It doesn't get any sadder than George Jones 'He stopped loving her today.'

One Tree Hill by U2 is a tear jerker for me.

LINK

Bono's assistant was running an errand for him when he was killed while riding Bono's motorcycle.

From Wikipedia

quote:

The track was written in memory of Greg Carroll, a Maori man the band first met in Auckland during The Unforgettable Fire Tour in 1984. He became very close friends with lead singer Bono and served as a roadie for the group. Carroll was killed in July 1986 in a motorcycle accident in Dublin. Following the funeral in New Zealand, Bono wrote the lyrics to "One Tree Hill", which he dedicated to Carroll. The lyrics reflect Bono's thoughts at the funeral and reflect on his first night in NZ when Greg took Bono up Auckland's One Tree Hill, as well as paying homage to Chilean singer-songwriter and activist Víctor Jara. Musically, the song was developed in a jam session with producer Brian Eno. The vocals were recorded in a single take, as Bono felt incapable of singing them a second time.

The older I get, the more sentimental I get.

Time-Pink Floyd

Those verses really strike a chord with me the older I get. Seeing my kids grow up and moments/opportunities lost. Really brings home your mortality.

The entire antlers album "hospice" hits me in the feels pretty hard, but the song Kettering is especially chilling
