10 Powerful Songs From Grey's Anatomy Season 15 That We'll Be Crying Over For Months

Is it even Grey's Anatomy if you go an episode without crying to a song and then immediately looking it up afterward? The show is notorious for its use of indie-rock artists and melancholy Sleeping at Last covers. For season 15, the long-running medical drama enlisted emotional tracks from more obscure artists, including British indie-pop chanteuse Bishop Briggs and folk-rock singer Tommy Ashby. Most notably, it paid respect to Dia de los Muertos with an emotional Spanish cover of Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars," aka the ballad that made you cry your eyes out when Denny Duquette and Derek left the show. Read ahead to find out our favorite songs from the 15th season — so far!
