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.

Mad World. I respect Tears for Fears, but Gary Jules did it much better

IMHO, Jasmine Thompson aced the song.

The Pentatonix version comes in tied for second place.

Why? I think the song really nails how we can feel about this world sometimes. It was a fairly good description of me In my more depressed times, or at least, it triggers some very familiar feelings of the past.

Honestly, the Thompson/Pentatonix versions were both heart- and soulless. Dunno how they got this popular? Even though I love TearsForFears, Gary Jules indeed did the best version of it.

"The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had..."

Ouch.
