I'm a real song person, and always have the tracks that resonate on a given moment on repeat.
Does anyone know of a nice Jewish song that will resonate in regards to mourning a loved one?
I need something comforting and slow....

Written for specific person but still hits home a lot. I don't think that many of these songs are made in general because Aveilim don't listen to music in general.

Thank you.
Aveilos is over, but the mourning is not....
Am I the only one?

Neshomele-Abie Rothenberg
Songs about belief in Hashem like ani maamin or Esa Einai might help bring on the years and feeling of yearning.
There's a beautiful heartfelt version of tzomo lecha nafshi by Moshe Hecht. It's a Chabad Niggun about yearning to be close to Hashem.
I don't know if this helps, just some ideas

I also remember listening to 'Prayer for Peace' by Ken Burgess.

There was also another one by Gershon Veroba 'chazak'.

Sorry I don't have links for all the songs I've posted. Most of these are going back into my memories of when I lost someone close to me and the songs that I listened to back then.

Rabbi Efraim Wachsman composes and sings a new song every Erev shavuos. This year, his song did speak a lot about comfort for losses that Klal Yisroel has suffered. May HkbH comfort you and all as only He can with the Ultimate Comfort VERY soon!!!

I second "Little Neshamala"

If you are willing to consider an English song, I'd suggest Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven", he wrote it (with another songwriter) after his son died. Very sad, almost impossible not to feel like crying when hearing it. It's about mourning lost loved ones and what it might be like when he sees them in heaven someday.

I hope you find something to help comfort you during this difficult time Hug

This isn't a Jewish song per se, rather a Hebrew Israeli song. לבכות לך, by Aviv Gefen. It's a touching song he wrote when he lost a friend and became very popular after the Rabin assassination. The lyrics are beautiful, very poetic.

Chanale has a beautiful song about her cousin who passed away - it’s called Raizel’s song.

If you don't want only Jewish...? Then One More Light, by Linkin' Park, and especially the video by One Voice.
