1* Many, many, ''many'' songs, notably almost every track on ''Electric Tears'', ''Population Override'', ''Colma'', and ''A Real Diamond In The Rough''. However, the absolute crowner would have to be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSxPDAUbiQA "I Love My Parents"]]. They all manage to be {{tear jerker}}s with [[{{Instrumentals}} no lyrics.]]
2** Apparently, he wrote "I Love My Parents" when he became homesick after moving to LA. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Awww....]]
3* ''Sail On Soothsayer'', which is a follow up song for the first one he dedicated to his aunt - ''Soothsayer''. ''Sail On Soothsayer'' was written for her after she passed away, and is much more melancholic and gentle in tone.
4* In 1998, Buckethead released ''Colma''. The album was made for his mother, who was in the hospital recovering from colon cancer. It was the 4th album he ever released, and truly showed just how much he cared about her. 16 years, 91 solo records, and countless side projects and guest appearances later, he released ''Hold Me Forever'', in memory of her.
5* Although it's a sample, [[spoiler:the death of]] [[Series/GiantRobo Giant Robot]].
6* ''Heaven Is Your Home'', released on Father's Day, in memory of his father.
7* "Watching the Boats With My Dad". Just...Jesus. Buckethead actually sounds like he's weeping through his acoustic guitar.
