Tear Jerker / Motörhead

• The closing title track of 1916, a ballad told from the perspective of a soldier dying on the first day of The Battle of the Somme. At the end, he mournfully says "And now there's nobody remembers our names..."
  I heard my friend cry, and he sank to his knees
  Coughing blood as he screamed for his mother
  And I fell to his side, and that's how we died
  Clinging like kids to each other
• The lyrics of "Till the End", from Motörhead's last album, Bad Magic, suggest that Lemmy had accepted by that point that he didn't have much time left. Turns out he really did know himself like no one else.
• "Lost in the Ozone" from Bastards, a somber song about a lonesome castaway which can also work as a parallel with many people's experiences of major depression and loneliness:
  Alone and crying, and a thousand miles astray
  Alone upon the cruel sea, forsworn and cast away
  I turned my face to God, but his face was turned away
  Lost in the ozone, nothing left to say...
• At the 2016 Grammy Awards, the supergroup Hollywood Vampires, which included Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry, performed a tribute to Lemmy, during which they shined the spotlight on a setpiece showing Lemmy's bass guitar and amp, as well as his boots and hat.
• Their cover of David Bowie's "Heroes". Especially noteworthy since Lemmy and Bowie died within weeks of each other.
• This cover of Ben E. King's "Stand By Me". On top of being one of Lemmy's best vocal performances, it's also very haunting.
• White Line Fever, Lemmy's autobiography, reveals that for all the women he's slept with over the years, he's only had one person he's ever truly loved romantically. It was his first, too - a black girl he met while living in England as a teenager. A heroin overdose resulted in her death, and since then, he's never had any other romantic relationships by the time he himself died. Heart Broken Badass doesn't begin to cover it.
