Mockingbird by Eminem. The lyrics are just so damn raw as he goes through his life raising children in the spotlight. He knows he's screwing them up but he can't stop it, the wheels of fame keep turning. He needs money to be a caregiver. Without it, he wasn't able to buy them Christmas presents or help them get to college, couldn't provide any life for them. But to get money now, he has to leave them. The chorus gives me goosebumps:
'Now hush little baby, don't you cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Stiffen that upper lip up, little lady, I told ya
Daddy said ill hold ya through the night'
But it's that outro, the ending, where he rephrases the childlike lullaby with the anger of a father who'd die for his children's safety. That's what sells it.
'And if you ask me to, daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird
Imma give you the world
Imma buy a diamond ring for you, Imma sing for you
I'll do anything for you to see you smile'
It's his most genuine song and I love it to pieces

Too many to remember them all, honestly. However, even though I'm not a huge classical fan, listening to this all the way through always gives me chills in certain parts, and even makes my heart ache that the human mind can create music so beautiful, and that someone can be so talented to be able to play it.

"grow together" by Greensky Bluegrass. I own the album it's on, and I still get chills whenever I put the record on the turntable. The song makes me think about the birth of our children and what lies ahead.

Yeah, hate all you want. It's got its tentacles firmly and deeply embedded into the emotional center of my brain.'Mt Heart will go on' by Celin Dion. I always remember the great love and tragedy that was showed in the film Titanic.
