my baby - blake shelton. I hat most country music but this song was played at my grandfather’s funeral for my mom and I cried hard. I have a daughter and it’s lyrics are ridiculously maudlin but true.
cat’s in the cradle - Harry Neilson. still gets me every time. Good songwriting does that.
Good Girls Don’t - The Knack. Makes me sweat esp since I now have a teenager.
Seventeen - Winger….same reason
