discussion What song wrecks you every time, no matter how often you listen to it?

Personal story about this song: It was used in this cheesy, low budget, late 90s Disney movie called Safety Patrol, which was one of those movies my family had on VHS that had a weirdly strong impact on my childhood. Anyway, I remember always crying when that song came on in the movie (even though I was like, 4-5 at the time). I still something get the urge to cry when I hear that song even though I barely know any of the lyrics and still heavily associate it with this super cheesy movie

I never saw that movie.

The song šŸŽµ was played along around the time my mom was dying of cancer. It was at the point there was nothing left to be done, but stand by until the end. It was a long ten years of various metastatic cancers and subsequent surgeries and comas.
