As the title says....which song still haunts you emotionally? And why? A (freely accessible) link might greatly bring your point across.
Mine would be: (Typhoon - "Empiricist") https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E328pIZWFM
The lyrics go deep and it just touches me. No otherwise special attachment.
Jim Croce - Time in a Bottle is both beautiful and heartbreaking. Never fails to put a lump in my throat.
Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers
Sitting in the back row of the movie Ghost probably our 4th or 5th time seeing it, he finally got the nerve to kiss me, it was truly magic, I miss him so much.
This song plays at one of the hardest moments of the visual novel Steins;Gate. It also starts the same moment in the anime, but the VN truly nails the nature of the moment better.
Without spoiling it, all I can say is that the scene is just as sad as the song is.
Edit: The S;G0 version has strings and captures even more of the feelings, although the original is more than enough on its own.
Spider in the snow by Dismemberment Plan. It's a song about not really getting close to anyone and watching your life go by. Why? Because I probably have seen myself in it a few times in my life.
Hey man, this is dark....
It can be, but I think the song is more meant to be a wake up call to anyone in that situation. It took me a long time to realize it, but kinda is what makes me occasionally come back to it. Would heavily recommend the Emergency and Me album, kinda stands the test of time.
Always Something There to Remind Me - Naked Eyes
a dear friend of mine's mother and grandmother died the same week. this song came on the radio when i picked her up at the airport and we both started bawling.
The Heart Remains a Child - Everything But the Girl
just because it is heartrendingly real.
