What song hit you the hardest emotionally? And why?

love-related, of course

but many years ago. now I am almost indifferent to it. once you mature you understand romantic love is an illusion and it's not suitable to (serious) men, it's for teenagers.

There was a point in my early adulthood when I couldn't listen to the "Rose of Tralee" without my eyes beginning to water. It was one of gran's favorites and my mother suffered similar episodes when hearing it.

This song came on the radio just after my father died. It brings all the memories back of that time.

Luke Kelly’s rendition of Phil Coulter’s famous ballad „The Town I Loved So Well“ draws upon Irish melancholy so masterfully it seems unparalleled.
For me this is no more evident than with the lyrics „Now what's done is done and what's won is won
And what's lost is lost and gone forever„. It always leaves me in shivers.

Thank you for sharing that. I'm sure your father was a very good man. I find this song sad but beautiful. Gordon Lightfoot, and the song, were popular with my parents. They are both from the upper Midwest (Great Lakes region where the ship sank) and liked this kind of 70s folk music so there was a bit of a connection. There is something about it that sounds like an old rollicking sailors song. It hit me on a visceral level that I have trouble articulating. I also really like the song you posted and it is very familiar to me.
