For me it's "We won't be a alone" by Feint feat. Laura Brehm. I just have nostalgia attached to it and it brings back some nice summer memories.

This post is also for song recommendations since I listen to the same songs for years and I guess I wanna hear something new.

Rum & bass by boom kitty

Not quite the same vibe as the rest here but this song makes me feel like I could walk through a cement wall and fist fight an army

Great on a rowing machine at the gym if you really want to set a PR

Witch by TotalDeadCenter hits similarly

If "Cat's In The Cradle" doesn't get you, you are not a father.

Fun fact, the origin of that nursery rhyme is unknown. The earliest source I can find is this Dutch "Cat and the Cradle" story:

For me it's Answers from FFXIV

Such a heartfelt moment that I tear up as soon as I hear the melody

Everclear - Everything to Everyone

It has one of my favorite lines in a song ever: "I think you are blind to the fact that the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down."

BΓ΄a - Duvet (Acoustic Version), it's an alternate version of the opening song to the fantastic show Serial Experiments Lain. I don't have any particularly impactful memories associated with it, but for some reason it just gets me feelin. Night walks with this song just hit different.

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.

I have so many, but today I was listening to the radio and was really getting into Elton John's "I'm Still Standing", Heart's "Crazy On You", and Peter Schilling's "Major Tom". It was truly a good day on the radio.

I always hail back to Marmalade and "Reflections of My Life."

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.

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

Ocean Lab - Breaking Ties (https://youtu.be/g13nsQaCxbg )

Great breakup song if you want to just let it out

John Farnham - Help (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dv54giOSRKs )

This is a cover of the Beatles song. Very different vibe to the original

Realising now my music tastes are a bit weird...

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.
