Live performances are another story though, and sometimes changed arrangements can really change my feelings to a song (I always liked Love Songs, but the album version sounds hollow to me now compared to the lives).
For me, I think certain songs resonate more if I'm in a certain head-space. I was never a big fan of Untitled~for her~ but I remember after my father died, I watched her concert performance of it, and suddenly it just hit me and suddenly all the dots connected and it made sense. Out of Control, and to a lesser extent, Anything for You, also become really stand-out songs to me at that time.

I can understand this! When my grandmother passed last year, the songs that spoke out to me were
(miss)understood and
fated. I think that certain scenarios call for certain music, and it doesn't really strike us how important or how sentimental they really are until those scenarios happen. I think it's painful, but also very important and beautiful at the same time.
