of women,
There's drink, and there's drugs,
But we both know that won't be enough
 

so many songs make me cry that it's downright embarassing. but this one always gets me.
 
This never fails to make me bawl like an absolute bitch:

It's a shame everyone knows that awful tune "Zombie" but ignore the deeply sentimental tunes they were masters at.
