Foo - Saddest songs

What are some of the saddest, most depressing songs you know? Songs of loss, pain, suffering, etc.- Songs that make you want to slice your arm off...

A few gems I can think of:

The Cure - To wish impossible things
Low - Things we lost in the fire
Dirty Three - I really should have gone out last night

What are some of the saddest, most depressing songs you know? Songs of loss, pain, suffering, etc.- Songs that make you want to slice your arm off...
and its a really cheesy choice but "wish you nights" by Cliff Richard brings a lump to my throat, as does "wondeful world" by Louis Armstrong, the theme from *M*A*S*H* and "mia bambina caro" by Puccini

Stew (aged 42 going on 65)

Mad world is theeeee saddest.

I won't say it's devastating, but "Moonshiner" by Uncle Tupelo is pretty sad.

copeland - testing the strong ones (non-LP version)
death cab for cutie - movie script ending
red house painters - have you forgotten

How's about almost every Joy Division song?

Samuel Barber's Adaggio For Strings.

Cabledonut.

There's a jazz song,the title I don't know. But it's essentially, "if I had done this or that, maybe you would have loved me as much as I loved you." If I hadn't laughed at all your jokes, if I hadn't let you light my cigarette...

Something like that. It's really poignant, because it's someone who realizes he just doesn't love her as much as she loved him...I just wish I knew the title of that song!

Ava Maria, Taps, and Amazing Grace.....tried and true funeral tunes. Does not matter who's it is. I weep like a baby (on the inside).

taps, for sure.
Streets of London
Stevie Ray Vaughn the sky is crying

The Dance- Garth Brooks
The Good Stuff- Kenny Chesney
Sorry is the hardest word- Elton John

Another few:

Syd Barrett: Late night. (Later done by This Mortal Coil.)

Nick Drake: Way to blue.

Symphony, No 3, Op 36 ("Symphony of Sorrowful Songs") Composer: Henryk Gorecki.

not shure why.. 'everywhere' by Bran Van 3000.
(I know why, just not going to tell.)

Elvis Presley's "Ol' Shep"

The Baby by Blake Selton

I gotta go with:

I know it's over --The Smiths
Asian Rut-- Morrissey

Final emotional work, followed by the composer's suicide shortly afterwards
