Which song makes you emotional? Why?

Oof, one of the earliest memories I have of a song making me emotional is Closing Time by, I guess, Semisonic. I was young, maybe not able to drive yet, and teenage hormones were probably driving me temporarily insane, but notwithstanding any excuses, I can remember riding in the back of the family SUV, listening to this song on whatever mp3 player I had at the time and having VERY strong emotions. I may have recently gone through a breakup (I know teenage angst, cringe), and for whatever reason this song hit home.
