I love this question — I exclusively gravitate towards songs that make me cry. Here’s a rec that always makes my heart ache (the composition is stunning imo)
*thirteen by big star
*father and son by cat stevens
*you are your mother's child by conor oberst
*fake plastic trees by radiohead
*i know by fiona apple
*the body is a blade by japanese breakfast
*a burning hill by mitski
*bookends theme by simon and garfunkel
*i belong to you by brandi carlile
yes i have a crying playlist
off the top of my head —
1. alone again (naturally) by gilbert o’sullivan. this one is obvious it’s super depressing
2. izzat love? by todd rundgren. i associate this song with my mom because todd is her favorite and i learned to love him through her, so it just makes me want to hug my mom
3. our house (demo) by graham nash and joni mitchell. sobbed listening to this on repeat when i was really lonely after i moved out into my first apartment
If you love seals as much as I do, give Michael Boyd and Seal Rescue Ireland a follow on instagram (I love their content so much!)
Here’s a photo of a mother seal and her baby that we took in Oak Bay Marina (Victoria, BC) 😊
