* [[GriefSong Grief Song]]: "''Mez Vochinch Chi Bajani''", "''Der Zor''", "''Kga Mi Or/Where Were You''", "''Havatum Em''".
** "''Kga Mi Or/Where Were You''" are especially significant because the song(s), thematically centered on the Armenian Genocide, were released on April 24th, 2015...the centennial anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. The music video doubles as a {{TearJerker}} because in addition to Sirusho wearing a solemn, black, traditional Armenian dress and headpiece, footage of the Armenian Genocide Memorial's Eternal Flame in Yerevan, protesters demanding recognition of the Armenian Genocide, historical images ''of said genocide'', and battle scenes are interspersed throughout the video.
** The song itself is pretty heartbreaking.
-->"''The broken dreams that we left\\
As we fled from our soil\\
Why's there so many now dead?\\
Are we no longer loyal?\\
How do we escape now,\\
Where do we begin now?\\
