Oh god I adore swing life away. Have you heard the instrumental version? That or What a Wonderful World are my favorite songs, of all time, ever.

So much music makes me cry. Not always a sad cry but a wow how can this be so good cry. Also a lot are songs I discovered a long time ago and specifically remind me of very significant times of change in my life. These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head

Grey’s soundtrack from seasons 1-4. It made me cry in highschool and it still makes me cry out of nostalgia now.

Paul Simon - The Boxer

Pearl Jam - Thumbing my Way

I almost never listen to the second act of Hamilton because it’s too sad

I was about to make a playlist and start listening to it but then I remembered I’m at work in an open office and I definitely shouldn’t tempt fate that way

This is my barometer song. If I’m listening to this and sobbing at 2 in the morning, I gotta change my life.
