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.
Tim Minchinβs βWhite Wine in the Sunβ hits me so hard I canβt listen to it when Iβm driving. I bawl every time.

Although I'm not a fan of U2, I think "sometimes you can't make it on your own" is such a song to me. Also some stuff from hospice and burst apart albums from the antlers.
Helpless by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
I heard it in a very sad moment of my life and it will be forever bound to be "the song that makes my eyes need to pee"
the folk song "Pretty Saro"
Almost Blue Elvis Costello
Almost blue
Almost doing things we used to do
There's a girl here and she's almost you
Almost
All the things that your eyes once promised
I see in hers too
Now your eyes are red from crying
Almost blue
Flirting with this disaster became me
It named me as the fool who only aimed to be
Almost blue
It's almost touching, it will almost do
There is part of me that's always true
Always
Not all good things come to an end
Now it is only a chosen few
I have seen such an unhappy couple
Almost me
Almost you
Almost blue
Cecily Smith by Will Connolly is just some bonus track from a musical I've never seen or heard but every time I hear it I almost weep.
I love my wife very much and the core concept of "life isn't about the things that we do it's who we are doing them with" is a core ethos to my life, so the song is personally very relatable.
I used to do Renaissance Faires.
"Wild Mountain Thyme" was the song the entire cast sang together at the end of each day, my first year.
It hits me like a truck every time.
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
All of the Virtute The Cat songs by The Weakerthans, but Virtute The Cat Explains Her Departure in particular will make me tear up any time I hear it.

Hopsin - I'll mind if Hopsin 7
About how he'd believe in God (Christianity) if God showed us his existance. Hopsin went to be a Christian follower but fell out after a while because he couldn't blindly follow a baseless religion. The whole song is pleading with "the creator" to show his existence while explaining that he really does care and wants to believe but can't.
