Fade to Black:BY Metallica. This song was written after all the bands' equipment got stolen in 1984. Not a very emotional loss, because those material things could be replaced, unlike the passing of a loved one or close friend. But still technically a song about a loss, so mch to the point to where the lyrics say:

I have lost the will to live;
simply nothing more to give;

almost implying suicidal thoughts(In my opinion)

To Live Is To Die: By Metallica. The entire solo was dedicated to former bass player Cliff Burton. You can really feel the emotion in this one.

And those are the only 2 songs that come to mind at the moment, I had more when I started typing, but I forgot as I went on.

I like both of these songs equally, I dont like Fade To Black more than TLITD, as a matter of fact, i dont even really like the song that much. I just put it there because thats all I could think of.
