As the title says…which song still haunts you emotionally? And why? A (freely accessible) link might greatly bring your point across.
Mine would be: (Typhoon - “Empiricist”) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E328pIZWFM
The lyrics go deep and it just touches me. No otherwise special attachment.
Wings for Marie pt 1 and 2 by Tool. It’s a 17 minute pair of tracks so there’s no expectation of you, dear random reader, to slog through it, but it’s very meaningful to me. It is haunting and beautiful though.

I lost my mother unexpectedly and when I was rather young (mid 20’s).
As a little relevant back history of the lead singer, he was at odds with his mother when she was alive but she passed of cancer. My take on the song is that this is an ode to her.
My mother was mentally ill and we never had a good relationship, but after that loss I spent a lot of time thinking about all that was strong and good in her. And I miss her still, despite everything. This song evokes those feelings and still brings me to tears to this day.
Edit: updated formatting a bit and the links. The parts 1 and 2 video I found worked fine via ddg but the direct link didn’t seem to work, so changed to links to the individual songs.
