Pencil's "emo" playlist

I got bored at work and decided to start a master playlist of sorts on my spotify. the following is said playlist. I'm looking for recs to add as well :]. Any song that just screams out "emotional" (literally or not, doesn't matter) is welcome, as I really fucking stretch what emo is already. I'm also keeping it one per artist too.
1Braid
A Dozen Roses

a shame I only discovered this one not too long ago.
2At the Drive-In
198d

A bit of a hidden gem from this band.
3The Saddest Landscape
The Sixth Golden Ticket
4American Football
Honestly?

this playlist would be incomplete without any kinsella project.
5Dance Gavin Dance
Tidal Waves: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner

As a whole DGD isn't emo, but Whatever I Say is Royal Ocean totally is.
6The Promise Ring
Why Did We Ever Meet

Ba ba ba da ba ba ba ba ba da ba bap Do do do do do do do do

there's something funny to me that I chose like the shortest song they have. the opening gets stuck in my head every once in a while. I like a good trumpet.
