Music Meaningful songs

[Arcaneum]

Are there any songs that you'd say are significant/meaningful for some reason? Whether that be something like nostalgia, song played during your first date, or something else!

For me, one I will always go to is twentyonepilot's March to the Sea:

I used to listen to this all the time around NYC when I was visiting, which was a pretty big 'life event' as it were because I hadn't really ever had enough money/opportunity to be able to go somewhere like NYC and as a result it had never been on my radar! Whenever this song comes on I am instantly taken back to my time in the States.

Another one would be House Is Not My Home on Zebrahead's MFZB album:

It was the first album I bought (a birthday present, as it released 4 days before my birthday!) and what would set me on the path of pop punk and loving Zebrahead as much as I did; the song was my favourite on it for a LONNNNNNNG time. Partly because it was a very different sound to the usual punk/pop punk I was listening to at the time and partly because of the message within the song.

Sure, there are plenty. But the one that first comes to mind when I consider the topic is The Scientist by Coldplay. I sang it for one of the most important members of my family in the afternoon, and he died that same night. No one ever said it would be this hard indeed...

I guess a lot of the songs that have meaning to me aren't really... typical? But if I think of a typical answer for this question it's probably Hey There Delilah by Plain White T's. Apparently the actual story behind the song isn't how I've always interpreted it, and actually makes me sad learning the proper context, but I've always seen it in a way that's felt really relatable and makes me emotional.
When I was in elementary school, another student I looked up to sang it for a talent show and it's one of the only times I remember really paying attention to the lyrics of a song around that age. I'm someone who started making friends online way younger than I probably should have, and it led to the friends I did have at school making fun of me for it or saying all the stuff like "They're probably just creeps lying about their age" and the lyrics of "A thousand miles seems pretty far, but they've got planes and trains and cars, I'd walk to you if I had no other way, Our friends would all make fun of us, and we'll just laugh along because we know that none of them have felt this way" really put the feeling I had into words. It hit a lot different when I met my boyfriend online years and years later and I remember it playing on the radio one of the last days before I moved away from home to be with him.
Looking back on it, I guess it is kind of cringy, and I'm not sure I could really enjoy the song the same way nowadays, but it has meant a lot to me throughout my life.

And, okay, this is probably a weird pick, but the song Layer Cake from Persona 5 has a lot of meaning to me as well. P5 is a game I waited years to play with my bf and the first time we met in person when I stayed with him for a couple weeks, playing it was practically all we did. It was something he was super excited to show me and that meant a lot to me as the first thing we could really experience together in person. When I had to leave and go back home, I listened to the P5 OST a lot, especially in the airport waiting for my ride back home and on the train to and from work during the months between my visit and getting to fully move out to be with him. Beneath the Mask has a lot of meaning too, but it's a sadder song and Layer Cake is the thing I'll always put on whenever my plane has landed and I'm going somewhere, whether it's back home or seeing him again. You mentioned songs having meaning due to being linked to something like a first date, and this is kinda the closest I've got to that.
