The loss love between a dad and a son,
"My child arrived just the other day, He came to the world in the usual way.
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay.
He learned to walk while I was away.
And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew, He'd say,
"I'm gonna be like you, dad. You know I'm gonna be like you."
 
Hmmm, interesting, it was just my eldest's birthday, yesterday.

Gone Away - The Offspring

If we're doing classical music, here is the Elegiac trio that Rachmaninoff wrote on Tchaikovsky's passing:



In looking for this, I discovered he'd written an earlier single-movement elegiac trio when he was a teenager.
 
My favorite song of loss of a friend. It was written by Hoyt Axton about a friend that both he and John Kay knew. Kay liked it so much that Steppenwolf recorded it soon after it was written.

 


As a small boy, I had watched her coronation on the flickering black and white television. My wife is British. Needless to say, the loss of the Queen touched our household deeply.
 
I think this song was inspired by the passing of two people: Chris Cornell and the producer for this band.

One of my favorite song, Sealed With A Kiss



I don't want to say goodbye for the summer
Knowing the love we'll miss
Oh let us make a pledge to meet in September
And seal it with a kiss
Yes it's gonna be a cold lonely summer
But I'll fill the emptiness
I'll send you all my love every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss

A trad song from Steeleye Span about a young wife losing her beloved during the Battle of Trafalgar. Folk music is full of broken-hearted women with beaux at sea. It was just a way of life in pretty much any seafaring culture for a few centuries.
