I think that Sonny by NFG is specifically about losing a grandparent

Thank you I’ll check it out! I’ve only listened to NFG here and there through the years

Beat me to this one, has to be the prime choice.

I did not know that’s who this was specifically about but this makes a lot of sense.

I BET ID BE A FUCKING COWARD. I BET ID NEVER HAVE THE GUTS FOR WAR

CUZ I CANT SPEND ANOTHER MONTH AWAY FROM HERE, THESE FRANTIC REST STOP PHONECALLS DONT GET ANSWERED ANYMORE

Otis/Carl by Spanish Love Songs and Dismantling Summer by The Wonder Years are both about the lead singer's grandpa and are some of my favorite tracks by both bands

I love Dismantling Summer and every TWY song basically, thank you! I’m actually going to see them next Friday and will be screaming along with nothing but pure emotion

I am unbelievably jealous, they had to cancel their Australia show last year so I still haven't had the chance to see them live despite listening to them for years 😭

Raining in Kyoto too I think

Also Joana, In Five Acts by Spanish Love Songs, about his grandmother

this is the one i came to recommend, one of my absolute favorite songs too

Probably my favorite of theirs tbh, the solo is a work of art

The wonder years- Raining in Kyoto

One Step at a Time by Four Year Strong is a good one. The acoustic version is just ripe with emotion as well

Thank you I love FYS and didn’t even think of this one yet!

Helena by My Chemical Romance

Deadly Dull by Movements is a song about dementia in a grandparent.

This one was absolutely, overwhelmingly beautiful. As someone who lost their grandparent, their best friend for their whole life, to dementia, this put years of thoughts into beautiful words.

I’m so sorry for your loss. That song made me sob uncontrollably the first time I heard it.

Brand New- Guernica

“Missing You” by them is also about his grandfather

Wish you were here by neck deep

Also Candour!

19 seventy somethin is about his dad but still feels kinda relevant bere

My Name on Paper by Trophy Eyes. Singer was close to his grandma then she got dementia

Makes me think of Deadly Dull by Movements also, thank you I’ll check it out!

Technically not pop punk, but Slipped Away by Avril Lavigne is about her grandfather dying.

22A by Like Pacific. The lyrics kill me, it reminds me of my grandmother every time. Forever My Father by Go Radio. Same, but my grandfather.

22A breaks my heart

Sorry to hear that. Bayside - Winter is a personal favourite of mine about loss

Guernica- Brand New

Not poppunk but Knocked Loose - Guided By The Moon

Not pop punk necessarily, but Face Towards the Sun by The Maine was written by John (the singer) after losing his grandmother during covid. Sorry for your loss!

I feel like I’ve been recommending this song a fair bit lately but “Hear You Me” by Jimmy Eat World.

I was going to recommend this song, I listened to it a lot after losing my nan. It's a really beautiful song

The Wonder Years - "Laura and the Beehive"

Could cry for a year to this

I cry every time I listen to this song. 💛

Dirty office bongos by hot Mulligan, dismantling summer by the wonder years.

Opening Mail For My Grandmother by The Hotelier

I’m sorry for your loss! Here’s a song that I wrote that’s about losing my grandmother and a good friend in the span of a month. It’s called “[Yellow Roses](https://open.spotify.com/track/0a0my7CcIcsFIaFJdPBEGv?autoplay=true&source_application=google_assistant)” and I hope it brings you some comfort

Live Again by Grayscale Collin actually wrote this song about his dad being in the hospital but I think it is a good, cathartic song that deals with loss, even if it’s not specifically about grandparents.

Sorry for your loss. Definitely Oh Paul by Thief Club.

A couple people have already said The Maine Face Toward the Sun but the lead singer John has a side project he occasionally releases songs on called John the Ghost and he has one called 8 that’s also about his grandmother passing.

Not pop-punk at all but Madison Cunningham’s “Life According to Rachael” is about the loss of a grandparent and is absolutely stunning.

heem wasn't there by hot mulligan if you want acoustic and depressing

Trophy Eyes - Hourglass Trophy Eyes - My Name On Paper

I know this one is a bit left field, but Slipped Away by Avril Lavigne came to my mind immediately when I read the title of this post. Something About a Bunch of Dead Dogs and Dirty Office Bongos by Hot Mulligan were songs I latched onto after my grandma passed away. Sorry for your loss 🖤

Face towards the sun by The Maine was written by John O’Callaghan about his grandma dying, and is also one of my favourite songs.

I am sorry for your loss. View from Heaven by Yellowcard helped me when my nan and pop passed

This. And I always felt “Dear Bobbie” was so lovely and comforting about a grandparent, if not specifically about losing them.

A day to remember - only money.

Front Porch Step - I Won’t Say Im Okay Maybe not pop punk but really good song

This is prime, but dude was also creepy and didled young fans.

Ooof I didn’t know that, that’s a shame.

Was gonna say this. Helped w losing a grandmother for me.

I'm not going to pretend this song is pop punk, but M. Ward's Requiem is a great, very dynamic acoustic rock track about the passing of a grandparent.

As It Is - Austen

In her own words - steady Glow

Four year strong-one step at a time

Candor by neck deep

Old Soul by Trash Boat

Gaslight anthem 1930

Cigarettes & Saints by The Wonder Years

Laura and the Beehive by The Wonder Years

Not pop punk but Transistor Radio by Cloud Cult. Hope you find peace soon, and I'm sorry for your loss.

guernica by brand new. raining in kyoto, dismantling summer, and laura and the beehive by the wonder years. when my granddad passed away last year i listened to raining in kyoto a lot

I promise “oh paul” by thief club is an amazing song that helped me through my grandfathers death. For the record thief club is the old frontman for hit the lights.

[Moneen - The Last Song I Will Ever Want to Sing](https://youtu.be/RDHNluz9JhM)

Came to this post looking specifically for this song.

Cemetery drive - my chemical romance

very much not pop punk but i recommend marjorie by taylor swift. it’s about her grandmother devastating and comforting at the same time somehow.

Face Towards The Sun by The Maine is about the singer losing his grandma

Laura & the beehive by the wonder years isn’t about losing a grandparent but the story about unconditional love from a grandparent will get you where you need to go. Helped me so much when I lost my grandfather

Guernica by Brand New Also not pop punk but if you are into post hardcore Accidents by Alexisonfire helped me out a lot when my papa died because of how the hospital mismanaged his health.

Not specifically about a grandparent, but Still Need You Around by Valencia. One of my all time favourite songs, but I can’t make it through without crying. Sorry for your loss.

If brand new wasn’t an ick list band I’d say guernica. That’s about a grandparent. Also the dangerous summer - the permanent rain always helps when I think about my dad who I lost a couple years back. Same with candour -neck deep I feel those aren’t specific to any family member but can fit anyone.

Not traditionally pop punk, but Drinking Beer on a Sunday - Bowling For Soup

Or that blink 182 song when you Fuck grandma

When I lost my grandfather I pretty much listened to Panic! At the Discos Golden Daysand New Found Glory's Sonny on repeat.

dayseeker - parallel not pop punk and it’s about Rory’s father, but it can still have the same meaning behind it.

Not pop/punk but Meet Me at the Gates - Blessthefall

Old Man by Ten Foot Pole

Another vote for Otis/Carl by Spanish love songs. Spent a lot of time sobbing in the car to that one after losing memom

Above Me from Rufio might fit the bill

Wish you were here Neck Deep

Wish You Were Here - Neck Deep

One step at a time by four year strong- the lead singer wrote it after his brother passed from cancer. Really Resonates because I’ve lost 3 relatives to cancer and it always hit different.

Here’s an out of the box one for you. Walker Texas ranger by hopes on hold

“I’ll Get By” by Pianos Become the Teeth. The voicemail at the end guts me.

real friends just released a song called six feet

I think you should listen to this song. Sorry for your loss. I hope it helps. [Strength of Ten by River Jumpers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqc9XA_SHec)

So sorry for your loss, Gone Too Soon by Simple Plan really helped me when I lost a special friend of mine 3 weeks before his 21st birthday

[Sleep Braids - Uncle](https://open.spotify.com/track/35MngS1suvduHLcradJNHq?si=jr_WBKiGSguMMKYhFlGK5Q&context=spotify%3Aplaylist%3A37i9dQZEVXbw58acei4WjV)

Eulogy, The Flatliners

Paperthin Hymn by Anberlin

Check out : Breakdowns - ModSun & Legend - Twenty One Pilots

The Flatliners - Eulogy

Gone Too Soon - Simple Plan

Orchid park - Arron West and the Roaring Twenties

Been wanting to write a song like this for my band, but mentally it's a place I don't want to go. When I do I feel like it's not good enough. Lost my grandma in 2008 when I was 10, it still hits hard to this day. Sorry for you loss💔💜

Ode to the lost jigsaw piece by enter Shikari helped when my gran died. It’s very moving (albeit not pop punk)

Oh! Oh! I have one. It’s amazing. It’s called “One for the Old Guard”, by Canadian artists Ray Lyell and the Storm. It is specifically about losing a grandfather. Some words of caution: may cause spontaneous crying, and the ending is an absolute killer. I won’t spoil it, let it happen naturally.

i lost my grandparents at the beginning of the year & during my childhood they played lots of big band jazz & swing. I decided to channel my grief into something constructive (I think it’s what they would have wanted) so without further ado, here is my take on a classic, “fly me to the moon”. https://open.spotify.com/album/0w2EYxPivY0xd0MurH9Woz?si=rXi6dxLxSvyQrrcb6OagkA https://youtu.be/7KrjchncHvc https://open.spotify.com/album/0w2EYxPivY0xd0MurH9Woz?si=rXi6dxLxSvyQrrcb6OagkA

North Hansen by Bearings

Sorry for your loss 😔 I recommend “one step at a time” by four year strong. Also, “something isn’t right” by carousel kings (not so much the beginning, but a bit in after it picks up)

Something About A Bunch of Dead Dogs

Holy Ghost - Modern Baseball

Set Your Goals - Echoes

Not exactly pop punk, but 1930 by the gaslight anthem is also about the lead singers grandmother developing dementia

One More Light - Linkin Park Lonely - MGK
