Loimata e maligi (Tuvalu language) by Te Vaka is heartbreaking. It was written in memory of 19 young girls who died in a fire at their boarding school on the island of Vaitupu, Tuvalu, in 2000.

The translated lyrics:

Let the tears fall down

My heart is filled with sorrow

For we have lost

Many loved ones

Let the healing flow over me

and wash this pain away

For we have lost

Many of our young women

It¹s hard to understand

That 19 lives were taken

And along with it

The future of a small nation

Let the tears fall down

My heart is filled with sorrow

For we have lost

Many loved ones

Pelican by Maccabees reminds me of my mortality 
After the Earthquake by Alvvays, at first I thought it was about Molly's Dad
