"Boys will be boys" by Stella Donnelly. Best listened to blind, imo, so won't give context.
Hero of War by Rise Against. An American soldier's view of war.
Raoui by Souad Moussi (I can't understand arabic so she might be singing a shopping list, but the pain in her voice gives me shivers every time)
No Bravery by James Blunt. A British soldier's view of war.
I have a long playlist of stuff like this called "Managed Melancholy" - it's part of my mental health self care to immerse myself in sad sometimes and really feel. (I'm fine btw, and this is part of giving me an outlet)
