Saddest song you've ever heard

[vikk]

hard to choose, perhaps For Your Demons, by Saturnus

 

[Cressida]

Some of the songs i was gonna post are already mentioned above.

These are some that are coming to mind at the moment.

Khoma-Hyenas and Harvest
Rapture-About Leaving. The lyrics and the ending to this song still strikes a chord every time i listen to it.

Springsteen's Nebraska album must be the saddest mainstream "rock" album ever. Jezus.

That album is a masterpiece. His best album and made all by himself at home with a 4 track, if I'm not mistaken.

Sad songs....
There are so many, but here's one I was just playing:
3rd And The Mortal - Sleep (from In This Room 1997)

Others I can think of
Lisa Gerrard - Come Tenderness (unbelievable track)
Warning - Footprints
My Dying Bride - For My Fallen Angel (this one used to fuck me up pretty bad)
Ulver - Eos
Depeche Mode - In Your Room ("...or will you leave me lying here in your favourite darkness?...")

Oh, oh, I just remembered,
Y'all need to listen to this song, but not if you're suicidal. Be warned

Beth Gibbons - Show (from "Out of Season" 2002)
