Favorite songs about relationships

[stankowalski]

Some of the best songs (to me at least) are songs about relationships between people.  It's a topic that everyone can relate to.  Whether it's about a relationship between a man and a woman, a boy and his dad, good or bad, etc...etc.  So what are your favorites?  BTW this isn't genre specific so throw out your best Wham! if you want.

I'll start it off.  This song is about a relationship between a son and father.  More specifically it's about the death of the father and the son's thoughts.  This song came out about 15 years after my dad died but I still get some chills when listening to it.

The previous song was about a son losing his father and now this song is about a brother losing a brother through suicide.  The lead singer's  (Shaun Morgan) brother committed suicide.  

I haven't lost anyone to suicide but Morgan does a great job of conveying that feeling.  Another chill song for me.

And now a song about a drug addicted son battling his demons while pushing others away (in this case his mother).

Easily the best of all time...

I can't find a YouTube video of it because the album was just released but it's on Spotify.

 

Sturgill Simpsons - breakers roar

the whole album is for his newborn son but that song will make you cry. And gives great life lessons. The whole album is incredible. Lucky kid to have a dad like that, let alone write an entire quasi-concept album for you.

 

edit: just do yourself a favor and listen to the whole album from start to finish.

Basically Glen Hansard's entire album from Once.

Falling Slowly and Leave are some of the first songs that come to mind about relationships.

Holy cow I used to sing this all the time when I was a kid but had completely forgotten about it thanks!
